Chapter 685 Leaving the Presses of Aldoria City


    ??A few dozen minutester, Vicente and his group reunited as they left Aldoria City together.


    "What happened?" Rory was the first to ask, imagining that something rted to the surreal phenomenon of moments before was behind his friend''s warning.


    A few minutes ago, the entire city had been shrouded in darkness, and even the magicians of the Light Path felt oppressed as if they were in the presence of a being of superior purity.


    What''s more, such a being seemed to have the power of a Paragon!


    They were all terrified by this aura and only left the ces where they were because of Vicente''s orders. But while they had moved, even after the aura appeared, all of the city''s Sovereigns were hiding in their houses or shops.


    Those below the 4th stage were passed out all over the city, which certainly made it easier for them to leave.


    Vicente said, hiding what he had just done. "I''m not sure. I saw Miss Death and her group a few moments ago. They seemed to have run into someone... As soon as I noticed the problem, I sent them this warning.


    I don''t know what''s going on, but we''d better go."


    "Miss Death?" Lina asked, surprised that this woman was so far south of the continent. "I wonder why she''s here? Her sect is in the north, and considering the current moment, she should be in seclusion in her sect."


    "That is indeed strange," Lamented. "And considering her power, she''d be very useful to stop monsters that might attack her sect... What Nis'' Shadow is up to?"


    Vicente heard this and realized how strange the situation was. He hadn''t thought about it before because he was worried about stopping Miss Death. But when he thought about it, it was really strange.


    ''Those girls are right. It''s not normal for someone like her to be in this area. This woman has the potential to be a Paragon and one of the great bastions of magical society in no time.''


    As much as the south is generally safer for lesser magicians, that''s not the case for someone from a Dark Path sect, master. The Dark Path magicians are especially powerful against monsters. With the right barriers, not even a 6th-stage vampire would be able to infiltrate a sect from our path.


    That''s why the best ce for Miss Death would be her headquarters.''


    ''She''s probably on some kind of mission... But I''m afraid it''s not to fight the monsters.''


    Vicente thought about it andmented. "She could be taking care of Nis'' Shadow business in the midst of the crisis. The damned sect could be going after past problems while the whole continent is weakened."


    "I hope that''s not the case... What if she goes after Nina?" Rory worried.


    "Impossible. And if she is, there''s a Paragon in Grandis. She might have bigger problems than she thinks she can handle." Vicentemented confidently that such a man wouldn''t let Nina be taken by someone like Miss Death.


    "Is that true?" Casey asked in surprise.


    Lina saw that Vicente knew about the person in charge of the king''s security, seeing the rtionship between her father and this guy went deeper than she knew.


    "Let''s not worry about it. I think Miss Death and her group have bigger problems to worry about." Vicentemented. "Did you manage to sell and buy some of the resources we talked about earlier?"


    "I managed to sell everything we had. But I only bought half of what we could have bought." Rory said.


    Caseymented. "I managed to sell everything we had and get all the items we were interested in. As much as some of the vendors went into hiding after thest aura, I took the liberty of breaking into a few stores and grabbing what we needed."


    Rory looked at the man with the long ck hair. "You..."


    "No." Casey smiled. "I took what we needed and left coins instead of those items. The owners of those establishments didn''t lose anything."


    "Good," Vicentemented. "That''s enough for now. But we''ll stop at thest city on our way before we leave the Kingdom of Aldoria. We''ll buy what we need there.


    Then, we''ll cross the border into the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. By then, we''ll be very close to the area where you can hunt your pentagram, Casey."


    "I''m looking forward to it."


    The group was soon far from Aldoria City, while the people in the city were still mostly unconscious.


    Only those Sovereigns against whom Vicente hadn''t acted earlier were conscious in this metropolis. But even though they were the only ones conscious, none of them wanted to leave their ces, too afraid to risk it after the terrifying aura from earlier.


    Meanwhile, Lauren and her group were still unconscious in the ce where Vicente had acted against them.


    In the midst of this, the blind woman was having nightmares, something she hadn''t had for several years.


    Perhaps because she had encountered a form of darkness greater than her own, something in her changed at that moment, making her remember certain traumatic events.


    ''Mother!''


    ...


    As Vicente and his group traveled north, the first two months of The Purification passed.


    While most of the continent remained in the dark about what was happening in the north, Damien Bloodthorne, the leader of Demonix, continued his murderous mission across the continent.


    After reaching the 6th stage by sacrificing the elders of his tribe, the strongest vampire in the Pris Realm did what he had nned for millennia.


    Having fought some of the strongest magicians in the Magicians'' Alliance and visited every vampire n in the Ivory Desert, the Archmage was now on the hunt.


    His goal? All the Archmages of the continent''s magiciansmunity!


    Once he had wiped out all these 6th-stage magicians, he would go after the Paragons. They were the only ones who could stand in his way, so he had just begun this hunt.


    But Damien was in a very good mood. The day the continent''s coalition of experts had attacked him weeks ago, he had already killed arge number of the continent''s Paragons and Archmages!


    But today, he was going after a special enemy!


    Upon arriving in the Vinia Empire, this pale-skinned, red-eyed creature opened his mouth and licked his lips.


    "City of Angels, here Ie." He made his way to the headquarters of the Congregation of Revtions, eager to taste blood and collect some of the magical essence of the strongest beings in that organization so that his n could be even stronger!


    Thus began what woulde to be known as the Profane Twilight, the beginning of a time of terror for the continent!
