Chapter 46

  A little over three weeks went by in a flash. The medicine that Rillian Adore and Drakkel had brought only lasted for a week and a half combined. Drakkel had to locate more herbs around the mountain side.

  He knew there would be enough since Taliyah Raven was able to study herbs and find enough material to do so.

  The mountain was dangerous, but a great place to cultivate indeed. Between fighting sacred beasts and navigating the dangerous terrain, he had already made it back to the middle of Sword Master. He was at the pinnacle before, but making it to his current state in such a short amount of time wasn’t bad at all.

  Rillian Adore’s leg had mostly healed up and as long as he avoided rigorous activitiy for another half month, his injuries would heal completely.

  During Drakkel and Rillian Adore's time on the mountain, they had spoken about their pasts in their respective Swords Clans. Since Drakkel’s identity was revealed, Rillian Adore didn’t hesitate to begin questioning him and he entertained him due to his condition.

  Curious as well, Drakkel asked a few questions of his own, but Rillian Adore would side-step a lot of things, only really revealing things that were obvious or public knowledge.

  In the early days of their stay, Drakkel was the one hunting animals and collecting herbs and branches. However, Rillian Adore did give him some pointers on herbs to use to cook whatever game he found so they didn’t suffer from eating terrible food.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  When Rillian Adore was able to walk a bit, he went out to collect branches, but didn’t venture far so as to avoid encountering any dangerous animals or Sacred Beasts along the way. Now they both stood at the mouth of the cave, ready to leave the mountain.

  Drakkel believed that the Sword Step technique would be fine for Rillian Adore to use as long as he didn’t overdo it. Their items were gathered in hand, but Drakkel decided to carry Rillian Adore’s blade to lighten his load while they escaped the area.

  They both hopped onto the nearest tree.

  Then, as they did before, they leapt around, using the branches as leverage until they arrived at the exit to the forest.

  Once they reached the flat and clear walking path that they entered from, Drakkel handed Suntouched Rays back to Rillian Adore.

  Before they left the cave, Drakkel said he would go to Rillian Adore’s clan to give an account of what they saw.

  When staying in the Forest, they also reasoned that Rillian Adore should first return to the Golden Peak Swords’ clan in Heaven’s Path to let them know he was safe. While there, Drakkel would send a message to his master about what happened. As Rillian Adore now knew his identity, he had ways to keep his clan from finding out.

  With this and the fact that It was only a day and a half away compared to Auspicious Sign’s two days and Immortal Peak’s five to seven days, it only made sense that they went there next.

  So, after leaving the area, they headed Southwest to get to the place and because they were in a rush, they reached it only a day later.
