CHAPTER 168 - The tension subsides.

The forest Raven and the others were in was close to the capital city of Valmoria.

So, it was only natural that so much noise, including Raven and the demon horde's war and then Alex and Rufus's fight with the Malformed King, would attract a lot of attention.

However, since this area was officially off-limits, no one could enter unless they had the king's permission.

The sound of explosions from Raven's fight would've already made the knights or the guards around this area send a message to the king, and once the king allowed for it, they would've rushed to investigate.

But seeing how they were arriving now when all the sound had died down, they were all pretty nervous.

That wasn't uncalled for, though.

The reason for the group's tension at Jake's news, however, was that this matter involved the king.

However, not everyone was apprehensive.
