532 The City's Problem

Marcus Bramer, a middle-aged man with a lean physique and long brown hair, had been on the trail of the Crimson Imp, which had been spotted in a neighboring city. The 10th squad of the Order of the Prime Wiseman, to which he belonged, suspected that the creature had fled to a nearby city or town. 

Being a new member of the squad, Marcus felt the task was challenging as his expertise lay in creating defensive Rune Arts rather than in tracking elusive beings like the Crimson Imp.

Upon entering the next city on his search, Marcus witnessed an unexpected event: two heavenly lightning bolts struck the other side of the city, clearly not a natural occurrence. Intrigued, he followed a group of Arcanists who were converging on the scene.

He realized that these people were actually hoping to seize whatever opportunity the cause of the lightning might present.
