Along with Gesine, Cassandra, Keres, and surprisingly the high priest as well, they journeyed to a forest where supposedly the sea devil was last spotted.
The information was uncertain since it was sent by a letter, and the sender did not return.
The forest is far from Cordelia; it's a place where most travelers have to pass through when heading to the city.
Multiple routes have been created to avoid this forest.
Even before the sea devil came to the forest, it was already well known as the Wailing Forest, where the dead are said to walk alongside you.
There are plenty of mysteries in the forest, and adding the sea devil makes it far more terrifying.
"We won't know what will happen if an unknown entity were to show up."
They are at the entrance of the forest; it was bright and sunny, but the forest looked dark.
It was dense enough that some sunlight couldn't pass through the trees, which made it even eerier.
