The Malignant One [Pt 4]

[A Few Moments Earlier]

"Huff… huff…"

Claudius was already beginning to feel the exhaustion in his body as he sprinted at full speed, without stop.

His aged, wrinkled body began to ache, begging to slow down for even a moment. However, he knew he could not do that.

Stopping for even the slightest of a second meant certain death.

Sweat sprayed from his face as he navigated the path he and his men took to reach the KariBlanc Mansion.

His goal was simple—escape the Capital!

He had expended all of his Mana, and right now he was merely running on the little reserves that his Enchanted Items gave him.

He had lost all of his Undead, and even if he had his full stock, they would be useless against the enemy.

Even running was useless.

But… Claudius had to hold on to hope one way or the other.

As a result, he found his legs moving.

'Faster!'

They swept past the silent city.

'Faster!'
