Chapter 142: The Trial
‘Well, I said I’d lead the meeting, but... now what?’
I had declared with confidence that I’d preside over the gathering and managed to expel the “Great Shadow” from my body. But the real problem was just beginning.
I had absolutely no information about this so-called Shadow Assembly.
Sure, I knew the general idea. A congregation of black mages from across the land where orders were handed down and discussions held—some sort of bonding ritual or whatever.
But... how the hell was that supposed to work in this cramped cave? Was the whole black mage community really this unimpressive?
“Oh? Did something happen while I was gone?”
“What do you mean?”
“...You just look a lot worse than before.”
Glancing around nervously at the tight cave walls, I put on my best poker face and answered the Shadow Witch who had just returned.
“It’s nothing. Now, take me to the meeting hall.”
“...Huh? But this is the meeting hall.”
She blinked at me, scratching her head.
