After few hours all the girls returned to his hellish dimension. Rowen even sent Lilias back. "Go, for now, I will call you once I reach the pit."
"Don't try to enter that place on your own. Promise me that you will call me out." Lilias held one of his hand.
"Yes, don't worry."
Rowen then looked at Dana. "Give me the map for the pit of Ascendence."
Dana nodded. "Yes, Brother" She then took out a rolled leather cloth and gave it to Rowen. "Brother this is the map from WheatHollow library. I have compared it with the map that Felicia gave me from Stiya Library and based on the information her father gave. I have marked the best path to reach there." She said and bowed down in front of him. "Please be safe Brother," She said in a sweet voice and then disappeared from the place.
Lilias looked at him and sighed. "Keep your promise." And with her words, she too disappeared from the place.
Rowen unrolled the leather cloth and looked for the directions and his brows raised in surprise. "The Pit moves every three years." He looked at the five points on the map. "It looks like it moves in a fixed direction." The five points made a hexagonal shape.
"According to the Information, I will at least need two months to reach that place. And from the looks of it, some Heretics would be present at the place, trying to ascend." He nodded and then stepped on his balcony, from there he flew up and after reaching a certain height, looked down.
A dark aura was looming all over the sect and surrounding thousands of kilometres. And with it, there was an eerie silence too. Felicia and Ampone have tortured every living soul in this area.
Rowen smiled and moved towards the new place at which the Ascendence pit has travelled in these four years. With a swoosh of air, his body zoomed above the white cottony layer of clouds that stretched as far as eyes could see.
His head tilted ahead and while pushing many of the clouds behind his body flew at an extremely fast speed breaking the sound barrier in just a few seconds. His clothes and hairs fluttered gracefully on the air as he moved ahead without any stop.
While on his way he remembered the promise he gave to Blair. They needed to meet at the Ellesmere kingdom, he promised her that they will meet after five years and only two more months are left before that happens. However, he will not be able to meet her for now. As it will take him two months just to reach the pit of Ascendence and on top of that, he needs to enter that place and come out as well and even after that he will need two more months to return to the Kingdom of Ellesmere and he was not even sure that if Ellesmere is still surviving or Rubloa Sect has already flattened the whole place down to the rumble.
'I estimate it will take at least a year before I can reach back to Ellesmere.'
"You have to wait another year, Blair," He said and increased his speed to maximum. The pit was just on the opposite end of this plane and reaching there was no small matter. If not for his Demonic Dao and the power that comes with it he would have needed even more than two months. An average Heretic would have needed at least ten months to do the same job and even a Martial Ancestor would have needed two months. He wasn't sure about his mother. He knew that she was a Martial Ancestor.
Thinking more about Blair he suddenly stopped midair. "Ia knows Blair and I don't think she needs to be at the Ascendence pit." Thinking more about it he nodded and called both Ia and Winona out of his Hellish Dimension. Both of them stood in front of him with smiles on their faces.
"Master..." Both of them said simultaneously with an accompanying bow.
"Both of you, go back to the Kingdom of Ellesmere." He said and looked at Ia.
Both of them had confused expressions on their faces, especially Winona. She even had a scared expression as she wanted to go to Pit of Ascendece with her master. As it was a dangerous place. And she didn't want to leave him alone at such time. Ia raised her brows, between the three of them only she and Rowen knew about the Kingdom of Ellesmere. Ia knew that Rowen was the King at that place for few weeks.
"Master, what do you need from the Kingdom?"
"You know Blair, right?" Rowen turned back and looked in the direction of Ellesmere.
"Yes master, I know sister Blair."
"Well, she will be there in two months and I need you to tell her that I will not be back for another two years, so all three of you wait for me there."
Although according to his calculations it would take him only one year, he told them for two. He was taking into consideration any unexpected circ.u.mstances at the Pit. Many heretics from all over the plane gathered around the pit, whenever it opens and try to ascend. A fight can break out there anytime. And if a treasure like Deathpin or the Holy Gauntlet came in front of him again then situations could take a longer time.
"Master, but I want to go with you," Winona said while Ia stayed silent, her heart started beating very fast. On one hand, she didn't want to leave Rowen alone in this dangerous situation and on another hand, she can't decline his orders. She then looked at Winona she was more vocal than her and she stole words from her mouth.
Rowen narrowed his eyes and looked at Winona with an annoyed expression. "You two listen carefully. As this will be the last time I will explain. Go to the kingdom of Ellesmere and tell my slave to wait for me for two more years and you two also wait there," He said with a slightly heavy tone that stuffed both of their mouths with their own words. What they wanted to say next didn't come out and with defeated expressions, both of them bowed again.
"As you wish master." Finally, Ia gathered her courage and spoke. She knew that further arguing would achieve nothing but will make Rowen even angrier than he already is. "Please be safe Junior Brother." She spoke again and then grabbing Winona's hand disappeared from the place.
Rowen could spot tears in their eyes as he looked at them leaving and sighed. He knew that he was going on a dangerous mission and there was a chance that he would not be able to meet them again and that was the reason why he sent them back, as both of them were weakest. And although Dana was weak like them too, she was more intelligent than them. And she might turn useful in dire situations.
While for Veil and Yangie, he didn't really care if they live or die.
