Chapter 212

In the lone reaches at the end of Farz Mountains lies the West End Valley, gloomy and eerie to the extreme as it was the area where people bury themselves in the brink of death .

All year round, it was filled with a mysterious fog which limits the power of Soul Sense, so it became a place of the dead where very few living beings would step on, even for people who do degrading acts of grave robbing .

Once there was a rumor that a Law Manifestation Stage Expert who stepped deep into the valley to kill the enemy who had hidden in it, but after a few months, both of them never came out, causing the people who searched for them pronounce them dead .

This matter became a piece of huge news inviting Seventh Stage Cultivators from all over the place to investigate, yet they couldn't even find anything peculiar or even their corpses .

Failing to discover anything, when the Seventh Stage Cultivators left, the Law Manifestation expert came out and started to massacre anything in sight, causing a blood bath to occur .

The Seventh Stage Cultivators upon knowing this matter immediately killed him and investigated the West End Valley one more time, yet they still failed to find anything worth their concern .

Thus, they could only give up some time after investigating it whenever they had the chance .

That said, most people knew that they had only given up on the surface, giving birth to the mission such as the one Davis accepted .

[

Like these, there were many missions in the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters as well .

As soon as anything peculiar crops up, experts from all the peak powers would likely show up, yet Davis had no idea about this matter since he didn't investigate but relied on Lucas and Lucia for gaining information .

. . .

Davis gazed at the valley ahead of him .

"Finally, it took me long enough . . . "

The fog that covered the valley all year around gave Davis a sense of eerieness that he really couldn't explain .

Although, it almost felt like what one would experience in a silent dark isolated room, where even silence became a type of sound that would echo in one's ears .

There was absolutely no wind in this area, just fog floating around as if they stuck to one place and the silence threatening to incite fear in one's heart .

'Well, other than Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts, there shouldn't be any threat around here anyway . . . ' Davis narrowed his eyes and convinced himself as he walked into the valley .

The moment he stepped into the fog, he activated his Soul Sense to find out being restricted to a mere 400 meters .

He was instantly panic-stricken!

He immediately moved out of the fog and came out of the valley as he closely studied it this time .

Extending his Soul Sense, he was unable to penetrate the fog with his Soul Sense but it could travel backward and cover a total of 400,000 kilometers!

But as it traveled towards the distance, the things that he could sense became more and more obscure, making him unable to find things other than powerful presences .

'No way! After I broke through, my Soul Sense could extend up to 400,000 kilometers, yet now, I couldn't even display 1% of my Soul Sense? What is this place!?' Davis turned alert as he contemplated whether to head in or not .

For a while, he hesitated to even take a step ahead while taking a step back seemed too cowardly to him .

So left with two choices, he finally took the decision and headed inside the valley again .

To his surprise, he was overjoyed to find out that only his Soul Sense was suppressed, and not his soul prowess . Even his sense of direction was not suppressed .

Gaining a lot of courage, he started to walk deep inside the valley .

After encountering a lot of Magical Beasts blocking his path, including a few Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts, he slaughtered them all and finally arrived at the tomb he was tasked to investigate with .

Eventually, it took him two days to arrive at Quade Hansen's Tomb from the place he had entered .

Davis glanced at the tombstone placed in front of the tomb with the Hansen Family Crest decorating it .

[Quade Hansen's Tomb]

Below it was the details of the tomb and its host's life achievements .

"I had to come all this way for this pathetic tomb? It's not even 1 kilometer in length! All I would have to is walk around for some time then the investigation will be over!" He shouted at the tomb, quite annoyed .

If one were to see his face, they would find out that he was utterly bored in these two days with no one to talk to .

Of course, generally he would love to be left alone but this place was too creepy and silent, even for him .

At times like this, he wished for Evelynn to be there with him . Heck, he even made concessions and thought it would be fine if he had those two kids hanging around him right now .

After staring at it for a while, he entered the tomb and made his way inside, dusting off the various particles . It was filled with various specks of dust and needless to say fog .

The narrow path he entered were infested with bugs and insects which couldn't even be considered as Magical Beasts, running away at the sight of him .

The structure was quite similar to a narrow dungeon leading to an open area space, except it wasn't .

Once he arrived at the center of the tomb, he stepped into the wide space and gazed at the already ransacked tomb .

Even the coffin was desecrated until not even the bones were left .

Davis was flabbergasted! What use would one's corpse or bones even be?
