“Let’s go!” Said Lady Yui, and we shook into the sky from the central command while Lord Yazdi watched.

Our destination is region six, which is neighbor to the region five we are in, but the danger it represents is far greater. Still, it would be well worth it if we could find something substantial from the vestige, and I have a hope we would.

We did not speak as we flew, and if we had not been flying into the dangerous place and I needed to be alert to all dangers, I would have just closed my eyes and gone back into my core to work, considering it was Lady Yui who was doing all the work here.

The white ribbons had come out of her, and they had wrapped around our waists while their energy covered us whole.

She is flying us with her energy without any effort for us; the only thing I am doing is using my soul sense, which has a greater range than the soul sense of Lady Yui for many obvious reasons.

ROARRR!

Two hours passed, and the journey had been in comfortable silence when silence broke up by a shining black feline monster that flew toward us fast. I did not do anything as before I could, the white ribbon from the Lady Yui moved at the monster.

Rip!

The ribbon had slashed the monster into two without spilling a single drop of blood while we flew away without slowing down even for a second.

“Lady Yui, you have grown quite stronger since we met last time,” said Rhea with her eyes shining, seeing how effortlessly she had killed the monster. “We all have made progress, little Rhea; I don’t think my ribbons would now effortlessly cut through your diamond skin as they did with that monster,” said Lady Yui.

“Of course, they will not,” Rhea replied without a beat.

It seemed like she was used to the dark humor of Lady Yui that somehow came out; I had gotten a little stumped on the first days hearing her words.

“When you reach the High-Grandmaster class, my ribbons would also be useless as they are with Grandmaster Zaar,” she said as she turned at me. We had sparred, and lady Yui had used nearly all her strength to break my shields, which was utterly failed to do.

She is so powerful, even more than some of the Grimm present in this ruin, that even an absolute peak Grandmaster would have a problem defeating her.

She is already close to reaching the absolute peak of High-Grandmaster class, and through the project, I will take her there.

Thank god she had a bloodline; those with a bloodline are easier to advance than those with Inheritance.

Four more hours passed when we slowed down considerably; we had reached the boundary of region six.

The luminescent energy here is much denser; for a few minutes, it is getting denser, and it will get denser as we get further inside, which will make the monsters here even more dangerous; Ashlyn had fought with few to gauge their strength, and they are dangerous.

“It is time for the stealth method,” said Lady Yui, and tens of ribbons came out of her, enveloping us in the ball of ribbons that had turned invisible.

It had turned invisible; it had not just made us visually invisible but also sensorily. It also did not produce any fluctuation or air currents, making it near perfect stealth method in the air.

“Your stealth method is really good, Lady Yui,” I said to her. “Thanks, it is one of my best bloodline abilities,” she replied, and I could see how proud she was of her ability. If I had been in her place, I would have felt proud too.

It had been six hours since we had begun our journey, and we had crossed more than half a distance, but since we had reduced our speed, it would take considerably most to cross the rest.

Still, I think the whole journey should be finished within twenty-four hours, which is a lot less than what Rhea took. It had taken her three days to reach the place where the vestige was, though she did not move toward it directly and found it accidentally.

Still, even if she had moved directly toward it, she would have needed two and half hours to reach that place.

“Lady Yui, take a left; there is a powerful monster ahead,” I said, which made Lady Yui and Rhea look at me in question. I did not answer their gazes, despite them looking at me for a few seconds; the only reply they got was a smile.

“You know, sometimes I really hate your smile,” said Rhea, to which I again replied with a smile. It seemed to have irked her as she glared at me before looking away.

In the next few hours, I continued to warn Lady Yui about the monsters.

Ashlyn is just ahead of us, scouting the way; she had reached the place where that vestige is and came back. I had asked her to come back; there are too many powerful monsters in this region, more than I had imagined, and they are dangerous.

Some are even capable of sensing the stealth method; with Ashlyn just scouting ahead, we are easily able to avoid these powerful monsters, which saves us a lot of time.

“Right,” I said, and Lady Yui followed without question; we had reached quite close to our destination; in about one hour, we would reach it.

“I can’t believe we are able to avoid those dangerous bastards; when I was here, I had to survive getting chomped by some dangerous bastard every hour,” Rhea muttered and looked at me, and I once again gave her my irritating smile.

“It seemed like we really had to fight the monster,” I said softly as we reached the destination, and a few minutes later, Lady Yui’s expressions changed as well.

There is a monster sitting right on top of the vestige; there is no way we will be able to reach it without it sensing us, given its power; we will have to deal with it to reach the vestige.
