As Aric ventured deeper into the Demonic Lands, he began to pick up subtle signs—tufts of fox fur scattered across the ground, traces of energy still lingering in the air. The further he went, the more the signs accumulated, pointing toward the trail of the Nine Tailed Fox Clan.
"Good, I'm getting closer," he thought, his steps quickening as he followed the clues left behind.
After about an hour of searching through the dense forest, the faint sounds of battle reached his ears. The distant clashing of energy and roars filled the air, pulling his attention in the direction of the fight.
"Finally, some action," Aric murmured, his eyes glinting with excitement. He moved silently, using his Celestial Veil Technique to conceal his presence as he approached the source of the noise.
