Chapter 665: Cardinal Benedictus
Charles traveled through dense ancient woods, encountering more than five Rank-5 shadow beasts along the way. Finally, he emerged into a plain area. The complete darkness initially disoriented him, but with the help of Caspian's memories, he found his way to the correct destination and saw a distant bright light.
While standing more than two kilometers away, a large ruined fortress-like building loomed before him. It was adorned with hundreds of fire torches, casting an eerie glow. Additionally, four large magical lights were strategically placed on the fortress's four corners, bathing the surroundings in a bright yellowish light.
