That night, Erick returned to Ashrya.
No wonder the sniffers could not locate Alastaire. If he was in the Shadow Realm, his magikal signature would be completely untraceable in either Azure or Ashrya.
Erick didn't have time to deal with that at the moment. He needed to do one more thing before going after Alastaire.
He needed to take out Dominic Rashak before Citrine became a wasteland like Topaz or Emerald.
Night time in Azure meant morning in Ashrya. At the light of the new day, Erick had ported into Citrine.
Erick ported through into the back alley of the large market square. The SpecTac (Special Tactical Team) that had sent ahead had tagged this alleyway as a safe spot for him to enter through, and he was not wrong.
It was a dead-end alley filled with rotting garbage that was dumped by the entire neighborhood.
