Two days passed, and Alaric rallied almost fifty swordsmen, and they headed towards the magical beast domain, following a route familiar to Austin, to the inheritance ground !!! He agilely jumped on the trees, following them two kilometres behind, looking for a window of opportunity to finally massacre them one by one, as one versus fifty against a schemer like Alaric could as well be suicide, but that window never came, as they accompanied each other like ants, slaying magical beasts who dared intrude on their procession.

The grass blades did not sway, but stood still, and you could tell that they weren't natural. He probed the
