Maximus gritted his teeth realizing that Arioch is doing the same thing that he did his last life. He is still seeking the Dark Lord.
«But this time, I will be careful»
He composed his heart and waved his hand asking his men to back off.
Julius, Elrich, and others watched Arioch disappearing in the dark mist as if he got dissolved into the night. They have watched a lot of supernatural stuff as they are following Maximus, but this is the first time they are seeing the darkness encompassing so much vile, deceit, and maliciousness.
And they were vowed to see the popular resistance leader disappearing in that darkness. They expected their Emperor to fight against it since he is the strongest person they know. But seeing him not moving, they were confused.
Well…
Maximus let out a sigh. He didn't have the strength to fight Morfan but if Arioch is leaving, he is trying to escape.
