Chapter 49: Seeing Her Again
Torin gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
The four chained Azure Cloud elders were forcefully shoved right behind him.
Behind them, Vargas, Byron, Vespera, and Drask led the Ironpeak and Barlowe forces, keeping a safe, calculated distance. Seris walked silently among them.
The interior of the ancient golden palace was unimaginably vast.
Towering golden pillars. Walls carved with weapons, and unseen beasts.
Swoosh!
They had barely walked a dozen paces when the painting of spears on a wall suddenly came to life.
A dozen razor-sharp spears forged of condensed essence shot out from the walls.
Torin had no choice. If he dodged, the spears would instantly shred the chained elders behind him.
He erupted his peak Level 9 essence to forcefully intercept them.
BANG!
The spears shattered, the force drove Torin back half a step.
"Keep moving," Vargas ordered coldly from behind.
For the next hour, Torin became a human shield.
Swoosh! Boom!
