Fein and Voli were lying down on the ground, The back of Fein's head was lying on the soft tummy of Voli treating it as a cushion.
A black spot appeared in the sky. An icy blue eagle was flying toward them, a familiar female silhouette appeared in Fein's view.
'It seems it didn't go that smoothly'
With his enhanced vision, he can see even the slightest details. As the minute goes by, Aoi became bigger from the initial small dot. Now, Fein was sure that something must happen because Sofia's complexion isn't good.
Sofia was paler than before, and her hands were shaking indicating her current nervousness. As she looked at me, I felt her breathing became slightly slower.
Sofia jumped off at the back of Aoi and hurriedly ran to me.
"Fein!" Sofia shouted as she stopped beside me with bated breath.
"Calm down, what happened?" Fein asked Sofia while squinting his eyes.
Sofia gradually calmed down and says "It's the dessert, there's an evil god there"
Sofia narrated what she witnessed in the desert and describe the evil appearance of the evil god. She also included the near life-death experience where she encountered multiple monsters that are hiding under the soil.
After hearing Sofia's description of the danger the secret realm possesses, he touched his chin as he pace out. If what Sofia said was true then he truly underestimated the desert.
Thinking of this, as a smirk was formed on his face, isn't this basically a free exp? A pie that falls in the sky. Although there's a danger involved. He was prepared. This time he won't dilly dally any more. He would grind all day as if his life depends on it! As for the supposed evil god that Sofia describes... Well, it's better to run immediately when facing that.
Although Fein isn't really worried that he can't escape. He has a soul defense, the crazy defense Ryujin armor provides him. And the Ghecko Substitution that would let him reposition and escape at any time.
"Let's go, time don't wait for anyone," Fein smiled at Sofia.
Looking at his excitement, Sofia was confused. He thought that Fein would retreat if he heard her perilous encounters. But why is he excited?
'Perhaps he's a battle maniac?' Sofia found it hard to believe that the always indifferent and calm person would turn out to be like this.
Looking at Sofia that was looking at him weirdly, he knew that thought was going through her mind. But he didn't explain himself. After all, if he told him that he likes to fight to get exp and be stronger. Would he believe him?
"Okay let's go..." Sofia decided to ignore this. After all, geniuses have their own quirks and eccentricity.
,m Furthermore, those who like battle are the ones who had the most chance to grow stronger fast. Although training is important, honing yourself in the face of life and death is more reliable.
Sofia glanced at Voli and Fein before saying "Then let's ride Aoi"
"Okay," Fein agreed.
The size of Aoi is big enough to carry them. As a matter of fact, there's still a lot of space even after they ride.
The three of them hopped on Aoi's back. After everything was taken care of, Aoi slowly flapped her wings and stater flying. Every flap of her wings would generate wind strong enough to sway nearby trees.
*Boom*
Aoi instantly accelerate her pace, the speed had broken the sound barrier, at her maximum speed, Aoi can reach the speed of Mach 6. Fein and his friends were protected by a white-bluish barrier. This barrier prevents them from being hurt by the wind current that due to speed became sharp enough to divide a regular person's body.
Seeing the desert getting nearer, Sofia who was beside Voli clenched her fist, as she sweated furiously due to the nervousness that she was currently feeling. If allowed, she won't dare to come back to that darned place. But, she already decided from the start. There's no backing anymore, and she felt that with Fein accompanying her. The danger would be minimized because she knew how many inexplicable means Fein have.
Suddenly a warm hand patted her shoulders. Sofia looked at Fein who was smiling at her trying to reassure her.
"Don't worry, with our team line up, there's only a few dangers that we can't face"
Sofia shook her head. "I'm not worried about that, I'm just scared at the Evil's god disgusting appearance. It was literally a mix of body parts.
Touching her hand, she felt the acid on her stomach churn. She would really vomit if she saw that bastard again.
"It's just appearance, you can even make sure if that was a real entity or a monster that was an expert at using illusion," Fein said nonchalantly. "Otherwise it had already chased you when you were escaping. Like why the fuck does that monster just watch you leave? There's still a lot of doubts."
Hearing Fein's reasonable judgment. Sofia was convinced. Really, why did it just watch her leave? At least an Evil god would leave a curse on her right? Or she should at least become dizzy. She had a lot of information about high-level entities. And the common info was, you can't look at them. Because they exist at a higher frequency that mortals can't comprehend, it would overload their brains with too much information. It would result in a headache or at worst death as their brain bursts from the high vibration.
The info about higher entities is too limited. That's why Fein's conjecture isn't baseless.
Sofia felt reassured after understanding this. After all, an evil god existing in the lower realm is a bit exaggerated.
"But..."
"What but?" Sofia asked.
Fein looked at Sofia and put his hand on his back pretending to be a mysterious expert.
"Because caution is the mother of safety"
Sofia looked at Fein like she was looking at an idiot. Isn't that obvious already? His trolling her again no doubt.
"You meanie" Sofia puffed her cheeks and ignored Fein to focus on the scenery
Fein "..."
