Chapter 735 The Way

"Do we need anything special to get to Death Shore?" Wain asked with a serious look as he stared at Marlis.

"No, just be sure you're at the peak of your strength now and we can go." Marlis uttered before getting off his chair, "Honestly, I wish this would be over already. By the way, don't forget that you have to get out of there yourself."

"Sure. Your job is just to get me there. I'll do the rest myself." Wain said in a confident manner while a majestic aura emanated from him.

"That's the right attitude!" Osvald exclaimed, walking over to Wain and patting him on the shoulder, "Guy, it'll be dangerous, but if you survive you'll be a real man!"

"Hmm? I'm, like, twenty-five already! Although... Damn, how old am I now? Maybe 26...?" Wain muttered with a confused look as he frowned.

"Never mind." Osvald waved his hand, "I haven't remembered how old I am in a long time, though that's true of most who reach Fourth Chronicle or above, we just live too long."

"I agree. I don't remember that either, since it doesn't matter as much as it used to." Marli muttered in a careless manner before turning to Sven and asking, "What about you?"

Sven smiled and replied, "I remember every single day lived, so I know how old I am."

"What...?" Marlis muttered while in disbelief, "Then how old are you?"

Her eyes lit up as her look showed how much she wanted to know.

"Well, I'll let myself keep it a secret, but I'm probably a little younger than you or Osvald." Sven said with a calm look with a smirk on his face.

"Damn! Why are you always so secretive? Is it so hard to be honest and open?!" Marlis exclaimed with puffed-up cheeks.

"Ahahaha, I'm sorry, but I can't change who I am." Sven laughed, then his look became serious, "Okay, now let's get down to business."

Wain and Marlis nodded.

"Osvald and I would like to go with you, but because of the specifics of Death Shore it will only make things worse, so you will have to handle everything alone. However, I have a gift for you that I hope will save your life." Sven said as his ring shone brightly.

A stone cube appeared in his hand, engraved on each side. An eerie aura emanated from the cube that gave everyone goosebumps.

[Holy Skull Cube (Fifth Chronicle, Legendary Rating)

This cube contains the energy of hundreds of dead saints who never committed a single sin in their lives.

Can imprison any living creature].

? Whooooosh.

Sven passed the cube to Marlis. She caught it and said, "Thanks, but are you sure we'll need something that serious?"

"Sure. Getting to Death Shore might be even more dangerous than being there, so everything should be as safe as possible." Sven said as he nodded his head.

"Let's go. We've lost enough time already." Wain said as he stared at Marlis with an ice-cold look.

Marlis turned and a shiver ran through her body that she hadn't expected at all.

'Damn... When did he get so strong? He's still in the Fourth Chronicle, what will happen when he reaches the Fifth Chronicle...? Marlis internally uttered as she glanced at Sven, 'Wain heir to the Nameless King... but what is Sven's plan? What's he up to?

Marlis sighed, shook her head, and said, "Okay, let's go. I warn you, don't do anything strange or unexpected. If you get in danger because of it, I won't risk saving you. Do you understand me?"

"Of course." Wain shrugged, "Just get me into Death Shore."

"Fine. Then let's go right now." Marlis said with a serious look as she headed for the exit of the bar.

"Good luck. Come back as soon as possible, Osvald and I will be waiting for you." Sven said with a slight smile on his face while slowly waving his hand.

Snap.

Marlis opened the doors as a stream of darkness from the open space burst inside, then Marlis walked on as though it were routine.

Wain stood still for a while, staring at the darkness, and followed Marlis.

Tremble.

Immediately a powerful pressure came upon him, but it did not stop him as he stepped forward.

'How strange... When Marlis saved me by taking me from Dragon World, the pressure of open space almost crushed me, but now... I feel only unpleasant tingles.' Wain muttered as he swung his arm.

There was nothing but darkness in the open space that was so dense that it sought to displace anyone who came here.

Marlis walked slowly forward, suddenly she flinched and turned to Wain as if she remembered something important.

Her palm was covered in green energy as she was about to protect him with a barrier, but suddenly her eyes went wide.

"What...? Are you all right?" Marlis muttered while in disbelief.

"Yeah." Wain shrugged in a careless manner, "I'm not quite used to it yet, but I'm even starting to like it. It feels like there's no one here, just me and nothing..."

"Damn... This is actually amazing. Looks like after absorbing a billion souls you're a lot stronger than before." Marlis uttered while shaking his head.

Wain nodded and they set off.

Marlis walked slowly through the darkness, occasionally looking around as though looking for something or trying to spot something important.

"Where are we going?" Wain asked, following Marlis.

"I'm looking for where space is weakest. We'll have to go to the depths of Purgatory to get to Death Shore, and I'm trying to pick the safest place." Marlis said with a serious expression.

"A safe place? Who are we going to protect ourselves from?" Wain asked while in confusion as he tilted his head.

Marlis frowned as she took a deep breath.

Crackling.

Suddenly her look changed to frightened and she turned around. Tension increased as well as Marlis' aura grew.

Cracks appeared in the void, and then, out of nowhere, a massive dark paw with glowing claws emerged.
