[Hu, Huhu… It’s been a while since I felt like I broke through my limit.]

After realizing that she no longer needed to fly at a breakneck speed, Lotte spoke in relief. But seeing as how her tail was still standing straight, she still seemed tense. I stroked her head.

“Thanks. Are you tired?”

She arrogantly replied, [Hmph, this much is a piece of cake for a Blaze Queen! In fact, I’d like to thank Hero for letting me realize my own abilities!]

I suppressed a smile. “Yeah, yeah. Thanks.”

[Like I said, Hero doesn’t need to thank me!]

On the other hand, the wyvern Lotte dragged along was half dead. I thought about letting the pitiful creature go, but when I imagined Lotte carrying Ellos and Edias’ Hero with her claws, I stopped in my tracks.

I looked around. “Anyways, this is where the Peruta Mountain Range begins? It’s already pretty rough.”

The atmospheric mana I felt before was even thicker in this mountain range. Here, even the ground was affected by the high mana density. This meant that the cause of Edias continent’s strange atmospheric mana was here. It was truly absurd. The size of Seoul was nothing compared to Edias continent, but was there something in this mountain range that could affect the entire continent?

I became certain. It was Peruta. It had to be Peruta. Why else would this mountain range have his name? This also explained why this mana felt so familiar...
