3751 Entering The Curtain

"You have a lot of things, man. I wish I had been as lucky as you," said the half-elf woman as I roamed the market.

"Leave our friend be, Seyna. I am sure he had a lot of things to buy before leaving," said the stone-skin man beside her, before leaving.

However, I could feel the soul sense on me; it had been since yesterday. The only time, it was not when I was in the auction.

I have been in the market since yesterday morning. I haven't slept or practiced, which pained me a lot, but it is not an opportunity, that will come soon, and I want to squeeze it to its fullest.

I could see many people looking at me, including the Sky Sovereign, but it was the risk, I had decided to take.

Hours passed, and it was late afternoon when suddenly, the whole environment changed again, like yesterday.

I turned and saw silvery rays coming out of the curtain.

The things that happened next, I had never seen happening. The shops disappeared at such speed, that within a minute, more than half of the market disappeared.

The ones that remained opened, only remained because the customers were still haggling with them. Some didn't know about that and simply shut the store, leaving only the things they were haggling over.

The people flew up and moved toward the curtain; I also rose in the air and moved toward the curtain.

There is no need for me to go back to my abode. It is already in my storage; I had gone out of the market for a minute and took my abode back to my core.

Minutes passed, and soon, I had reached the curtain with the hundreds of thousands of people. Watching the Sky Sovereigns, enter inside through the gaps between the rifts.

'Keep the things ready; I will be meeting you on the other side,'

Another threat rang through my mind. There were so many coming, that I got annoyed and simply blocked any soul messages coming toward me.

I do not need to hear it. If they came at me on the other side, they would leave the poor, some won't even have their life in their hands. To be honest, some of the threats excited me; I almost decided not to change my face.

Of course, I will be doing that; I may not fear these Earth Sovereigns, but I am scared of the Sky Sovereigns.

A few more minutes passed, and I moved forward, before appearing between two massive spatial rifts, before walking in.

Immediately, the scenery glanced in front of me.

From the lush greenery, there is destruction in here, with the dense spatial energies and rifts. A lot of them, though most of them are unmoving, but some are moving.

There is greenery in here, but most of it is small; there are no massive trees in here. The tallest tree around me is three meters tall, and it is an anomaly.

Buzz!

I looked around, while my armor and aura changed. As it finished, the formation activated, and my face began to change and so was the color of my skin.

A few minutes later, I am a person with a different aura and inheritance. Even Sky Sovereigns won't be able to recognize me, even if they test me with my aura.

With the changes done, I took out the tools.

This place is called stairs to home; a strange name, but not, when thinking about what this place is.

In this ruin, the place that used to hold the proper exits has degraded. It disappeared, so people found another way to leave; the more dangerous one, that killed a lot of people.

Here, I will need to find the rift, that will take me to my continent.

Which is a difficult job, since most of the rifts lead to space sea. Even those that are connected to the world, are usually placed with water. Considering the world is 72% water.

It is hard, but with enough time; I will be able to find a way to the continent. These tools will help me with that.

I looked tool, currently, it is blank, which disappointed me. I shouldn't be disappointed; I am not going to find the exit immediately. Only the lucky ones do; other people search for days, before finding it.

Seeing there was nothing, I moved forward while releasing the soul waves.

Within a few seconds, I started to sense the people around me, and there were monsters. Dangerous monsters.

They are powerful, which isn't surprising the kind of place it is. To survive, among all these rifts, the monsters would need to be powerful.

I have no intention of clashing with them and moved with my stealth power active.

Bang Roar Bang!

I may not have intentions. Others sure seemed to have it and it is none other than the Sky Sovereign who is fighting.

I am a little too close to battle for my comfort and increased my pace. I hope the stealth method, on which I have worked so hard, works as the tests show.

The stealth method is one of the things that benefitted most from my increased knowledge of the forbidden power.

I truly feel like the stealth method become better than before. The thing that made me feel it is how it is getting melded into the surrounding environment fast.

It is 21% faster than before, which might not seem like a lot, but it is.

The stealth methods are the thing, I especially focus on crafting the inheritance. They are responsible for my survival, and I want them to best as possible to increase my chances of survival.

Minutes passed, and I heaved a sigh of relief when I moved away from the battle.

Hun!

I turned to the instrument in my hand and was surprised to see, it was not blank anymore. It had caught something; it is very faint, but I don't mind as long as it is something.
