The two cockatrice generals froze when they realized who was standing before them.
It was the human who the one was supposed to be in the fortified cell rumored capable of holding monsters of B ranks.
Their wide, shocked eyes darted to each other as they tried to process what they were seeing.
That prison wasn't just a cage. It was laced with powerful magical barriers, designed to be impenetrable.
To escape, one would have to overcome both the barriers and Talvok, the general assigned to guard it.
And Talvok wasn't just any general; he was a seasoned warrior on the verge of breaking through to a C-rank.
If Alex was here then it only meant one thing:
Talvok must be dead.
Their expressions darkened as the weight of that conclusion sank in.
If this human had managed to defeat Talvok, then he was no ordinary foe.
He had to be incredibly strong, perhaps stronger than either of them individually.
