185 Shadow Legion (3)

Wadney hurried back, and Green was pleased with how he had handled himself.

Wadney had been on the outskirts of the Square, but at barely [lv1], escaping in one piece had been no small feat. Several High-Rank Apprentices had died inside the Square, each equivalent to a [lv3] Transcendent.
