1281 Talent 1 (1/2)

Garen flew at a high speed up above in the white snowy mountain as he was moving toward the perimeter outside of the snowy mountain. He recalled his feelings and sensation back in the day when he flew about casually as he tried to find the magical place once more.

Both the Suffering Knights were in tight pursuit from behind and they were clearly enraged by him. They had tried countless of time to corner him by splitting up so that Garen would move to a certain direction. However, Garen had completely ignored them since his speed was faster than theirs. Hence he would fly about in his own path.

As he was flying around, he vaguely noticed that some of the Elder Giant Iguanas that he passed by were very respectful toward the Suffering Knights. Since they seemed to be allies, Garen did not dare to fly deeper in. Instead, he decided to fly toward the outskirts.

The sky gradually turned dark as the night approached. The three of them were still flying in the sky at high speed. The mountain ranged below them seemed to be endless as they flew into an unknown area.

Garen soon gradually realized that the snowflakes started appearing more and more as they danced chaotically with the strong gale.

A tornado-like blizzard had started forming.

Garen flew into the tornado blizzard that had yet to fully form and felt a familiar sensation welcoming him.

”This is it!” He was slightly delighted. He was extremely familiar with the blizzard which lasted for days as he was chased by a Suffering Knight in the same condition for a few days last time.

He was able to hold up against a Suffering Knight for a long period of time. It was way easier than before now that he was twice as fast. However, Garen did not wish to simply get rid of the Suffering Knights' pursuit, so he would occasionally reduce his speed to kite them along to prevent them from losing sight of him.

”Damn it! Where is this guy trying to escape to!? We're in a blizzard! We'll be taken to a place that isn't worthwhile at all!” The Suffering Knight who was holding a Knight's Spear could not help but curse out.

”I feel that he is kiting us.” The Suffering Knight with the sword pondered as he spoke softly. ”We have to find a way to inform the higher up. Perhaps he's planning to lure us to a stronger being that is backing him. Didn't he... do that the last time?”

”Be careful.”

”Don't worry... I will use what the superior gave me when it's necessary.”

The more Garen flew, the more familiar it became. It was the same circumstances as before, where he could not see anything in front but a pure white blizzard. Garen could not have differentiated up and down if not for the gravity pulling him down.

However, he was familiar with this sensation.

”This feels really strange...” Garen's Soul Ring felt a very slight vibration that he had not experienced before. It felt like the air around him was trembling.

He tried to fly straight on, fighting against the blizzard's resistance and paying close attention toward two of the Suffering Knights tailing behind him.

Two days had passed in a blink of an eye.

Garen had no idea how long he had been flying and estimated that he had been doing so for the past two days and nights. However, the blizzard did not seem to have an end, as it kept blowing strong at him.

However, he felt that he was approaching closer towards the eye of the blizzard.

At last, the blizzard's pull became stronger as Garen flew towards where its strength was at its peak.

Pew!

In a blink of an eye, everything was clear in front of him.

He had, once again, flown out of the blizzard.

What appeared before his eyes was a pure and serene azure lake. The calm lake water mirrored the huge snowy mountain in front of him. The sky was completely blue; it did not feel like he was at the Fiery Blaze Mountain Range at all.

The air was so clean to the point where bacteria were seemingly unable to sustain in such a condition.

Garen once again felt the strange ubiquitous presence.

He turned around to look at the humongous blizzard cyclone which connected the sky and earth as two Suffering Knights clumsily flew out from it. However, they did not seem to be tired at all as they recovered the moment the got out from it.

”The Undead live up to their name. They really don't know what exhaustion means.” Garen laughed coldly. He then turned his head around and ignored them as he flew directly towards the snowy mountain.

He started searching for the crevice that he found last time.

Soon, he found the crevice that he found on the side of the snowy mountain and went inside it.

”It's too dangerous here!” The Suffering Knight holding the Knight's Spear said softly as he flew to the entrance of the crevice Garen had entered.

”We have lost contact with our superior. It seems that he uses this method to kill our comrade.” The Suffering Knight with the sword said sternly. ”Should we pursue?”

”Can we catch up?” The Suffering Knight with Knight's Spear questioned back. ”I feel like he's kiting us.”

”Should we start setting up here? The superior will solve this incident if he arrives.”

”No. It's unwise to do so without knowing our opponent's background. It will bring a lot of trouble to our superior.”

”They can't do anything to us as long as we don't enter it.” The analysis of the Suffering Knight with the sword was very spot on.

”Very well.”

Both of them were once warriors who had survived hundreds of battles. Although a portion of their soul and mind had degraded after turning into an Undead, they were still equipped with a very high awareness and trait.

They did not follow Garen into the crevice. Instead, they started flying around slowly as they analyzed the surrounding.
