Chapter 282 - Back In The Tower (Part 6)

The next 30 minutes passed quietly for Arthur, with no major events occurring as he continued his path to the foot of the mountain. The forest was brutally quiet, almost to an unbearable degree.

Arthur would rather sense things around him than be completely alone in a quiet world while knowing he wasn't safe at all. The situation was far from favorable.

'Well, if something is going to attack me, then I'll be ready,' he thought to himself. With his sword in his hand and his mana moving slowly through his body, Arthur was prepared to make split-second reactions in case of an ambush or attack.

However, that attack never came, and he simply walked for a long time. He kept trying to sense or smell blood for any other corpses in the vicinity.

The footsteps were still scattered all over the area, so he was certain the battle had escalated beyond what he had expected.
