The moment the array began glowing, Raphael instantly teleported from there, and Hugo bolted towards the path leading to their camp.
A second later, Vlad realised why the two had suddenly made a run for their lives and why exactly Alisha and Seraphina were wearing masks.
A revolting stench suddenly erupted from the orc corpses, spreading in every direction. Vlad barely held himself back from puking out his breakfast, his hand flying to his face.
He didn't waste more than a second there, bolting away as fast as he could. Before long, he reached Hugo's side and muttered in a muffled voice, holding his breath, "You could have warned me."
"The spell they are using will spread the scent of orcs blood in every direction," Hugo explained with a smug smile, holding his breath as well. "It's just that it smells worse than rotten corpses."
The reason he hadn't warned him was because he wanted Vlad to experience this stench as well.
