Chapter 175 - The Ambush at the Waterfall
While Kilian and Pursena began the modifications along the damp, winding trail toward the waterfall, the blue-skinned demon, Lerov, remained vigilant, his eyes scrutinizing every detail.
His experience in countless battles and wars allowed him to maintain absolute focus. Around them, in the mountains, not a single living being was visible.
Verdia, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to everything, calmly observing the landscape as if on a leisurely stroll. But there was a silent weight to her actions.
Kilian gestured firmly, indicating to Pursena the exact spots where each alteration in the terrain should occur.
"Here. Then over there. We need to control the earth so that the water doesn't wash away the dam over time," he demonstrated, creating a miniature version of the modifications with Earth Magic.
"If we get the angle wrong, the dam won't withstand the water's pressure, and even if it does, it won't be worth it if Milis arrives and destroys everything easily."
Pursena listened intently to every word.
Kilian then turned to Verdia.
"Lady Verdia, do you have the poison?"
The golden-haired elf seemed distracted, but upon hearing her name, she withdrew a small pouch from her belt and handed it to Kilian, saying:
"Be careful. If you inhale even a moment of this, no one here can save you."
