Chapter 416
The leader of the bandits, huh? So I just need to take out the boss.
Muttering to himself, Ian closed the quest window and fixed his gaze beyond the murky darkness.
Now that I'm looking at it again, this really is the perfect environment for bandits to operate in.
The misty, hilly landscape was perfect for ambushes and surprise attacks. The distant battle's chaos offered perfect cover.
If not for Yog and the quest window, even Ian might not have noticed the ambush until they were on him.
No. I probably would've sensed them a little earlier than that.
Feeling the low resonance of the bead of chaos essence, Ian snapped the reins in his left hand.
The black horse, which had been scraping the ground with its front hooves, burst forward in an instant. Its acceleration was beyond comparison to any ordinary horse, carrying a momentum akin to riding a charging bison. It even surged ahead as if it had already sensed the approaching enemies.
Not bad. Not bad at all. At least in here.
Ian rose to his feet in the stirrups, keeping his upper body slightly lowered to minimize wind resistance. Amid the rippling mane, his eyes, still locked on the darkness ahead, gleamed with swirling blue magic. And at their center, a small dot of violet shimmered.
Shhh.
