235 Sudden News (1/2)

Wallace was having a bad feeling in their current situation. He wasn't sure why but he can feel that danger was approaching them.

He didn't keep it with himself and mentioned it to Yumi and the others.

”Mhmm... I'm having that same feeling...”

Yumi said while still keeping their running pace.

Hannah didn't say a word but she nodded at this while Clint and Elaine seem to be extending their sense to detect any approaching dangers.

”What do you suggest?”

Yumi asked Wallace since he was the one who mentioned this.

”I'll be in front... We'll only need to follow this direction, right?”

”Ho~ Sure... Take the lead...”

If he was in front, he was confident that he can survive or escape any monster threats coming at him.

”It's only natural that you'll feel some dangers around here... After all, this is where thousands of adventurers perished in just a few days...”

Elaine reminded them about the first wide-scale Northern Continent Expedition which only has 24 survivors.

Yumi nodded as she remembers grandma Thea's warning about the Celestial Beings...

”We'll move cautiously... If you felt any danger, just give us a sign...”

They continued their run as they passed several mana beasts who tried to follow and catch them. There were also some who gave up just by seeing their speed.

Unfortunately, they experienced the ever-changing climate of the northern continent just before they got out of the forest.

Baam!

A bolt of lightning strikes a nearby tree followed by a loud thunder... The sky had quickly turned dark and the rains pour heavily.

”Careful... Don't let the rain touch your skin...”

Yumi immediately warned the others. For someone who specializes in water and ice magic, she quickly noticed the abnormality of the raindrops.

Everyone covered themselves with a bit thicker Mana Shell to avoid being drench by the heavy rain.

”What's the problem, Yumi?” Hannah asked after getting closer to her.

”This rain isn't made of water... We have to be careful...”

They no longer asked further as they hurried away from this place.

Wallace noticed that Yumi was telling that truth as the raindrops seem to contain a small parasite. No, the raindrops itself was made of a parasite! They were a jelly-like creatures and their numbers were too scary...

A heavy rain containing billions of parasites dropping from the sky was definitely a scary sight.

Luckily, they were confident with their Mana Shell and they just had to run through this place. They no longer bothered studying what could these parasites do with them.

It was better to get away from here as soon as possible.

After running for about five kilometers, they notice that the rain has weakened and as they run for a couple more minutes, there was no longer any rain as they left the dark sky.

The group has also left the forest and now standing on a cliff. Below them was another patch of forest and they can see that there's a lake far away and a mountain range they had to cross.

Whoosh!

There was even a large vulture-like creature flying above their head... Its wingspan nearly reach sixty meters. They were ignored for some reason as it headed towards the lake.

”Let's go...”

Yumi said before jumping from the cliff as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Everyone gauges the distance below before jumping while Wallace waited for all of them to jump while he suddenly disappeared and reappeared below surprising Yumi who had the first jump from the cliff.

'This kid...'

Yumi wasn't sure how did he manage to do that as this young man was full of mysterious abilities.

'Whoa~ That's looks so convenient...'

Hannah thought after seeing Wallace who was already surveying their location for any approaching dangers.
