Chapter 879 - Code Red (1/2)
It was completely dark when I came out of the cavern, before coming out I had sent Ashlyn out, to see if there was anyone outside, especially humans. If there are humans nearby, I would have waited till they leave.
I do want to share this Garden with anyone, but I do not want to kill any human who finds out about it. Ashlyn does find someone outside, but it was Grimm Monster, a Silver Elite at that; she had burned it with a simple attack of hers.
As I came out, I fixed the vines properly before flying to the top of the hill where Ashlyn was already waiting for me with her two-meter long size and the special seat of the fire, seeing that I did not waste any time and sat on it.
”Lets Fly!”
I said to Ashlyn who chirped excitedly before shooting in the sky at the blurring speed. With her speed, we have reached very high, even higher than when we have come here and like that time, it is cold, even colder than before.
I had thought with my strength increasing, I would not feel much colder in my return trip, but what happened is the opposite, I am feeling even colder. If not for the layer of fire covering me, there would be frost piled up on my body.
We are flying at an even higher altitude from before, and I had also taken out an oxygen mast from my storage as I was having difficulty in breaking.
It would have been fine if I did not wear a mask, but I did not want to have any problem in breaking; I've had that enough in The Garden.
To be honest, I am enjoying flying at such a high altitude. There was complete silence, except for the sound of wind one could not hear anything and not forget the view of the above one get.
When one looks above, one gets the feeling of being minuscule, which is quite a tempting feeling, it gives one inspiration to try harder, so that one day one would become powerful enough to do things that made one feel minuscule.
Such serenity one could barely get anywhere, no wonder Ashlyn liked to fly so high, anyone would like to be in such an environment, but of course, to be here, they will have to experience the Cold that is enough to freeze off the Golden Elite.
It has been two hours since we started our return journey and have existed in human territory half an hour ago and now flying in the airspace of the Grimm Monsters.
I've seen many Grimm Monsters on the way, but they didn't see us, they were far below us to see us. Not to forget their senses, even their eyes would not be able to see us through their eyes.
The travel is lonely, but it feels good, such alone free time is very good for thinking about many things. In the companionship of the freezing wind, I thought about many things, good, bad, neutral, everything.
As such, time passed by, and Dawn came, and we are just a few minutes away from our destination. The whole night, we had traveled, we did not stop by a single Grimm Monster, which made our travel very fast.
We completed our return journey in half of the time that we needed to go to the Garden; the speed to Ashlyn was simply amazing, and the thing is this is not her greatest speed.
The speed we have returned is her balance, which did not consume her stamina; if she had traveled with her real speed, it would have taken us even less time.
Thud!
Ashlyn landed on the secluded spot, and I jumped from her and second later Ashlyn returned to her original size, and we walked toward the teleportation point which is at just an hour distance away.
