Chapter 61

Kuahel watched Maxi pick her way down before continuing. She could not help but marvel at his nimble footwork. While she was slowly becoming a snowman from her numerous tumbles in the snow, the paladin was surprisingly well-kempt. They pushed forward with their descent until they came across a towering rock face blocking their path.

"Could you use your tracing spell here?" said Kuahel, turning to her.

Gasping for air, Maxi nodded slowly. She touched the ground and infused her mana into it to get a rough estimate of their location.

"I think we are… on the opposite side of the mountain we were investigating yesterday."

"Can you locate the others?"

She considered it, then shook her head. "I would have to… weave a very tight net. Such a vast area would require an immense amount of mana."

"Then, we can only hope they will be able to find us," Kuahel muttered with a sigh before moving along the rock face.
