nThud!

nI landed on the ground gently and looked ahead toward my destination.

nIt is two hours away from it, but in cautiousness. I descended far away from it as there was a huge chance that this was likely a trap.

nBefore, I had walked out through the door of the castle. I had received a message from Hayat.

nShe had said, there is a 'Irvus Pool' in here and gave me the coordinates of it.

nIrvus Pool is an amazing resource. I have been searching for it for a long time. It didn't increase the strength; that would be putting its use cheaply.

nIt's amazing that increases the cohesion of the body and soul. So, they could merge more smoothly.

nThis step is very complicated and dangerous for a person like me due to the forbidden power. So, this is why, despite knowing, this might be a trap. I had to decide to come here. As it is the resources that could help me tremendously with my breakthrough in the Sky Sovereign.

nI activated the stealth with full power and moved toward the destination.

nI have to be extremely careful. If I had sensed even a hint of trouble. I will run away, and I am making preparations as I run. It will make it easier to hide it.

nI had been preparing for it since I had left the castle area three weeks ago.

nThe resources, I had found on the way. Had helped me a lot in crafting some of the things I had put down, while some I had crafted before even coming to this realm.

nAn hour passed by, and my waves had not sensed even a single person.

nI could sense a few monsters, but not a person.

nIt made me even more cautious as I slowed down my steps further and even used more of my clone to study the data from the waves.

nSome might be using stealth, which is hard to sense. I am not that confident about telling, that my soul waves could scan through everything.

nHun!

nTwenty minutes passed, and I finally sensed a person. She is sitting under the tree with her eyes closed.

nSurrounding her is a complex invisible formation covering around a hundred meters of dimension. A few minutes later, I could see the person's face.

nThis is a beautiful tall elf with long forest green hair.

nShe is not releasing any aura, and I am not taking the risk of trying to collect it from her skin. That formation is dangerous and quite defensive.

nSo, I moved around fifteen minutes later. I stopped a few hundred meters from the formation.

nI stood there without making any movement and just watched her.

nOver a minute later, the elf had opened her eyes. They are vibrant, and green, which enhances her beauty to another level.

n

"You took your sweet time to come,

" she said in the familiar voice of Hayat. It feels strange to hear the voice from a different face.

nWhen I change my face. I also change my voice.

n

"Hayat,

" I said simply. I was planning to play dumb for a minute, since I am wearing a different skin, but decided against it after thinking about a moment.

nShe smiled and got up, before waving at her, making the invisible formation surrounding her disappear.

nIt made me relieved. There was a chance, that it might have been hiding some people. Seeing it remove it; I am not sure, there are none.

nStill, I didn't let my guard down.

nShe might not be as strong as Aros or Anna, but I felt danger from her. More than I felt from them; she has something that is fatally dangerous to me.

n

"Where is Irvus Pool?

" I asked directly.

nThere is no need to waste any time. If she is trying to play games or it is a trap, I want to finish with it as soon as possible.

n

"Follow me,

" she replied.

nI did, and we both began to move. We kept a distance from each other, never getting close more than a hundred meters.

n

"Did you have any trouble getting out of castles range?

" she asked after a few minutes of silence.

n

"No,

" I replied.

n

"You?

" I asked.

"No, but it took some time. The place had been swarmed by people wanting to hunt us,

" she replied, shaking her head.

nI don't think, anyone among the top five faced any significant problems.

nEach had the abilities, which they were quite confident about, and we even got the ten-second lead. Which might not seem much, but it is for the people like us.

nStill, I can't be wrong. There was quite a powerful waiting for us. Like the woman I had fought a few weeks ago.

nShe was as powerful as Hayat.

nMinutes passed, but she didn't stop. I didn't say anything either, but I sent the soul waves to search for anyone who might be hiding.

nThere is no building, but I didn't sense any building either that could house the Irvus Pool.

nThough I have seen enough things to know, that building didn't have to be visible to be here. It might be hiding, it ruined or collapsed, there are many such buildings, I could sense.

nSeeing the way, Hayat is moving. She had been in that place.

nWhich begs the question. Why does she need me?

nShe is powerful and good on runes. She needs to be able to create an inheritance as powerful

nas hers.

nSoon, we entered the ruined city. Everything is collapsed. Not a single building is standing in here. I have information about it and knew it had been cleaned.

nThere is nothing in here.

nA few minutes passed, and we stopped in what used to be harden, looking at signs. Now, there are barely any plants around me.

nHayat crowded down waved her hand and immediately, all the dust and stones disappeared, and pristine white tile appeared.

nThere is not a scratch on it. It looked like, it had been placed there a moment ago.

nHayat looked at it for a moment, before a red disk appeared in her hand and she placed it on it.
