Chapter 448 - LIKE A CELESTIAL IMMORTAL (1/2)

Ding! Ding! Ding!

An alarm sounded before the life capsule opened. Akira was surprised as she opened her eyes. She sat up in surprise and stepped out of the pod. She put on her discarded shoes with a small smile because she was feeling very refreshed.  ​​

Even though she had been living quite well in the Immortal Sword Valley, she was always stressed. She did not feel like she could spend a single moment of her time resting while Kaito's fate was unknown. Therefore, she could not sleep as much as her body needed.

It seemed that giving up on her quest if just temporarily, was not a bad thing. This thought came with some guilt. Moreover, she could not believe that the best sleep she had gotten since Kaito left was in a strange capsule. Perhaps, she should inquire about getting one.

The doors of the mysterious van opened. She picked her bag and sword and stepped out of the vehicle. She was not certain about her current location, so she held her weapon tightly. It would be bad if she was being dropped off in a hostile location.

Before her eyes could adjust to the darkness around her, the van closed its doors and drove off.

Akira looked at her immediate surroundings and blinked in confusion. She could see nothing but trees. The Luna Adventures people had dropped her literally in the middle of the woods. She squatted to the ground and looked at the small road the van had used in the dim natural light.

The roadway was more of a walking path, based on the lack of other vehicle tracks. The dew-covered grass was undamaged, except by the van. Furthermore, it ended exactly where the van dropped her off. From that point, the trees were more thickly populated.

She looked in the direction where the vehicle had gone.

In a normal situation, she would follow that path because it most likely would lead to the main road. However, her primary goal when she called the number Kaito gave her was to escape from the danger of being attacked and pursued by whoever was after her.

If the evacuation service that Kaito trusted had brought her to this point, it meant that the dėsɨrėd destination was somewhere away from the road. Therefore, the logical action would be walking into the forested area.

She felt frustrated by the mysterious nature of this entire thing. If it were not for Little Precious, she would not have taken this action. She would have paved a bloody road around the world with her sword until she found Kaito.

However, the previous night had proved that she was not able to protect herself in her current condition. If the attacks continued, she would probably end up losing Little Precious and even dying. Therefore, she did not regret calling the number.

Of course, she would not regret it even more if she knew where she was.

Without her phone, she could not even check on her location. Of course, that was a good thing. Only an idiot would escape from people hunting them and then turn on their location services. Still, the feeling of disorientation was terrible.
