Chapter 47 - The Gathering
"Wow."
Reve had no idea of what to think of what he was seeing. He had just finished crossing the frost mountains and reached the coast of the island.
It was not something easy. He had to continuously circulate his mana around his body and now he had barely anything left. But that was not something to worry about right now.
Normally, after reaching a coastal region, one would connect with the sea. However, that did not seem to be the case.
Laid before Reve's eyes was an empty void. It was illuminated by puffy whitish-blue bodies. They appeared to be clouds.
The sky marked the end of the island…..? Why had Circe not told him about this mystical phenomenon?
'No, something is wrong!'
To Reve's knowledge, it shouldn't be like this. If Circe hasn't informed him, then that would mean she wasn't aware of this.
As Reve was deep in thoughts, he suddenly heard echoes of laughter terrorizing the atmosphere.
"Hahahahahaha. Hahahaha."
Reve's face turned ugly, 'I can recognize that voice anywhere. Even in my sleep. That damn god! He is still annoying me even when I haven't seen him.'
He had to admit the chaotic god was very good at his job. He sought chaos like a hungry god.
Reve sighed and focused on what was at hand. Where was the palace?
He noticed that the masked man behind him kept looking up, which directed his sight there, 'What in the actual hell?'
The palace was in the sky. No, not like that.
It was more accurate to say, at this very region, the sky and the earth had switched. The sky now marked the border of the island while the earth replaced the sky up in the air.
He could see the frozen sea up in the air. On this frozen ocean was a mighty palace made of pure ice.
He couldn't discern other things due to the weirdness of the situation.
'This is truly a magic phenomenon. The question is, is it passive or active? Was it created by Amethyst? Also, how am I to get there?'
Reve noticed that the young man behind him rushed past him. He jumped over the border and let his body freefall in the sky.
'What is he thinking?' thought Reve.
Just when he thought the young man would die to the air pressure, a swift gale gently swept him to the earth above. The young man stuck his legs on the frozen sea and miraculously, he defied the laws of physics. He didn't fall.
'Oh, I understand now.'
Reve admired the bravery of the young man. He wouldn't have dared to try that without knowing the consequences.
He smiled and did the same as the young man. A giggle escaped his lips as he felt his body falling in the sky. It was certainly a marvelous experience.
He felt the swift gale catch him just before he could suffocate. It rose up to the earth in the air.
As soon as Reve's feet contacted the frozen earth, his sense of gravity warped. Suddenly, he didn't feel as nauseous as he should be.
'Gravity Manipulation and an outstanding show of ice control. This definitely feels like the home of a god.'
He could finally observe the ice palace he spotted before. It was made of blue ice, sculpted by the divine hand. Even with the sizable distance between themselves, the sharp freezing atmosphere the palace generated still reached him.
All of a sudden, Reve rolled away from his spot. A long serpentine body emerged from the frozen earth. It attempted to eat Reve but the cat responded instantly with a sharp mana blast.
It gutted the head of the snake and it died. It was then Reve noticed that he was not the only one around. He could spot the young amazon and other strange people.
There were all looking peculiar.
'Just like me,' Reve realized.
This was the gathering of unique beings.
They were being attacked by blue serpents that rose up from the frozen earth. each of them had to fight them off as they rushed to the palace.
No one was dumb enough to focus fully on the serpents. One by one, some of them died. They were gobbled up by the gigantic serpents.
From thousands…...to hundreds...to mere tenths.
Reve made a hand sign, "[Enchant Body: Base]!"
Crystalline lines grew on his body as he blitz to the entrance of the palace. He was the fastest among them but he kept a stable pace.
Behind them was a large army of snakes rushing at them with an incredible speed. Reve calculated that, at this rate, they would catch up with them.
He increased the efficiency of his enchant spell and rushed up to those at the front.
'Hmmmm….there is a problem,' sighed Reve.
He was heading somewhere but there wasn't any entrance. The palace didn't have any openings. However, there seemed to be floating ice rocks that, at particular times, form a stairway to the only exterior door in the palace.
Reve understood this was Amethyst's way of challenging them. They had to find a way to climb the troublesome stairway. Reve increased his speed and began blitzing.
He closed his eyes and his senses accounted for everything around him. He was mentally sharper when using his sensory skills.
He was calculating the exact time he need to jump on each ice rocks.
Within a minute, he had crossed five ice rocks and was well on his way to the palace.
Since not everyone could step on the ice rocks at the same time, a fight ensued with those behind me while the serpents swallowed those that had not yet started their path to the door.
Reve and a few others successfully got to the door. They banged on it but nothing happened. Meanwhile, the snakes were gaining up on them.
No, they had already reached them. Just before they could gobble the group, the door subtly opened and the serpents immediately stopped.
They suddenly turned back and left while the group was left to ponder what was happening. However, since the door was open, they would find out inside.
