Chapter 119 - Invincible
The group continued their journey under the scorching sun as Lilia recounted her experiences in the royal capital of Asura. Her voice carried a nostalgic tone as she spoke of the ruthless political games within the palace.
"There were many princes and princesses, but the games in the palace are cruel. One by one, they died... I don't know how many remain now, but the favorite to inherit the throne seemed to be the firstborn, Grabell Zafin Asura."
Rygar was about to ask other questions when suddenly his ears perked up, the hairs on his arm stood on end, and he looked in a specific direction.
Instantly, the others felt the change and their hands moved to their weapons.
The reaction was automatic. They had learned to trust Rygar's perception, whose long-range detection ability was unmatched. Not even Skoll could surpass him in that.
He stayed alert for a moment, analyzing; he picked up the presences with his keen hearing, and he could also sense the smell, then activated his Demon Eyes.
His vision expanded, seeing the flow of mana in slow motion, each particle moving distinctly before him. He couldn't see the mana flow far away, but he could see a blur moving. After that analysis, he said:
"There are two people moving along the same path as us. But I sense no hostility, even though they are laden with magical items... And by the way they walk, one of them is probably a warrior."
The group relaxed a bit. Eidar then commented:
"They're probably travelers like us. Skoll probably sensed a powerful Red Dragon before."
Skoll growled, as if in agreement. Ghislaine crossed her arms and nodded.
