章 37: The Severed Head

Sacred City of Naxos…

After his brief meeting with Beatrice, Lord Ymnes stayed in Talasca for a night before leaving the sacred land.

The city was protected by a holy barrier that significantly nullified various forms of [Spatial Magic]. Because of this, he had to exit Naxos before he could open a portal to return to the Fortress Nation of Duranzia.

『I think this is far enough…』

Lord Ymnes thought this as glanced back at the sacred city now far behind him.

The outskirts of Naxos were filled with nothing but dense, tall trees and wild forests stretching as far as the eye could see.

A large part of this forest was known as the Man-Eating Forest, and it was a place everyone avoided. Safer routes were available for those visiting or leaving Naxos due to the many monsters living there.

However, since Lord Ymnes was leaving via spatial transport, he didn't have to worry about that… he had more pressing concerns on his mind.
