Chapter 307: Aro vs Azalea 1 (side Azalea)
307 – Aro vs Azalea 1 (side Azalea)
Azalea’s point of view .
The silhouette of the girl inside the fog swings its disproportionately large arm, and the head of a soldier is crushed . He doesn’t even have a chance to scream . It’s clearly an instant death . He probably couldn’t even tell it was coming .
That grotesque humanoid silhouette, and this miasma . There’s no mistaking that we’re under attack from an undead . It’s arrived at the worst possible time . Even though I need to perform perfectly in order to get through this, monsters were laying in wait to ambush us, preventing me from leaving with Tolman-kakka and the hostages .
It seems Grodel stumbled into a spider’s nest . It’s clear they’re using some sort of technique to seal the horses’ movements . I don’t like to consider it, but they must have some intelligence . Perhaps the Lithovars used some special ritual to raise an undead as their guardian .
“Wh, wh… wh…”
Tolman-kakka’s voice trembles as he watches the tragic scene unfold . His sword slips from his hand, and the blade clangs to the ground .
My priorities right now are preserving Tolman-kakka’s life, and securing the hostages . Without the hostages, I would frankly have no way to proceed .
“It’s an undead! I’ll need some time to take it down . Grodel! To be safe, take Tolman-kakka and fall back on the flying dragon towards the fourth battalion! The rest of you, abandon your horses and flee in the same direction, taking the children with you!”
