The blacksmith's roar exploded like thunder in the field.
His muscular, robust body trembled due to the intense emotions within him, hatred and resistance almost solidifying in his eyes.
The wealthy, round-faced man before him seemed less like a stranger quarreling over inquiries and more like a long-time foe.
What was even stranger is.
Despite the situation escalating, the spectators who had been silent since the beginning remained motionless.
No familiar faces stepped forward to calm the blacksmith, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control; nor did any bystanders leave the scene out of a fear of being affected.
The atmosphere changed quietly.
If previously the viewers could be described as "apathetic onlookers," the cold atmosphere now creeping through the crowd had surpassed mere "spectators."
Their gazes became sharp, bodies slightly leaning forward, displaying aggressive postures, as if an invisible resonance was spreading among them.
