"Which ind is this friend of yours on?"


    Alex continued his questions, practically demanding more information out of the siren.


    But by this point, the siren was used to it.


    She just pointed in a direction behind Alex, and spoke.


    "In that direction. But I don''t know how far, I''ve never visited."


    Alex was a little confused for a moment.


    ''Never visited, how do you never visit-''


    But mid thought he realised that she probablymunicated long distance through telepathy or something like that.


    Alex slowly withdrew his sword from the siren''s chest, to her relief.


    He felt some aches and bruises across his body, thanks to the fight the two of them had just had, but it was already healing.


    His Phoenix mes really did work wonders.


    "You''re lucky. You get to live another day."


    He spoke to the siren onest time, before he started walking away, heading in the direction the siren had pointed out where the floating ind her friend lived on was.


    It was only after he widened the distance between himself and the siren so much that neither of them could sense each other, that he picked up the pace and began running as fast and hard as he could in a straight line to his destination.


    Alex ran with relentless determination, his feet pounding against the ground as he sprinted across the vast expanse of the floating ind.


    Thendscape blurred past him, a mix of dense forests, rolling hills and open ins all filtering past his eyes, but he made no note of them.


    His mind was focused solely on reaching the edge of the ind, where the siren had pointed him towards.


    The aches and bruises from his earlier fight had already fully healed.


    Hours turned into an entire day, with 24 hours passing since he had started running, and still, the edge of the ind remained out of sight.


    Keeping in mind that Alex was running at his full B tier strength capacity, so this ind alone was well over thousands of kilometres long at least!...


    It was wayrger than he anticipated — an endless stretch ofnd that seemed to go on forever.


    The endless pursuit of the edge but still being out of reach only fuelled his frustration, but he pushed on, not going to give up.


    As the sun began to dip below the horizon for the second time, Alex finally noticed a change in the terrain further ahead.


    The ground sloped downward, and the trees began to thin out, revealing a distant line where thend seemed to drop offpletely.


    ''Nearly there!''


    With a renewed burst of energy, he elerated even faster, his heart pounding not just from the constant exertion over thest day, but from the anticipation of finallying closer to his goal of finding Mira.


    Two more hours passed before he reached the edge.


    When he finally did, Alex skidded to a halt, his breath heavy but controlled.


    He stood at the precipice of the floating ind, gazing out into the vast open sky before him.


    The wind whipped around him, carrying with it a sense of istion that was unlike anything he had ever felt before.


    He realised that this was probably what the t earthers of the old used to think the earth looked like.


    Apletely t stretch ofnd and seas for thousands of kilometres, until suddenly reaching an edge.


    But what truly caught his attention was the sight of another ind — floating in the distance, far beyond what he had expected.


    It was massive, just like the one he stood on, but it was separated by a seemingly impossible distance to cover.


    Tens of thousands of kilometres, if not more.


    The sheer scale of it left him stunned.


    "Are you kidding me…?"


    Alex muttered under his breath, his frustration bubbling to the surface.


    He had spent over a whole day running, only to find that his destination was seemingly impossible to reach.


    He nced downward, hoping to find some alternative route, but what he saw only added to his dismay.


    The ground beneath him dropped into nothingness, with the surface of the Primordial expanse thousands of kilometres below.


    The sheer height made him dizzy for a moment, and he quickly pulled back from the edge, cursing under his breath.


    "How the fuck am I supposed to get down from here, let alone make my way up to that ind?"


    He grumbled, running a hand through his hair in frustration.


    The siren had mentioned her friend lived on that distant ind, but now it made sense why she never visited in person.


    The distance was simply too vast, even for someone who had some ability to fly like her.


    Alex sat down on the edge, trying to gather his thoughts.


    He hade this far, but now he was faced with an entirely new problem.


    He needed to figure a way out to cross the gap, but nothing came to mind.


    Even with all his abilities, he couldn''t simply fly across tens of thousands of kilometres.


    The idea of using his Phoenix mes as propulsion crossed his mind, but he quickly ruled that out.


    That method of propulsion only worked for him out in the depths of space where there was zero gravity.


    It would be too weak to work in an environment where there was gravity, probably only able to slow his descent a tiny bit.


    But from a height of thousands of kilometres, he would still probably build enough momentum to turn him into a bloody mist when he hit the ground.


    "Great… just great."


    He muttered, leaning back and staring up at the sky.


    The sun had fully set by now, and the deep ck night was lit up by the stars.


    ''Does space even exist in this dimension? Are those stars just an illusion or is there actually more to explore out there?''


    Some misceneous thoughts crossed his mind as he tried toe up with any idea on what to do, as he currently felt like he was at the biggest roadblock he had ever encountered.


    ''Wait…''
