55 It Should Work Somehow (1/2)
While Arima was flying above the sea in his draconic form, so fast that it would fend the surface of the water, he was thinking about the map he had on the Main Land. Its size was definitely bigger than the continent he just left. Actually, he didn't really look up to it before leaving and there was not really much information about it, so the map he had maybe wasn't that accurate and complete.
”But still, it gets bigger and bigger, what the h.e.l.l is that? Some game? And the difficulty changes too in a certain way” Arima muttered
”{Yeah, it's the most peaceful continent but also the most dangerous at the same time}” Night said and Arima nodded.
The Main Land is the continent with the biggest population in this planet, it possesses the best inst.i.tutes and armies. It's mainly ruled by the humans along with the other races. The beasts are the most peaceful, leaving in forests spread around the continent. But, as Night said, there's something dangerous, and that thing is the monsters. In the Main Land, monsters tend to gather and attack all at once, creating situations like raids.
The strongest monsters are said to live in the Main Land. Also, from what Lilis said, the strongest human on that continent is only around the second sky of the earthen realm. But she also said that the strongest beings in this planet, omitting the Earthen G.o.ds which are almost all at the peak of the fifth sky, are the magic beasts.
”Yeah, that's expected, beasts have a mind calmer and more mature than humans” Arima said
”{Of course}” Lilis voice resounded. Actually, Arima had took Lanya and Lilis in his storage to move toward the Main Land. Of course, Arima did some changes in his own storage, it could be compared to something like a luxury hotel at this point.
”Even before that. Night, you didn't forget Jorga, right?” Arima suddenly asked
”{Huh? Of course, I remember}” Night was surprised and answered
”I won't say that he was an Earthen G.o.d but his strength should be around the third or the fourth sky of the earthen realm now that I can compare it to something” Arima said
”{…Seriously?}”
”Yes” Arima responded plainly
”{Then, that time when you clashed with him…]” Night then remembered something.
”Yeah, of course I lost, at that time, he could have beat me with a single attack. When you think about it, a beast that lived thousands of years, and had an inheritance, should not only be around the eighth level” Arima explained to him ”The reason he put me in high regards was most likely because he knew that I wasn't normal, at that moment, I didn't know anything about Life Hunters, but Jorga may have understood more than me with just a glance” He said
”{That was unexpected. And you owe a debt to someone like him}” Night commented
Arima shrugged like the wind didn't affect him at all, he also fired with Ira time to time toward the sea. And no sea monster attacked him once since the beginning.
”{Who is Jorga?}” Lanya asked
”It's a very old beast we met on a smaller continent” Arima answered and then wondered for a second ”He also was Night's master for a day, so I suppose he is your grandmaster in that logic” He said
”{Grandmaster?}” Lanya was surprised
”{Jorga…Now that I think about it, I remember him being the inheritor of Jormungand, we keep a record of the inheritors in Heaven}” Lilis added
”By the way Night, I never asked you, how did Jorga train you?” Arima asked in curiosity.
”{…}” Night fell silent for a moment ”{…Basically, he beat me over and over again, until I could more or less resist him and then breakthrough}” He said with difficulty ”{Now that I think about it, it's strange that he could beat me that easily}”
Arima started laughing ”Learning directly with the body is the quickest way to improve” He said, he flapped his wings and accelerated, he created a tide and disappeared at the same time.
*****************************************
It took Arima twelve hours to reach his destination, the main land was actually pretty far and Arima was going there with a casual speed. He even pa.s.sed by another continent.
Arima landed on a beach and dispersed the sand. He cracked his neck and released his resonance. Night reappeared as a cub and jumped on Arima's shoulder. Lilis and Lanya also stepped out of the latter's shadow and stretched.
Lilis sighed ”It's sad, your storage was so comfortable, you even created a fake sun and nature, that was like paradise” She said with a yearning expression.
”I'm not a hotel, I already destroyed it, it takes mana anyway” Arima snapped at her, and even Lanya showed a longing expression after she heard that Arima destroyed that place.
”Aah, I'll memorize the detailed map for now” Arima said ”[Bestia Falcon]” He chanted and hundreds of small spheres of electricity appeared in mid-air. These spheres soon became birds that flew away ”I remembered that I had this magic, with this I can scan the environment without alerting anyone” Arima said satisfied ”Well, let's see the surroundings at least” He looked at the sky and teleported away.
