Chapter 346 Depressed Soul
Chapter 346 Depressed Soul
Raith frowned at the idea. Then began to scrutinize the expanse of land that spread out before his eyes. The sky was dark, there was no moon or stars to adorn it with little light, and the place seemed lost from the light, a veil of darkness that rejected every ray of light that dared to penetrate.
It was an impenetrable darkness, taking the form of a land.
Raith walked forward, flaps of sounds as his feet treaded on the black water, he arrived at the center of the dark sea. He had not been able to do this before because of all the things that were happening to him but he could look expensively at what Omnisavant called his zone.
\'All this is mine?\'
It felt different from when the abyss was the one in charge. Everything he received didn\'t feel like his, although this dark sea was greatly owed to the abyss, he managed to get a thing or two from the separation and this was one of them. Who knew that being exposed to the abyss would cause his soul to adapt in such manners?
\'Now, where are the treasures?\'
Raith turned around with visible glee in his eyes, checking every corner for where the treasures might be stuck...
\'It\'s pretty much cornerless\'
As he noted, it was just a wide waterscape, sure a few erected black rocks here and there but there were nothing more than that.
Disappointed he raised his head to the sky, that too gave him no comfortation. The darkness that fell from it threatened to swallow him in whole.
Raith lowered his head. Utterly disappointed.
He slumped down, in an attempt to sit lazily. But to his surprise, he slumped right into the water. The landscape before him rolled over.
He now found himself I\'m a very familiar wilderness. One that he particularly did not like, not one bit.
He frowned and muttered.
"This place"
It was the same place he had spent over seventy years in, so he had an awful memory of it.
Just like the dark sea, the soul was covered by a sea of dark clouds that cast a thick black veil over the land. Raith vividly remembered traversing this place for moments that felt endless, and infinite.
He shook his head, dismissing the gruesome memories that threatened him. Then looked around, he almost missed something.
"No..."
Raith looked around, even though he was positive that this was his soul, the very place he had to find the seed of the sin of greed. The more he looked at it, the more it didn\'t seem very much like it.
The rocks which stood erect before on several parts of the black land now seem to arching teeth, ready to close him up. Pointing their edges to themselves as though they were opposite sides of sedimentation ready to wage war against each other.
Raith stood in between these arched mountains, the land was wide and as far as his eyes could see, the mountains were all arching towards each other.
\'Omnisavant, do you know why it is like this?\'
[I\'m not able to provide answers to that as of now]
\'That means one day right\'
Receiving no response from her, Raith attempted to walk further but quickly turned his head as he heard a chirp.
It was towards the corner of the mountain that arched over his head.
\'Is there supposed to be any living thing here?\'
Curious, he went after the sound, reaching the area where the sound had come from, Raith\'s eyebrows narrowed as he saw them.
Two birds, wrapped around each other, shivering.
"What is this?"
[When you used Lacerous Grip and took the most priced possession of one of the assassins that attacked you, this was what was taken]
"No way..." Raith said in irritation. Dismayed.
[Yes way]
"A red bird and a blue bird?"
[Correct]
"What the hell am I supposed to do with a red bird and a blue bird?!"
Raith covered his face with both hands utterly disappointed at how worse his unlucky fate could get.
Omnisavant stayed silent.
After a few seconds of sulking, he looked down at the birds.
"So this is the most priced possession of that guy. The guy that could block out skills? What a life..." He shook his head.
"Well, what about the other one."
[I believe the horde for treasures is beyond you]
Raith looked forward, beyond the corner of the mountain was a cave with an entrance like the mouth of a beast, it was pitch dark but a faint radiance could be seen.
Raith was about to move but had a second thought and stopped, he looked down at the birds and picked them. They showed little resistance but he ended up picking them up, roughly though.
They endlessly chirped until he got to the cave where he dropped them.
His eyes glistened as they came to realize what was causing the faint glow in the cave.
"What the hell Savvy, what the hell?!!"
A wide-spread smile slashed his face. His eyes were sucked into the view before him, and the brilliant light of golden treasures radiated on his face.
"No no no... this is heavenly!" He screamed, rushing forward.
He leaped and jumped onto the piles of golden coins that rose in front of him.
Slumping down, he picked one of the coins and bit it, feeling its toughness with his teeth. Belatedly getting conscious of what he was doing he dropped the coin and stood up.
"Ahem... this is quite amazing."
[Yes it is]
"Let\'s go back"
\'How the hell do I deal with this side effect\'
—
In a few hours, Raith was ready for the raid. He was escorted out of the hotel by Ruan Zhaohui and her cohort of men in white suits, save she and Gilly who were dressed in black.
From the hotel till they got to the location of the gate, Raith didn\'t utter a single word, and it was for two reasons.
Number one, what would he discuss with an old lady, two; he would not have Ruan Zhaohui mention anything about Li Mingwu\'s death and whatever may be going on in America. He was too busy to care.
