Book 4: Chapter 70: Plan

Scarlet

It doesnt take me long to find the information Im looking for. Even with the magical items Ive gotta get used to using that term again since were on Tartarus covering some buildings with magic to enchant them against eavesdropping.

Good thing my hearing is just that good.

Humble, arent we? Tar comments, sounding amused.

If its true, then yeah.

He snorts as I stand up from my place sitting at the edge of a buildings roof.

I glance at my arm where my terminal was before coming here, slightly lamenting the fact that it had somehow vanished right as I was being pushed through the Gate. Although somehow is a relative term considering it was obvious what happened.

Black most likely took it.

Then again, thats better than him just pushing me through the Gate with it on, because I would rather not have had to deal with an exploding device strapped to my arm just due to coming to Tartarus.

Im guessing he probably searched me with magic for any other pieces of technology or stuff that would blow up on Tartarus before he sent me through. Or at least he better have. Otherwise I wouldve been pretty pissed off at him.

Well, if I had anything on me that is. I dont really carry much stuff around me most of the time.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Just my clothes obviously and my terminal. Theres not really much else that I need.

Aside from my identification papers and other stuff like that, but those are stored safely in my spatial pocket, and even if they werent, paper exists on Tartarus too. So its not a problem.

Still would be nice if he didnt just push me here like that.

As I walk into the city street and towards the gate though, I ponder over the nuisance that is traversing the ocean to get to the Southwestern continent. Because that will be a major pain.

Are you planning on going through the Demon Kings central continent or through the Southeastern continent? Tar asks, making me grimace at the thought of ever going to the Southeastern continent.

I think I should go through the outskirts of the central continent, because the Southeastern continent is ruled by the Mindeaters, and just because theyre asleep doesnt mean they dont know exactly whats going on throughout their continent. So Ill probably be found right away by the Devourer if I go there. They are mental magic users after all, and Id stand no chance against some of the peak Class IV demons there just because of that.

Stupid mental magic weakness.

And I cant go to the Bloody Duchy for obvious reasons.

Your father, Tar states the obvious.

Yep. That and I dont know how I would even get up to the floating islands in the first place.

I dont think I can jump that high, and they have enchantments covering every inch of the islands that would detect me the moment I tried.

So the central continent it is. Meaning Ill be passing through the Battlefield of Blood and Ruin again. And probably seeing Gramps along the way, but considering how he is Id be shocked if he didnt come by to pay me a visit no matter where I go.

At least youll get in some training at the battlefield, Tar points out, making me smile slightly at that.

Earths frontlines were the best place for me to train against low level Class IVs and Class IIIs of all level, but the Battlefield of Blood and Ruin is still the best place to go for training against high level Class IVs and Class Vs in general.

As long as Im careful not to let a Class V annihilate me right off the bat.

I continue through the city until I make it to the gate, pay my toll, and leave, heading to the Southwest in the hopes that I make it to the coast without trouble.

Which probably wont happen.
