Chapter 686 Hunt Plan
While events that would change the continent's history forever were unfolding at the hands of Damien Bloodthorne, several weeks had passed since Vicente and his party passed through the capital of the Kingdom of Aldoria.
In those weeks, they encountered more beasts along the way. But the beasts weren't as chaotic as some of their opponents had been between their passage through Chutha Dynastia and the Kingdom of Aldoria.
The Seven-Day Tsunami was over. And even though the magical beings would continue to be affected by the phenomenon for some time after those days, their strength and restlessness diminished with each passing day.
Weeks after The Seven-Day Tsunami, all the magical beings on the continent had returned to normal.
There were still many magical creatures, especially monsters, in the south of the continent. They wanted to stay away from the northern region in the short term, even though they were no longer so worried about the effects of The Seven-Day Tsunami.
Therefore, instead of encountering fewer of these creatures, Vicente encountered more and more groups of monsters on his journey north.
His group had fought ten times in the Kingdom of Aldoria, but with Lina's innate foresight, they had faced each enemy with relative peace of mind.
Even though they had encountered groups composed mostly of late 4th stage creatures, they had successfully eliminated the problems in their path until they reached the border between the Kingdom of Aldoria and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.
After crossing the border between the two kingdoms without a hitch, the group was finally on its way to the area of its first hunt.
...
According to the information Vicente had received from the Seidel family, there were two places in the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn where his group could hunt for pentagrams and cultivation opportunities.
The first was Crystal Creek Falls, a mountainous region full of waterfalls and rivers in the central part of the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. The second was on the northwestern border of that state, a place called the Hot Wasteland.
"What do you mean?" Vicente asked in a worried tone.
Lina explained. "I think something bad is about to happen. My ability isn't that precise when it comes to things far in the future. So sometimes I just get a feeling.
For the last six days, I've been feeling a bad feeling growing inside of me. I have a feeling that we will be in mortal danger before or shortly after the hunt for Casey's pentagram."
"Can you give me more details?" Vicente turned serious, having already been helped by Lina's abilities a few times on this journey.
"Not yet. But when we go hunting for his pentagram, I'll have a better chance to understand the danger behind this feeling."
"All right. Keep an eye on it for me." Vicente commented before answering her. "But this feeling of yours is probably normal. We're getting further and further north of the continent, and the purification must already be showing its results.
I expected to face mortal dangers on our journey. But I'll try to be more vigilant from now on."
"Hmm, I'll do the same." She said before turning her attention to the surroundings.
Vicente, on the other hand, soon closed his eyes and meditated to regain his energy and further improve his elemental affinity. He was already at the absolute peak of the 4th stage. All he needed to reach the 5th stage was understanding.
He could achieve this through meditation, special resources, or his next pentagram!
Meanwhile, his first pentagram was beginning to show green lines on itself, while the second pentagram hadn't changed that much.
Even though his first pentagram had evolved more often, it was natural for it to grow faster at first because it was of lower quality at first. But as it became more compatible with Vicente's other pentagrams, its rate of evolution would slow down.
Vicente and his group would stay there for a day until the next day when they would move on to Casey's area of interest, where they would arrive after a little over a week of travel!
