When Yukata returned, he found his location to be largely unrecognizable. Part of the tunnel had collapsed and parts had turned into shining black stone of cooled, melted wall.
The blind guy sat where the camp used to be, frowning down at legs that seemed broken.
Lady Maraget was standing nearby with a scowl on her face.
"What happened here?!" Yukata's eyes widened as he looked around. "I was only gone for about an hour!"
He knew there was a suspicion that someone was following them, but was that the cause of the big battlefield that looked as if dozens of Magus had trampled through?
Lady Maraget explained what happened, and by the time she finished, Yukata was pale and trembling. He was glad that he wasn't there when things went down.
"Do you know anything about those guys?" The blind guy studied his reaction with great interest as he asked.
