The Eastern Continent shared a large border with the Western Continent which was divided by only a wide river running between them.
The two continents shared the same distance of border with the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent as well.
The Battleship of the Great Demon Sect, carrying three Elders and their Youngest Disciples, was supposed to cross into the Western Continent from a point that was much closer to the Northern Continent.
This route was chosen as it was the fastest route to reach their destination.
Unlike the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent didn't have any conflict with the Northern Continent so they felt no need to change the route.
As the Battleship of the Great Demon Sect reached near the river of separation, they noticed the battleships of the Holy Empire on the other side of the river.
"Are they here to escort us?" Elder Zhang wondered, looking at the ships in the distance. She could feel that something wasn't right.
Why did they need to send so many ships to escort them? Something didn't add up. Still, she didn't jump to conclusions. She didn't realize that it was going to be the biggest mistake of her life.
....
A few days later~
Eren was sitting on the back of a Merchant Ship that was going towards the Western Continent from the Southern Continent.
The Ship was grand, being no different than a floating palace in the air. Although it wasn't as weaponized as the BattleShips of the Overlords, it still had means to protect itself from ordinary bandits along the way.
Still, more than attacks, the Merchant Ships focused more on luxury and grandeur along with efficiency.
He asked Aster to tell him about everything that happened after he came to this world, trying to see if Aster met the author or not.
Even after Aster explained everything, there was no mention of any author, making it evident that he hadn't reached the point of meeting.
Eren even asked him what kind of review he had left on the book.
To the question, Aster scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.
After a brief pause, he answered, "I left the review before reading the book."
"My review was, 'I haven't read the book but looking at the synopsis, I'm sure I'm going to live it. I will update the review once I have read enough. Five stars for now!'"
Hearing the person's review, Eren's lips twitched uncontrollably. He didn't even know how to respond. This person left the review without even reading the book? And even if he left a review, it was five stars. So why was he dragged here?
As Aster finished explaining, he also appeared slightly disappointed that he couldn't keep his promise of updating the review as he fell asleep after reading just twenty chapters, only to wake up here.
Even after Eren finished interrogating Aster, there wasn't anything useful he could find. Aster didn't even seem to remember any character like the prophet that was possessed by another Transmigrator from earth.
In the end, Eren could only give up on using Aster's knowledge of the book. It was more useful to have him as just a Hero who could understand what kind of world this actually was.
Eren left the shared room, seemingly disappointed. He walked over to the deck to get some fresh air when he suddenly heard a commotion.
Quite a lot of people on the Merchant Ship were talking about the same incident that seemingly involved two continents.
It took some time for the news to reach the Merchant Ship but as per the information, the Great Demon Sect had sent a delegation to the Western Continent which was attacked and killed by the Necromancer Tower before they could even cross the border.
