Chapter 265: B3: C55: A Hundred Master Rankers 1
The world was wrong, and Prince Ruven felt it like suffering from motion sickness. The placement of his body felt off. His sense of timing was extremely off. Everything was wrong and off, and the elf prince had no idea why or how.
The first thing he noticed outside of himself was the black sun in the sky. Seeing such a thing was horrifying, especially when the black sun was the Corma Star, leaving only the Star Core to shine some light on their world.
The next thing Prince Ruven noticed was the lack of a certain powerful presence.
Where had Regressor Justin gone?
Gripping his magic staff tensely, Ruven looked around, feeling just as confused as his nearest companions.
The central square of a pig stein city for humans wasn’t darkened by the horrible taint of the Dark Lord anymore. Prince Ruven could see the colorful flags and banners that festooned the city, especially the square he stood on.
However, he also sensed the cobblestone under his legendary-quality boots had a powerful magic coursing through the materials and the surrounding grounds. Prince Ruven felt the same magic coursing over all the nearest structures.
He quickly identified the magic as powerful defensive wards that might or might not be a part of a large array or a ward network. Arrays were powerful but short, while ward networks could last for ages but came out weaker.
Ruven wasn’t sure what he was facing here. The wards were extremely powerful, while also made to last. He found no imperfection he and his companions could crack.
