“Alright, let’s do that.”
Gebel gave a faint smile. Seeing the hint of fear fade from his face, Isaac felt a sense of relief.
In truth, Isaac had been worried that after completing his revenge, Gebel might follow his fallen comrades and take his own life. But with Isaac by his side, perhaps Gebel would find new purpose.
“However, my current concern isn’t my old comrades. It’s what lies beyond once we reach the mainland. If we’re heading to Miarma, then just beyond the desert is the Outer Realm, isn’t it?”
“The Outer Realm?”
“A place beyond the reach of the Codex of Light’s order, where creatures of chaos roam. It’s said to be a refuge of the old gods. There might be monsters from there crossing over.”
Isaac, of course, was familiar with the Outer Realm. In the game, it was an unfinished zone, a place where rebellious players would venture, only to meet inevitable death at the hands of monsters far beyond their abilities. The creatures there were portrayed as impossible to defeat.
But in this world, the Outer Realm wasn’t an “unfinished zone.” It was a real land, inhabited by the ancient monsters born from Nameless Chaos. Isaac wondered if Gebel was aware of the full implications of what he was talking about.
