Chapter 1401 - The Bottomless Land (1/2)

Sure enough… it was just a farce.

Hackzord floated in midair and surveyed the north sea.

For a few days, Hackzord followed the Land of Dawn’s coastline and searched for hundreds of kilometers, including both ends of the continent’s ridge and the mountains that accompanied them.

As the letter did not mention much, he searched every nook and cranny, every possible place that he could venture into for the sake of not missing out on the fabled Bottomless Land. He only stopped when he reached the sea of clouds that was linked to the Blackstone region. But even so, he could not locate the isolated “Afterlife Island” mentioned in the letter.

It was impossible, the sea had no obstructions. In the air, everything within a thousand miles could be seen at a glance. If there was truly a peculiar island, anyone in the race would had noticed it when advancing from the Blackstone region to the Land of Dawn. It was impossible for the island to remain hidden for him to discover.

Hackzord clenched his fists in anger.

Damned humans, how dare you swindle me, the Sky Lord! What is even more unforgivable is the fact that they used Valkries’ name!

It is impossible for the Nightmare Lord to betray the race, only the humans are capable of doing this, and it is most probable that they had extracted her memories. Even though it’s unknown when the Witches wielded such power, it is obvious as to what has happened to Valkries.

A burst of rage surged up from his chest.

He suddenly opened the Distortion Door and took a step onto the ocean—

“What Bottomless Land, what about the Realm of Mind being here, everything was bullshit!”

Hackzord roared while staring at the boundless ocean, as though venting the built up resentment in his heart.

“How can the land belonging to deities appear at such a mediocre place, I should have realized it a long time ago!”

“Wouldn’t it be fine if I had activated the Deity of Gods to wipe out all the humans… Why did I bother taking the risk to infiltrate the Realm of Mind!? But now, I, a Senior Lord, have become bait at the whims of the humans, and they have even caused me to be suspected by the King. I am truly foolish!”

“This ploy, I will definitely—!”

Sky Lord suddenly paused mid roar as he was startled.

Just a moment ago, he was standing on the clear and reflective ocean surface, but now, it had turned hazy and unclear. A vast expanse of white mist had unknowingly appeared around him, and his vision dropped to only within tens of feet.

Did I enter the mist?

No… even if this is cloud of mist, I should have sensed it before.

Hackzord retraced his steps and the ocean became clear once again. He turned his head, only to see the tranquil ocean in its entirety.

The rage within him disappeared without a trace.

Instead, a cold chill replaced the emotions in his heart.

This isn’t far from Land of Dawn or Blackstone region, but no one actually noticed this strange phenomenon over the past several hundred years?

After a slight hesitation, he activated his ability and entered the unique region.

But this time, he acted far more cautiously.

After crossing through, the dense and moist mist enveloped him.

Hackzord lowered his altitude and advanced slowly. At the same time, he raised his vigilance to its highest. Not long later, a vague figure appeared before him.

It was an island, and from its silhouette, it wasn’t small.

He flew to the edge of the island and landed on actual grass.

Is this… the place that Valkries mentioned?

Hackzord surveyed his surroundings, but failed to see anything aside from the mist.

He considered his situation and decided to investigate the island on foot. He had just swapped out for a new tank of Red Mist earlier before. The sea of clouds had the demons’ supply line, while the link between the Land of Dawn and Blackstone region had two sentry points. With his ability, the probability of an accident was extremely low.

After a few hundred steps, the scenery before him gradually changed. Stone tablets appeared amongst the grass, and the further he walked, the more there were, They were clearly man-made structures, which meant that the island was not an unmanned and restricted area. Hackzord inspected a few stone tablets alone and realized that the inscriptions on them were unfamiliar to any language he knew.

“Hello.” He suddenly heard a voice.
