Chapter 84: Advent of the Pages
The weight of danger filled the air.
Soul helped Speed aside while MK helped Noelle to her feet, and they made their way into the house. Raiden remained outside, patiently awaiting whoever was behind the aura he’d been sensing.
He couldn’t trust Aeris completely, but he believed her words about assassins given the circumstances. Plus, he knew the approaching figures weren’t assassins.
Was his bloodline ritual already identifying them as enemies?
Raiden activated Gaze Beyond to get a proper look at the approaching threat. His vision searched through the forest, but as it turned out, he couldn’t reach beyond three miles.
This made him uneasy as he stood still, fingers twitching, lost in thought.
"I think..." Freya said as she looked through the distance with her gaze beyond activated. Raiden’s expression turned grim as he wondered if her sight reached farther than his.
"Those aren’t intruders... it’s Leo and Levi."
A sudden wave of relief surged through Raiden, forcing a soft smile onto his face. "Are they injured or something?"
"No," Freya said casually. "Levi has his usual cocky smile, and I think he’s teasing Leo." She smiled.
"Leo’s wearing a white shirt with gloves and a bandage on his nose," she said, narrowing her eyes slightly. "He doesn’t look great, but he seems fine."
Raiden gave a firm nod, but his expression grew somber. He was expecting them to come with Alex.
