Under the harsh glare of the sun, Ashton could be seen walking in the middle of a desolated land.

He's wearing a white cloak with its hood on, underneath is a special suit that clung to his body that regulated his body's temperature, keeping him cool and calm even under the direct heat of sunlight. On his belt, the sub-artifact; Mortal Reminder was holstered, it's on its twin hand cannon form which is lighter and more accessible for use.

As he traveled, Ashton couldn't help but feel a little disheartened by what he's seeing around him.

He's still in the area where he left one month ago. The place near the collapsed demon nest.

The good thing is that the immediate area around the demon nest's vicinity was cleansed by the aftermath of his purifying flames. The sad part is that since the land in this area were corrupted for a very long time already, its vitality was completely sapped away by the corruption, leaving an infertile, dry land.
