Chapter 4026: Hard To Control
'I think this is enough,' I said to myself and stopped.
A second later, the changes began to happen to me, and a few minutes later. I am a thin tall man, with blue skin and grey hair with falchion as the weapon.
With that, I flew into the afternoon sky.
It had been over three days since, I left the castle area and I think, I had far enough that nobody would suspect me.
I have been far too cautious. I would have been fine, if I did it yesterday, but decided to be cautious.
I do not regret it. A day is nothing compared to the trouble of being found out.
As I reached the sky, I flew toward my destination straight. My speed is the fastest I had used in the real; I don't care now if somebody found me.
I am far enough, that people can't come in groups.
They could have a near castle where their numbers were dense.
They are not here, giving me quiet freedom.
It is the first time, since I began my journey three days ago, that I am not sensing any Sky Sovereign around me. My soul waves have spread far and wide but didn't pick a single Sky Sovereign.
I don't like it when people aren't around me, but now, after three days, people are at me in every nook and cranny, I am liking this silence.
I even slowed down my speed a little to enjoy it.
Around an hour and a half passed, when I finally sensed a person. They are far away, but familiar.
They were inside the castle with me. If I am right, their rank was sixty-six. She had chosen a method; a defensive method of soul.
It was on my list. If I had more points, I would have brought it.
Soon, she disappeared from my soul wave and for the next twenty-eight minutes, there was no one, till the two appeared in my soul sense.
They seemed to be fighting. I didn't much care; I didn't even look in their direction.
A few minutes passed when I stopped, as I sensed the monster in my direction.
A few seconds later, the monster was just a few meters away. Tried to smell it, but it didn't
find anything after over a minute of trying, walked away.
I heaved a sigh of relief and continued collecting the resources.
Hours passed, and I came across many such monsters, but I was able to hide from each of them.
Currently, it is night, and energy is dangerously dense. Most of the monsters have disappeared, leaving only the dangerous ones.
I stayed away from them. Even when I sensed they had the resources I needed near them.
I do not have any intention of provoking any monster.
There are too many of them in this small area. Even sealing the battlefield might not work; it is the main reason; I am hesitant to fight, despite wanting to.
If it had been a big forest with each monster lording over a large area.
I would love nothing more than to fight against them, but here, I rather not. If any monster discovers me; I will hide in my abode than fight it.
Soon it was midnight, and the energy became so dense. That is the only reason I am even alive
in armor.
I have created a three-layer of string armor. This is wise because the energy was able to breach through the first layer of defense. It had happened after a long time.
It is extremely dangerous, but the resources I am getting are very rare.
These resources could only be harvested at night after the purity of energy reached a certain
dense.
Many of those resources are used to me and I didn't hesitate to harvest them. Even going a little closer to monster territories, which I said earlier, that I will not do.
Greed sometimes is really hard to control.
