Chapter 34: Interrogation [3.]
After freeing herself, she didn’t rush to attack. Instead, she waited patiently, only making her move once everything had settled and the caravan’s guards were down. Then she struck—fierce and without mercy.
Veran’s group had barely escaped. Many of their men were killed.
Even worse—she had the terrifying ability to possess the bodies of weakened soldiers.
A single being... capable of taking many forms and spreading death wherever she went.
Elias shivered at the thought.
Now, it made sense why the other races feared the Arcane so much that they had once united just to fight them.
Of course, whether the arcane race was truly as evil as Veran described, Elias wasn’t sure. After all, history was written by those who won. But that wasn’t his biggest concern at the moment.
The injured arcane woman was now targeting the group of survivors—and they had taken shelter in his territory. That meant she would likely come for his territory next. And such an unknown threat was indeed the scariest kind. He needed to be careful.
Elias pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a soft sigh.
"How troublesome..." he muttered, his brows furrowed deep in thought.
An arcane race member hiding within Embergrove Forest... A dangerous opponent. Unpredictable, powerful, and far more difficult to deal with than most enemies he had faced since arriving in this world. Just the thought of someone who could possess others and even split herself to control multiple bodies was enough to make anyone uneasy.
