章 189: The Climb

We arrived at the mountain the next morning. If it were just me, I would have arrived in less than a couple of hours via flight, but since Rina and Alex were with me, we had to make our way there on foot.

"I don't see any massive golden pillars reaching to the sky." Alex said. Being the only one of us who had no magic, she naturally couldn't be of much help.

"I sense it." Rina said after a moment's hesitation. "Faintly." She glanced at me. "Don't you?"

I shook my head. Even after concentrating, I couldn't feel a thing. 

"They probably did something to hide its presence from demons." Rina mumbled as her gaze swept the mountain range. "Which now also includes you." An almost childish smile appeared on her face. "Good thing we came with, right?"

I chuckled. "Yeah, I guess so." What else could I say? I couldn't say that I had conflicted feelings about them right now, could I?
