"Fuck, I nearly had a heart attack," I said, heaving a sigh of relief with my whole body wet with sweat.
"The second Earth Sovereign monster," he said.
There is not a drop of sweat on his brow. He seemed to be worried about Earth Sovereign but does not fear them.
He likely has something to use against them. Well, I don't, and I have to be careful not to get discovered by them. They could kill me with the flick of their finger while I watch powerlessly.
A few seconds later, we started moving against, taking twists and turns depending on the dangers ahead.
"You didn't tell me much about mist valley and the place we have to go there?" I asked. Till now, I have refrained from asking this question, but seeing we will enter there in a few hours, it is the right time to ask it.
I have information of my own, which I have got from the Grimms, but I want to know more.
"I have a map and some information, but it is old," he said and threw a blue crystal at me.
I verified it and throw it into my storage; in there, my clone begins to study the information. The more it looked, the more surprised I would become, as it was surprisingly detailed.
More than all the information I have got from the Grimms, which is supposed to be the latest one.
The information also made my expressions turn somber. I know it is going to be dangerous and reading it; I have become even more sure, but there is no choice but to enter it.
I need an exit that will not send me back to the clutches of the organization, and only he could provide that to me.
I have had my doubts before, but now, I am pretty sure he knows the exits. He might not know hundreds, as he claimed to be, but he is at least aware of a few.
A few more hours passed, and we had come across another Earth Sovereign monster, but thankfully, it didn't discover it.
Now, we are very close to our destination, the mist valley, which is only about an hour away. I had seen the valley, and it is unlike anything I had seen before; It is majestic as well as dangerous.
And people are going there like crazy; all for the fortune. That awaits there.
Monsters thinned near the mist valley as our travel there was smooth. We didn't stop, even for a second, until we reach the edge and come face to face with the mist valley.
"Wow," I said.
What I saw through Nero's eyes does not do justice to what I am seeing right now.
There is a thick, multicolored mist in front of me, felt even thicker than the foam itself. I felt like I could take it in its hand, but I couldn't. Many tried; the mist simply goes back to its place.
It is covering the vast area in its domain, which is bigger than the area the mist is covering.
The space seemed to have expanded inside from what the information had said.
"Its impressive, isn't it?" I asked Ragas, who looked at me expressionlessly. "It is fine," he replied blandly. There is not a hint of wonder in his eyes; maybe the place he came from. It is nothing special.
"We should enter," he said, after a minute. "Ok," I replied and sighed.
A moment later, moved toward it, and a few seconds later, we could touch it with our hands.
I did as I walked toward it. To my surprise, I felt a heavy suppression that wants to crush my soul. It froze me for a moment before I realized it is only feeling; the effects couldn't be felt by only entering inside.
A second later, I took the step inside and found myself covered in mist, but I kept walking and several seconds later, I came out.
Gasp!
The first thing that came out of my mouth when I reached the other side was a gasp of shock, and then tears.
The sheer beauty of this place made my eyes watered.
Everywhere I see is the mist, light, colorful mist, bathing in beautiful sunlight. There are hills, trees, and even mountains in the distance, along with a few things I couldn't name, and all of felt it felt like a wonderland.
Seeing such amazing scenery, I felt a blessing. I didn't mind; the suppression weighing down on me, which had effectively reduced 30% of my strength and caged my soul sense to less than fifty meters.
Here I could see everything clearly, but my soul sense is a small distance.
I am still much better compared to most people; I have forbidden power merged into the very cell of me and that had increased even more after the treatments, reducing the effects of suppression, to quite a degree.
It is not just that I am also feeling extraordinary pressure in my mind. It does not affect anything, but damn annoying.
It felt like I was in the presence of a very powerful. It does not have a feeling of harm toward me, but it has a powerful effect on me, with its presence alone.
This would frustrate many people, not only this heavy feeling but also the suppression. Especially of the soul sense, which people most depend on; it is like making them blind.
"What is your soul range?" asked Ragas from behind; I turned and gave him the look. I am not going to tell him that.
"What is our destination?" I asked back instead. He waved his hand and a large map appeared in front of us.
"This," he pointed at the place, and my expression turned serious. "It is at the center," I said, and he nodded. "I hope you really remember your promise," I said with a hint of warning.
He smiled and threw a glass bottle at me.
"Think of it as the advance," he said. I caught the bottle, and seeing it being safe, sent it to my core.
He had given me all the water he had taken from the lake, and I was grateful for it. I am experimenting with it and now, all the results show that it will be tremendously useful to me.
If the experiment succeeded, I would use it in the treatments.
"Thank you," I said and took a step forward.
My clone had opened the map and already devised the quickest way to reach the destination. Though it will not be easy, with Nero, we will face much fewer dangers compared to others.
As usual, his abilities have been barely affected; from what he told me. His soul sense only had a 9% reduction of range and his power 11%, which is nothing compared to me.
My range of soul sense had reduced by 90%, and I am sure others have been affected even further.
andasnovel.com This advantage of Nero will be tremendously useful to us here.
Still, we have to be careful. This place may look like a wonderland, but it is filled with thorns at every step.
