Chapter 418
“Hmph.”
Stepping into the open space, Ekalim let out a low hum as he continued walking, only stopping once he reached the center of the clearing where Myeonghu stood.
Thud
Ekalim stopped, thrusting the greatsword he held into the ground. He then sat down beside it and looked around. Seeing Ekalim’s expression, Myeonghu thought.
‘Is he waiting for someone?’
Judging by Ekalim’s current expression and demeanor, he seemed to be waiting for someone. And shortly after, Myeonghu realized his guess was correct.
“You’re here.”
Ekalim, who had been sitting and surveying the area, murmured as he rose from his spot. As if waiting for that signal, several figures began appearing from the opposite direction of where Ekalim had emerged.
‘Huh? Those guys…’
The figures newly appearing in the clearing, like Ekalim, were people Myeonghu knew well.
‘Ekalik, Atakshah, Hiragos, Elgab…’
Ekalik, who guarded the first pillar; Atakshah, who guarded the second pillar; Hiragos, who guarded the third pillar; Elgab, who guarded the fourth pillar. These four had appeared in the clearing.
“What? You’re here? I thought you’d be the last to arrive.”
“I never imagined you’d be here.”
“The fact you’re here first means Ekalim was a little nervous too.”
“Ekalim! I’m here!”
The four who appeared in the clearing approached Ekalim and spoke one after another. After they finished, Ekalim chuckled.
