534 The Torrent Squad

Denise was oblivious to Eustace's reaction. Her attention was fully absorbed by her team's mission: capturing the culprit responsible for sowing fear throughout the city. 

While the victims were not being killed, they were left in a debilitated state, requiring costly Arcanist's Potions for recovery. These potent remedies were beyond the means of most ordinary citizens, and without prompt treatment, the victims faced the grim prospect of enduring permanent disabilities or even dying in the end.

Whoosh~

As the Torrent Squad burst into the inn, they quickly realized they were too late; another victim had fallen prey to the malevolent entity. 

To their astonishment, according to the maid, the victim turned out to be an Arcanist from the Rune Arts Faction, a fact they easily confirmed after checking his belongings.
