Chapter 48: The Red Line of Fate (10)
The kite-ichi bit the corner of his lip with a little displeasure, and at the same time as his steps stopped, the magic [Holy Wind] was also ended. The breeze was blowing, and the small body that had lost its magic was standing upright on the empty mountainside, showing a bit of pride and loneliness.
He's misjudged through Tiyun to the point of wasting time that shouldn't have been wasted.
Now, the distance between him and the witch was too great for him to sense the witch's location, let alone chase after it.
Similar to the outside world, the territory of the BoundaryForest is also discontinuous.
As a whole, the Boundary Forest is divided into an independent space. And underneath the whole, there are countless fragments.
These parts are called "Sky Islands". As the name suggests, "Sky Island" refers to an independent island suspended in the air. And the passage between the two adjacent [Sky Islands] composed of cloud-like objects is the [Tiyun].
On each empty island, there is a door that connects with the outside world.
In the Boundary Forest, there are as many empty islands as stars, but each one has an absolute uniqueness, but the [Gate] is not like this.
Normally, different Doors can lead to different levels of space. The doors on some of the empty islands that are adjacent to each other will be connected to different locations on a spatial level.
Enter through one door and exit through another. Crossing the [Gate] is the essence of the so-called space crossing, and it is also the real purpose of people taking the flying dragon boat to cross the Bounding Forest.
What Kite didn't expect was that Ashumia would actually cross the [Tiyun] and go to the central part of the Boundary Forest. The empty island numbered [000].
Tiyun's name is cute, but its true existence is completely contrary to the harmlessness of its name.
Tiyun clouds are very soft and sticky, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by sticky cloud-like objects like falling into a swamp, and eventually turn into nourishment for the clouds.
It was precisely because he wanted to avoid being entangled with the clouds that he decided to use ice magic to freeze an ice bridge connecting the [Sky Island]. But his judgment was wrong.
This misjudgment led to a new knowledge that had yet to be discovered—that the island in the center of the Bounded Forest was capable of devouring magic.
The ice bridge dissolves halfway through him, and he falls from the melted ice bridge. Although this was not a crisis for Kite, it was a waste of his time.
This also led to Kite's displeasure at the moment - he couldn't catch up with the girl. The promise to "get out of here together" seems to be about to fail.
Lowering his eyes, he remembered that very ordinary but slightly cute little face. The girl puffed out such a face, and said to him without shame in the accusations of all people, "I was admitted by Gallotti in dignity."
The way she looked at that time was really simple and stupidly funny.
A sense of irritability that he hadn't felt for many years surged in his heart, and at this moment, it was difficult for him to tell whether this strange mood was due to the exceptional failure of the appointment, or because of the loss of the girl.
The kite wandered aimlessly on the mountainside, and the sound of gurgling water came from the mountain. He followed the sound of running water, and a pure white castle shrouded in a rainbow appeared before him.
