Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

151 Chapter 151



"The great wall?" Acht asked confusedly.

He was already aware of what this great wall was since he read about it before in the novel and also when he first came into this world but he still kept an oblivious front just in case.

As much as it was still a mystery, humans were able to discover many things about this thing.

"As you may know, the Lower world is a huge ball-shaped planet and that's a fact. But, what many don't know is that around the perimeter of each, there is an indestructible barrier that makes these three continents locked inside without being able to get out to check the other side of the planet."

Lenny explained while thinking that Acht wasn't aware of this information. It was indeed not something many knew since if the people knew that they were trapped inside a barrier, they would feel threatened.

It won't change their lives or anything like that, but they will still feel uneasy and scared. Humans are creatures that seek freedom, after all.

Lenny tapped on his cane as he continued,

"We don't know who or why these barriers exist in the first place. But, this isn't our topic at the moment. The mission is very simple: I want you to collect some Soul Lapis and take it back here."

"What's that?"

"Soul Lapis is a type of ore only found near the barriers where the soul force is very rich and dense. It's a really important ore for our next step." Lenny responded.

He didn't clarify what kind of ore is this or what it does but Acht couldn't care any less about it if it didn't harm him.

"When are we going?" He asked.

"Tomorrow morning. You have 4 days to get the mission done."

Then, the old man stood up and left the place. The only two left in the bar were Leon and Acht.

The silence and awkwardness from the previous night were still there so they didn't utter a single word.

Then, Lein suddenly stood up and walked to Acht.

She then glared at him with the difference in height between them.

"Don't be a fucking dead weight or I will kill you. Understand?"

Acht didn't refuse her challenge and looked her straight in the eyes.

"I want to see you fucking try." He replied before walking past her.

Both of them had one similar thought.

'There is no way I would be able to work with her/him.'

**************************

The next day, the two came to the bar at exactly 5 AM. The place they are going to is very far and also in the middle of the ocean. Wasting time traveling was out of the question.

"I already have the details of the mission, let's go." She said to the boy.

He nodded his head and then they left the bar.

The city was calmer than usual since it was dawn now and people are mostly either sleeping or are too drunk to even be able to move.

So, for the first time, Acht was able to witness Evernight empty of people. It was a very soothing feeling to walk in the empty streets of the city, enjoying the morning breeze and listening to all kinds of small noises that somehow create this beautiful natural melody that couldn't be copied.

The only downside to this is that he was walking with someone he doesn't particularly enjoy being with.

But, there was nothing he could do so he tried to ignore it.

The two finally reached the portal in the city plaza.

"Our next destination is the east coast." She said to Acht.

For the portal to send them to the same place, they should be thinking of the same place. It was a function that made the portal capable of sending multiple people to multiple different locations at the same time.

The same familiar light of a teleportation process engulfed Acht and when he opened his eyes again he was already in a very different place.

He looked ahead of him and the sunlight immediately assaulted his eyes.

He had been in the darkness for some time now, so a little bit of sunlight was indeed a very refreshing thing.

After that, he took a look at his surroundings which were a clear contrast to Evernight.

This place seemed to be as lively as Evernight but for all the opposite readers.

The place was filled with traders and people working all kinds of jobs. This city center was almost like a market for all kinds of goods.

He could also see on the horizon the blue sea and its mesmerizing beauty as ships came and went constantly. The port where most of the ships were was also filled with workers who are transporting the containers.

It was a coastal trading city through and through.

"This city is called Tajer…it belongs to a kingdom named Malzahar that's close to our kingdom." She explained as they went down the portal and into the bustling streets of this coastal pearl.

They could barely hear each other's words with the loud sounds around them.

'It's somehow not that annoying.' Acht thought surprisedly.

He could feel the rejuvenated sensation that this city has. It felt like a happy place for some reason.

The two then reached the port. It wasn't a long journey since the city was very small anyway.

But, instead of entering the port, Lein walked to the beach area close to the port.

She didn't seem to be intending to use a ship to sail.

The beach area had some people there since it was summer and the weather was hot but not that many people.

"What are we doing here? Aren't you going to use a ship?" He asked as he looked around.

"Fuck no." She said as she rummaged through her things and pulled out a weird mask that resembled that of divers and said. Though, it had so many things different from that of a normal diving oxygène mask.

"We will swim."
