Outside the domain, the entire forest and road had been flooded with dark mist, eating away at the trees and any other living organisms it came in contact with.
The people who were standing close to the domain were the ones most likely to die if a single whiff of the mist entered their noses or touched their skin.
As such, they were hidden inside the barrier Seraphina had created to keep them safe.
As for the Aurelian barony, which was the final place the mist reached before coming to a still, many of the citizens had already evacuated.
Some of them stood atop a cliff where they could see their land and houses completely buried under the dark, poisonous mist.
Meanwhile, Ishtar had been working to expand the barrier as much as she could.
As time passed, she slowly understood how her new powers worked after entering the Lord Rank.
