Chapter 730 Lone Journey
"I tried all that I could to discover what makes this pig special, but it looks like my expertise is of no use here.... Well then, I think I just have to abandon this and let the experts deal with this matter."
Before she could change her mind about this pig, Alina unhesitatingly pointed her finger at it, releasing a small spatial distortion that easily contorted all of the pig’s body parts.
"Squee!" The pig might look tough, but its human heads and serpent heads were easily grounded into dust by the spatial distortion, while its remaining body parts turned into chunks of flesh that burst into pieces.
Nothing about this pig remained intact, and Alina made sure of that by releasing 3 more spatial distortions.
"I thought that this pig could actually be a stronger creature, and that its Fourth Stage Aura was just a ruse. It’s a good thing that it was not hiding its strength. If it did, it could have been bad for me."
"Well, at least the encounter with this pig proved one of my theories. Which is good, as this theory can allow me to reach my target destination..."
With the monstrous pig already dead, Alina resumed her journey, this time moving towards the west instead of her normal northwards direction.
She did not show any reason on why she changed her direction, although her satisfied smirk indicated that her ’theory’ was related to why her movements suddenly fluxed.
Well, knowing what the theory is does not even matter, since there is nobody present that can understand what she was talking about.
After all, Alina was currently alone on her journey, and there is no one that is even talking to her.
"I just hope that both Queen Mother and Professor Frances have made this theory and had also confirmed it too. But knowing them, I think they could easily kill creatures like this pig too..."
"Speaking of those two, where the hell are they now?"

Before Alina and her allies were brought by Alex towards the location of the Ancestral Tomb, they already brainstormed on the possible scenarios that could happen once they arrived.
They thought of all the possible situations that they might find themselves in, and they prepared proper countermeasures for that.
They made sure to include everything that might happen, even the ones that sounds too ridiculous to even mention.
"..."
Because of the rigidity and complexity of the plans that they made, Alina secretly thought that their brainstorming might have been a little too much.
After all, too much planning is just as dangerous as too little planning.
But after Alina and the others were brought here at the Ancestral Tomb, she realized that their brainstorming was not wrong at all.
In fact, she can even say that they should have brainstormed a lot more...
"So... I arrived here at the Ancestral Tomb by myself, with none of my allies accompanying me. Queen Mother and Professor Frances are all out of my sight, and even my abilities could not sense where they are."
"As for Wisteria and Astria, my link with them seems to be severed too, and the walkie-talkie that we have does not show signs of communication here."
"No. It is not only that gadget that is not working. Any objects related to technology and progress are all muted in this place...
"But at least all of my powers are still working here. I just can’t say the same for my allies."
Out of all the dilemma that Alina could expect, the notion of being separated from her allies was the least that she thought would happen.
After all, she and her companions were linked together by the power of the Endless Monarch, which means that as long as nothing drastic happens, they would appear in one place together.
And even if they were indeed separated, the symbols engraved on their foreheads can indicate their approximate locations, as well if their co-Companions were still alive.
With the power that the Endless Monarch had, it is almost impossible for these links and sensory abilities to be muted.
But here at the Ancestral Tomb, that is what exactly happened!
Alina was separated from her allies, and she could not sense their locations or if they were even still alive!
"Sigh, the matter about being separated with my allies is already bad enough, but do you know what is worse? Hmph, it is the fact that the Ancestral Tomb is not like what I expected."
"I thought I would see a barren land filled with the aura of death. But instead what I see is an endless void, filled with nightmarish creatures and impossible objects that defy the laws or reality."
"Heck, I can even see a perpetual motion machine following me! Machines like this should not have existed, and it should not even be following me!"
That leaves Alina with no choice but to wander by herself, inside a place that is much weirder than what she had expected.

Alina was worried about the condition of her allies, but because of the chaotic situation around her, and the fact that she could not reach out to them, all that she can do was grit her teeth and hope that she will meet them as she continued her journey.
"I might not be the luckiest person to ever live, but I believe that destiny will be helping me. Not everything that is bad will happen to me, right?" Alina mused.
She sounded slightly disbelieving of her words, but with her lone status, she found it hard to even deny herself.
What else can she do but to believe herself, when there is nobody else that will assist her?
"It’s not like I will meet someone who will try to kill me. Who knows, I might still have some luck that could help me out here..."
But as much as Alina wanted to believe on her skills and her luck, fate just had different plans for her.
