Chapter 1048 Setting Off To The Forbidden Lands (Part 2)
"Forbidden Land..." Searoth was surprised when he heard Evan and looked at him strangely.
"Why are you going to the Forbidden Land? Don't tell me after turning the Gehenna Empire upside down, now you want to mess with the barbarians who live there."
Evan was speechless when he heard Searoth and asked while rubbing his eyebrows.
"Do you think I am mentally ill or something who likes to cause chaos everywhere?"
"Well..." Searoth didn't speak loudly but his expression clearly said, 'Aren't you?'
Black lines appeared on Evan's forehead when he saw Searoth's expression, and he took some deep breaths to stay calm.
'Damn it, why does everyone think that I am some kind of maniac who likes to cause chaos everywhere?'
Seeing Evan's irritated expression, Searoth coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"So, why are you going to the Forbidden Land? That place is quite dangerous. Especially for the low-level core evolvers like you."
Hearing Searoth, Evan calmed down a bit and said in a light voice.
"I just need to confirm a few things there, and I will avoid the barbarians and other species who live there, so it won't be dangerous."
"Even if you ignore them they won't ignore you," Searoth shook his head when he heard Evan.
Evan raised an eyebrow and asked in a curious voice, "Have you been in the Forbidden Land before?"
"Yes..." Searoth nodded his head. "It was a few thousand years ago when I went there. At that time, I was just a Rank Four core evolver. I went there to look for a suitable place for Lava Demons, hoping to find a place where we could live without any fear. But the environment of the Forbidden Land was completely unsuitable for us Lava Demons. While I was in the Forbidden Land, I met a Rank Four Barbarian. Similar to me, he was also at the Peak of Rank Four and when he saw me, he challenged me to a fight..."
Searoth paused after saying this and after a moment continued with a bitter smile on his face.
"During the fight, I was completely outmatched by him and he defeated me without much trouble. Only after fighting him did I realize just how strong the barbarians who live in the Forbidden Land are."
Evan was stunned when he heard Searoth's words. Although it hasn't been long since he came to Utopia, he knew that Lava Demons are one of the strongest demon species, but Searoth is saying he was beaten by someone who was the same rank as him without much trouble.
"Could it be that guy was a top genius of the Barbarian Race?" Evan muttered with a pondering look on his face.
Hearing Evan's muttering, Searoth chuckled and shook his head.
"At that time, I also thought the same thing. But soon I realized just how wrong I was because after that guy, I met two more barbarians while I was in the Forbidden Land... And both of them were also as outstanding as the one who defeated me first."
"Damn, old man, I never thought you were so weak," Evan said with a strange expression on his face when he heard Searoth was defeated three times in the Forbidden Land.
Searoth's face twitched uncontrollably when he heard Evan, but he did not say anything because he also felt he was indeed weak when compared to the top Lava Demons like Valtair.
"By the way, have you found anything strange about those barbarians? I mean, it seems unrealistic to me that every single barbarian is more powerful than normal evolvers at the same rank."
Hearing Evan, Searoth thought for a moment and said in an uncertain voice.
"I am not entirely sure, but I think all the barbarians possess a special bloodline or something that increases their power to a higher level than the core evolvers of the same rank. Moreover, the physical abilities of those guys are completely out of this world. Even the giants, who are known for their physical strength are inferior to them."
"Bloodline..." Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Searoth and felt he might be right. After all, he knew very well some bloodline skills could give their wielder a huge advantage in a fight against the same rank core evolver.
'There is also a chance that the barbarians have a special physique, but it's unlikely because Searoth said all the barbarians were stronger than the normal core evolvers of the same rank, and it's impossible for all the barbarians to possess a special physique.'
Evan thought about everything, but in the end, he shook his head.
'Forget it, I will understand everything once I go there...' He said to himself and his lips arched upwards slightly. 'Besides, the stronger the barbarians, the better it will be for me.'
Evan had no intention of fighting against the barbarians, but if they came to trouble him, he wouldn't mind collecting some of them into his shadow storage. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Just be careful when you go there..." Searoth was unaware of Evan's thoughts and said calmly. "Come back in three days, I will finish your armour by then."
"Three days, huh..." Evan rubbed his chin upon hearing Searoth and nodded his head.
"All right, I will come back after three days." He said and started to walk towards the door. As he reached the door, Evan remembered something and shouted to let Searoth hear his voice, who was hammering a metal.
"Don't forget to add that thing to the armour."
Searoth didn't respond hearing Evan, but Evan knew that the Lava Demon heard him, so he didn't stay there any longer and left the house.
As soon as he left the house, the temperature around him decreased quite a bit.
Although it was still very high for normal people, he didn't need to use Prismatic Fire to protect himself.
"Now that I just have three days, I should prepare a few things that will help me in that damned place," Evan said to himself and left from there.
