Chapter 124: The Border’s Newcomer
Inside Anos’s mind, a tiny version of himself clutched a handkerchief and wept tears of gratitude.
There was just one thing he didn’t quite understand in what Illiya had said: why did he specifically mention his steward? Was Sebastian supposed to be able to patch the sky or something?
But after all these years together, he’d never seen Sebastian successfully mend anything. Frankly, it was already a minor miracle if Sebastian didn’t outright destroy something.
Sebastian: the eternal nemesis of craft lovers everywhere.
After Illiya had done his polite (and slightly perfunctory) duty answering the Demon King, he devoted himself entirely to observing the mysterious circle that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Calling it a circle might not be entirely accurate, or rather, it was better described as the border. This circle marked the sign of passing through the border; it truly looked like the sky had been punctured, leaving a gaping hole.
It seemed that someone had passed through the border and was about to arrive in the Demon Realm.
Although Illiya did not know who had passed through the border, he had to admit that this person’s strength was impressive, and their luck was exceptional.
Their strength was evident because they could pass through the border smoothly. The magic elements within the border were violently turbulent—if not for his racial talents, Illiya suspected he would not be able to withstand these elements’ enthusiastic "greetings."
Their luck was apparent because they had randomly arrived in the Demon Realm instead of the Sky race’s territory or the Dragon race’s territory. Those two realms were far more dangerous than the Demon Realm. Setting aside the perilous seas surrounding Dragon Island, the Sky race’s peculiar entry requirement was practically a death sentence on its own.
"Entering the Sky race’s territory requires the ability to fly."
