Chapter 462 No mana land IV

"A place that's cut off from the outside world after me and my friends battled the first Shadow General..."

"... and got defeated miserably."

Hubert's expression turned somber as he reminisced about the past. However, he regained his composure when he noticed the pair of green eyes fixated on his face.

Kyle winced when the old man patted his arm and glanced back at the man with purple eyes.

"You both know about the shadow generals, or you want me to go into details? 'Cause I really don't wanna talk about that bastard who betrayed his own kind."

Kyle instinctively shifted away slightly to evade any further pats and nodded.

"I'm well aware."

Hubert let out a thoughtful hum.

"Well, unless you have been living under a rock, it's hard not to be familiar with the shadow generals in this day and age."

He reached out his hand and grabbed Kyle's arm once again.

"Stay put, now that I'm wasting my time here, I might as well do some more good deeds and try to heal your broken bones. I happen to be the only person in this land with a healing ability that works without mana and divine energy."

Immediately, a sensation similar to water spread through Kyle's arms, and he could clearly feel his injuries healing. It wasn't happening at a speed visible to the eye, but the pain was definitely diminishing. He looked at the old man's hand and noticed that Hubert wasn't using any energy... or perhaps he was, but Kyle couldn't quite grasp it because it was very different from mana and divine energy.

Hubert felt Kyle's eyes at his hand, but he brushed it off. It's not like the human would comprehend the spiritual energy of a water dragon. He carried on.

"Just as the name implies, this land is devoid of mana. And not only that, it also lacks divine energy."

"Is there any other way to leave this land? Getting a transcendent rank physique... is not easy. How am I going to leave this land then?"

Hubert rubbed his forehead.

"There is no other way, and I told you to leave my village. Not this land."

He retracted his hand from Kyle's arm and stood up.

"I'm taking off. Just take it easy for now and don't overthink. You need to recover and leave this village as soon as possible. I know you're human, but I don't dislike you. Rather..."

His blue eyes shifted towards the man sitting in the distant chair.

"... I didn't like the person who came with you."

Kyle wanted to ask more questions, but the old man took a few big strides and left the room. He glanced at the old couple, but they also left behind the old man.

He let out a groan.

"Damn it... how the hell am I going to achieve a transcendent rank physique in a land that lacks mana!?"

His ears twitched when a familiar deep voice reached his ears.

"It's not that hard. Moreover, the old dragon didn't give you complete knowledge... maybe he forgot."

Kyle snapped his eyes towards the man sitting in the distance. The man's purple eyes seemed too empty to belong to someone who was trying to give him reassurance. He furrowed his brows.

"Who are you exactly? I don't know you. Why did you say we are friends?"
