The news this time was not brought to Ansel by a black feather but by Nerilia herself.
Tall and slender, her appearance seemed unhealthy, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. She knelt on one knee before Ansel, bowing her head deeply, and after reporting the matter, she quietly awaited his response.
"So, you have found another portal teeming with fire elements…"
Ansel lightly tapped the table. "And it just so happens to be on the battlefield between Blood Dust and Firmament."
The Shadewell, roaming the shadows of the Western Lands, constantly brought Ansel information from all directions, and of course, bypassing his nominal personal secretary.
"Yes, the activity of that portal is exceedingly rare. The surging fire elements have even penetrated the world's barrier. Even though the portal has not yet opened, the battlefield has already turned into scorched earth."
