484 We Are One (2/2)
One cannot see the whole picture if they are inside of it.
However, it is a different story if they are outside of the picture or have someone else outside to look at the picture for them.
”I see… you are both of them…” Aria said.
She felt Leon's explanation was the most ideal answer to her dilemma. She could not choose between one and the other, but everything fits perfectly if they were one and the same.
As the two cuddled in bed together, they took turns inquiring and listening to each other's experiences during the time they were not together.
Sometime later, Leon separated from Aria and said, ”I'm glad we had this talk.”
”I'm glad too,” Aria said.
Not only did they feel like their bonds have become stronger after learning more about each other, but they also found a common goal to strive for.
The mystery of the world and the truth behind it—their strong curiosity compel them to understand its secrets.
Why was the world built the way it is?
”Let's head out. There's much work to be done.” Leon stated objectively with a smile.
Aria smiled back sweetly, ”Alright.”
Shortly after, the two returned to the deck.
”Your Highness, we will be exiting the Great Forest shortly.” The captain informed before giving out his warning, ”Everyone, brace yourselves.”
”Aye, aye, captain.”
The crew answered.
Right up ahead, the thick clouds of smothering black smoke produced by the burning forest could be seen filling up the airspace before them.
As the airship flew straight for the billowing clouds of black smoke, Leon casually waved his hand and parted the black clouds with his Divine Will, creating a clear path ahead.
Swoosh~!
The crew gazed at the walls of black smoke on either side of the airship as they flew past. The captain and crew sighed emotionally.
They were impressed by the prince's ability.
After passing the black smoke cloud, the airship shortly exited the Great Forest, and the situation outside was laid bare to their sights.
The endless rat tide filled the vast plains, painting the greenery in grey.
Leon gazed down at the black batch on the surface below where the rats had been burned to death by numerous rounds of exploding pills.
The Skysilver Beast King could still be seen battling the rats intensely within the burned area after the flames died out.
As if sensing Leon's gaze, the Skysilver Beast King glanced up at him before it howled excitedly.
Its momentary distraction allowed dozens of rats to leap onto its body and bite into its flesh, causing it to growl angrily with a body roll before sweeping them away with tails.
Leon was taken aback back on the airship, but he did not think too deeply into the Skysilver Beast King's excitement.
”Time to go rat fishing.”
