Destructive Battle!

Hvítreiðr, Path to the Underground Sanctuary

In the path leading downwards, a swift silhouette moved within the shadows of the torches. Due to its mastery of stealth, even high-level individuals would find it difficult to notice.

After progressing a bit further, the figure opened its crimson eyes and turned in a particular direction. "I can sense the life force, they are this way," it muttered, drawing its sword and accelerating.

The powerful auras from the tower had been felt. Internally, the figure lamented that this mission should have been undertaken by a count-level individual, but the presence of the dark knights, who gave off a feeling more dangerous than even counts, kept its worries at bay.
