Homeward Journey on an Insect's Back

Linsey and Alvitte sat one behind the other.

The two rode atop a bug used for transportation, heading south toward the Underground City.

But compared to when Alvitte had first awakened, both of them now had their own thoughts, and neither spoke.

Linsey's mind was in considerable turmoil because of the news Alvitte had brought from the City of Law. He was doing his best to sort through the flood of information and pick out what he needed.

As for the Righteous Walker girl herself.

Although she had fallen unconscious, the power of an Awakened had also made her understand that she had suffered torment while unconscious, and that quite some time had passed.

But Alvitte had never imagined that the time in question would be eight years!

Nearly three thousand days and nights had gone by.

That might not have been enough time for the City of Law to undergo earth-shaking changes, but some familiar things must inevitably have faded away.

Along the way, Linsey tried to make conversation.

"Alvitte, don't you have anything else you want to ask?"

The Righteous Walker girl behind him replied:

"My head's a little of a mess."

Linsey did not know whether he could laugh, but he gave it a try anyway.

"What a coincidence. Mine's a bit of a mess too."

The two on the insect's back fell silent once more.

As Linsey organized his thoughts, he also kept his attention on his pack.

The Bloody Slime he had fished out of the Flesh Lake earlier was also a king fish with its own separate achievement.

He could now claim both the title and item rewards.

The former was an ordinary killer-tier title, while the latter gave Linsey a Blood Core.

3 Bloody Gems + Blood Core = Advanced Bloody
