The Next Day.
Mavelard City.
Through a party message, Leon told Ethan to meet him outside the city's north gate. There, Leon explained that a teleportation crystal was usually used to travel to the Tower area.
That made Ethan leave his inn room with all the gear he had prepared. He didn't carry his swords in hand, since holding either Bloodblade Ashura or Tempest Reaver would automatically activate Ashura Mode or Tempest Mode.
Along the way, Ethan noticed that fewer players in the city were giving him hostile looks. Only a few still did.
It seemed most no longer cared about him. As long as Ethan didn't cause trouble, they wouldn't mind his presence. Still, they didn't forgive his past crimes either.
From a distance, he saw the northern gate of the city, busy with trade and people coming and going.
Right as Ethan left Mavelard, he summoned his black mask and put it on. It made his face completely unrecognizable.
