Chapter 271 The Cruse

• THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
• “Silas, something is happening in the clearing of the Blackpine Forest!” Theo rushed into the ruins, panic clear in his voice. He had been watching the forest from a distance, but the moment he entered the ruins, he could no longer feel Silas’ presence anywhere. “He had been going crazy after meeting with Aran and studying the bloodline curtain like an obsessed beast. Now, where did he go?”
• Unbeknownst to Theo, Silas was already deep within the ruins of the once-proud Lupine Academy, now reduced to little more than debris. The bloodline curtain was tightly clutched in his fists, his grip nearly bruising the material as he strained to understand its secrets. No matter how hard he tried to peer through the bloodline, the dark energy curling around it was causing excruciating pain, injuring his inner powers. His body was failing him, his energy dangerously low, and yet he couldn’t stop. He had to find out.
