Chapter 105: The Witchs Forest (3)
When Karnak first heard the news, his initial questions weren’t "How could the Brigade of Purification, with two red-tier aura users, a sixth circle mage, and a first-class inquisitor, be defeated?" or "What happened to Alius?
Instead, his thoughts were far more practical.
"Varos, didn’t they leave just yesterday afternoon?"
"They did."
"Then how did they know that they went missing after just one night?"
While the Witch’s Forest was less than half a day’s journey from Swindler Fortress, it was impossible to predict how long the search for the witch would take. A lack of contact for two or three days would be perfectly normal.
"What makes them so certain they’ve gone missing after only a day?"
There was an explanation.
"This time, two survivors managed to escape."
However, the survivors were half-mad, making it difficult to discern what had happened. Their responses to any question were vague and repetitive.
—It’s a witch! Aaaaaah!
—They’re all defeated! Everyone’s fallen!
