I appeared on the other side.

As Kara had said, we had appeared out of the main gate of Lake Command, along with tens of other people.

She is beside me, and I could see her soul sense moving as she searched for me.

She will not find me. At the moment I had stepped into the gate, I had changed my aura and the armor. I am not the only one. She had also done the same. She is now a High Sovereign with black shimmering armor.

Mine is an off-white color and looked like it is armor made from heavy-metallic plates.

The reason I could even see her is that I had left the mark of forbidden power on her, which will disappear in a few seconds.

Kara looked at me for a few seconds before she walked ahead. Where twelve sovereigns, including the familiar four leaders, had created a blockage.

Anyone who is coming out and coming in had to go through them.

Kara reached there and walked through the blockade without being stopped. They only heavily scanned her, but did nothing else.

These people are powerful, but there are more powerful people than them. Families and organization. So, they could not stop everyone. They are mostly focusing on Peak-Primary-III and Initial Sovereigns.

They sometimes would stop, a Mid-Sovereign, whom they suspect.

“Deactivate your armor and step on the disk,” said Ura as I reached the blockage. I did not question, I deactivated my armor and stepped on the disk.

I am a completely different man than they have seen before; I am shorter, with blond hair and amber eyes, and I am an earth-fire element practitioner of the Mid-Primary-III stage.

The only common thing they will find with this persona and others is that we are both humans.

There are lots of humans.

As I stepped, stepped on the disk, I felt it scanning me. The auras of Peak-Sovereigns have also scanned me from top to bottom.

They have a sample of my aura; both iras and tiger beastmen had collected it. That sample is fake. Even if they test it against me with even a powerful artifact, they will not get any response.

“You can go,” said Ura a second later with fowl expressions. I walked out, while faintly glaring at them.

I once again activated my armor and walk ahead.

I have two options in front of me; I could leave this ruin or explore it further. This ruin will stay open for another twenty-two days.

If it had been a day before, I would have left the ruin, but now I am going to explore. I need resources, not because Kara had taken a third of them, but because, after what I had seen in Kara, I would need more resources.

Unlike over ten people who made a Sovereign breakthrough in breakthrough formation, Kara’s breakthrough had given me the most information.

It is ten times better than what those gave me.

All the others who made a breakthrough were average, but Kara was not. She had a legacy inheritance, and it was powerful.

It gave me greater clarity on what I needed to do.

As the decision was made, I did not waste any time and asked my clone to look at the map. It is not the map I had brought, but the one I had stolen a glance at when the members of the Tiger Beastman tribe were looking.

It is far more detailed and has secret notes made by their predecessors.

I looked around before deciding on the place I need to go. It is not the place where I needed to break the formation, I think, I needed to refrain from it.

Unless there is no choice, or I am extremely sure nobody is looking. I will not break the formations.

It is too risky.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Those four families are out for my blood. If they caught even a scent of me, they would come at me like the bloodhounds. This time, the only escape I will have would be death.

I moved toward the selected destination with a disappointed sigh.

I had heard quite a few things from iras and beastmen. Some places could help me a lot, but I am sure bastards would be looking at those places carefully. Going there would be like walking into a trap.

Compared to it, the place I had chosen is much safer. Though still dangerous in its own right.

Seven hours passed, and I reached my destination.

Heart Canal Valley.

It is the only place in the Clear Lake Region, which did not have lakes. Instead, it had canals, and since it had the shape of a heart.

Thus the name.

It used to be farmland where they would grow herbs and other precious plants. It had been destroyed a long time ago, at the same time when people of this organization had run away, abandoning it.

It had now become a forest where dangerous monsters delve, but it also had a huge number of resources.

It is a big place, and many people visit here for the resources but stayed on the outskirt.

As the deeper you go, the more dangerous it will become. I will not stay on the outskirts, and I will not find the resources I need there, but the core is too dangerous for me. The best option is to stay in the middle.

I entered the forest.

I could sense the people. They are everywhere but despite that. I am finding the resources.

In just fifteen minutes, I have collected more than thirty of them. I could have collected more, but I am being careful here, using a different style to harvest, the resources.

It may seem a little too careful, but it is not. As I am already taking an enormous risk by staying in ruin.

If I had been wise, I would have gotten out of this ruin as soon as possible.

Hun!

An hour passed when I suddenly stopped. Not far away from me, two people are fighting. It is not a fight over resources, which is commonly seen in this place, but banditry.

I watched it for a few seconds, before resuming collecting the plants.

Till now no one had tried to rob me, but I am sure there will be. As long as it is not Sovereign or Peak Primary-III with legacy inheritance, I will be fine.

If the robber is too powerful, I could always hand over my storage. I had kept pretty precious stuff inside my ring.

Two more hours passed and surprisingly, no robber had come to loot me, and till tomorrow, no one will. The sky had darkened and energy is denser and gravity heavier.

The powerful monsters had begun to come out.

I am moving toward the hiding spot that Nero had found for me. It is a good spot, I will remain there, without being discovered by people or monsters.

A little more than ten minutes later, I reached it.

The first thing I did was take out the stealth formation and after activating it. I took out the abode and kept it at the smallest size comfortable.

I went inside the abode, which had a bedroom and kitchen side by side and a really tiny bathroom. It was smaller than the size I usually prefer, but it is the safest choice I have.

While I settled myself. Nero patrolled around the abode for a few seconds, before leaving.
