The Mysterious Pursuers

As the bus driver refilled the tank at the rural gas station, Dante sensed a surge of umbra coming towards them from the highway.

Not wanting to scare the middle-aged driver, the warlock said that he would buy a bottle of water at the gas station's shop, which the driver thought was strange since they had all sorts of refreshments inside the bus.

However, instead of walking to the store, Dante walked around the bus to stay away from the driver's point of view and rushed to the street without being spotted.

The highway was a double-sided road, so the warlock knew that their pursuers would have to drive through one lane, making him stand in the middle.

He felt a bit glad seeing that he had a rocky wall on one side and a pine forest on the other, and as the distant flow of umbra got closer, he was able to detail the small car traveling towards him.

'All that umbra in that little car…?' Dante pondered.
