Chapter 41: The Strange Ruler of Light

Elora reached the battlefield, only to find puddles of water at places. It appeared as if it had rained recently as the ground was still wet. 

The water wasn't what surprised Elora. Instead, it was the body that was lying on the ground. Unlike the puddles of water in most of the places, there was only a puddle of blood around the body. 

Elora landed before the body and turned it around. Even though she already knew who it was based on the clothing, she still couldn't come to believe that this body really belonged to Ruyi. 

She gazed at the face of the body, confirming that it was indeed Ruyi. 

"She is dead." Elora grimly stated as she checked the nerves of Ruyi.

"I can sense some dark aura. And the water here means that a battle took place here, possibly with a dark mage." Joan observed the surroundings.
