Chapter 449: Cacti-Folk

Zero groaned. They have been travelling for a week now without any interesting happening. After looting Gnaway and trying to track the whereabouts of the hideouts, Truen and Zero found only one note saying that gnomes have travelled further to the West to settle down after Gnaway had fallen.

While they had a lead now, it wasn't much good for them. Thinking back about how the entire city started to collapse after Zero retrieved the Phoenix's Pearl, Zero couldn't help but feel slightly remorseful. That city might have been a ruin but there was simply too much unfound potential in it. Everything was now dust and Truen informed him that the djinn was no more. He didn't specifically say it but Zero somehow knew that Raju had returned back to the cycle of life. No wonder he didn't want to see Raj even if they were related. Raju must have known that his time was almost up.
