They were still some distance away from the rocky mountain, yet Roxanna could already hear the wolves howling in the distance. She lifted her head and saw the full moon hanging high in the sky.
Based on Zeir's explanation, she knew that demon wolves grew much stronger during a full moon. For Calen to lose his mind at a time like this… it was truly the worst possible timing.
[This is my fault…] Roxanna spoke in her mind. She sighed inwardly and didn't say much as they headed toward the rocky mountain.
[No, wait, THIS IS THE SYSTEM'S FAULT!] Roxanna widened her eyes when she realized it. [If the system hadn't asked me to secretly release their crystal seals, Calen wouldn't have suddenly lost his mind!]
Zeir and Azul silently glanced at each other. They couldn't hear the voice that had been speaking to Roxanna all this time, but they knew she called it "the system."
