Chapter 222 Continent



"No, I didn't. He said that I couldn't become his successor because of a few complications."

"You should have taken the chance when you got it. But you must have gained a decent amount from this temple. You can use the pill with an Aura Manual that I have. It isn't one of the best Shadow Element Manuals in the world, but it is better than what you are using," she said with a tone of disappointment.

"Actually, I already have an aura manual. He gave me the Blood Element manual to me."

His response didn't elicit any response for a few seconds. After a little bit of silence, Nefrati asked him a question.

"So, why did you get that manual?"

"Well, he made me his student instead of a successor. So I have the manual and techniques I need for a very long time."

"You are very good at being lucky, Leo. Now, I am assuming that he gave them to you in your mind, so you need to train the technique and change your element. Once you get to a safe place, I can help you with that," she said.

Leo nodded. "I would do that, but I was considering just doing it here. Wouldn't that be pretty safe since there are a lot of beasts outside? I will also need to consider how I will get back to a city since the trip back will be very long and filled with Magical Beasts," he said.

"No. This space is very close to crumbling down and evicting you. So you need to put on the necklace and leave," she said.

He looked around and realized there were hints of what she said. The walls were still in place, but the ceiling had signs of cracks and the small amount of aura inside the room was slowly disappearing.

The necklace was still inside the chest, so he grabbed it. As he threw it around his neck, the space around him morphed. The walls disappeared and were replaced by a swirling red aura. This was a very familiar experience for him since he had gone through it to get into the temple.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm This time, he didn't black out. He was completely aware of the turns he went through as the aura carried him to the surface. It took him ten minutes to finally get to the surface. Once h reached the top, he was spit out by the red hand that grabbed him in the first place. The hand sunk back into the ground, leaving him on his back in the middle of the clearing of the forest.

He wasn't sure if the journey was long because the temple was so deeply nested in the ground. It was probably because the Blood God didn't want someone to be digging down to find it. He might have made the journey so long that it would be very hard to pinpoint exactly where the temple was to dig it out.

Once he stopped thinking about it, he looked around. It was very early in the morning and the sun was just rising. This didn't matter to the forest since there would probably be some Magical Beast or the other prancing around.

As he thought that, he noticed that there were a few beasts slowly approaching him. They were only a few 2nd Circle Magical Beasts, so he let out his magic. The magic he released scared off the beasts, but that didn't mean he could stay there.

If he was this deep inside the forest, then he could encounter a 5th Circle Magical Beast. He had seen one on the way but it was under the effects of the Blood Moon. Since it was too agitated, it didn't have the intelligence someone of that power would typically have.I think you should take a look at

However, it was now the start of the day and it would be able to pluck him off the sky as easily as plucking a fruit from a plant. This meant he would need to be fast. He couldn't alter his route since that would make him completely lost, so he would definitely encounter the 5th Circle Magical Beast on the way.

He rose into the air and shot toward the marking he made. As he flew high up, he was able to see the signs of uprooted trees in the distance. When he got closer, he saw the charred ground and a dozen blasted trees in the area.

"Good. Now I just need to go North from here," he said. Based on the sun that just rose, he faced the north direction and started flying. This time, his flight wasn't as boring as before since he had someone to converse with.

"So, why do you care so much about me, Nefrati? You just need me to be alive, but you seem to be so focused on making me as strong as possible." He asked her.

She took a minute to think before answering.

"I want to make you strong because you would owe me a favor. If I made you the strongest Aura Knight on this continent, or at least helped you in that process, you will be able to help me get back to my former strength. Otherwise, I will be in danger once I get my body," she said.

Her response wasn't what surprised him. He expected something on that line. However, what she said at the end made him narrow his eyes.

"This continent? So you also know that there is another continent apart from this one?"

"Yes. Everyone with power in my era knew that there was another continent superior to our own. It is much larger and has so many resources that the powers there would be able to conquer us without any trouble. However, they simply don't because it isn't worth it for them and we have a few deterrents," she said.

"And who are those deterrents?" He asked with curiosity.

"Well, the Blood God was definitely one in his era. He was probably as strong as the strongest in their continent as well, so he would cause them a huge amount of losses. And in my era, we had a number of 10th Circle Aura Knights and a few 11th Circle Aura Knights as well, so we would be hard to win against without substantial losses.

Of course, if more than one power came together then we would be wiped out, but no power would create an alliance for our continent," she answered his question.

This made him think. The Solarian Empire was just on one continent while there was a whole new world out there that he could explore. That meant that he wouldn't necessarily need to stay in such a horrible place. The only problem was that he was anchored there by a few of his friends.

"Then how do you not know about magic? Apparently, it is from the other continent?" He asked her.

"Oh, I only know that they are strong. The information we have is passed down from our ancestors based on them risking their lives and going to that continent. They weren't able to find out much about the language they speak or the power they use. All we know is that you need to be very strong if you want to go there and survive. At least a 7th Circle Aura Knight."
