บท 120: Echolocation
A couple of hours passed by before Izan commanded. "Defying, slow down the speed, we are nearing the area." He could feel that it wouldn't be long till they reached the place. The eerie presence he was feeling was getting stronger and stronger, but Izan could still continue forward.
Defying listened to Izan and slowed down the speed by around 70%. She was figuring things out as she could sense the different emotions Izan was trying to hide. But all in all, none of those things mattered to her, the only thing Defying wanted was to be of use to Izan. And she would do her best in doing so, be it in fighting or traveling.
Half an hour passed by before Izan stood up from his chair. "Stop here, Defying."
And as the mansion came to a stop, Jiutian appeared in the room, standing near Izan. "Are we near it?" She had to ask as she couldn't sense the 'eerie' presence Izan could.
Izan gave a nod before speaking, but this time, his voice sounded out throughout the whole mansion. "I will be going out to explore this area, I don't want anyone to go outside, because I have a bad feeling about this place."
"If you're having a bad feeling of this place, why are you going there alone?" Sybill asked in a low voice.
It wasn't only Sybill that were worried. Robin and Nojiko were trying to calming down Shirahoshi that wanted to go with Izan. Even Perona and Hancock were worried about letting Izan go outside alone.
Izan turned towards Sybill, his eyes squinted slightly as he spoke. "Because I have a feeling that if I don't go there now, something worse will happen in the near future." A sigh escaped Izan's lips before he continued. "And that is not something I can allow to happen."
After having said those words, Izan began walking towards the entrance of the mansion. He knew that both Defying and Jiutian were stronger than him, but he needed the two of them to protect the rest.
That's also why Jiutian didn't speak a single word about going with Izan.
Izan opened the door, he walked outside and closed the door behind himself. He was standing outside of the mansion, his back was straight like a sword, his eyebrows were sharp like scythes, his eyes were sharp too, even his expression was serious.
He glanced around and saw that he was around 100 meters above the ground, he was in an area filled with dark trees and the sky was black. He couldn't hear any noise around this place, there weren't any wind, no animals, no life or the presence of anything...
But none of that mattered to Izan, his body began flying forward with a fast speed, reaching around 100 meters per second.
It didn't take a few seconds before Izan's expression turned even more serious as the eerie presence became stronger for every centimetre he was going forward.
Izan was flying forward for only a minute before he stopped. He looked down and saw that he was in an area with nothing in it. There were no trees in the surrounding kilometre, and even the ground was black. Izan descended down slowly until he reached the ground.
But the moment Izan's feet touched the ground, it broke apart and a strong gravitation force pressed Izan down. Izan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he tried using his own Law of Gravity to push himself upwards, but all that it did was to slow down his falling speed.
Izan glanced downwards and could only see darkness, his falling speed only reached around 15 meters per second. Izan tried to count for how long he is going to fall, he wanted to know how deep inside the earth he would end up in.
1000 meters, 1500 meters, 2500 meters, 3900 meters, at this moment, Izan could sense his falling speed was becoming slower. It didn't take too long before he felt his feet touching something hard, he knew that he had finally landed. "Around 4500 meters, rather surprising..." Izan mumbled slightly, but the first thing Izan did was to tap the ground with the tip of his feet.
"This isn't hard soil..." Izan was trying to figure out some information, and the reason he was trying to figure out his surrounding was because he couldn't see anything in this darkness. "Most likely a hard material, this is made by someone or something..." Izan kept mumbling before he made a snapping sound with his fingers. *Snap*
*snap* *snap* *snap* Izan only made one snapping sound, the rest were echoes because of the surrounding. And Izan could figure out how this place looked based on the sound he heard from the echoes.
"Interesting that such a large place was created..." Izan stopped mumbling after this and began walking towards a certain direction, according to the echoes he had heard, this is the direction that he had to walk.
Izan's speed wasn't fast, but nor was it slow. And every couple of seconds, Izan would make a *snap* sound with his fingers, which would allow him to figure out how the surrounding looked without using his eyes.
There was something about this darkness that blocked Izan's eyesight, because even if there was no light, Izan should be able to see things clearly. 'The only reason for why I can't see is because this is planned by someone or something, they don't want me to see, trying to restrain my abilities...' Izan wasn't stupid, he knew that he was being targetted.
And as Izan was walking forward, he could see a small light in the horizon. Izan raised one eyebrow before lowering his body slightly before rushing forward while making a *snapping* sound for every half a second. He didn't put all of his trust into the light for him to know the surrounding area.
The light in the horizon became larger and brighter for every step Izan took forward. Izan was keeping his calm as he knew there could be an enemy there that could attack him or ambush him.
