James set up a time formation and then studied the inscriptions.
After successfully learning the first inscription, he moved on to the next.
Soon, he found similarities between them, and the process became easier.
Day after day, James focused on studying the formation of inscriptions. Inside the formation, James lost perception of time.
Suddenly, he stood up and dispersed the time formation.
“It’s a success.”
Hershya stared at him, surprised, and said, “You’re amazing, Master. It only took you ten thousand years to decipher such a
profound formation.”
James replied calmly, “It’s been ten thousand years outside. I spent much longer within the time formation.”
He walked forward, stretched his hand, and gently touched the formation.
A crack appeared on the formation.
James calmly passed through the gap and entered the HalIr Zone.
Hershya quickly followed after him.
After entering the Hallr Zone, James kept advancing rapidly. Soon, he arrived at a spiritual mountain within the core region.
The spiritual mountain was bizarrely barren. It was without plants, and black auras were constantly being released from the
surroundings.
The aura rose into the sky and shrouded the area in gloomy darkness.
James had been to the Hallr Zone before. However, he was thrown out of the formation before reaching the apex.
He had a completely different mood this time.
Hershya frowned and asked, “Is this the right place? Is that powerhouse on this mountain? Why is the aura here so terrifying?
Even I am feeling discomfort just by being here.” “Let’s go and look,” James replied, cautiously approaching the spiritual
mountain.
Soon, he arrived atop the spiritual mountain.
A man could be seen sitting atop the mountain. He had messy hair and tattered clothes. Every inch of his body was covered with
infected injuries.
James and Hershya appeared before the man.
The man slowly raised his head, revealing his crimson eyes.
James and Hershya took a few steps backward.
‘You’ve arrived?” The man had a hoarse voice.
‘Yeah.” James nodded, then asked, ‘You seem to know I would come.” “I’ve been expecting you. I knew it was you when you first
appeared here.”
While speaking, the man’s appearance and aura changed.
Gone was the battered man. Now, he was a handsome man with a graceful aura.
‘It’s the guy who fought off the mysterious shadow in the Halcyon Road,’ thought James.
The man looked at James and said, “I know why you’re here. However, it’s not something you should know yet. You should focus
on killing the living being that had arrived in this era with you. This era’s affairs are none of your concern. You can’t change
history, nor do you have the strength to do so.”
James’ goal was to find out what was at the end of the Halcyon Road. He wanted to know what kind of world existed outside
Halcyon Road.
