Chapter 149 The Black Veil Ii

• Larog stumbled into the dilapidated building that Audrey was using as her hideout, the creaking door echoing through the dimly lit chamber like a death knell. Shadows danced on the walls, cast by flickering candles that seemed to tremble in the silence. His ragged breaths misted in the chilly air, and his battered body left a trail of bloodstains on the stone floor. He had journeyed through the midst of the raging war frantically all in the name of trying to escape the veil.
• "Audrey... the black veil," he gasped, his voice cracking like brittle twigs. "It was on King Ares' corpse. I saw it myself." His words were almost incoherent, heavily tainted with fear. "The black veil has returned!" He cried out, pushing the door of the room he knew she would be in. "We have to do something or it will come after us."
• "Slow down," she sighed, walking towards him. She placed a hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat was very abnormal. "You need to calm down Larog she whispered soothingly."
