“My lord… Someone seems to be trying to open a portal that is connected to the demon realm…” Xaphan reported with his knees on the ground and bowed.
Tapping his fingers, Sullivan didn't mind his report and just gazed at the screen beside him.
“i'll take care of that later when the situation worsen. For now, just spy on their actions.“ Despite saying that, his thoughts are different
'But if they ever do something to my territory or even to him, I'll make sure to torture them alot.'
With that, Xaphan bowed and went out of the huge halls quickly. He then sighed outside and helplessly thought about the huge screen infront of his lord.
'My lord sure is devoted to his beloved alone…'He thought as he remembered the person in the screen.
Silvery locks that shines even at night, porcelain skin like snow, splendid appearance in both face and body but what took Xaphan's attention was his familiar silvery eyes.
He then smiled and walked away. Planning to head towards to someone that is just in the library.
————————————————————————————
Just between the border of the Western and the Southern Continent lies a very dangerous cliff. Yuriel and his group marched on the dry ground as the silvery eyed man stopped just infront of a long broken bridge made out of ropes and logs.
It's already been a day since yuriel met sullivan and he thanked his whole self for successfully calming down. Not fully but atleast he's still in his right mind
Feeling his cheeks getting hot again from remembering the man, yuriel shook his head to calm his thoughts and instead focus on the reason why they're here in this dangerous place.
Yuriel rubbed Neo's chin and asked in a low tone. Not forgetting to add a sound barrier around him for a few seconds. He was already traveling with a beastmen who's senses are triple the times good as what the humans have.
“Are you sure this is where the floating island is located?“ Purring, Neo nodded his head obediently as he kept letting his host rub his chin.
Yuriel understood and gazed at the other side.
It is like a wasteland, a huge mass of land full of nothingness except a few dead trees and few dried grass on the ground.
No animals could be seen in either direction, not even wild boars could be heard. The area was barren and lifeless.
Lev couldn't take it anymore and finally asked the question that even the other two also wanted to ask.
"What are we gonna do here brother?" Lev said. He started calling yuriel brother since in his tribe, they always say brother to each other as a sign of alliance or friendship which made the silvery eyed man allowed the beastmen to call him that. It is better than master or my lord to begin with.
Yuriel glanced at his companions direction and gave them a mischievous grin before turning his head back to the bridge.
"See for yourself." He replied which earned a confused look from the beastmen.
Lev then glanced at Rio and Marco but he just saw them sighing problematically as if they already knew what will happen next.
Being with the man named Yuriel all the time. They already know why they're here.
"Another batch of treasures are coming in..." Rio hopelessly said
"I agree. I won't be surprised if he'll be having a floating mansion sooner or later." Marco added as he laughed jokingly. Unbeknown to him, yuriel was indeed gonna have a floating island.
'So brother is really a wealthy commoner...' Lev inwardly thought as he glanced back at the man who is currently touching the end of the bridge.
Feeling the rough edges of the bridge, yuriel glanced back at his group, “Come closer, you three. I'm about to cast a spell.“
Following his orders, the three went near him and yuriel nodded in satisfaction before he point his palm on the ground as a grey magic circle appeared and lifted them to the air.
Yuriel then moved his palm forward and the magic circle also did the same and they're now passing through the dangerous cliff.
The three couldn't help but to be amazed by how powerful yuriel really is. Even Lev is starting to feel grateful that yuriel brought him.
After they finally crossed, Marco thought that they're about to land but they kept floating forward which made the necromancer look at him.
“We're not gonna walk?“ He asked and yuriel nodded.
“Yup. Too lazy….“ He said indifferently.
Marco sighed in relief while Rio just shook his head. It seems that yuriel is getting more lazier than he was before that rio was starting to get worried for his man's future.
While the two was having their own reaction. Lev was just having fun floating.
————————
After a few more minutes, they finally landed on a broken mudbrick walls. Gazing at the structures, yuriel suddenly thought of those mythology buildings he always see in books or internet.
His eyes sparkled as he started to feel excited. He will finally get his present!
He quickly walked forward and soon followed by his companions.
Walking through the rocky path, Huge piles of broken ricks and stones can be seen laying around. There are even walls that are still standing despite its condition.
“Neo. Is this a temple or something?“ Yuriel whispered while creating a short-time sound barrier.
Neo nodded in confirmation, 'Yes host! This is actually a temple that was used to communicate with the God of Sky, Jupiter in the past but was soon destroyed because of—” Before neo could even continue, a box suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a warning sign.
「Warning! The God of Sky, Jupiter releases a threatening look to a certain wolf while smiling and said that punishment will be waiting for the wolf if he ever say it.」
After that, it quickly vanished which made yuriel glanced at the pup on his shoulder who is now stiff like a statue.
Neo apologetically look at his host with his ears down, making yuriel raised his brow but didn't force the little one to continue anymore.
'There seems to be a dark history of Uncle Jupiter that he even threatened his follower just to not tell me…' Yuriel sighed inwardly as he kept walking.
Minutes past, yuriel suddenly stopped with his eyes widening in surprise and shock.
The three noticed yuriel's state and also look infront, only to have the same expression.
Just infront of them is a huge hole. It is also deep that it feel like they're looking at a cliff to the point that they couldn't even see the ending.
“What… is this?..“Lev couldn't help but to subconsciously speak his thoughts.
“It feels like someone took a huge piece of land since the middle has a weird cone shape.“ Rio added which made yuriel inwardly praised his high IQ.
While the two was thinking of how the hole was created. A certain necromancer was gulping.
“…..Please don't tell me we are going to check what is down there…” Marco asked which caught the attention of the other two. They then look at the silver haired man in hopes that they wont go there.
Even if Lev is currently amazed by the huge hole, he is still not really into the thought of entering an unknown place.
Yuriel smiled sheepishly which almost made Marco have an heart attack. It is exaggerating but for the necromancer who have tasted yuriel's love of lurking into dangerous places, ofcourse it's not.
Yuriel then glanced up which confused his companions but what he said next was to shocking.
“Ofcourse not. Why would i go down there if what i'm looking for is up there.“ He said as he pointed his fingers on the skies.
If a person look at it lazily, they will only see dark clouds but if they look closely through the clouds. A sharp edge can be seen.
Before the three can ask, yuriel cast a spell again and the magic circle appeared to fly them up pass to the sky.
Finally, arriving at the top. Their faces have different reaction.
Marco was amazed as his eyes sparkled with stars in it.
Rio face was blank as he expected it already
Lev is shock as his mouth was hanged open
While the person behind this is smiling from ear to ear like he just found a place he rest at, literally.
Who could expect that the small sharp edge behind the clouds is actually a floating island filled with green plants and trees, a pond and the most exciting part is the huge castle in the middle.
Yuriel smiled even more to the point his eyes are even turning into a crescent shape and went forward to the island with his group.
