"Uh...... Master, it's really heavy."

Feeling the sun on his face, Atvance slowly opened his eyes, finally regaining consciousness. Siya swung out a stream of air that sent him flying far away, and the pain in his body had not completely disappeared.

Artevans sat up and looked around, trying to see through the sights around him where he had been knocked away by Sia. Due to Artevan's toughness and Sia's lack of full strength, the air currents left a shocking scar on Atvance's chest, but it did not endanger his life.

As long as he was not sent to the south of the continent of Ostia, where dragons lived, Artevans would be able to survive. Although Artevans is strong, the existence of the prohibition imposed by Siya makes it impossible for him to use all his strength, and the injuries on his body are not light now, if he wakes up and finds himself in a place inhabited by dragons, I am afraid that Artevans will not survive for a few days.

Overcoming the pain of his wound, Artevans climbed to the heights, trying to make sure where he was. At this time, Artevans was surrounded by towering mountains and deep canyons. From above, Artevans could faintly see the appearance of the Ramas Forest, while on the other side, Artevans could see large and small buildings.

"The Cole Mountains, Master, you seem to be in good control."

Seeing his surroundings and remembering the full extent of the continent of Ostia he had seen, Artevans quickly determined that his location was the Cole Mountains.

The Cole Mountains are the center of the northern continent of Ostia and are almost the heart of the apex world, connecting not only the forest of Ramas in the west but also the plain of Sepion in the east. At the same time, from the Kohl Mountains to the south, you can go to the southern continent of Ostia, and to the north is the ocean. It is even rumored that somewhere in the Cole Mountains, there is a plane portal to the Hellworld and the Underworld.

Although the common creatures of the Cole Mountains cannot match the Artevans, since the Cole Mountains are the core of the Ostia continent, there must be powerful creatures guarding this area.

(My current strength is not enough to take revenge on the Divine Heirs, and the Ramas Forest will definitely not be able to return for the time being.) The Plains of Sepion, which is said to be the territory of humans, seems to be interesting. ）

Although human beings are relatively weak intelligent races in the top world, with their strong reproductive ability and environmental adaptability, they have become the most intelligent race in this world. The Sepien Plains, as well as parts of the Southern Continent, are inhabited by humans.

Deciding where he wanted to go, Artevans headed in the direction of the Sepien Plains. Of course, along the way, he did not forget to pay attention to whether he found a suitable herb to treat his injuries.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed before Atvance's eyes, which caught Atvance's attention. The white figure wasn't small, even taller than Artfans. The main thing is that Artevans felt a huge amount of energy from that white figure.

If he can subdue that white figure, Artevans' strength may go further. The desire for power made Artevans forget that his injuries were not fully healed, and he walked towards the white figure.

But Artevans had barely taken a few steps to where the white figure had disappeared when a gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves around him. With this gust of wind, Artevans felt a strong breath.

(Is it in, warn me?) ）

The wind was clearly being manipulated by something, and it seemed to convey the message "don't come closer", but the more it did, the more excited Artevans became. Artevans still has a lot of unclear about his own strength, and only by fighting powerful creatures can he further consolidate his power.

Thinking like this, Artevans was not afraid of the warning of the wind, and walked forward step by step.

After passing through a relatively dense forest, Artvance came to a canyon, which was bottomless, but Artvance found no trace of the white figure, but he immediately felt a killing intent behind him.

Turning around, a dark barrier was formed, blocking the sudden attack, and Artevans also saw the full picture of the white figure. It's a snow-white saber-toothed tiger surrounded by wind.

Artevans was still looking at the white tiger in front of him, but the figure of the white tiger suddenly disappeared, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his back. Then came a powerful hurricane that knocked him down into the canyon.

(Can't take a single move, it seems that I'm still too weak.) Well? What is this light? ）

Artevans was about to accept his fate, but a burst of purple light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the canyon, causing Artevans to faint.

————————————

Autumn leaves fall, and flowing water murmurs. Artevans fainted by a river, the scent of wind still lingering on the claw marks behind his back. The place where Artfans is located is less like the bottom of a canyon and more like another world.

A carriage passed by, but if you look closely, the horse pulling the cart has only bones, not flesh.

The carriage stopped beside Atfans, and a figure dismounted from it. This is a woman with red pupils and very strange lines. She looked Atlance up and down, and eventually, she noticed the mark on the half of Atlance's back.

"We're still on our way, so don't waste time." The skeleton horse made a sound.

The woman nodded, waved her hand and summoned a breath that covered Atfans, and turned to get into the carriage. The carriage continued to move, and the woman sat in the carriage and looked back at Artevans, who had fallen to the ground, with a subtle expression.

"See you ...... soon"

————————————

"Finally, are you going to wake up, this darkness ......?"

"Damn the ban, I've been locked up here for twenty years. But even if you seal me here, you won't be able to make Artevans grow as you wish, Archbishop."

In the depths of Atvance's soul, a spherical object was encased in a light blue barrier, the surface of which was glowing with golden marks. But the glow of the golden sigil had dimmed considerably, and a crack had appeared in the light blue barrier.

A black mist, beating inside the ball, has been guarding the ball from the energy of the light blue barrier, and on the other hand, it is constantly hitting the barrier. Not only that, but there were also multiple dark breaths pouring into the depths of Atvance's soul, knocking on this barrier.

How long this barrier will last is anyone's guess. The only thing that can be known is the dark aura that hits the barrier, and it has not yet reached the strength to shatter the barrier......

————————————

Artevans woke up suddenly, looking at the dense woods around him, a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes. He slowly stood up, and found that the injuries on his body were completely healed, and there was even a strange feeling. Artevans couldn't tell what it was like, only that there was a very familiar energy flowing within him that he had never felt before. It's like a power that belongs to him.

(I always feel that there is a missing part of my memory, which is that after I met the white tiger, I was instantly defeated by it and fell into the canyon.) At that time, I saw ...... ）

But Artevans couldn't remember what he had seen or what had happened after he had fainted, all he knew was that he had woken up in a wooded area, with a clear river flowing beside him, and the leaves were so verdant.

As it stands, Artevans can only think of falling into a river after falling into the canyon, and then floating down the river all the way here. As for why the injuries on his body were completely healed, he didn't know, and he couldn't find out what healed him.

Artevans didn't know how long it had been since he fainted, but judging by how he felt, it would definitely not be more than two days. Then to be able to completely recover Artevans in two days, it is absolutely impossible to do it with medicine, only it may be magic.

It's just that Atvance can't sense any energy residue on the location of his original wound at all, and it stands to reason that Atvance's injury can fully recover in such a short period of time, and the time that has passed since Atvance woke up is not long, and it will inevitably leave a relatively obvious energy residue. But the reality is that Artevans didn't feel any other breath or energy in him at all.

(Forget it, don't think about this, then, where am I now?) ）

Artfans' gaze was fixed on the exit of the woods, and in the distance, he could see some low buildings faintly in the distance, billowing green smoke.

Judging from the scenery before him, Artevans had determined that he was at the border of the Cole Mountains, and that the Sepien Plains were in front of him, which was exactly what he had planned at the beginning. I may also be thankful for the river, which saved me a lot of energy and took me from the heart of the Cole Mountains to the border.

Although Artevans still has some doubts in his heart, he still has to focus on his own plan for the time being. The words he said when he killed the six people in Tole Village were not entirely so that Siya would not be caught because of himself, but they were actually Artfans' true words.

No matter how much Siya has done in the past twenty years to make Artevans forget the hatred of his father's murder, Artevans has never been able to let go, and for twenty years, he has been improving his strength just so that he can one day get revenge. As long as Artevans can cut Notek with his own hands, no matter what the price will pay, Artevans will not hesitate.

Since the dragons of the southern continent are not easy to provoke, and the north is a sea with almost no intelligent creatures, the Sepion Plains is a place worth exploring for Artfans.

The white tiger that had defeated him in just a split second, and Artevans had also taken it to heart, it was definitely not an ordinary beast. That kind of pure wind power is not something that alien beasts can have.

Between thoughts, Artevans didn't stop walking, he had left the area of the Cole Mountains and really stepped into the Sepien Plains. And the best way to learn about a strange land is to find the indigenous people of the land.

Most of the gods and demons don't like to have too much intimacy with other races. Especially the demons, who despise humans in their bones, and Atfans, who has both the blood of the god heir and the demon race, is even more so. However, since this is a place of human habitation, he can only accept it.

(I think it's the village I saw on the border of the Kohl Mountains, and it looks like a place where you can get information, although it's a little rudimentary.) These humans, used as tools, should be quite effective. ）

After leaving the Cole Mountains, there were no more obstacles in the path of Artfans. Humans will always clean up the surroundings where they live to facilitate movement and daily life, and Artevans has only heard Siya say it before, but this time he can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes. Without any obstacles, he was able to enter the small village.

It's just that from the time he woke up to the time he walked into the village, he didn't notice that there was a block of ice where he woke up, which was slowly melting. The ice emitted a faint energy that even Artevans didn't feel. Eventually, the ice disappeared completely, leaving no trace.
