Chapter 534: Danger Ahead

The journey to Heaven's Peak was no easy task, as Derek and Katherine had to climb uphill, ascending through the very terrain where the Akuma tribe had once thrived, and which had been Katherine's home. Derek's powerful legs propelled him upward with skillful jumps, while Katherine matched his pace with agility and grace.

As they moved steadily uphill, Katherine couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "Derek," she began, her voice a mixture of curiosity and concern, "are we going to attack the human soldiers stationed at the Akuma tribe?"

Derek nodded in agreement, his expression determined. "We will try to reclaim all territories we encounter on our journey to Heaven's Peak," he replied.

Hearing Derek's response, Katherine's cheeks flushed, and a loving smile graced her face. Her heart swelled with pride and affection for him. Their connection had deepened during their time at the fortress, and it was clear that their relationship was more than just companionship.
