In the central area of the city, the black fog grew denser.
The once vibrant and lively central square that had welcomed Ariel and her entourage was now shrouded in darkness like a forbidden place, with lingering fog, withering plants, and an air of decay.
Just as the worried Leo Ray arrived with the main powerhouse forces.
A series of hurried footsteps suddenly caught his attention.
Bewildered, Leo Ray followed the sound and noticed.
In the black fog, two familiar figures gradually appeared from the haze and ran towards him.
One of the figures was a portly man, wielding a sharp short sword. Although he looked quite obese, he was surprisingly agile when running.
The other figure was a petite and delicate woman, even smaller than both Serena and Stella.
Her weapon was the same clawed spikes that Redstar had, and her neatly cropped hair was tied with a sky-blue headband that swayed rhythmically as she ran.
