"Hmm?"
Verc was just resting in his room after training non-stop when he suddenly felt something.
The heavy exhaustion in his muscles seemed to vanish in an instant as a strange, distinct sensation pulsed through his mind. It wasn't a physical sound or a sight, but a connection deep inside him approaching.
And to his surprise—he can tell that the connection was from outside the forest, at the entrance!
He can feel it even though it was far away.
The sheer distance between the castle in the center of the woods and the outer boundaries of the territory was massive, yet the bond cut through the magical density of the trees without any effort at all.
'Tatum?'
Verc immediately thought of him when he felt that. The signature of the mana was unmistakable.
Tatum is one of the five individuals that drank his blood, and from those who drank his blood—Verc can feel a connection from them.
