Boom—
The sound collided with the mountain peak, echoed back, and lingered for a long time.
In the forest, the clear sound of bells paused slightly.
A cluster of bushes was pushed aside, and a large black dog leaped out first, shook its fur, then looked towards the bushes.
The bell sound resumed, and a young boy emerged from the bushes, looking in the direction from which the sound came.
"Master, it seems someone is fighting."
The rustling of the bushes, a white figure leaped out of them, the embroidery on the hem of the clothing glowing faintly in the dark, outlining the distinct patterns—holy and pure.
Slender fingers like bamboo shoots parted the bushes, and the man walked out slowly.
"Dark Element." the man murmured softly.
"Huh?" The boy seemed as though he had heard wrong, looking towards the white figure, "Dark Element? Is it here too?"
"Let's go take a look." the man's voice flowed calmly like the clearest spring water in the mountains.
