Nightmare's Call

Chapter 423: The Hunt: Part 1

As for the matter with the rental house, Lin Sheng did not care much. At his level, and with Tenko Kasumi holding fort, he had no fear of anything happening.

So the moment he got back, he went straight into the isolation chamber and stepped through the ritual portal straight into the Darkspirit Cavern.

Then he went through the portal of Caerphabor Cavern toward the Fairy Kingdom.

By the time he had entered the Sea of Trees of the Fairy Kingdom, more than half an hour had already passed.

Lin Sheng appeared before a weird tree with huge leaves.

The portal’s teleportation was seemingly random, and for him to not be detected was a real blessing.

The sky was slightly yellowish, and it was drizzling as a thin mist permeated in the air.

Lin Sheng walked out of the leaf that larger than the size of man, and allowed his body to be exposed in the rain.

The surrounding vision was only about twenty to thirty meters away, and further away, it was nothing but haze.

Lin Sheng looked up and saw many floating light spots flying around above him, like many tiny people with wings.

They were chatting with each other as they let out a faint green glow around them.

“Are those the mutated fairies of the dark spirits?” Lin Sheng guessed.

“This cavern is just too big, and it’s very troublesome to sweep it clean, but luckily with a powerful faction like the Fairy Kingdom, if I really want to take over this place, and unify everything, it’s not too difficult.” Lin Sheng was not really concerned with absorbing normal souls now, as souls with a soul power of less than ten thousand were practically meaningless to him. They would be nowhere close to the chaotic souls that were tethered to him which he could slowly temper them. So he was more focused on the details of the Darkspirit Cavern as he was creating a back-up plan for the real world.

In the event that the real world collapses, and armageddon comes, rather than hitting a dead end like Blackfeather City did, perhaps the Darkspirit Cavern could be used as an option to prolong their survival.

That was his intention.

After all, if the Blacktide could destroy a powerful world like the one Blackfeather was on, those Palatinates of varying strength was even more out of the question.

After pulling back his thoughts, Lin Sheng put on a long grey robe for disguise, covering his entire head with only his eyes exposed.

He then walked toward the place where all of the Fairies were.

The dark-haired man who had rescued him earlier told him that if he were to continue in that direction, he would be able to reach the core area of the Fairy Kingdom, the Ring of Vitality.

The Ring of Vitality did not refuse entry of outsiders, conversely, they actually hoped for more outsiders to come in and out of it.

That way, it was easier for them to search for persons with powerful abilities, and to form contracts with them.

As Lin Sheng walked, he recalled some of the information the young man had told him before.

At that time, after the young man had saved him and the farmer, the former had kindly answered a few of his questions, and Lin Sheng was originally supposed to meet up with the young man there after some time.

It was just that after returning to the real world, Lin Sheng did not expect to get swamped with so much work, and forgot to take into account the time difference. By the time he got back, it was probably already long past the meeting time.

All of the information he knew was from that hired farmer and the young man.

“A pity, but if I missed him, then he’s gone. If I could stay here for long, then I could move around together with the young man, and that will probably be easier than just me alone. I might even be able to get a contracted fairy as well.”

As Lin Sheng marched on, he did not reveal any extraordinary powers as both his dark and holy powers lurked within him quietly. He was just like a normal person, taking one honest step at a time.

The number of fairies above his head was increasing, and some would even lean over to observe him.

However, as he went on, more and more passers-by appeared on the road.

Among them were foreign solo-travelers like Lin Sheng, and there were also troops mysterious men armed to the teeth.

There were even adventurer squadrons-like teams running about as well.

Lin Sheng mingled with the ground, and aside from his burly figure, he had no other eye-catching characteristics.

Soon, the fairies found him uninteresting and were no longer following him anymore.

A gilded team that seemed to be very familiar with the route suddenly came from behind and went past Lin Sheng, As he headed deeper into the Sea of Trees, the surrounding trees were getting taller and stronger, while the mist in the air was getting thicker.

And soon, the number of people on the road grew.

Lin Sheng walked forward another ten minutes or so before he finally saw a real man-made building.

It was a series of pyramid-shaped white stone towers.

The top of every tower looked like they had a hat on them as a round parasol-like object was constantly spinning.

Lin Sheng looked through the people before him, and everyone was lining up calmly and orderly as they successively walked through the middle of the white towers.

The golden team that had overtaken him earlier were among the crowd.

“Welcome everyone who is visiting. Please follow the laws of the kingdom, if you are lucky, you may even be able to meet a suitable fairy to form a powerful pact with.” A male voice rang out from one of the nearby white stone towers.

Amidst the dim yellow light, Lin Sheng followed the crowd into the heart of the Fairy Kingdom.

The tress around him was getting sparser, but each and every one of them was bigger and stronger.

Giant tree branches and leaves were divided into a series of magical stairs for the fairies to enter and exit.

After going past the pyramid-shaped white towers, Lin Sheng immediately saw a wide verdant grass field before him.

At the center of the green fields was the largest tree he had ever seen.

The canopy of the tree blotted out the sky, as it created a dark zone hundreds of meters wide.

Within the dark shadow, there were large holes within the tree branches. There was clear flowing water within the holes, as they fell high from above like a silver ribbon, turning into mist before they hit the ground.

Lin Sheng had gotten to the edge of the crowd, and most of the people there were looking up at curiously at the giant tree.

Most of them were dressed in leather armor with weapons, and regardless of men or women, all of them bore scars.

They seemed to be adventurers in a tight spot and perhaps came here in the hopes of a fairy choosing them to let them soar.

And many were whispering among themselves, as they formed into groups of various sizes that seemed to know one another.

The language they spoke was strange, and Lin Sheng only understood a little bit.

Those were the parts spoken in Ancient Rehn, other than that, he had no idea what there were on about.

“Nayizuo (Bring them out)!” a loud voice suddenly called out.

The mist before Lin Sheng’s eyes slowly parted as a golden glow appeared in the sky.

The golden light illuminated the ground, and the surrounding trees. It was blinding, and there was something flying within the light.”

It was a three-meter-long Golden Phoenix that was slowly flapping its wings as it gently landed on one of the large tree trunks.

“It’s Lord Golden Phoenix!”

“Has Lord Golden Phoenix actually came to witness this in person? Does that mean, the Fairy King will be here as well?”

“It is Lord Gold Phoenix... I had seen that figure thirty years ago, and I never thought I had the luck to see it again. What wondrous figure...”

A wave of admiring murmurs rang out from the crowd.
