Foolish Dream

As soon as Atticus and the rest of the trainees heard that voice, their hearts clenched in fear.

Couldn't they just catch a break? They were almost at the caves!

Atticus gritted his teeth and fought the aura that was locking down his body, but the best he could do was simply move his head upwards to gaze at the enemy. What he saw made his heart tighten in horror.

Before him stood a one-handed behemoth of alarming proportions, an imposing giant standing at a towering height of 15 meters.

Atticus immediately recognized Alvis, the one who was supposed to be fighting Rowan. Despite Alvis being weakened, Atticus could feel the overwhelming aura he exuded.

It was so powerful that even with his earlier boost in power during his fight with Astrion, Atticus knew he couldn't win if they fought.

It was then that Atticus's mind registered the implications of Alvis's presence here. 'Did Rowan lose?' he thought in horror.
