Kuren hobbled toward the depths of the mountain, concealed by the bushes. His location at Dawn Peak had been exposed.
He couldn't explain why his Spirit Paintings were brutally devoured by a monster. His poor paintings, once so vivid, had become mere remnants.
Nor could he understand why he, who had stayed well behind the incident, was inexplicably attacked—and not lightly, either.
Anyhow, his mission to protect Dawn Peak of Guru Mountain could be considered a failure, and he was unable to determine the current situation of his companion, Dastan.
Kuren felt that his World Setting Technique had no obvious flaws, yet somehow the enemy had seen through it. They had immediately spotted the locations of his paintings; without the paintings, the Alchemical Markers disappeared too. His watchful eyes set on Dawn Peak of Guru Mountain had been plucked out one by one by those who climbed the mountain.
