Chapter 378: Hippocrotee
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Different floating islands were connected by iron chains which also served as traffic routes. They were guarded by sentries. However, all the protections were pointless to Angor and Shadow.
They traveled through the “island network” which appeared like a spider web and headed to its center, where the “biggest spider”—Hippocrotee—was.
They finally reached their destination when the sky was painted by dusk.
However, they didn’t get to take many steps on the central island because Angor suddenly knelt down due to a sudden strange feeling that overwhelmed his body.
It was an indescribable pain that came straight from the depth of his soul.
The pain surpassed everything else there was. Angor couldn’t do anything but to struggle on the ground helplessly, and without the mana support, his Infinite Reticence broke down as well.
This was what Shadow saw when Angor’s body re-appeared under the dusk light.
He looked at the temple in the distance and forced himself into giving up the idea of adventuring further.
Something suddenly chirped from inside his pocket. Toby, who had been sleeping all day long, began to flutter toward the mountain peak with his eyes closed.
Angor jumped and immediately dragged Toby back.
Also, the more he tried to stay away from the mountain, the more Toby would try to fly away. And the bird never responded to Angor’s calls, which meant he was still sleeping.
“What’s the deal with that temple?”
Angor tried moving forward again, but Toby only became more and more active in his hand.
In the meantime, his instinct of “wanting” to check out the strange energy was getting stronger.
When he moved to the middle of the mountain slope, Toby suddenly stopped moving and quieted down again.
And Angor decided to stop as well. He wasn’t going any further. Not before he learned what was hidden inside the temple.
He found a relatively concealed spot and sat down. He then listened to the holy chant as he continued to observe Toby’s condition.
Everything on Toby seemed fine. When he cast Heal and received no injury feedback, Angor quickly suppressed his anxiety.
He was getting a little scared of the temple too. He didn’t know about any law generated in a Sorcerer’s Garden that could attract Toby like that.
Or was this place a Sorcerer’s Garden at all?
“You good over there?” Shadow’s voice came from the Spirit Bond.
“I think I just found the source of the power, but I don’t know if it’s the law of the garden,” Angor said. He considered his words before he added, “It’s inside the temple of the Grand Priest. What about you?”
Shadow suddenly snickered. “Oh, I have something really interesting. Do you want to take a look?”
“Something interesting?”
“A magic array which covers the entire Hippocrotee. Sounds good enough?”
