Chapter 960: THE FINAL BATTLE (26)
Aliana took Abby’s baby, because she looked like she was going to faint. They had run for hours now and they couldn’t afford to fight a monster, even more if there was a horde of them.
Abby also was not in a good condition, she ran out of strength and the magic users were rather useless without the magic stones and the Sylph.
This wouldn’t do, they needed to find a way out, but where they had to go? At this point, there was nowhere safe for them.
"I think, we need to keep heading south, Aliana," Joel said. "The red smoke spread from the Capital City to Red Claw pack and then Golden Light pack. If we kept heading south, I think we can avoid the poisonous miasma."
"You are right," Aliana said breathlessly. Her head was spinning. The poisonous miasma had not yet purified completely from her body. She looked around. She was rather familiar with this area because they set a base here when they fought alongside Red Claw pack warriors against the royal. "Let’s go here."
Aliana led the way, as the rest of them followed. The scouts went ahead to inform them whether the path was safe or not, with that, they could avoid an encounter with monsters and took another way if the poisonous miasma blocked their path.
==============================
"I can’t move..." Zale protested. He laid down on the ground, staring at the night sky. After the storm and everything that happened, the sky looked clearer now. "I am so exhausted..."
After more than five hours purged Decratic’s body, all of them felt out of strength.
"Even in his death, he still managed to make other people miserable." Lou stretched his body. He then walked toward Cane, who was still cradling Iris in his arms. He didn’t move at all, until Lou thought he and Iris had turned into statue. "How is she?"
"Sleeping," Cane replied without lifting his head to look at the merchant.
