Chapter 311: Perfect Timing
Rosalind narrowed her eyes at the chaos in front of her. She stood from the distant hilltop, observing the war between the humans and the beasts. The two sides were locked in a fierce struggle for dominance.
The massive beasts that towered over the humans moved with primal grace as they charged toward their foes. However, the humans, who were smaller and looked so fragile from afar, were doing their best to fend off the onslaught.
"I can feel it," Rosalind said. "It is in that corner," she pointed to one of the barracks. She was surprised to feel a lot of the relics. When she was in Wugari, she could not feel it, and the reason why she knew its location was because of the memories that she took from Clinton.
Now, however, she could easily feel the thick presence of darkness that surrounded the relic. It was simply too obvious.
"Got it," Elias immediately nodded and used his now enhanced speed to go to the area where she pointed.
"There is another one there," Rosalind said. This time, it was Valentin who used his speed to take it. The overwhelming atmosphere that was created by these relics was simply too much. Even Rosie could not help but wonder what Ena Thun was planning.
Why would she suddenly add so many relics to the point that Rosalind could feel it already! Was Ena planning to destroy Rakha in one night?
That is absurd!
Was it because Lucas was currently in the capital?
Perhaps she thought that this was the best way to showcase her heroic acts?
Again, she looked at the current confrontation between the humans and the beasts. The battle was fought on a wide, open plain, with no cover or shelter on the ether side. This was a test of raw strength. Naturally, the beasts were far stronger than the humans. However, the humans had the Duke of Wugari.
From the chaos, Rosalind spotted two people whose prowess was already showing, Huig and Magda. The two were wearing different faces to hide their identities, however, it was already pretty obvious that they were really good at fighting.
Despite the relentless barrage of beasts, Huig and Magda held on. With the enhancements that Rosalind gave them, she was pretty confident that the two would survive this night unscathed.
"There is another one there," Rosalind pointed at the area where the Prince was standing. Luckily, Lachlan Blaize was no longer there. He had joined the fight along with General Darian. Right now, there was only Prince Lyssander and his aid. "Be careful. Do not attract more attention," Rosalind said as she accepted the relic that had been carefully wrapped in a piece of clothing that Lucas provided. Then she put it inside her spatial bag. Almost immediately, the pressure that the relic gave off was cut off.
Rosalind took a breath.
Since she was not the one who took the relics in Wugari, she did not know how heavy it was she meant physically. The relics looked like small stones, not bigger than five inches. They had ragged textures and no other identifying marks. Aside from the fact that they were black, they totally looked like normal rocks that one could see anywhere.
However, only Rosalind knew how heavy they actually were.
Elias and Valentin despite being Blessed did not think that they were heavy at all. In the end, Rosalind concluded that this was simply because she is the only one who could detect them. That was the only reason she could think of.
"Another one" Rosalind pointed in another direction.
"How many left?" Valentin asked.
"Four more" Rosalind said. Wugari only had three and it was already enough to cause so many problems, even for the Duke. They were placed in very ordinary locations. Not many people would even think that there was something special about those rocks when they saw them.
Meanwhile, Rakha had eight! How could Rakha survive that in a single night?
"Got it," Valentin said before using his speed to get the relic.
Meanwhile, Rosalind took this opportunity to watch the fight. By now, the people had noticed Magda and Huig's superiority against the beast. Even the Prince of Rakha seemed surprised to see them fight. However, Rosalind was not looking at them anymore. She was looking at Lachlan Blaize.
The man was fighting while laughing his heart out.
Rosalind could not help but be reminded of Elias. They had the same red hair, the same build. However, Lachlan's use of his fire Blessing was simply too precise. He is using it as a sword, using it to easily cut the beasts in half.
"The other one is. Right there!" Rosalind pointed at another area to Elias so he could retrieve another relic. Then Rosalind looked at Prince Lyssander. She could sense another relic near the prince but she could not point out its direct location.
The relic should be smaller than the rest.
Since Elias and Valentin already took care of the relics, the heavy atmosphere that she could feel also lessened. Meaning, her ability to sense the others had also lessened.
This would have been a problem if Rosalind could not remember their locations earlier. However, she already took some notes. She knew where they were. Although, she still needed to move nearer to the location just to confirm.
"Near the prince," Rosalind said as she teleported herself a few feet away. Just as she was about to approach the prince, a soldier suddenly ran towards the man and whispered something. Rosalind frowned. Was the prince leaving? Was he going to leave his people behind?
If that is the case then Rosalind did not see any point in removing the relic near him. She did not see the point of saving someone who was willing to abandon his people just to protect himself.
However, the prince shook his head and then continued watching the fight.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The Duke of Wugari is here! Duke Rothley is here with his people!" A loud shout interrupted Rosalind's stupor. She could not help but smile, anticipation laced her gaze.
Lucas's timing was just perfect.
