Vlad, Jormungandr, Ouroboros, Freya, and the Royal Guards pressed forward, their pace steady but cautious, following the trail of clues left by their unknown target. As they moved deeper into the forest, a sharp sensation struck the three Depravitas, causing them to exchange meaningful glances.
From the beginning of the search, they had been focusing the full power of their A.I. Chips into their scanning force fields, and they had just detected something significant.
Freya, Mirena, Frank, Roman, Clasius, and Amara immediately halted. The group was aware that the Depravitas possessed unique scanning abilities, so they must have detected something critical to react that way. The viking princess and the Royal Guards knew their perception could not compare with the trio's, and they trusted the Depravitas' instincts, so they stopped without question.
