Chapter 608: Visions of the Peak (2/2)

After inspecting it for quite some time, he discovered that he had nothing to worry about. The barrier doesn't seem to be preventing them from moving forward, it also didn't feel like it would hurt them if they pass through so Raven got the attention of his teammates and told them to step at the peak at the same time.

*Weng!*

The moment their bodies made contact with the barrier, they felt some form of resistance but not strong enough to repel them. As soon as their foot landed at the peak, Raven discovered that his teammates disappeared mysteriously, causing him to panic briefly.

He was on-guard all this time, yet even with that the War Gods still disappeared without him being alerted of it. It didn't allow him to react at all, they just instantly disappeared like they weren't there in the first place.

Nevertheless, Raven calmed himself down. He still have the Life Jades of the War Gods and they remained intact, meaning that they're still alive and well. It's just that they were transported somewhere Raven couldn't reach with his current power.

Knowing that they're safe was enough for him. He sighed in relief and had an idea of what happened, however now's not the time to focus on that since he had other matters to attend to.

”Is this...it?” Raven asked with uncertainty as he looked around him...only to see nothing.

The peak of Mount Olympus was an empty flat ground to him. Nothing, not even a blade of grass could be seen around him. Only a clean and flat ground.

This confused him greatly and betrayed his expectations. All this time, people were telling incredible stories about their adventures on Mount Olympus, there are even text he read that implied some of the things that they saw at the peak, yet now he's met with this.

Who wouldn't feel betrayed and dejected after encountering this situation?

Raven looked around once more, he even opened his ocular technique in attempts to cover every inch of this flat ground, thinking that he might be missing some clues in here. Yet despite his efforts, he was met with nothing, and it's quite disheartening for him.

”Oh come on...” Raven groaned in irritation as he placed his hands on his hips. ”Seriously? All of that for nothing? That's quite disappointing.”

”Now's not yet the time, that's why...”

”Who!!?” Raven was alarmed when he suddenly heard a faint whisper close to his ears.

He looked around with a serious expression on his face. The Brush of Wisdom appeared on his hands and was glowing with light, he was clearly prepared to draw a rune just in case a fight occurs.

To his surprise however, it didn't matter how much he looked around. He saw nothing, just like before, even with his ocular technique active, he could find the source of this voice.

”Now's not yet the time for you to see what's in here.” The disembodied voice once again sounded near his ears, causing Raven to flinch. Now he's sure that whoever it is that's speaking, was clearly beyond his understanding and won't show itself to him.

”What does that mean?” He asked, trying to probe information from the disembodied voice.

”It's too early...oh so early...” The voice said, carrying a tinge of amusement. ”You still have long ways to go Child, that is if you truly want to see what's hidden in here.”

”Then what do I need to do if I want to see what's hidden here?” He asked.

There was a long period of silence before the disembodied voice sounded next to him once more.

”When you are strong enough to unveil the real mystery behind this place, it would be the same day that you will come back here to search for answers.”

”When that time comes, you will see. When that time comes, what's hidden from you, will be revealed.”

*Swoosh!*
