Chapter 305: Again, Mage Tower (3) (Teaser)
The terror of Haileich continued systematically as the demonic energy that first exploded caused chaos, prompting nobles and the rich to escape, clutching the skirts of their dresses or flinging aside their suit jackets.
Knights who responded without delay assisted in evacuating the nobles and the wealthy. Haileich was the Empire’s largest prosperous district, so deaths there caused greater social pressure than the massacre of commoners in the slums.
