Bab 261: Recognition

It was at that moment that earth beneath them shook.

Caught off-guard, Lucien's stance shifted, causing his descending sword to lose its accuracy.

Lucien frowned, wanting to adjust for this odd change, but the earth shook again.

Suddenly, a shocking change occurred.

The earth shot up from the ground. In an instant, it loomed over a hundred meters and was still steadily growing.

"Who?!" Lucien roared in anger.

He, Annbar and Vygil shot backward. It wasn't because this attack threatened them, but rather because they couldn't find the enemy. For an enemy to sneak up on them like this, they couldn't help but be cautious.

Soon, the wall of earth cast a shadow over the earth. It was so high that Lucien could no longer see Ryu's body from their vantage point. But he was absolutely certain that the earth had risen beneath Ryu. Meaning, Ryu wasn't on the other side of this wall, but was rather at the very top of it!
