Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1884  Fakes

Ryu suddenly realized that there was something wrong. The longer he looked at the Shrine, the more that he felt that there was something… off about it. The aura had seemed identical at the start, but as he looked deeper, the changes became more obvious to him. It was like looking at the same word written in a different font.

It can\'t be that they didn\'t know… At the very least, Adlael was a member of the True Martial World, and for him to appear here when travel between worlds should be basically impossible, it meant that someone had to have brought him…
