Chapter 471 Inside The Legacy Land (Part 2)



A few moments earlier, though everything went blank for Daimon in the sense that he couldn't see what was happening, he still had sixth sense and his instincts which combined allowed him to realize what was happening.

With his eyes closed, Daimon focused all his other senses and a mental image of his surroundings was formed, first of all he noticed that his body was surrounded by the same white ray that transported Jasmine earlier.

It was that white ray what was preventing him from seeing, as it covered his body including his eyes, unfortunately for whoever set things to be this way, the senses of an Apex Predator aren't that easy to block.

What surrounded Daimon was a dimensional tunnel, one which was different than the normal ones, because unlike any other dimensional tunnel in which Daimon has been so far, there was more than space here.

There was debris floating everywhere, some were simple pieces of broken rock, but there were also some pieces of metal here and there, why would that draw Daimon's attention you might wonder.

The answer is simple, that metal looked rather familiar, as in the material from which the Flying Citadel appears to be completely made off.

Which is surprising by itself, but when you add the fact that this white ray was configurated to blind him, it becomes more than a coincidence.

"What the...", Daimon who was paying too much attention to what was outside of the white light covering him, suddenly felt a strange sensation on his lower body.

He changed his focus to his waist and legs, and to his surprise, there, tightly holding onto him was the crazy girl Sarah, despite the fact that she shouldn't be able to see a thing right now, she had such an expression of delight on her face that it was hard to believe.

Luckily, though they were isolated from the outside, she was holding onto him so they could at least talk to each other.

"What the hell are you doing here?", asked Daimon, to which Sarah giggled as she tightened her grip on him.

"You seemed distracted to I tried and was finally able to caught you~", she said.

Daimon was speechless for a moment, certainly back then he put all his focus on Jasmine, he was one step late and though he activated Core Synchrony, is the milliseconds he has he only managed to look at Aisha and send her a message.

'I can't believe she actually came here by accident just because she jumped onto me...', thought Daimon, seeing her proud smiling expression made Daimon feel the urge to throw her to the outer space of the dimensional tunnel, but as if the universe itself was helping her, he caught a glimpse of the exit of the tunnel, meaning they were reaching their destination.

Against all his wishes, Daimon could only say.

"Hang on, we are about to leave this place", naturally Sarah didn't need to hear it twice, both her arms and legs were wrapped around Daimon's lower body, with her full strength as a middle stage Knight Lord.

Daimon stopped paying her attention, and a few seconds later they were finally out of the dimensional tunnel, as if it was planned to be like this, the white ray dissipated and vision returned to Daimon and Sarah's eyes.

What appeared in front of Daimon was... sky, the dimensional tunnel actually threw them out around three hundred meters into the air.

Daimon chuckled, and then he looked at the barrier which previously tried to prevent him from looking at was what at its other side, unfortunately in front of his infinity eyes, it was futile.

At the other side of the barrier which was cracking right now, there lied a vast wasteland that extended far from Daimon's range, what was more shocking is the fact that outside of the barrier there was nothing on the sky, but inside there was a "sun".

"So, this place is like the one in which old Vincent had to pass the test to obtain his complete emblem, a space with its own rules", said Daimon.

If that was the case then it made sense that the landscape was a wasteland, the lineage that the hero owned was the Black Armored Shark's one, in other words it was the one of an aquatic magic beast.

In other words, this place was created to challenge whoever had inherited the Black Armored Shark's lineage, which if Daimon hadn't stepped in, ultimately stealing the origin of it, from the Blackfin Duke, would have been Adam.

Daimon smirked, this little trick would have worked if he was limited to use one lineage at the time, like the Hydra Guy, who besides when using that eight-snake headed form, had to use his lineages separately according to Thalia's notes.

But that didn't work against him, because all the lineages he possess are part of his own, he doesn't need to change them to use them, and can access to all their abilities and properties without doing anything.

A fundamental impossibility since that would mean, his main lineage is strong enough to contain all the others, and yet that was his case, because that unknown lineage which stood at the top of the list in the screen of the Lineage Temple, was positioned even above the Apex Predator one.

Also, he has both fire and also water affinities at the same time, so even if he was brought to a desertic zone like this, he won't be at disadvantage.

After a couple of seconds, a large piece of the barrier shattered revealing an entrance to that wasteland ahead of them.

'I'll make a transportation mean in a moment', said Rita directly to Daimon, that's right, she managed to come by hiding in Daimon's shadow.

'No need, I didn't feel anything outside of that barrier, but I'm pretty sure we'll be observed once we are inside, your presence is one of my trump cards, so I'll play along with the challenge, keep your mana for emergencies, but you can use your mana sense to look ahead for me, limit it to the point where you are sure you won't be noticed even by Maximum Stellar ranks', said Daimon.

Leaving aside the fact that Rita was now smiling from ear to ear over the words, "you are on of my trump cards", she understood Daimon's reasoning, unlike him who had some ways to recover to full, she would have to take mana potions and their efficiency isn't enough to bring her to her best condition and who knows what is waiting for them after all.

'Leave it to me', she answered.

"Jasmine should be in that direction, don't be left behind", said Daimon as he entered the barrier, and then started running towards northeast.

"Heh, I could chase you around for days without getting tired, but first we have to find Jas", jokingly said Sarah, with a single jump she arrived at where Daimon was and then they both rushed in the same direction, she is a half Nethereal after all, her body is innately strong to begin with, and as a knight that is amplified even more.

Inside of the barrier, not only the landscape changed, the moment Daimon set a foot inside of it, the temperature went up like crazy, even for a desertic area in a rough calculation it should be around 120° C, which is crazy for a place that has no abundance in fire mana.

It means that it's the natural temperature of this place, if the base is that high, then when mana gets involved, the effect will be stronger, that's how thing worked in the nature of this world of magic, mana acts as an amplifier, which means that cold places get colder and hot places get hotter.

'Young master three kilometers ahead, I see a small town and I can sense some signs of life coming from it, there is also a large number of magic beasts in the vicinity which seem to be coming towards us on purpose, their ranks go from the eight star to the mid Lord rank, around a hundred of them, there is also some people that seem to be running away from them', said Rita.

Daimon nodded and then turned to see Sarah.

"Enemies ahead, prepare for a battle".

"Mm~", Sarah's eyes glowed, she has been doing nothing but playing and meditating lately, so her fists were aching, knights do tend to enjoy battle more than mages, and Nethereals are also fierce by nature, now add up a bit of craziness and you have Sarah's current mood.
