-In the Vast Swamp.
The filthy black mud that Eileen encountered before was just the basic part of the swamp's expansion outward. However, as she and Nana ventured deeper, the surroundings started to twist more and more.
The trees were no longer merely bare but grew in irregular shapes with their branches twisted. The stench in the air became almost unbearable, making it hard to breathe. The vast area of the muddy swamp meant they had to be careful with every step.
Eileen sneaked a glance at Nana, the newcomer beside her. This old relic's new companion had the same cool face, seemingly unaffected by the foul smell, as if she had no sense of smell. Eileen, trying to hold her own, refrained from covering her nose with her hand.
'Humph!'
She didn't want to lose to this arrogant newcomer!
The moment Nana asked to deal with the Vast Savage Swamp alone with her, leaving the Renji behind, Eileen sensed a hint of hostility.
