Chapter 108 - Origin of the Nine-Heavenly Islands

A few weeks living with this old man and I'm just standing beside him idly. I'm not doing anything and he said to just wait patiently because he's "preparing" for something. I wasn't allowed to write a message to anyone. That includes the Crimson Knights. I'm still wondering what they're doing now.

"Zieglind!" Shouted by Herold.

"What?" I asked.

"Preparations are done. Let's go." He then placed his hand over my shoulders and the area around me began to change. As soon as I blinked and reopened my eyes, we were in a completely different area.

"What was that?" I was in awe.

"Teleportation."

"I see. Now, where are we?"

I looked around and it was practically a new world in itself. There's plants and trees everywhere in which I couldn't identify any single one of them.

"We're at the Nine-Heavenly Islands."

"What's with the name?"

"You want to know? Look that way. Run for about 20 kilometers then come back."

"Why?"

"Just do it."
