Chapter 239 - Now A Stranger

A couple of stairs down and a guard ran up to Eli, delivering a message about a Witch's attack on Nakunriver.

"She set everywhere ablaze!" The guard had declared breathlessly. "Almost killed the Village Heads!"

The message had put Eli on edge a little and Belladonna had expected to take an excuse to attend to the report, believing that he would assume it was the One with the White Aura as he always did.

Belladonna was in for a surprise though.

Eli had dismissed the guard with an errand instead, waving aside the report as if it was nothing.

That was strange.

It was also strange that the message had gotten to Eli so quickly, he must have gone ahead with his plan of putting his messengers in each village.

An unsettling feeling ran through Belladonna's veins.

As if she didn't have enough on her mind about the Blood Moon and how the timing might not be in her favour, this strange attitude just had to add to it.

Where was Eli leading her to next?

This didn't feel good.
