Thump. Thump. Thump.
Compared to the regular thumps produced by the Earth Sand Golems, this one was louder and more ominous. Even the heroes who were already feeling a modicum of helplessness started despairing when they heard the heavy footsteps coming from the Zecian Portals. Whatever it was that was coming, it wasn't good.
Albrecht and Isaias felt it was well, but they didn't take it to heart since the thumps were slower compared to the regular footsteps of the Earth Sand Golems. If any, this meant that they had to deal with a wave of Earth Sand Golems before dealing with whatever they were behind those loud thumps.
"Al—" For a moment, Yulie was supposed to scream Albrecht's name out loud. But before she could complete his name, she realized that Albrecht was currently hiding his identity. That's why she cut her scream short and instead, continued running, surpassing the Earth Sand Golems who were just coming out of the Zecian Portals.
