His gaze headed toward the peak of the mountain.
He smelled it from the area that was covered in white snow.

It was an odd scent he had never smelled before that was different than the assassins.
He was certain that it was the Illusionist.
If not, it was probably at least the bastard who planned this whole thing.

�Follow me. We are charging past them.�

Bud kicked off the ground. He was moving in the front. The assassins charged toward him at the same time.
The Elves took out their weapons as well and their Elementals moved with them.
Bud shouted toward the Elf next to him.

�Please launch a signal in the sky immediately! Also-�

Launch a signal for Glenn who was at the bottom of the mountain to see.

In addition�
Bud hesitated before finishing his sentence.

�We need to let Cale Henituse know about the current situation.�

His gaze headed to the mountain�s peak that was completely white.

�Hmm� It was broken earlier than I expected.�

At the mountain peak�
The individual who sat down on the snow-covered ground repeatedly threw something in his hand in the air and caught it as he looked down the mountain.

�Should I inform the liege?�

Plop. Plop.

The thing in his hand that he was throwing and catching like a toy was a black heart.
It was a heart that was as black as dead mana.

��Mm. Probably? We�ve already gathered all the seeds with those who have not been chosen by the gods.�

A thick smile appeared on the boy�s face.

Plop. Plop.

The black heart was still in the boy�s hand as if it was a toy.
