Murphy whirled around, his icy gaze sweeping across the field like a blade.
Standing there were the seven High Level Apprentices who had originally followed Mitchell, having just arrived to regroup.
"Speak!" Murphy's voice was hoarse and bone-chilling, filled with boundless fury.
"Where did Mitchell go? How dare you leave him behind?"
At that moment, the seven High Level Apprentices were trembling uncontrollably, terrified by the Liquidation Wizard's formidable pressure and overwhelming killing intent.
The one at the head of the group barely managed to compose himself, replying with a quaver in his voice:
"R-Reporting to Lord Murphy, the Young Master... he... he took the defector, Leon, and went... went southeast to pursue a Shadow Moon Apprentice."
"Southeast... the Stone Forest..." A blood-red glint flashed in Murphy's eyes, and he didn't ask another word.
'The sensation he had received before the mark dissipated indicated a location not too far from here!'
