Chapter 311 Worlds Apart

Chapter 311 Worlds Apart

His words did not make any sense to Northern, smoking a volcano?

'How's that even supposed to work?' Northern thought.

"I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth."

Northern stared at him and folded his arms,

"Not that I doubt the integrity of your words, not that I trust them also, I am just trying to picture a monster smoking from a volcano."

Cal raised his head a little bit,

"A monster?"

Northern nodded in response,

"Isn't that the case? A monster much more ferocious than these White Walkers..."

A giggle escaped Cal's mouth; as much as he was trying to hold it, he just couldn't. The way Northern spoke so casually about Sura made him want to laugh so much.

If only he knew, if only he had seen...

Northern glared at Cal, finding nothing he had said funny. The strange guy ended his laughter abruptly and coughed it away.

"Don't mind me, it's just that... you think Sura is a monster and I would probably have thought so too if he wasn't the first thing I encountered in this rift. But no, Northern, Sura is not a monster, at least not by appearance. He looks just like you and I. And I'm guessing so does his brother." RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

He completed with his gaze falling on the snow mountain that trembled moments ago.

Northern frowned immediately, tracing Cal's gaze just now.

His head turned two to three times to and fro.

"Wait, wait, what are you looking towards that place for?"

Cal raised his brows, observing Northern's expression before he intoned:

"Sura's twin, a pillar of heat and fire lives in this region, while Sura, a pillar of cold and ice lives in the volcanic region, thrown far east, if you follow the spectral light you are bound to get to him."

Northern's eyes widened for a moment, Cal observing him for more passing seconds.

"You really didn't know."

He grimaced,

"Of course, I didn't. Raven, my partner, she's probably beneath that mountain right now."

He quickly turned to move but was held back by Cal before he could take a step.

Northern turned his head back with a furious glare.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Cal breathed in deeply,

"Look, up until now, I have observed you and no doubt about it, you are strong, I have seen Sura's power, if his brother is as strong as he is then you have no chance at all."

Northern turned, nodded his head slightly and gently removed Cal's grip on his arm then replied:

"I appreciate your concern but I can't turn my back on my partner just because the opponent is strong. Besides, how are we supposed to get the core of the rift when we are running away from the guardian."

Cal scratched his cheek a little bit, suddenly, to Northern, he seemed like Shin whenever he was hiding something.

He breathed slowly and said, his voice carrying a somewhat threatening tone.

"After all I told you, you still want to go?"

Northern scowled back at him,

"All you've told me points to the fact that there's no way forward except we go."

"At least first with the boy's sister. And I advise we deal with Sura, I already have a plan."

Northern looked at him carefully, then he said:

"Well yes, but I'm not going anywhere without my partner."

"Argh, damnit, are you going to be stubborn till the end? Your partner went there with her own two legs, didn't she?"

"Yes, so? Are you saying I should abandon her?"

"Look... we can't kill Sura's brother yet. And you certainly can't fight him without making sure you strike not to kill, you are not strong enough for that. This is honoring your partner, I think it's best we go take the girl as fast as we can..."

"As fast as we can? How far is this region and are the Red Walkers just going to let us walk in and grab the girl? And I'm very sure the moment you step into that place, Sura would come for you, if he's out for your head as you said. So tell me Cal, what do you mean by AS FAST AS WE CAN...?"

Cal was silent for a couple of seconds.

Northern added,

"Are you trying to trick me Cal? Because I really hate it when someone is playing smart with me?"

Cal hesitated, swallowed his spit and said:

"I'm not trying to trick you. Look, I just want to get out of the rift and I don't care what I have to give to achieve that. You have no idea how long I've been here and how much I've had to endure so far."

Northern cast a sympathetic gaze on him. He nodded.

"I might have no idea, but as a person that has been through similar, I can picture the pain and frustration, however, Cal, I can't abandon my partner, under any circumstance. I understand if you have to do what you must and put yourself first, I also will act accordingly."

His gaze towards Cal was cold and the calmness of his expression was incredibly frightening.

Cal scoffed, tilting his head back a little with his eyes fixated on Northern's.

"Then, you will let me take the boy?"

Northern shook his head,

"I have no intention of doing that, since I don't trust you."

Cal scowled again.

"Then I have to take it by force..."

Northern looked at him fiercely,

"I suppose... but you'd have to kill me to be able to do that, can you?"

Cal let out a short giggle.

"I really hated that we had to go down this path..." He slowly moved his hands towards his sword.

Northern nodded with a solemn smile.

"Yes, let's blame our differences."
