Clang! Clang! Clang!
'What? Is there a battle going on?'
Vale was startled when he heard the sound of clashing swords ahead of him. He immediately entered his Phantasm State and used his Extrasensory Perception Spell to weaken his presence. He then found a place to hide quickly.
Bang! Bang!
A couple of gunshots followed as he realized that this battle seemed to involve some officials. After all, only police officers or those in the army would have firearms.
The country has strict control over firearms. It would be extremely rare for bandits or even normal criminals to possess some firearms, unless they were like the Snake Brotherhood which had ties with corrupt officials.
It had already been a week since the incident in the Enchanted Forest, and Vale had already visited a couple of cities or a total of 6 morgues.
