With the sudden arrival of this stranger, everyone who had gathered around the execution platform was stunned.
This was completely out of their expectations!
However, no one was more shocked than the Rank 2 Magi present. The reason being that they weren't able to notice the arrival of this Magus until the latter had made his presence known.
They scrutinized this newcomer, their expressions a mix of surprise, curiosity, and even fear.
It was a middle-aged man whose appearance was remarkably plain. He had the kind of face that would seamlessly blend in any crowd.
His features were forgettable—average height, ordinary build, and black clothes that were indistinctive.
However, despite his bland exterior, there was an unsettling aura about him. It was as if this man was enshrouded in a cloak of death and darkness.
Even standing still, he exuded an aura of ferocity.
