Chapter 596: Artificial Demon Core (1/2)

Leon did not pursue the scattering group of mutated beings but cleansed the area of its remaining Wrathful Demonic Energy before returning to the surface with a puzzled look.

”Strangely, these mutated beings still know what fear is and when to retreat in the face of a formidable foe, eh? But they only did so after I revealed the power of the Nihility Law...” Leon mumbled with doubt.

The mutated beings did not seem to be affected by Wrathful Demonic Energy, or at least not affected to the point of losing their minds.

”How odd…”

In a short moment, Leon reached the surface and cleaved his way through the ice seal on his way out, causing the nearby Lilith to jolt with a start, sliding down the ice slope in an embarrassing manner.

”Ah!”

Lilith gave a soft cry, landing on her bottoms before glaring over to Leon, who landed gracefully on his feet.

”Why did you come out so suddenly?”

”Didn't I say I was going to be quick?” Leon retorted with a light smile before adding, ”Aren't we in a hurry to reach your clan? If everyone's ready, let us continue on our way.”

”…Fine.”

Lilith made a slight pout, unwilling to argue and delay the journey further as she hopped onto Soft Feather's back right away.

”Looks like everyone's been waiting.”

After Leon glanced at Aria and Duna cultivating silently on Soft Feather's back, Leon tapped the Blue Luan lightly on the head, urging her to wake, ”Miss Soft Feather, please take us on our way.”

”Ugh…”

Soft Feather made a slight disgruntled groan, pretending to have woken up from her nap before taking to the skies with a strong flap of her majestic feathery wings.

Swoosh~!

The group reached high altitude in a short instance before Leon leaned over the edge and made a loud whistle to Silver, alerting it not to fall behind.

Within moments, Soft Feather reached a consistent flight speed in the skies without blowing everyone off her back, soaring over large stretches of battle-torn and blood-soaked fields of lands.

Corpses and carcasses littered the surface, and little life remained behind on the vast lands of greens, painted in red and black.

The deeper they traveled into the Wildlands, the more they saw—the horrors and damages brought by the apocalyptic Cataclysm.

It was like the ending of all life.

On their trip, a few remnant berserk beasts feasted on the rotting flesh of inanimate carcasses and corpses, while berserk flying beasts were discovered in the sky occasionally.

Nevertheless, Leon flew off Soft Feather's back and made quick work of the enemy before landing back on Soft Feather's back without disturbing Aria and Duna's cultivation.

”How long do you think it'll take us to reach the Desolate Crow Clan at this pace, Lilith?”
