My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2656

Cayden was trembling with fear. "L-Let’s just run away!"

Dwight, however, shook his head and said, "No, something’s wrong in the back area of the mountain. Master Calcraft and the others could be in danger."

Cayden, however, was getting cold feet. "T-They’re really strong people, so they’ll probably be fine, right?"

Dwight said seriously, "No! We can’t just pretend nothing happened. Here’s the plan—I’ll go look for the grandmaster and the others, you two stay here and wait."

With that, Dwight started to take off but Cayden quickly followed after him. "No way, I’m scared!"

With no other option, Dwight turned to Wrendell. "Wrendell, what do you think?"

Wrendell thought for a moment before saying, "Take Cayden with you. I’ll stay here and keep watch."

Dwight nodded. After telling him to be careful, he and Cayden hurried toward the inner courtyard.

There was quite a distance between the back area of the mountain and the front courtyard, and the path was steep. It would take some time before the two returned.

Wrendell looked toward the entrance of the back area of the mountain, where the eerie wind still blew.

Moreover, the wind seemed to be getting closer to Wrendell. Panicking, he quickly started making his way toward the front courtyard too. Suddenly, the winds' pull intensified again.

Although Wrendell was safe for the moment, Scathach was being pulled in by the secret realm. Wrendell quickly rushed forward, trying to pull Scathach back into his body. However, it was futile.

Despite pulling her back into him, she was immediately dragged out again by the powerful force.

Nash continued to survey his surroundings, but aside from the dense trees, there was nothing else in sight. With no clear direction, he started wandering aimlessly through the forest.

Just then, a little girl suddenly appeared before them. Nash could sense the aura on her. "Are you the Sky Reflector Mirror?" he asked.

The girl simply smiled before shattering into pieces and vanishing into thin air. Her voice, however, lingered in the air and echoed through the trees. "Come play with me."

Nash remained on guard, carefully scanning the surroundings. He wondered what the mirror meant by 'play'. He knew that all six weapons possessed some form of consciousness, so this might be a test of some sort.

As he pondered, several small, winged creatures suddenly emerged from the forest. Nash quickly deployed his magic array, which instantly tore apart any of the creatures that entered it. He was well aware that this was just the beginning.

Sure enough, more strange and bizarre beings gradually emerged from the depths of the forest.
