Chapter 479: Echoing Willow
“Come on,” Alanah finally said. After that, the two of them walked the rest of the distance to the edge of the abyss—where Ryven was unable to go. It didn’t take very long before Derek and Alanah were standing at the very edge, looking down at the steep drop off.
“Whew…” Derek whistled. “That’s a long way down,” he said.
“Yes, it is,” Alanah replied. “Close your eyes and listen,” she said. “Do you feel how powerful the vibrations are just at the edge?”
“Let me see,” Derek said before closing his eyes and doing as he was told. The vibrations were certainly jarring—even to him, they were enough to make him a little more than uneasy. “It’s about at the point of your control when you try to give me a command when you aren’t transformed. I’d say that it’s enough to really affect or harm any person under level 200, or even many over level 200 that don’t have high rarity classes.”
“Mhm.” Alanah nodded her head. “That’s about where I would put it, too,” she said. “Using The Echoing Abyss to train up everyone’s Mental Resistance and willpower was certainly a good idea.”
“I also didn’t see any monsters around on our way here.” Derek pointed out. “Do you think those strong guards and fighters have somewhat got them under control?”
“It’s just about the only thing that makes sense,” Alanah answered. “If there were still level 220 plus monsters roaming around the edge here, there would be more guards around the more talented heirs and students that are training close to the edge.”
“I guess that’s true,” Derek said. “I bet there’s also someone who patrols the edge, too.”
“I would imagine so,” Alanah replied. “And if there is, then they won’t be your run-of-the-mill guard.”
