By now, I shouldn't be surprised that we arrived at the Sect by the dead of the night.
Sadly, there was hardly any other way to go around it. Unless we wanted to spend the entire night outside while taking shifts, wasting an entire day just for travel was regretfully necessary.
In the end, no matter how powerful I grew, it would be all for nothing if something came to eat me while I was asleep.
As such, I was already quite used to arriving late at the Sect... But it was a first for me to arrive in the middle of the night.
'Damned monsters,' I thought, recalling the one encounter during the journey that pushed our plans back.
A monster dared to attack the two of us right on the road.
Normally, things like this weren't supposed to happen... But whatever kept the monsters away from the road was ancient technology.
