The Moon Thief

Chapter 70: Step For A New Journey

After he cleared his mind from various thoughts,Heinald walked away from the chest and began casting his spell called Lightning Spear. When Lightning Spear formed on his hand, he sent it straight to the chest. Lightning Spear exploded when it hit the barrier, and there was a lightning explosion in the immediate vicinity. The lightning bolts that bounced off the floor and walls shattered the surrounding area and lifted a large amount of dust.

As the dust cleared, Heinald saw that the barrier was still standing. When he went closer and examined it, he noticed that it was slightly more cracked than before.

Heinald drew out Kroll's sword and sent Magical Energy to it. When the sword was covered by flames, he slashed the barrier three times in succession. Each time Saber hit the barrier, it encountered a strong force and was pushed back. With each cut, flames and sparks flew around.Heinald stopped after a while, when more than half of his Magical Energy had decreased. He had spent a lot of physical and spiritual energy in a short time, he needed rest. He collapsed next to the chest and began to breathe. He knew that the barrier surrounding the chest was close to breaking, but he wasn't sure if he could break through that barrier any time soon.

After resting for a while, he cast his spell called Predator Destruction. Above the barrier, fire energy began to condense and a cloud of fire formed. Then, hundreds of flame drops started falling from this fire cloud at the same time, but as soon as they fell, they started to explode and shake the whole room. When hundreds of flame fragments exploded at the same time, intense heat and explosions emerged.

As the deadly hot flames dissipated, the ground around the barrier took on the appearance of molten steel, with the cracks on the barrier becoming noticeably larger. Heinald took a deep breath and pulled out Kroll and Elyana's swords again. He suddenly sent the remaining magic energy to the two of them.

He raised his two swords and slashed the barrier crossly. When the swords slashed the barrier, mixed air and fire waves appeared. The force he applied to his two swords was colliding with the force of the barrier, and the elemental energy trapped between the swords and the barrier caused various bursts of energy in the surrounding area.

*BAM* Heinald clutched the swords with all his might and slashed the barrier horizontally. He had sent all his Magic Energy to the swords for this final attack, as soon as the swords touched the barrier, a shock wave appeared and knocked him back several meters.

"Damn..." Heinald coughed up some blood as he tried to stand up. The resulting severe shock wave had injured his internal organs. He immediately took a Low-Level Healing Potion from his robe pocket and hung it on his head. After he finished it all, he threw the bottle aside and then dispersed the dust cloud around so he could observe the barrier.

"This..." Heinald looked at the barrier and saw that it was almost covered with cracks all over it. An amused expression appeared on his face and he picked up the fallen swords. His arms were completely numb because of his previous attack, so he stopped attacking with swords and sent them into the dimensional pocket of his robe.

Heinald raised his hand and an ordinary fireball shot out of his hand. When it hit the barrier, there was a small explosion of flame and it sounded like a bottle had been broken."Broken!" Heinald shouted with enthusiasm.

When the barrier was completely broken, hundreds of thousands of small seals and runes appeared in the air and then disappeared completely.

Heinald moved excitedly to the chest and began to examine it. It could be a curse or some kind of magic protecting the chest, he didn't want to be in for a surprise. After examining the chest for a while, making sure it was safe, he opened it slowly.

"An...Egg?" When Heinald opened the chest, he saw that there was a large egg inside. This egg was a pitch black egg with a few gray spots. He was quite surprised when he wanted to gently hold it and take it in his hand because the weight of this egg was truly extraordinary.

Heinald had no idea what kind of egg this egg was. When he looked inside the chest, he saw nothing else. He could easily say that the egg in his hand was at least as heavy as himself, a normal person would have a hard time lifting this egg.

Heinald remembered that he had spent enough time and sent the egg into the dimensional pocket of his robe. He also wanted to loot Kroll's room before he left, but that required a bit of work and didn't have any more time. Therefore, he immediately left the underground building of the organization and mounted his horse and set off for Guljan Town.

He was always on the alert to make sure he wasn't followed throughout his journey, and had thought of hundreds of escape plans in case of mishap. Luckily he was not followed by anyone, at least he hadn't noticed. Just because no one had seen or followed him didn't mean he'd never be found.

Ainsars could possess so many different knowledges that it was not impossible for them to locate it. When he came to Guljan Town, he rented a house and filled it with defensive formations. Thus, he relaxed a little and devoted himself to rest. He thought about what he had been through and what his next step should be.

The betrayal of Dane and the rest of his friends had really affected him more than he thought. He realized once again how chaotic the world they lived in. Although his grandfather expressed this many times when he was training him, it was very different to experience. Interest in this world could destroy all friendships, even family ties.

Everyone wants power, anyone who wants to live a long life should understand that. You could only trust yourself in this world, and you had to be strong enough to be able to trust yourself. Power, on the other hand, was obtained either by chance or by great interest.

Heinald had a great opportunity gate that opened by Master Kunes: Meeting Albin Redsand!

If he could cooperate with Albin Redsand, he would undoubtedly have access to many resources and information. So impressing him as much as possible should be his sole purpose, the rest would come in time anyway. He could even benefit from his vast experience if he could establish a bond of friendship with him.

After a few days of rest and thinking about how to make the most of this chance, Heinald left Guljan Town and set out for the Neuor Theocracy. According to the address given by Kunes, he is supposed to go to Saylam City of the Neuor Theocracy. He knew a few facts about the Neuor Theocracy. Although this country was ruled by the Priests Council on paper, it was actually ruled by the 'Religious Leader'.

This country was a very different place from most kingdoms on the continent and was not well liked by most kingdoms on the continent. However, their might was more than most of kingdoms, so there was no one who could show open hostility towards this country. The religion they believed in was a religion known as Reinen. The meaning of Reinen was 'Holy Ten'. According to their beliefs, the creator of the entire universe was ten powerful gods known as the 'Holy Ten'. According to Reinen belief, Meidan was the creator of magic and the god who bestowed souls on humans. Therefore, he was considered the holiest of the skin.

"Meidan... the holy one within the ten..." The corner of Heinald's lip curled. Actually he wanted to see the Neuor Theocracy, he had no doubt that he would see interesting things. That it will be an interesting adventure...

Heinald had never thought about the concept of god before, nor did he plan to think about it. Religious philosophy was the last thing he would think of, more like a waste of time. However, it would still be interesting to see the lives of 'believers' and witness their lifestyles. Moreover, he was curious about the source of the power of the Neuor Theocracy.

To get to the Neuor Theocracy, he first had to cross the Mirksun Sea to the east. Afterwards, he had to cross the Curved Wind Meadows. Thus, he would be able to enter the borders of the Neuor Theocracy.

When he reached Estna Harbor without any problems, he began to look for a ship captain who could take him to the other side. Fortunately, without much searching, he was able to find a ship to transport him to the other side of the Mirksun Sea for a reasonable fee. After a smooth sea voyage he reached the Neson Shores, the Curved Wind Meadows just a few miles from this area.
