The Strange [Mechid], An Enemy Created in Attempt to Counter Mark and His Group

Day 251 - 1:32 PM - Unnamed Mountain, Municipality of Viga, Province of Catanduanes

Immediately after receiving the message, Mark and Deriellio headed back to the village. Because of Deriellio, the travel that would take a few minutes only needed a few seconds.

Mark found the situation to be very odd. Although the attack was too sudden, why would Diwata Iraya need to call for him? It was not the first time, and although casualties were not surprising, the residents of the village had managed to thwart any dangers so far.

And given the usual attitude of the magical creatures, it would be uncanny for them to rely on outsiders to protect their own turf unless it was unnecessary.

However, instead of finding Diwata Iraya waiting for Mark, he found Mei and the members of his group waiting for him, along with Aliya and Gennie.

"What's going on? Where's Iraya?"

Mark asked his ancestor.
