It seemed that he wanted to stop the mysterious elder's progress.
However, before the city guard soldier could get close to the elder in the blood red coat,
the mysterious elder had already vanished from the soldier's sight.
"Eh, where... where did he go...?"
The city guard looked at the spot where the figure had disappeared.
He couldn't help but reach out somewhat blankly and touch his head.
Just now, right before his eyes,
there had clearly been a silhouette.
How did it suddenly vanish?
Could it be that he saw it wrong?
But that shouldn't be the case...
"What's wrong with you?"
Another soldier beside the city guard noticed his strange behavior and stepped forward to whisper a question.
"A bit strange."
"Just now, there clearly was someone right before me," he said.
"But in the blink of an eye, that person disappeared."
"It's as if they were never there..."
"That's absurd, truly absurd," the city guard said.
