The black cat suddenly spoke, causing Skinorse to jump in fright. However, Skinorse had experienced things from all over the world and had seen many unbelievable things himself. Therefore he was quickly able to regain his composure.

He gazed at the black cat perched on Nana’s shoulder unmoving and laughed. “This cat is cute.”

The black cat rolled its eyes at Skinorse and said indifferently, “When I’m talking to Link, mortals like you shouldn’t butt in.”

Its voice was very clear and bright. Coupled with its round face and eyes that were half closed as though asleep, it gave off an impression that it couldn’t care less. Seeing it would make one want to grab it and give it a hug.

Skinorse laughed once more and said, “Hehe, how interesting. You talk really big. Could you possibly be the cat god?”

The black cat’s eyes were half opened, and it said lazily to Link,” Are you going to listen to me, or let this mortal continue interrupting me?”

“Alright, go ahead,” Link said. He smiled apologetically to Skinorse, thinking of the confrontation between him and the black cat. “Let’s go with the bad news first.”

“The bad news is, Isendilan used two other divine spells, causing the rift to expand greatly. Because of that, the energy from the Sea of Void is entering into Firuman and causing the density of Mana to increase rapidly. In one year, it will be double from now, and in two years, quadruple. The Mana would build up to a point where Firuman can no longer handle the Mana and Boom! This place will become a great big firework.”

Skinorse was stunned. He swallowed his saliva, saying to Link, “Lord, this cat is talking nonsense right? Isn’t Firuman doing fine?”

Link didn’t answer Skinorse. He had been prepared for the black cat’s news. “How long do we have?”

“About 15 years. Unless something unexpected happens, there’s no way to undo it. Anyway, I’ve got no ideas.”

“What about the good news?”

“Good news is, I’ve figured out the rule of the Dark Serpent, and I know the way to defend against the dark magic. If you want to learn it, it’ll take about half a month…But this magic will require huge amounts of Mana. You won’t be able to handle it alone and will need to construct a large magic seal.”

“No problem, you can begin teaching me now,” Link said. His current Maximum Mana was 18500 points. After slaying Isendilan, he had about 700 Omni Points. This enabled him to raise his maximum Mana to 25500 points.

It seemed like a lot, but if he were to consume all his Mana completely, it would only be enough to cast one Level-11 Legendary Attack magic spell. He definitely wouldn’t be able to deal with the dark magic alone.

As for the collapse of Firuman, it sounded very serious, but it actually wasn’t. They still had 15 years which was a pretty long time. The most important danger right now was the Dark Serpent, and they could decide what to do with the rift after getting past this obstacle.

Meanwhile, Skinorse could feel his heart thumping. He had no idea how true the black cat’s words were, but judging from Link’s serious expression, he was sure that it was 90 percent true.

“Sir, you’re joking… Right?” Skinorse asked once more. He was holding on to the thin thread of hope.

The black cat turned to look disdainfully at him. “Pitiful mortal, do I look like the type to joke?”

Link nodded his head. “It’s true. Regarding the rift, it’s good enough that you know about it. Don’t spread it.”

Skinorse suddenly felt like there was no more hope in life. “Sir, is there any way to repair it?”

Looking at Skinorse, Link didn’t continue giving him extra pressure and stress. “Yes, there is.”

Skinorse let out a sigh of relief and pat his chest. “That’s good, that’s good. Gave me a shock.”

The black cat disdainfully rolled its eyes again before it began to lick its paw.

They hit the road again, and along the way, the black cat began to teach Link how to resist the Dark Serpent’s dark magic. It was very deep and obscure. Out of curiosity, Skinorse attempted to listen in on the conversation. Within three minutes, his head already felt like exploding.

Compared to this, he’d much rather play with the pretty magic puppet girl. The other party’s reactions were very interesting, and it kept him entertained to no end.

Three days later, Link arrived on the border between the Golden Plains and Norton Kingdom.

This time, Link headed directly north, so they were traveling towards the northeast. After exiting the Golden Plains, they arrived at the perilous Hengduan Mountain Range.

This was the continent’s biggest mountain range, spanning over 600 miles. Within it lived the Yabbas, Dwarves, and other Barbarian tribes.

The majority of the mountain range was covered in perilous terrain, with narrow paths that only mountain goats could traverse. Link and his party slowed down their pace by a lot.

At this point, Link no longer recognized the way. Fortunately, Skinorse was very familiar with the geography of the continent. He explained, “From here, we will pass through the Hengduan Mountain Range, about 800 miles long. After exiting the mountain range, we will need to walk for another 130 miles. There’s a region there that would bring us straight through a corner of the Dark Forest. It could be dangerous.”
