According to Laroy, Mt. Danpur was just one visible side from within the city, and it also served as the natural barrier on the easternmost edge of the Kingdom of Easteria.
Behind that was a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, teeming with countless demon beasts.
The Ancient Witch Village had been able to survive in Mt. Danpur for over a hundred years, so there must be a reason for that.
After Isaac and Allegra entered Mt. Danpur, the Skyrend Sword in Isaac’s hand turned into a makeshift sickle to chop through the overgrown path quickly overwhelmed by many weeds and trees.
Due to years of neglect, the path had become indiscernible. Isaac could only rely on his intuition to make his way up the mountain.
The terrain was steep and densely covered with vegetation, so Isaac and Allegra, who couldn‘t fly now, didn’t move very quickly.
Throughout the journey, Isaac remained very cautious and was constantly aware of his surroundings. He was worried about encountering demon beasts, but the most important concern was the mountain divine guardian beast that Laroy had mentioned.
***
Until sunset, Isaac was standing with Allegra on a sparse hillside. Looking down, they realized they had only climbed about 550 yards.
When favonovel.com turned around to look behind him, the towering mountain stood there like a giant monument right in front of his eyes.
Along the way, they encountered demon beasts three or four times, but each one was killed by Isaac with a single strike.
The two of them turned and continued to climb the mountain.
Just as the sun was about to set completely, Isaac suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Isaac turned his head to look at Allegra and saw that favonovel.com was struggling to move backward.
Her feet were firmly planted on the ground, and favonovel.com eyes filled with fear as favonovel.com stared ahead, unwilling to take another step forward.
Allegra shook favonovel.com head without speaking, favonovel.com eyes filled with fear. Isaac glanced down and noticed there were some faint white objects on the ground.
He hadn’t noticed the ground before, but taking a closer look now, favonovel.com found patches of white objects of various shapes scattered across the land.
Isaac took two steps forward and drove the Skyrend Sword into those things. With a swift motion, favonovel.com turned the blade upward, causing the soil to overturn and revealing white bones buried beneath.
Isaac squinted his eyes and realized that everything white in front of favonovel.com was actually bones. He examined a few more bones and realized that they weren’t human, but rather the remains of various animals.
Taking into account Allegra’s reaction, Isaac assumed they were near the Ancient Witch Village.
“Come with me.” Isaac channeled his spiritual energy and forcefully pulled Allegra as they quickly headed toward the higher ground on the right.
After running up the mountain for only a short while, Isaac suddenly halted and looked to his left. Through the gaps in the tree branches and leaves, favonovel.com noticed something unusual in a low-lying mountain pass on that side.
Isaac used his sword to clear away the branches in front of him.
Suddenly, his view brightened, and favonovel.com saw a cluster of simple wooden huts less than a mile to the lower left of his position.
Dozens of wooden cabins were scattered around, mostly situated within the mountain pass. If favonovel.com didn’t look closely, favonovel.com would never notice these cabins hidden in the dense forest.
Ancient sorcerer tribes?
Isaac quickly grabbed Allegra and jumped, diving toward the cluster of wooden houses below.
When Isaac took off, favonovel.com realized that the mountain pass favonovel.com just saw had far more than a dozen cabins. There were actually at least forty or fifty of them, hidden under the large trees or nestled in the middle of the mountain pass.
Just when Isaac was only a couple hundred feet away from these cabins, the once silent mountain pass area suddenly had dozens of figures rushng out from the cabins.
Isaac and Allegra had just landed on a rock when they were surrounded by about 30 people dressed in black.
There were about 30 people, all dressed in black tunics, and each one was surrounded by black energy.
Allegra’s body trembled even more violently and favonovel.com started to grip Isaac’s wrist tightly in return, favonovel.com eyes filled with immense fear as favonovel.com looked at the people around them cloaked in black robes.
