Chapter 102
In the vast world of Mortal Desolate, this island wasn’t anything special, just a dime a dozen, but there was something particularly odd about it that was difficult to put into words.
In the far distance, flocks of frightened avians were dotting the vast sky, frantically trying to escape the chaos coming from the Arcane Mountain. Even though the battle was very far away, flashes of light could still be seen on the horizon. Thankfully, this region had yet to be affected so it was a suitable place to be used as shelter.
Their appearance created a loud disturbance to this otherwise peaceful environment.
As the large number of them began to approach the peculiar island, they surprisingly flew past it without any consideration.
While the island was on the smaller end of the spectrum, given its vibrant ecosystem and lively vegetation, it should’ve been viewed as an ideal area to reside, and yet, the flocks of avians decided to strangely ignore it.
It was almost like the island was invisible.
They continued on their journey to find a suitable habitat, however, there was a small minority that astonishingly ended up landing on the island. It wasn’t on purpose, of course, but by total accident.
There were simply too many of these monstrous birds that were migrating to find a new home. They were like a swarm of locusts, flying both high and low across the wide space. As a result, some of the ones closer to the surface of the ocean suddenly found themselves in a predicament as their paths were suddenly blocked by towering pillars that had emerged out of nowhere.
In their panic, they tried to avoid the obstacles as best as they could, but unfortunately, with everything happening so abruptly, the handful of birds that were caught in this situation weren’t able to react in time and one by one, ended up face planting onto the barks of those pillars.
