Chapter 1674 Labh Salem"s Peculiarities: Triad Suns & Quatern Moons

Brol forest. Miles away from Kizamgaar"s ruins.

A lone man was seen traversing through a winding forest path that seemed to be getting increasingly wider as he kept on going forward.

The sound of his footsteps echoed in the surroundings. However, they sounded stretched and weird for some reason. It was as if they had been through some kind of spatial distortion.

The man walked at a leisurely pace. However, for some reason, he was able to cross hundreds of meters with his single step. It was as if the spatial laws of the world were beginning to bend to his will, allowing him to travel great distances at a pace that looked like someone"s morning walk.

"Hmm. Even the afternoon sky looks different with three… no… four suns in the sky. One real sun and the other three seemed to be the satellite planets," the man mumbled to himself as he walked.

The world of Labh Salem had one sun and seven sub-planets– or rather, natural satellite planets. Three of these satellite planets were visible in the daytime and hence were called the triad suns.

Apart from the main star that was the sun, these three suns served as the supporting morning stars for the skies of Labh Salem. As such, the daytime in Labh Salem was bright and sunny for most of the time in most regions.

The other four satellite planets of Labh Salem were visible in the night time and hence they were called the quatern moons. The four moons had their own lunar cycles and visibility patterns.

Eren observed all the significant and seemingly insignificant differences the world of Labh Salem had with his homeworld. He was trying to process all that he saw, forming connections in his head with the memories he had digested from his recent "food source."

"It"s such a shame that we had to kill those witches, Erni."

Suddenly, Reen spoke as her face appeared right over Eren"s chest in her slime-like form. It was as if the heart he had given to her during the process of her rebirth was effectively replaced by her. She instinctively chose for her face to appear over his heart.

"We could have used them as p.a.w.ns to navigate in this world. Things would have been simpler for us if that had happened. Especially when we have lost contact with the others who came with us to Anfang," Reen spoke in a casual voice.

"I was of a similar mind until I tested the effects of those witches" Skills. Even that Greater Skill was no joke. I would have fallen prey to the effects of that Greater Skills if I was delayed to kill that witch by a second or two," Eren shook his head and admitted the fact that he was bluffing when he acted carelessly in front of the witches of Helenbora coven.

Eren"s bloodline lineage had helped him against Leesha"s Greater Skill. His mindset as a Ranker was another factor that played a huge role. However, he had to admit that the Greater Skill itself was nothing to scoff at.

It was only because he had not shown a weakness against Leesha that he had managed to dispel its effects. He found it strange that the effects of the Greater Skill could still work on him, who was the possessor of the Elder Ichor Bloodline– the one who had been granted the Authority over the Sin Series-related powers.

Though he had masked it, the appearance of the Greater Skill spooked Eren into eliminating every witch he had. He even dropped the idea of turning them into his slaves through the use of the Mist of l.u.s.t, a tactic he would have used without any care in the world if there were no risks involved.

"Reen darling, I can"t handle the variables the Skills and Greater Skills bring to the table yet. So there"s no use in taking someone as a p.a.w.n," Eren said to Reen in a voice that made him sound like a teacher.

"With or without my demonic powers, it"s not easy to take hold of one"s psyche. It has its own limitations and complications. These complications would turn fatal for us because of the potential of the Skills added into the equation.

We can"t control someone unless we know the system of this world inside out. Rather, we shouldn"t even try to in the near future. There won"t always be an on-the-run coven for us to experiment on. So we should be careful."

Reen was well aware of Eren"s capabilities as a one-of-a-kind demonic Ranker. If even he wanted to play safe in Labh Salem, she had to say that her things were a bit more serious than she had initially thought.

"It is indeed a bit disheartening that all of us from Anfang had to separate from each other," Eren said and sighed before continuing.

"I sense that Alephee has entered the world of Labh Salem long before us. But due to the effects of Menaka"s Mesh, I can"t pinpoint her location. However, I feel that she is far away from us.

It seems you and I were the last ones to exit from the Immortal Plane. The only reason we stayed together was because you could merge into my existence.

All of us from Anfang have been scrambling in different directions. Our starting point is different and so are our destinations. At least for now. So the priority we have is to establish contact with each other," he said as he kept on walking forward in his unusual way, using the s.p.a.ce-element Elemental Attainments.

"How do we do that?" Reen asked Eren curiously. "How do we establish contact with Alephee and others?"

"It"s simple. We use Menaka"s Blessing for that. Trust me, it"ll work better than the ID Stones from our homeworld," Eren said and smiled. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city walls of a certain city in the distance.

Eren had finally stepped out of the Brol forest at this point. His very first goal was to get Menaka"s Blessing for himself.
