Leaving the Land of Desolation, the Mist Captain did not take Nikita back to the ship.
Instead, he led her through a swath of fog.
When the Female Demon followed the Captain out of that fog, she detected a familiar scent.
Looking up, the lush canopy of towering trees intertwined, leaving scant gaps for the sky; looking down, multi-legged crawlers quickly scuttled from one pile of fallen leaves to another, holding a droplet of nectar in their pincers—tonight's dinner. Fist-sized mushrooms glimmered with enchanting blue light amidst the moisture, and the unseen chirping of birds echoed softly in the darkness.
The Young Female Demon covered her mouth, her face revealing a blend of horror and sorrow.
This was Silent Forest.
Located on Buji Island, outside First University, it was a vast forest interwoven with light and darkness.
It was also the place where Nikita had fallen.
"I can feel the fear deep within your soul," the Mist Captain's voice rose in front of her.
