“Hiss, that’s not right. After using the Bone-mending Wand, he might need to rest before leaving…
“Perhaps he’s in a weakened state now? I can take advantage of this opportunity and get a final blow to him?”
Noland Lee hesitated for a moment, his heart both excited and cautious.
He calmed his mind and stepped into the staircase leading to the exit.
The faint sound of the wind seemed to swirl around his ears.
The poisonous fog in the staircase was stirred up by the wind blowing in from the exit, creating ripples.
Noland Lee’s heart moved, and his eyes sparkled.
“Finally, I’m going to escape from the Suffering Borderland…
“I’ll never come back to this ghostly place in the Tatis Empire unless I have to fulfill the Original Master’s last wish!
‘What’s the point of staying in a place where you can’t see the sun and the moon all day?
“Eh… I wonder what the starry skies and the sun in this world look like? Are they the same as the world before I crossed? If they are, does it mean that I didn’t cross and just came to a different point in the past or future of the original world?
“…I’m not sure, I’ll find out when I get to the ground.”
Noland Lee, full of anticipation, crossed the threshold of the stairway entrance and moved toward the direction of the breeze.
The wind grew stronger, and the toxic fog in the air became thinner, indicating that he was getting closer to the cliff on the north side of the mountain range. A circular hall adorned with a fountain sculpture appeared at the end of the walkway.
On the wall behind the sculpture, there were a row of doorways through which starlight and fields could be seen.
Noland Lee’s heart stirred, slightly quickening his pace while paying attention to his surroundings.
Just as he entered the circular hall, a hunched figure emerged from a corner.
“Hehehehe… I’ve finally waited for you… *cough cough*… Noland Lee Jarvis…
“You must have something like a parachute in your backpack, right? Otherwise, how could you, a Wild Wizard who’s only a First Rank Wizard at most, choose this place as your escape point?
“*Cough cough*… Hand your backpack over to me, and then I’ll consider leaving your corpse intact…”
“Greenshaw…” Noland Lee stared intently at the stooped figure.
The man’s body was bent almost at a 90-degree angle, his back hunched and unable to straighten up; he had to tilt his head back to speak.
One look at his face – old, withered, the skin like dead bark clinging to his face – showed no trace of the tall and thin figure he used to be.
“It seems that using the Bone-mending Wand has had a significant negative impact on you, Greenshaw. Weren’t you able to fly? Why not just fly out?” While talking, Lee walked slowly around the circular fountain sculpture.
Greenshaw’s gaze closely followed Noland Lee’s movement.
He suddenly raised his right hand, directing a black lightning bolt from his wand in hand.
Noland Lee managed to summon several “Magic Shields” in succession, barely blocking the attack, and retreating several steps in the explosion of the lightning.
