Opaque reality [ 39 ]

Dragun was still searching for herbs in the dark hours past midnight when he suddenly began to hear footsteps approaching him from different directions, causing him to frown a little bit and observe his surroundings, but he spotted nothing out of the ordinary.

As he halted to look around, the footsteps ceased all of a sudden.

He also began to feel a faint trace of mana at that moment, as though some mages or monsters with really vigorous mana were surrounding him.

"This is strange," Dragun muttered to himself but kept moving forward without any sort of fear. If it was a monster or a mage, with the faint mana they were releasing, he was sure he would be able to handle them easily.

He strolled a little bit further, and the steps that had halted earlier continued once again.

This time, Dragun didn't bother to stop and continued moving forward until the footsteps around him got closer and louder.
