Chapter 194: The Desert of Death
The sun went down as it had worked hard all day, while the ht shone down beautifully in unison with starlight, helping travelers in the lifeless desert as if it was an illuht sky
After Sila, Sebastian, and Lookhin left Zhongsuyuan City, they traveled west As Sebastian eaker this ti speed was slower than usual Normally they would've arrived in the afternoon, but they had taken three
”We should stop here, sir We are close to the desert,” said Sebastian
”Actually, Sebastian, you could let o ahead and su with us at all” Sila took a break for the second tiue
”The desert is a special dimension, sir I'ether Better to be safe than sorry, sir It is best we go in together”
Sila nodded before feeding Lookhin, who didn't show any sign of fatigue, co heavily and drinking a stamina potion
”Are we near? Where is the desert?” Sila tried to look for soure out where they were
The scenery was a wasteland with patches of sand and few trees to be seen It seemed they had reached the point where a wasteland and a desert h Sila couldn't tell whether he was already inside the Desert of Death or not
”I have been here three times, sir, but the furthest I could reach was at this spot I couldn't go any further no matter how I tried I suspect the di without a hu boulder ”Ahead of that boulder will be the Desert of Death's territory, sir”
Sila approached the boulder and found that there were characters engraved on it The characters were partially covered in sand, so he took a few e
”Oneforth Your ill co of equivalent price”
Sebastian walked up to him ”When I stepped past this boulder, the dimension would always reject suyuan City, only humans can enter the desert, sir However, everyone who has entered died and forgot everything they experienced in the desert, except a lingering fear that prevented the It is the second most mysterious place in this world”
”And where is number one?” Sila couldn't help but be curious
”It must be the Monster Realends about that place, though nobody knohere it is or how to get there”
”Don't worry, Sebastian I will surely bring you back to rateful, sir”
After Sila summoned Illuminus, Sebastian came to know that he must have met Joshua They talked for an hour and Sila learned that Joshua was once Ramiel and Sebastian's master Based on Sebastian's expression, Sila could tell that Sebastian regretted h it was an encounter that only lasted a few seconds
Sila's interest returned to the boulder ”How can we be sure that e step past the boulder, it won't be just me that enters the dimension while the two of you are left here?”
”In order to ether, I think you should seal Lookhin and I within your armor, sir We are your pets anyway You can release us after you are within the dimension”
Sila nodded He are that Sebastian didn't like being sealed, and as such had never sealed hi to be sealed this time, Sila could tell that the butler desperately wanted to enter the desert
”Seal Lookhin in the first slot and Sebastian in the third slot”
Sila invoked the coot absorbed into the armor The three sreat sparrok, an android arrim reaper respectively The middle circle was empty since he and Mamon were too far apart Most of the are and auto past the boulder He didn't abandon all hope like it told hih Instead, his heart was filled with hope He expected a lot frorant hiiftseemed like a waste of time, but Sila fir for him
After he had walked three steps past the boulder, Sila couldn't spot any difference except for the fact that the area was especially sandy In the end, once the number of steps he had taken reached ten and he looked back, he couldn't see the boulder anymore He was now in the middle of a desert where all he saas sand
It was a cold and lifeless desert with the sound of the wind as his only companion
”Release Sebastian Release Lookhin”
Both balls of light shot out Lookhin perched on Sila's shoulder while Sebastian was looking around with exciteht?” asked Sila
”Probably, sir, since the boulder disappeared”
”Now, the proble the sword and the God of Death”
Sebastian continued to look around for clues, but nothing could be seen except sand He brought out a compass that he had prepared and found that the needle was spinning non-stop
”As expected,” said Sebastian He hadn't expected it to work in the first place, but figured it orth a shot
”Anything?” Sila asked while taking out an astronoht from a scroll shop He used it as a reference to find a direction using the positioning of the stars
”No, sir If it was me from before, I would be able to use a spell to sense the God of Death's presence However, as we are now, I think ill have to use our backup plan May I ask if Lookhin is full?”
Sila lifted up Lookhin, which slapped its belly using its wing In order to proceed with the backup plan that Sebastian had thought of, Sila had to feed Lookhin a tremendous amount of food, comparable to what Bluebird could eat in an entire week
”Let me summarize our situation, sir We are noare of our current location, and the co for, but don't knohich e need to go to find them”
Sila finally found the north star It was on his left, which was bizarre because he had entered the desert froht
