Chapter 175: Apostate, Freya
Half an hour ago, the center of Maplewood Town.
Seance pulled the reins tight, his gaze grave as he stared toward the southern forest.
Before he had even stepped into this town, he had sensed a dense aura of foul magic; after arriving in Maplewood Town, he found the situation far more severe than imagined.
The air was filled with turbulent magical fluctuations, and even the sky was affected by black magic, appearing a stifling grayish-black...
"Those damned black mages..." the squad commander, Joshua, cursed under his breath. After tying up Seance's horse, he accompanied him all the way to the meeting hall in the town center.
"Lord Seance, please follow me. The local mayor has been waiting for a long time."
The mayor looked at this great figure he had never seen before with trepidation, his voice carrying unease. "Lords of the Church, you have finally arrived!"
He hurriedly began to describe the events that had occurred this morning.
"In the morning, the forest over there suddenly began to tremble, one wave after another, as if some great explosion had occurred... Later, even the sky turned dark!"
