Ch. 162: The Endless [5]

—Rustle!

Several figures moved swiftly from one tree branch to another. The white-haired boy led the group through the dense foliage, their faces were etched with urgency.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

A series of deafening explosions echoed in the distance.

"Tsk," Adrian clicked his tongue in annoyance, the weight of the situation pressing him. "We need to hurry." 

The group nodded in agreement and quickened their pace.

"Urk!"

A sudden cry of pain reached their ears, causing them to instinctively turn towards the source. In the distance, they saw Nathaniel colliding with a tree trunk. As they looked on, a bald man approached him, only to vanish and reappear abruptly in front of Nathaniel, his fist poised for attack.

Reacting swiftly, Adrian cast a spell and before the man's fist connected with Nathaniel, five layers of barriers materialized, enveloping him. 

—Shattered!
