Chapter 190: Lich Slayer (2)
Karnak's group sprinted through the dense forest, weaving between the trees with practiced ease. They showed no hesitation despite it being almost pitch-black.
Faint moonlight filtered through the gaps in the canopy, barely illuminating their path. Their trained legs instinctively adjusted to the subtle changes in terrain, leaping over roots and avoiding obstacles without slowing down.
As they ran, Leven couldn't help but admire the efficiency of the plan. This secret transmission spell is incredibly useful.
Karnak had discreetly sent out a message while summoning the elemental titans.
—The moment that bastard gets distracted, bolt straight north into the forest!
Because of that, the entire group had managed to escape at the perfect moment. There had been one exception—Lapicel, who couldn't hear the magical transmission. But that hadn't been an issue at all.
She was so light that she could be easily picked up and carried away. At that very moment, she was still tucked under Serati's arm, being transported rather than running on her own.
Lapicel, her face flushed red, jabbed Serati's side. "Please put me down. I can run on my own now."
Realizing her mistake, Serati quickly let her go. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Lapicel broke into a sprint, keeping pace with the others.
Well, of course. Even if she is a young girl, there's no way she wouldn't be embarrassed being carried around like luggage.
Meanwhile, there was someone else—a grown adult—who had no such shame about being carried. "Faster, Varos!"
"Yes, sir!"
