"Let's go, follow me."
Pei Hongjing said.
A few bodyguards walked around him, front, back, left, and right. Two hired Awakeners bit their teeth, carrying hesitation and fear, but still followed.
A line of people moved through the silent resort.
It was eerily quiet, but soon, they could faintly hear some ghastly roars.
The bodyguards' faces changed abruptly.
The two Awakeners did as well.
At that moment,
Black Blade, who was leading the way, stopped. An invisible air current dispersed around him, and the temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly. Two Awakeners who were about to continue persuading their clients also froze in place.
A fearsome pressure enveloped them, a chill ran up their spines to the crowns of their heads, and their throats felt as if they were being throttled.
"Roar~!"
In the distance, ripples appeared on the water, as if impacted by something, revealing faint grey-black outlines.
