Chapter417-Concurrent Investigations
While John's battle with Mystery Incarnate was ongoing, Darklord had successfully returned to the main city, Storm City.
He was in a dire state, requiring considerable time and many supplies to recover fully.
His primary objective for visiting the Naga Tribe – to find an item that could suppress the contamination of the Mystery power – remained unfulfilled.
His encounter with John not only interrupted his mission but also intensified the Mystery power's corruption.
"John is a curse! He always disrupts my plans!"
Darklord lamented upon reaching the safety of his guild.
Now that he was back, he had the opportunity to reflect on the recent events.
One question, in particular, puzzled him: How had John managed to find him near the Naga Tribe?
It seemed evident that John's sole purpose in going there was to track him down, but Darklord couldn't fathom how John could have known about his movements.
