Chapter195-Surrounded by Powerful Foes

"Who's there?! Argh—!"

Just moments after Alan had finished off the last two attackers, a sharp scream suddenly rang out from behind him.

He spun around instantly, his instincts flaring, only to see a figure plummeting from the sky, like a bird whose wings had been violently torn away.

Alan narrowed his eyes.

"What happened?!"

Alan's brows knit into a tight frown. Without hesitation, he rushed toward the point where Francis was about to crash.

As he moved, his eyes caught a new presence floating in midair.

The newcomer wore no mage robe, only a casual outfit in deep violet tones—but the chaotic swirl of mana around him made it unmistakably clear that this man was a mage.

The man calmly rubbed the rune ring on his finger, his lips curved into a faint smirk as he peered down at Alan from above.
