Chapter 488: Echoes Before the Storm (1)

The wheel had finally begun to turn, and there wasn’t much time left…
Using my teleportation ability, I managed to escape the enemy’s land alongside Ghost without incident.
The moment we got far enough from that death zone, I was finally able to exhale, relieved after that unexpected clash against opponents who vastly outclassed us.
Ghost, in particular, had endured the worst of it. As soon as we reached safe ground, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and unable to compose himself.
He was drenched in sweat, his hands trembling uncontrollably…
It was the first time I’d ever seen Ghost in such a state. The shadows of what he had just experienced had hit him violently.

Unlike me, he didn’t have an SSS-rank aura reserve that could keep him standing in front of beings like that.

I had deliberately teleported a distance away to avoid drawing attention with a sudden appearance.
