The Sacrificial Waterfalls could be seen in the distance, surrounded on one side by the Sorrowful Dew Expanse and on the other by the Soaring Chain Islands.
Among the monsters roaming the dark lands, a black flash stood out, rapidly approaching from afar.
Soon, Gladius saw the first bright dots in the distance as a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He knew what it was - the dew trees, which meant he was close.
The smell of thick blood occasionally teased his nose from the distant waterfalls, and even the wind currents coming from the chain islands reached his frame.
Despite his haste, Gladius slowed down slightly.
He wasn't worried about being attacked, even here, there were no monsters that could harm him.
Well, except for one he was aware of.
Gladius reduced his speed so as not to accidentally destroy a dew tree. If that happened, even he would be in trouble. After all, those trees were protected by one of the True Lords, a follower of the Free End.
Crackle.
