Chapter 734 - Specter Basin
There was a particularly beautiful island at Summerdew Ridge, which was entirely constructed into a flower garden.
A charming lady with violet hair and a pair of black feather wings slowly descended among the fireflies inside the garden. When she touched the ground, her wings slowly melted and returned to being ordinary arms, while her sharp talons became human feet. She took a moment to bound up her hair, which was messed by the wind, before heading toward an ancient-looking castle in the middle of the garden.
Another woman in the garden stopped her before she could reach her destination. This one was a beautiful, old-fashioned lady wearing a luxuriously decorated skirt. Her face looked absolutely stunning, except that there were many small scars scattered around her cheeks.
“The master is speaking to a guest, Swan. No one is allowed inside the castle right now. You can tell me if you have a message to deliver.”
Swan went down on one knee and kissed the lady in front of her on the foot. “Lady Paye, my Wizard Eye detected energy explosions coming from Death Loop. I checked and found traces of a battle over there.”
“Someone was fighting at Death Loop?”
“My inspection spell suggested that it was an illusionist fighting against another group. But it ended pretty fast. The grim jellyfish in the water are feeding on several corpses. I think they are rogue apprentices from the Centipede Guild.”
“Centipede Guild… why did they leave their sewers and show up here? Are they possibly after ‘that’ as well?”
However, the way back didn’t remain peaceful. A giant vortex suddenly blocked their path.
Immediately, Erwin told the helmsman to change direction. Such vortexes were even deadlier compared to storms and giant tides since falling into them was usually a guaranteed death.
“It’s getting bigger too. Do a full turnabout so that we don’t get dragged into it!”
After Erwin commanded The Limpet to retreat toward the opposite direction, they soon saw the small island that trapped them a moment ago.
They sailed past the island and were looking for a way to go around the dangerous area when another island appeared in their view.
The most obvious choice was to change direction again and avoid this island, but the chaotic and violent energy signatures coming from the island suddenly attracted Angor’s attention.
