Chapter 126 - Human Souls

Ethan remained hidden among the twisted trees, his breath steady as he watched the grand palace from a safe distance. The majestic spires loomed over the forest, their dark, polished stone glinting faintly in the dim light of the twilight sky. The massive, ornate doors stood guarded by the imposing lion-like creatures clad in gleaming armor.From his vantage point Ethan assessed the situation carefully. He knew that a direct approach would likely be met with fierce resistance. The armored beasts guarding the entrance were definitely strong, and he could sense the latent power they possessed. He still don't know what they can do so its better to be causious.Ethan knew he can take them both, but engaging them head-on would alert a whole even if he win so he needed to devise a strategy that would allow him to infiltrate the palace without alerting the entire floor to his presence.
