Chapter 509 [509] The North.
Higher than even the clouds of this world, the blankets of snow that covered the high mountains. The mountains, which were tens of thousands of meters of tall…But ‘the thing’ they saw was still prominent compared to the behemoth like size of these peaks.
“You see that…right?”
“Yeah.”
Alan asked Kazikato, who responded with an affirmation, Sabrina stayed quiet, wishing they would simply tell her soon enough.
The might of [Dragon Eyes] pierced through the dense clouds and saw something…which was illogical to say the least.
At first, there were statues of ice, some parts covered in snow but not all of them…but this?
This was merely the beginning, they weren’t even half the way up the mountain. They saw…life.
Life in the form of behemoths, mammoths and yetis from what they could see.
After such a while, they had finally seen something alive, a biological organism that didn’t belong to Flora. Some fought with one another, and some peacefully slept with their groups. There were many, But Alan and Kazikato didn’t waste time to count them all.
It was not even the thing that grabbed their attention…It was something else. At a level where oxygen was scarce, perhaps even non-existent, where the stars appeared closer than the ground…where the endless expanse of space was at the distance of an outstretched hand.
There it lay, with bricks as large as human houses being the foundation, the ceiling, and the walls.
Like emerald it glowed and like an astral crystal it reflected the beauty of the vast space.
But, the size of it was simply…gargantuan. Gigantic.
Each brick was the size of a house…and there were quite possibly hundreds of thousands of such gigantic like materials…and what did they form?
What could it possibly be…?
To take such giant materials to form, what would be it’s size, what would be it’s shape? .𝒎
The colossal construct that required these was a city, that looked desolate to them but they dared not venture further with the help of their eyes.
It was a like a biting feeling into their throats…or rather it would be more appropriate to say it was like a knife held at it, a knife so sharp it would only take a second, maybe even less to decapitate their heads if they dared seek further.
‘What is the strength of the civilization that built such a construct?’
The two of them didn’t look further, and simply deactivated their eyes, afraid whatever…or whoever was inside would take notice of them.
The city, as far as they could see which rested on the top of these gigantic mountains appeared to be desolate…but they didn’t want to see if it truly was or not.
“…”
Alan and Kazikato looked down, and looked at the sight a peculiar girl being covered in snow, her hair had become white and she was shivering, but there was a fire in her eyes.
“Ah.”
Alan had deactivated the shield he had cast around them to strengthen his eyes…he had completely forgotten about the passenger he had.
“Sorry…”
He apologized, he was simply too taken aback by the sight he had just seen, that he had forgot about Sabrina’s frail…body.
“…”
She stayed quiet, the shivers running down her body making her unable to utter words. This didn’t mean she was quiet though.
[Maxwell was right, you two are complete idiots.]
She complained through the astral connection.
[Not rea-]
Alan tried to make a comeback, but was ruthlessly shut down.
[Shut up.]
“…”
[At least tell me what you saw that made you both sweat in this weather.]
Alan nodded, and they left the place. He intended to inform her along the way.

“A city…?”
She asked, confused. They travelled through the air at a moderate pace. Alan had set up another shield and Sabrina used her mana to conjure a small fire to keep herself warm, and dry her clothes.
“Yeah, It was made with bricks the size of houses, and although we couldn’t see much inside… It appeared desolate.”
Kazikato chimed in.
“There were weird statues of ice below and at the walls of the city, and monsters like Mammoths and Yetis, They were in groups.”
“Hmmm…”
Taking in the new information they had garnered.
“We need to go back now, Alan, open a portal.”
“I can’t.”
She froze, a seed of fear growing inside. They didn’t teleport back instantly because she didn’t want everyone to see her shivering and in wet clothes…but because of the recent information she was ready to handle the embarrassment and rumors…But.
Alan couldn’t make a portal?
“I don’t know if it’s the portal we made there, or this planet itself. I can’t seem to find a connection back to the main base, and neither can I teleport back to Earth. It’s like my connection to space is being cut, but still there.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can feel my mana, yet I can’t manifest it.”
Kazikato stayed quiet, the suns began to go down and the night was soon to come. Sabrina had a shiver run down her spine, unwilling to spend the night in this unfamiliar environment. Her curiosity had been completely removed, and she was more focused on going back.
She was scared, to put it bluntly.
“Go as fast as you can, don’t mind me and just go.”
Alan looked at her for a moment, Kazikato started to prepare. 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
“Don’t regret it.”
“I won’t, we need to go back home as soon as possible. I don’t…have a good feeling about this.”
Her concerns were quite valid. They had just seen something completely defying their expectations and predictions, and the lack of life in this planet…irked her.
“Go, now!”
Alan didn’t want any longer and enhanced his speed with whatever he could, His bloodline energy, mana and even his dragonic powers.
Sabrina struggled to even open her eyes at this speed. And Kazikato struggled to keep up, using all his mana in the process.
It didn’t even take them ten minutes to go back.
