Chapter 84 - On their trail

Meanwhile, back at the battle site, on the blood-soaked road winding through this dense taiga forest, more than fifty corpses lay scattered about, and the air still hummed with the powers released during the recent fighting.

Five people, three men and two women, emerged from the underbrush and looked around. They wore strange clothes that looked like extremely elastic body suits, fitted with various straps and bands while covering only the chest and upper thigh areas.

Both the men and women wore essentially the same things.

As they inspected the bloody scene, none had disgusted looks on their faces, as they appeared curious instead.

The tallest among them was built like a bear, with wide arms and legs and a barrel chest to match. In general, he looked ready to snap some trees in half. His hair was long, ginger, and wild, as was his beard, which had been done up with Viking braids.
