Chapter 679: Waking Up…

The early morning sun came, its golden light shining through the glass panes and illuminating his face.

The eyelids fluttered and soon completely opened up, revealing the astral blue irises that fluctuated between a mix of blue and gold due to the bright light.

“It’s morning…” The thought was the first thing that entered into Zeras’s head, yet his body suddenly went rigid as he felt a hot wave of air passing over his neck. It left briefly, only to come once again, and only now could he feel the hand wrapped around him, almost like a python.

Slowly, he turned his gaze to the side, his face coming in contact with a peaceful-looking face. The source of the hot breath was none other than her.

“What the hell do you_?” Zeras said, about to scream out loud when suddenly he felt her lips begin quivering repeatedly, almost like she was saying something. He couldn’t help but perk his ear up, widening his ear’s influence, and then he heard the clear words.

“I’m coming soon, Father… I’ll save you… soon.” She whispered continuously, much to the existing Zeras’s annoyance.

But soon his face softened, and slowly, his body shifted slightly, and like a snake, he slipped away from her hands and away from the bed.

“Finally…” he mused to himself, stretching his bones and cracking his neck joints, before his eyes settled on the table where the book was placed. Looking at it, he could see the small notes and the words written on it. It was the handwriting of Felicie, and he could easily guess it was the little assignment he had given her.

“Concealed by day, Hidden by night, Revealed in the Crouching Sun, and the Creeping Moon. A place where a lost god once drank…” Zeras read aloud with a raised eyebrow as he looked at the picture on the map.

“There is no doubt about the map. It reveals the tower which was in the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect. This word is no doubt a location, but the only likely place for this location is in the tower itself…” He mused to himself with furrowed eyebrows.

“First, I have to return to the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect, and secondly, I need to get to the tower. Then I have to find a place stated in the words. Still, I don’t know what will be revealed or what is in store for doing so. Would the effort be worth risking going back to the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect after having gotten banished?” Zeras mused with furrowed eyebrows.

The book before him just revealed a location and a few words.

Unfortunately, the location was one he himself had been banned from ever visiting, and he would potentially be risking death if he dared to go back.

Unless he knew what type of reward was waiting for him, he wouldn’t risk it. Unless he was absolutely sure that no harm would come to him, and the only way that was possible was by being strong enough to withstand the unknown but no doubt terrific might of the three Ancient Monsters.

“All this would be after facing against King Vall’s ancient warriors…” Zeras mused to himself. He didn’t have such time right now at hand, nor could he allow his attention to be diverted. He needed focus and to improve, or anything he really wished for and wanted would all be nothing but a dream.

Slowly tucking the cover between the pages of the book, he stowed it away in his spatial ring.

“Waaaaahhh!!!” The sudden scream of shock resounded as Zeras turned his head behind him, looking at Felicie who had her jaw on the ground.

“What’s that?” He couldn’t help but ask as Felicie blinked her eyes quickly, jumping off the bed and walking towards the table, her eyes looking at the place where the large book was formerly present.

Carefully, she swiped her arm over the spot, before turning to look at Zeras’s pocket.

“How did the book disappear!?” She asked him as Zeras looked at her dazedly for a while, before shaking his head.

“And here I thought something was suddenly wrong with her…”

“It just faded into thin air, with a single touch? Is that some sort of god ability of yours…” She pressed on as he raised an eyebrow.

“It’s just a simple storage ring. It has its space and you can store non-living objects within it by simply willing it…” Zeras explained, pointing to the ring on his finger.

“Oh, that is a storage ring? I thought it was a wedding ring…” Felicie said, as Zeras rolled his eyes.

“That said, if you think it was a wedding ring, why were you ogling another girl’s husband when he was asleep?” Zeras asked as Felicie’s face turned pink.

“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have such a thing in my head. It’s just that the chair was too cold, and the woods were colder.

But the bed was a little bit warm, so I had no choice. You wouldn’t be angry at that, unless of course, you wanted to watch me freeze to death?” Felicie defended as Zeras shook his head.

“It wasn’t even cold at all last night. What are you even saying?”

“It wasn’t cold last night!? I walked through the freezing snow, my lips frozen with ice, and lost the feeling in my legs due to the coldness, all in search of you.

Then I had to slave a quarter of the night away for your little assignment, and the other quarter of the night away on an incredibly cold cramped chair or the cold wooden floor!” Felicie yelled out unfairly.

“Well, I guess?”

“How would you know if it’s cold or not? Can you otherworlders even feel the temperature at all? I’m not an otherworlder, remember?” She said, and Zeras nodded.

“Okay, I agree. I really couldn’t feel the cold temperature at all…” He said, causing Felicie to go dazed from shock, her lips quivering a little.

“What?”
