An overwhelming pressure blanketed the entire hill in an instant.
This time, every human present instinctively looked up.
High above them, a figure floated in the sky, radiating an aura so divine it was as if a god had descended—ready to pass judgment upon sinners.
But he wasn't alone. Two other figures stood beside him, both radiating a presence that could rival his own. Still, there was no mistaking it—he was clearly their leader.
His golden hair swayed gently in the breeze, framing sharp eyes that seemed to slice straight through the forest below. Even from a distance, everyone could feel it—his gaze was predatory, like a lion poised to strike.
He swept his eyes across the entire hill in less than a heartbeat. A faint frown tugged at his lips. Whoever he was searching for wasn't there.
The two at his side exchanged glances. They found it strange as well.
