Not far from the Volcaria Estate, in a dimly lit restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner of the district, a man sat alone at a corner table.
His presence was thin, as he was not ordinary. This man was Zerath, a 6-Star Tamer and one of the higher-ups in the mysterious group.
He was wearing a dark cloak that hidden most of his features. He appeared to be nothing more than a traveler passing through.
As he ate in silence, his brows furrowed deeply. The special device he carried still remained silent. It didn't sense the materials at all.
Zerath gripped his fork tightly as he was frustated when recalling his fruitless search. "Damn it. Just where the hell is it?"
He had entered Astra Academy quietly. His mission had been simple: find and recover the Red Dragon Blood Essence.
Yet, despite his efforts, the artifact hadn't picked up a single trace of it. "I even went to that elder house to check if he had it or not."
