Chapter 59. Pond

59 59. Pond

As Orion thought of that, yet another thought occurred to him.

'If this body was indeed not born with a talent, then how come I have the talent when I awaken my system?'

Orion pondered deeply about this and felt that the body he occupied appeared to be full of mysteries, and he had only just scratched the surface of it.

At that moment, he suddenly felt his body sway a little as he noticed the boat start to float in the air, gaining height before it began to drift in the direction Miira pointed.

As the boat soared high and started to move forward, a gust of wind washed over Orion's face, causing his messy hair and white tunic, full of dirt, to sway in the wind.

'I like this world.'

He thought as he felt that.

Soon, his attention was drawn to the island's scenery. He saw lush green forests all over the island, and in the center of them stood a broken wall long enough to be seen from the island's coasts.

However, his eyes mostly stayed on the previously empty skull throne, where now sat what appeared to be a man.

Orion couldn't discern his features exactly from so high up in the air, but he could tell that it was a man with skin that seemed to be deep blue in color.

'So, that's the boss.'

He thought, looking at the man sitting on the skull throne.

Before long, the boat passed by the boss monster's location and appeared at the top of a small pond.

"That's the area where I have sensed three human lives."

At that moment, he heard Miira's voice from behind her. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Orion looked at the area but found nothing. Instead, it appeared fully barren. In the center, there was only a pond, and all around it were grasses. Besides that, there appeared to be no trees around the pond.

It appeared as though the pond was situated in the middle of a lush forest, and all around it appeared only grasses on the ground. As for the trees, they were in a circular position on the far sides of the area surrounding the pond.

'There's nothing here, and I don't see anyone.'

He pondered as he looked around the area, but no one was there.

Seeing that, he turned to Ralf.

"Land the boat near the pond," he said. "But not onto the pond."

Ralf did what he was told and landed the boat near the pond.

"Miira," he said. "Can you check once again and see if they have moved from this place?"

Miira nodded as she once again kneeled on one leg and put her hands on the ground.

A moment later, she frowned as she turned to look at Orion.

"No, they haven't moved," she said, appearing puzzled. "I can sense them, and according to that, they should be right here, just beside us."

Orion frowned as he heard her because, as far as he could see, there wasn't anyone in the vicinity, excluding their group of people. So, he couldn't understand if Miira sensed it wrong or if there was more to the situation that met his eyes.

Therefore, he walked around the pond, searching for any hidden caves, and also went near Runo and Ralf's group to search there.

However, at the end, he returned empty-handed. He couldn't find anything—not even a clue. It was as if Famir and Ryfin had disappeared after coming to this place.

"There is no one here at all."

As he kicked a stone near his feet into the pond, Orion shouted in frustration.

"Pudong!"

The stone fell into the pond and disappeared within.

When he witnessed this, Orion felt shocked because the water in the pond appeared so transparent that he could see fish moving in there, but the strange thing was that the stone he just kicked away after falling into the pond disappeared.

He didn't see the stone sink deeper into the pond through the transparent water. It felt as if the stone vanished when it entered the pond's water.

But Orion didn't get time to ponder about the pond as he soon saw a dark green tree vine thick as his arms crawled out of the pond like a snake, and the moment it crawled out, it latched onto Miira, who was washing her face by the water, coiling around her body, and then went into the pond.

Because the vine was too fast, Orion couldn't react in time to save Miira. He clearly saw the vine emerge from the pond, but when it latched onto Miira and took her into the water, its speed increased to the point that he only saw a green blur before Miira was taken away.

"Miira!"

Liira shouted loudly when she saw this and ran towards the pond, intending to jump on it.

But Orion didn't let her go, as he held her hand before she could jump.

"Go to the ship and warn everyone not to come near the pond," he hurriedly said to her. "I will save Miira. Go, now."

As soon as he said that, three swords came out of his pocket dimension, and his body started to glow red in activation of his absolute defense.

With that, he didn't waste any more time and quickly jumped into the pond.
