Chapter 68: The System Status
As I stepped out of the Demon King's castle, my mind was already racing. Where could Heaven's Wing be?
He wasn't the type to linger where others could find him easily. If he was preparing for something—or avoiding something—he would be in a place no ordinary being could reach.
I took a deep breath and activated Void Step. Instantly, the world around me blurred, and I surged forward at unimaginable speed. The ground beneath me disappeared in an instant, replaced by flickering shadows as I traveled across the vast Demon Realm.
One step. Towns and villages became distant memories.
Two steps. Mountains crumbled into the horizon.
Three steps. The very air around me trembled.
I came to a halt at the edge of a ruined battlefield—a desolate wasteland filled with shattered weapons, decayed corpses, and the lingering echoes of past wars. It was a forgotten place, one where time itself seemed to stand still.
A smirk played on my lips. "If there's anywhere Heaven's Wing would be, it's a place no one dares to tread."
I closed my eyes for a brief moment, sharpening my senses. The energy here... it's faint, but it's not gone. Someone—no, something—was still lingering in this wasteland.
I opened my eyes, my gaze locked onto the farthest reaches of the battlefield. "Heaven's Wing, I know you're here. Show yourself."
The wind howled through the broken landscape. A faint ripple in the air. A presence, powerful yet restrained.
