Chapter 257: You Ready To Go Infiltrate The Nightmare Council?

...

|Mhmm~|

Boundless woke up with a lethargic look on her face as she took a cursory glance around. And the first thing she noticed was...

"Yo, sleepy head~"

Azmond had already found his way back to the 'camp' he set up, as he wanted to be there right when the sleeping beauty woke up.

|Azmond!| Boundless jumped up and swung herself around his neck before eventually landing face-to-face with him.

And that was when it hit her!

All the things that she and he had done over the past day came back to her like a tempest of memories.

|Mhmm|

And such an abrupt recollection put a deep blush on that flawless face of hersa blush that Azmond noticed right away as he grabbed her by her round ass and brought her to eye level.

"You are mine now, Boundless~ You understand that, don't you~?"

He spoke such honeyed words with a growing obsession building inside of his eyes.

Azmond proved time and time again just how much of a yandere he was

|I have been yours since the beginning, Azmond| Boundless muttered under her breath.

Her beautiful eyes glanced down a little as she found it exceedingly difficult to hold up an intense stare with Azmond.

"That is not what I meant by 'mine', My Love~," Azmond began with a tighter grip on her ass. "You are 'mine' in every sense of the word, not just as my system," he ended with a serious expression.

And it was his seriousness that put an even deeper blush on Boundless's cheeks. She couldn't take so much genuine emotion with a straight face!

|Hehe~...|

Her body had made its way around the backside of Azmond during their journeyand it was such positioning that led to kicking her legs up and down while slamming those two milky jugs on top of his back!

"Yeah, we're almost there," Azmond responded with a kind tone.

|Really!?|

Boundless couldn't believe her ears! Usually that baka would reply with something like 'No', 'Nah', or just straight up ignore her!

Finally, she was getting some appreciation for all her 'hard work'!

|Yay! How long!?| Boundless asked with a wide smile.

"Right now, actually."

|!?|

Following Azmond's words, there was a sudden change in scenery as the crystal world they came from turned into a red-colored landscape. And the only thing present in this new 'red landscape' was a humongous staircase-like plot of land that stretched out over the entire red world.

After a few seconds of observation, they quickly realized that this 'staircase world' was made up of the same iridescent material as the rest of the 'Heart of the Great Wildlands Forest', with the only difference being that it appeared to have been artificially altered from its original translucent hue to an almost blood-colored hue.

The staircase itself was made up of 20 steps, with most of the steps being out of Azmond's divine sense range. And that was because each of the steps was absolutely massive!

Every single one of them had to extend outward for tens of thousands of miles, and they seemed to get bigger and larger the further you made it up!

This 'blood staircase world' wasn't simply out in the open either, as it lay behind a thin veil that acted like an impermeable veneer that shielded this wondrous place from the rest of the world.

The steps on the staircase were decorated quite lavishly, as ostentatious and opulent dark-red vines and lamp lights, along with tens of millions of odd-looking structures, populated the first two stairsthose stairs being the only stairs Azmond could see with his limited cultivation base.

|This place is so pretty!| Boundless exclaimed.

|Everything looks like a pretty ruby here! Do you think we can go and carve out some of this place, Azmond!? Pretty please!?|

Her eyes practically had stars inside them as she gawked at all the picturesque scenery that surrounded them. They had not yet entered the 'Luminous Grounds of the Nightmare Council', and yet she had already become fascinated by everything she saw!
