Galthor gave her a curious look. What he did was only look at the entity that was causing his masters trouble, and he did not even get to look at it fully, so why was she so shocked? "What?"
Of course Lady Pelica knew first hand of the god that was crouching behind Galthor, in fact she had to erase some of her own memories to stop the continuous breakdown of her bodies. But even with all this fact, it was still a shocking event for her to witness the Weeping Canyon getting silenced.
She shook her head and forced a smile. "The Weeping Canyon will not be raising its voice for a while, Chief Galthor. You have done something amazing."
Galthor shook his head. "Unchanging Warth did it."
Lady Pelica nodded. "Of course."
And in her mind she could not help the thought that spilled. '..should I start praying to this god? Of course not! At least not yet! I should wait and see the way the wind would blow!..'
Galthor was not aware of any of this. He was still looking down at the Weeping Canyon with a doubtful look on his face. And under his eyes, even though he was not using his real god eyes, the fog trembled and everything inside the place seemed to flinch.
Although they knew Galthor was not the one that attacked the Weeping Canyon earlier, they knew it was related to him.
'..maybe I should not have used this much dramatic power? I do not want to put a target on my back and besides, I could have just protected the mind of the masters..'
But then, how would he test his god mind? It was a way to know how capable it was. And as it turned out, it was very capable.
He turned back to the masters and waved his hand. Instantly a barrel of water appeared on the ground. "You all enter the Drowning. I, Brakthar, and Lady Pelica will cross over."
The masters did not protest. They knew when Galthor used his chief voice he demanded and did not ask for their opinions. Besides, none of them had any distrust toward him.
Brakthar nodded and went to the barrel. He submerged his body into the wooden barrel and the relic around his neck emitted a blue glow, growing slightly bigger.
He turned and focused on his fellow masters and the next moment, the space between them warped and they disappeared.
He got out of the barrel and took a deep breath. "I am ready, Chief Galthor."
Galthor nodded. "Wear your blood searching relic."
"Bu... but Chief..."
Galthor only looked at him with impassive eyes and under the stony gaze, Brakthar quickly did as he was told. A dull grey armor covered him, emitting a strong wave of bloodlust that slightly tainted the air around him.
Galthor nodded. "Good. Lady Pelica, are you ready?"
Lady Pelica scowled. "Why do you not let me join them in that relic? I will not have to do any of this then."
Galthor raised his brows without saying anything and her scowling grew sharper. "You still do not trust me."
"Do I have a reason to?" Galthor asked calmly.
They stared at each other for a while and then she shrugged and turned to face the Weeping Canyon. "See you on the other side then."
With that, a relic came out of her spatial... ring? Earring? Necklace? Either way, one came out.
It resembled a skateboard to Galthor, covered in runes that lit up the moment she put her legs on it. The board came to life and an invisible shield appeared to wrap around her and then she began to float.
Without a backward glance, she turned into a streak of light and shot forward.
Galthor watched her go.
Even though the Weeping Canyon was silent, they were still in an Abyssal land. And things were bound to go wrong. Very wrong.
As if things were following Galthor's internal predictions, as soon as she got to the middle of the Weeping Canyon, an invisible force suddenly slammed into her, sending her stumbling in the air.
And then the force began to push her down.
Galthor's eyes widened. "What the fuck."
The very air was resisting her. It was stopping her from going forward or upward.
"This is not the force of the Weeping Canyon. It is the Abyssal land. The laws of the Abyssal land are stopping her."
Galthor watched with faint amusement as she struggled briefly with the forces and then with a curse she flew backward. Strangely, nothing stopped her from returning to where she started.
Her hair was disheveled and she scowled. "This... this must be your fault. The Abyssal land has raised the difficulty of things. It is always easy to fly above it although you might meet a monster or two along the way."
Galthor did not say anything. Instead he turned to Brakthar. "We will use the bridge. You go first so I can watch your back. I want you to run as fast as you can."
Brakthar nodded and began to walk toward the bridge.
"Do not stop, no matter what. Remember that you have your fellow masters on you. No matter what happens, do not stop," Galthor said seriously.
Lady Pelica sighed, a flash of bitterness on her face over the fact that she was ignored. She tapped the skateboard like relic with her feet and the runes lit up once more.
But this time, the board fell apart and the metals wrapped around her legs.
Meanwhile, Brakthar put one foot on the bridge and it groaned, one piece falling off into the Weeping Canyon.
"Just for the record, what happens when one falls into that place?" Galthor asked.
Lady Pelica shivered. "That place is a twisting place of space time. If you fall down there, you will either fall into the territory of the entity that controls the Weeping Canyon or into any entity territory. Either way, it is not a good thing."
"Even you are afraid?"
Lady Pelica shook her head. "Entity is a broad name and rank for everything of power in this world, cruel or bad. You might be lucky and it is only a cursed monster lair. But you might also be unlucky and fall into the domain of a god. Or a demon. Or a Fallen."

Hello guys, :)
The reason I ask for gift is so that I can use it to meet up with my monthly minimum income so I can be paid. I'm a student still at school and I use this app to upkeep/survive.
Unfortunately, none of my books are sufficient enough for that and I have to ask readers, as well as gifts to make up.
And yes, I'm offering mass release for gifts above 1 chp/ 1,000. And if it's a castle, you can choose the amount of chapters you want as mass release.
Thank you so much for reading my book! I appreciate!!
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
