Chapter 1414.2
Davey searched the area where the black swamp was corrupting the dimension, but in the end, he couldn't find the beastfolk. It seemed Perserque’s worry was just a false alarm.If she truly had seen something strange, there was a high possibility that it was a simple coincidence of timing.
Davey never considered the possibility of her lying. There was nothing for her to gain from it, after all. However, he also found the black swamp to be very mysterious. He had no clue how such a phenomenon could have occurred.
He tried to poke at it a bit using the power of Predatory Assimilation, but the resistance only confirmed that it wasn't something he should mess with.
“What Kouna’s doing is incredible,” he marveled. “The range of her power increases every time she falls into a trance.”
For the first couple of times, Perserque didn’t think too much about it. However, every time Kouna restored the black swamp, she was instinctively learning how to handle the power little by little.
Seeing her gradually wield the power more powerfully, a power she hadn't even recognized at first, Davey wondered if it was truly okay to let her fully awaken the ability.
“Haah. Ugh.”
Kouna collapsed heavily right after she finished restoring the black swamp in its entirety. Davey caught her, and she avoided his gaze with a flushed face.
“Please carry me...”
“I know you can stand.”
“Please carry me...”
Facing her stubborn request, he sighed and tried to lift her onto his back. Yet, before he could, an invisible force lifted her into the air.
“Kyaa!”
“If you’re that exhausted, I’ll float you,” Perserque said while glaring at her.
Kouna frowned, her plan foiled. “Ugh.”
“You’re still immature, you naughty girl.” Perserque instantly saw through her intention and floated her up without caring whether she struggled or not.
Davey turned and asked the giant, “Are there any more swamps around here?”
“Hmm. No more here!”
“I hear no more sounds! But maybe one beyond mountain!”
The giant was surprisingly excellent at searching and reconnaissance.
Reptiles that looked like the Winged King's minions occasionally charged once they saw the giant, but Davey always crushed them before they could even come close.
Unlike some living beings that instinctively sensed the dimension's crisis, the Winged King and its minions seemed obsessed with killing the giant, no matter what was happening to the world around them.
“Scared of that fairy...”
“Me too...”
Unlike Perserque and Kouna, the giant was utterly terrified of Davey. It kept an eye on him at all times for several days as they purified the swamps.
