Chapter 19: The Protagonists Arrives... Elemental Origin Path!
Meanwhile, Leo, who had just left his dorm room to complete the system’s mission, encountered unexpected trouble the very moment he stepped outside.
A loud noise had drawn the attention of the guards, and it just so happened to originate in his direction.
Frowning as he looked into the distance, Leo swiftly ducked behind a wall, only a few feet away from where the sound had come.
His eyes narrowed as the sound of heavy footsteps neared his location.
Two guards arrived at the scene moments later, their expressions stern as they began scanning the surrounding area.
Their eyes were sharp and alert, scanning for any sign of what had caused the disturbance.
Suddenly, one of the guards’ expressions shifted. His eyes lit up as he studied the shadows nearby.
"There’s someone here," he whispered quietly, his voice transmitting directly into the mind of his companion in a low whisper/
The second guard raised a brow in surprise. "How’s that possible?"
Although their voices were low, Leo, who was listening with extreme focus, caught every word.
A cold chill ran down his spine, and his heart began to race.
His fears were confirmed when the first guard suddenly turned and locked eyes in the direction where Leo was hiding.
