Chapter 91
Down in the mortal ne, in a distanced mountain range was a small vige. The people were living simple lives, everyone here was nothing but an ordinary mortal.
Right in the middle of the vige, was a giant rock that stood taller than all of the buildings. The rock was akin to a pir that pierced towards the sky, with strange ruins carved into it and it served as a holy ground for the vigers.
When their ancestors had first moved here, they had decided to build the vige around the giant rock as It was clearly not ordinary in hopes of them attaining its blessings.
At present time, Addi was sitting down cross-legged on top of the said pir with an annoyed expression on his face. His eyes nced down to see that the vigers were still there.
Ever since he woke up in that cave, the inhabitants of the vige had been treating him as their living God that descended to bless them.
Normally, Addi could care less about what mere mortals thought of him as, yet the truth still remains that they had found him copsed in a crater at the foot of the mountain and took him up to the cave until he recovered.
ncing down, Addi could see the various offerings the vigers were presenting him. Since they did not have much, most of the offerings were food tes alongside various other items. A bow, a sword, some coins.
Letting out a tired sigh, Addi raised his head to the sky, his mind full of various thoughts. His body was slowly recovering but it was too slow of a pace, the Qi in the mortal ne was barely enough and he did not want to draw the eyes of the ''Hive'' into him by using up the Qi from the entire continent to heal himself.
Shaking his head, Addi abruptly stood up causing the kowtowing viges to react by prostrating more zealously than before.
"What a coincidence that this thing ended up falling here." He muttered as he looked at the pir below his feet.
Addi was quite familiar with the prominent sects before Heaven''s fall. The pir he was standing on top just so happened to belong to one of those. The ruins carved on it was a deciphering of a certain powerful spear technique of said sect.
In the days that he had spent here recuperating, he had already meditated on the ruins and managed toprehend the attack.
His spear suddenly materialized in his hand from thin air. Taking one step off the pir, Addi did not fall into the ground but continued to walk in the air as his spear started dancing in his hands throwing various attacks.
To the vigers below, his movement looked like a graceful dance as he walked there in the air looking every bit like an esteemed Immortal causing the feelings of worship to deepen in their hearts.
Addi on the other hand was not paying them any heed as he tried out the moves from the spear skill he had just gotten. If there was one rule Addi lived by, that would be that there was never such thing as too many skills or techniques.
His current spear skills were already considered to be at the peak, but if he could manage topletely master this new technique then perhaps he would be able to use it to further elevate his main one.
---------------------------------------------------
On another side of the mortal ne, in a faraway forest was a small shack. A simple young woodcutter was frantically waving his hands in fear of the dagger that was pointed at him.
"I-I swear young fairy! I did not do anything!"
Le''s eyes squinted as she red at the young man in front of her with eyes full of suspicion. Her gaze quickly scanned her surrounding area yet she did not dare extend her divine sense too far in fear of it getting detected by someone.
Her face suddenly distorted in pain as she began to violently cough blood.
"*Cough* *Cough*"
Her dagger wavered as it dropped to her side, the young woodcutter''s face turned into one of concern as he tried to approach Le.
"Your body still doesn''t seem to be fully healed young fairy, please take some rest first."
He urged, yet just as he was about toe closer to her, Le''s dagger suddenly shot back to his neck abruptly stopping him in his tracks.
"Who the hell are you calling a young fairy? And where the hell is this?" She growled at him, her voice tired yetpletely cold sent shivers down his spine causing him to take a few steps back in fear.
Col''s mental image of Le as a young fairy that descended from the heavenspletely shattered when she opened her mouth, her vicious temper was akin to that of a demon, not an immortal!
"Speak mortal before lest I take your tongue away for wasting my time!" She spoke with a frown.
Frightened, Col hurriedly answered.
"T-This is the forest of the end at the edge of the song kingdom."
"Forest of the end? What a ridiculously grandiose name for a backwater ce." She answered in a mocking tone.
Hearing the name of the forest and the Song kingdom, confirmed Le''s doubts. There was no such kingdom in the ''Underworld'' not was the Qi in the air so scarce, this must be the mortal ne she had escaped into.
Thinking about her uncle Ss that had pushed her away towards the gate caused her heart to tighten as she did no know if he survived that monster''s attack, nor did she know if brother Omis and that damned old man also made it out. They were the ones to fight that thing head-on after all.
Completely ignoring the mortal that was still staring at her in bewilderment, Le was about to make her way out of the small shack when her injuries suddenly red up causing her to miss her footing.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, the young mortals muscr arm grabbed her from behind and prevented her from falling.
Are you okay young- Col suddenly stopped himself as he remembered her being annoyed when he called her fairy.
Letting out a tired sigh, Le leaned on the young man as she managed to regain for bearings before replying.
Le...
Ah?
My name.
Hearing that Cols face suddenly lit up as a huge smile made its way to his face before he enthusiastically replied.
Col! My name is Col!
Seeing his excited demeanor caused a small chuckle to escape Les lips, his smiling face somehow reminded her of that of a small cute animal.
Thank you.
Confused Col scratched his cheek as he asked.
Uh...
Pointing at her bandages, she spoke.
For trying to take care of me.
Hearing that brought another bashful smile to Cols face as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
It was on this day that the fate of twopletely different people became intertwined with one another for better or for worse.
