Chapter 208: Using That Trick Again
Even Ambrose, who considered himself widely traveled and well informed, had never seen a sight like this before.
Chunks of land of all different sizes floated in every direction, some bearing mountains and rivers, others lakes, volcanoes, or vast cave systems. There were even shattered, half-ruined cities scattered among them.
Each fragment was oriented differently. Some were upside down; others slowly rotated through the void. Yet the creatures living on those fragments seemed completely unaffected, just as people standing on the surface of a planet never notice its rotation.
The floating lands were not entirely isolated from one another, either. Occasionally, two fragments would drift close enough that their inhabitants could fire projectiles across the gap. Most simply hurled objects through the air, though whether they were fighting a battle or conducting some sort of cross-platform trade was impossible to tell.
Such a bizarre world… Could this be the divine realm of the prankster god Nalskiach?
Catherine looked just as astonished. Even the ancient records of the elves contained no mention of a place like this.
Ambrose was about to fly toward another floating fragment when he discovered a problem. After rising a few hundred meters into the air, a strange force seized him and prevented him from flying any higher.
Catherine encountered the same resistance. Even when the two of them combined their magic, they could not break through the invisible barrier.
Ambrose stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It seems that every one of these land fragments is its own miniature world."
