Chapter 178 - Dark Continent Mystery

Axel was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling of his room. He couldn't shake the feeling that something about this mission was off. Taking an object named blood dagger from the Kakin Second Family, the dagger itself from the Dark Continent, sounded like a straightforward task, but the mention of it being connected to the Dark Continent set off alarm bells in his head.

He sat up and rubbed his face, trying to clear his thoughts. He had heard many stories about the dangers of the Dark Continent, a place where the most lethal creatures and unknown diseases were said to reside.

And now the blood dagger was connected to it. He wondered what kind of power it held and why the Kakin family would want to possess it.

"The thing is even I dont know much about Dark Continent itself because, the story itself did not focused on that matter for a fact."

Axel got up from his bed and walked over to the window, staring out at the night sky. He knew that Ging and the others were preparing for the mission, but he couldn't shake his unease. He decided to take a walk outside to clear his head.

"As I improve and increase my power, the time will come where I will arrive at Dark Continent. I know that for a fact."

As he strolled through the streets, he saw people going about their business: vendors selling their wares, families walking hand in hand, and groups of friends laughing and chatting.

Blancas and Arven joined him after a few minutes, and they sat in silence for a while, lost in their own thoughts. Axel could see the same unease in their eyes, and he knew that they were all thinking the same thing: what were they getting themselves into?

Ging's voice broke through the silence as he approached them. "We leave at dawn," he said, his voice low and serious. "Be prepared for anything."

Axel stood up, his mind made up. He knew that this mission was dangerous, but he also knew that it was something that had to be done.

Ging and his team made their way to a small airship that was stationed outside the city. It was a simple vessel, without any identifying logos or markings that would give away their mission.

One by one, they entered the ship, each carrying their necessary equipment.

Axel was the first to board the airship, his eyes scanning the interior for any potential threats. He was on high alert, knowing that they were about to embark on a dangerous mission. He settled into his seat, mentally preparing himself for what was to come.

He turned to his companions with a determined look in his eyes. "Let's do this," he said, his voice steady. "For the sake of the mission and for the sake of the unknown dangers that await us,
