Upon hearing Jared’s words, Hamish and Misho grew silent. Igor was slightly surprised. “I didn’t expect someone as young as you to have such wonderful insight. No wonder Mr. Whalreth was willing to teach you his techniques.”
Clearly, Dalton had told Igor about Jared knowing how to perform Sacred Light Fist.
“It wasn’t just Mr. Whalreth. Mr. Baal rescued me before, too.” Jared smiled.
“What? You’ve met Baal? Where is he?” Igor was taken aback. Dalton and Rosetta were equally flabbergasted as they had never heard Jared mentioning his meeting with Baal.
“Mr. Baal should be in the Ethereal Realm, but I’ve no clue where he’s hiding.” Jared shook his head.
He didn’t know where Baal was hiding, but he suspected it was somewhere obscure. No doubt he’s investigating the Celestial Battle still. Although over a thousand years have passed, they have been suppressed for such a long time without a clear reason. It’s no wonder he wants to get to the bottom of this matter.
Igor sighed. “After Baal and the others vanished, the demons became public enemies.”
Following that, he turned to Misho and Hamish. “While Blood Spirit Valley belongs to the demons, I’ve done nothing reprehensible nor hurt anyone.”
“Old Mr. Giuvali, Mr. Chevalier, Blood Spirit Valley is indeed different from other demons.” Jared then explained to Misho and Hamish about Rosetta being infected by bloodlust.
When they heard how Rosetta had drunk Dalton’s blood to avoid harming innocent people, their attitude toward Blood Spirit Valley became friendlier.
“Dalton, Ms. Lothian…” At that moment, Cloud and the others approached the duo.
“Mr. Seizon!” Dalton and Rosetta exclaimed joyously when they saw Cloud. After all, they had developed a bond when they were at Night Sea.
“Have you come to Demonia Mountain for the matter of the Celestial Battlefield, too?” Igor asked Jared.
Without hesitation, Jared nodded. “That’s right, but we encountered some delays on our journey. I wonder if the magical items hidden in the Celestial Battlefield have been taken by others.”
Swiftly, Rosetta said, “The Celestial Battlefield hasn’t opened yet, Mr. Chance. No one can enter to take anything, so you aren’t late at all.”
“What? It’s not opened yet?” Jared was dumbfounded. Hamish and Misho were similarly dumbstruck. After all, they were told the Celestial Battlefield had been discovered, yet apparently, it hadn’t been opened yet.
Igor explained, “The Celestial Battlefield is indeed on Demonia Mountain. However, it isn’t within Demonia Mountain. The battle from way back then was capable of splitting space open. If such a battle had occurred in the Ethereal Realm, the whole place would’ve crumbled. While the Celestial Battlefield is located on Demonia Mountain, it’s in another space. Right now, in the heart of Demonia Mountain, a crack leading into that other space has formed. However, it hasn’t fully opened yet, so there are only temporal disturbances there. No one can get through it.”
Upon listening to Igor’s explanation, Jared understood something. He recalled the island in Night Sea and the dead dragons. Those were also located in an alternate space.
“In that case, it seems we aren’t late at all.” Jared breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, whether one can obtain the magical items in the Celestial Battlefield will depend on one’s luck!
“Of course not. Not only that, we can ensure you’ll be the first to step foot into the Celestial Battlefield.” Igor grinned.
“I can go first?” Jared was stunned.
Once the Celestial Battlefield was opened, groups of people would undoubtedly swarm toward the entrance, and there would be chaos. As powerful as Jared was, there was no guarantee he could get there first.
