Chapter 190: The Road to Uvar

They moved toward Uvar at a speed that Snowcloud and Zehava could only barely maintain, but Arran found himself holding back as he ran. His physical strength now far exceeded that of the novices, and he suspected he would have little difficulty outrunning Rockblaze if needed.

That left him with plenty of time to think, and his thoughts soon wandered to the battle against the adepts.

While the fight had lasted only moments, it brought Arran two things that bolstered his confidence for the journey ahead.

The first of these was the familiar surge of power he felt when the novices and recruits died.
