Eren walked through the Mountain Range, unable to fly here. Fortunately, his level had grown up quite a lot in the recent months, which also increased his stamina.
Even as he ran through multiple mountains, he wasn't easily exhausted. Moreover, even if he was exhausted, he could use the Dragon Tongue to remove his exhaustion at a minor cost.
Still, even as he traveled as fast as he could, it still took him around a day to reach the Central Mountain. He stood below at the foot of the mountain, looking at the sky that had started to darken.
It had been almost twenty four hours since he entered the Mountain Range, and the time for the second curse of loss to fall upon him.
He wasn't sure what he was going to lose. As long as it wasn't his sight, it didn't obstruct him much. But if it was vision on the first try, then he could only curse his luck.
Looking at his past and the kind of luck he had throughout his life in this world, he had a feeling it couldn't be anything good. He wasn't the son of destiny after all.
Fortunately, he wasn't alone here. He had Yelen with him. Even though she was also affected by the curse of this mountain range, it was almost impossible for two people to lose the same sense. The odds were quite unlikely.
Hence, she could be the guide. Even if that wasn't the case, he had prepared quite a lot of things for that kind of situation.
"Ten..."
Eren started counting as he finally stepped foot on the core mountain, climbing up.
"Nine..."
"Eight...
With each step, he counted the time before the new curse was going to fall upon them.
As long as they were in the mountain range, they could not remove that curse. Only if they left the Mountain of Loss was the curse going to disappear.
"Seven."
"Six."
He placed a finger on his forehead and said, "Seventh Sense."
As he finished, there were minor fluctuations of essence within his body that only he could feel. It was a strange sensation as a map of his surroundings appeared in his mind.
It was strange. He could feel that he wasn't looking with his eyes but an entire new organ. Without being restricted by his eyesight, he was even able to look behind him without having to turn.
There were no colors in the scenery he saw in his mind. It was as if someone had drawn the world in a drawing that didn't hold any color.
He had tried this Dragon Magic Spell before as well, but it was never as accurate. Every time he tried it in the past, his primary urge was to use his eyes which created an interference in this spell.
Now that he couldn't see anything, the accuracy of the spell only increased. It also removed the handicap he received from the first curse.
He was about to tell Yelen to not worry and that he could still observe his surroundings. However, before he could say anything, he felt Yelen wrapping her arm around his arm.
She didn't laugh and make fun of his inability to see. Instead her first thought was to help him in any way possible.
"I can share my vision with you. Even though you can't see yourself, by sharing my vision, you will be able to see everything that I can see," she told Eren, for the first time appearing to be concerned about him.
Even Eren was taken aback by hearing the worry in her tone. At the end of the day, she truly wanted to help him, and not just as a guardian.
Moreover, sharing her vision was also an interesting skill. If he did that, it would be like seeing the world around him from a third person perspective.
It was no different than seeing a character from a different camera angle when playing a game. If he didn't have his mind map skill, then he really would have loved to try that skill.
"I am touched by your concern, but I will be fine," Eren answered as he placed his finger under her chin.
His eyes were silver, appearing completely blank. Still he was able to touch her chin and raise her head.
"You can see?" Yelen was stunned.
"How can I afford to lose my ability to see when I have someone so beautiful around to keep my eyes on?" he asked, making Yelen go red again.
