In the cave, an old voice suddenly echoed.
Kael couldn't help but his body tense up, or the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He also experienced a sense of déjà vu.
Could the person who had escaped have returned with more men?
A doubt arose in his mind: if Said had followed him to the waterfall, had he seen him go in and killed him on the hidden path?
At that moment, multiple scenarios and conjectures flooded his thoughts, along with the search for a solution.
But he found none. In every case, it ended with his death.
Kael noticed that the voice sounded extremely old, but full of determination. This weighed heavily on his heart. However, unlike the first time, he had now awakened his core, created his dantian, and formed his magic circle. His strength, though considerable for someone of his rank, was not enough to take on an entire group.
"You, who have found this inheritance, listen to my story so that you may access it," the ancient voice echoed again behind him.
