Assea moved at full speed alongside the wall.

Noah inside it was only looking at the path in front of him, nothing else was worth his attention.

Some of the snakes in the pack started to hiss in his direction as if it was some kind of entertainment.

Then, when he had crossed a bit less than fifty meters, the first blow arrived.

What Noah initially felt was an incredible pressure that flung him into the wall.

Then, the pain came.

Assea's body was the first line of defense and was shredded into pieces almost immediately!

Noah forced its body to reconstruct but it only delayed the impact on his body for a moment as Assea was wrecked again in just an instant.

He slammed into the wall and many cuts appeared on his skin but, before he suffered any serious injury, he summoned Assea a third time to endure the rest of the attack.

Its body was destroyed till only a silhouette remained but the first blow was successfully blocked!

A huge amount of mental energy was expended because Noah had to withstand the pain Assea felt having its body destroyed three times.

However, as soon as the pain stopped, Noah started to run again, no hesitation was present in his actions.

His eyes were still fixed on the road and he left a trail of blood due to the injuries.

He didn't dare to use the "Breath" to stop the bleeding because all of it was being used for Assea's healing.

The pack of beasts yet had noticed his disguise and began to hiss madly at the sight of the small human hidden in the snake's body.

As if to shut down their noise, the King snorted lightly sending another stream of air in the area in front of it.

Noah had moved for only thirty more meters before the second blow came.

He was once again slammed into the wall and more wounds appeared on his body every time Assea's figure collapsed.

Nevertheless, he held on.

His body was completely red due to the massive blood loss and was excoriated in many parts, but the vitality of a peak rank 2 body gave him the strength to keep running even in that condition.

Noah movements were slower than before but he still managed to cross the last twenty meters entering the mouth of the cavity.

The snakes behind him hissed even more crazily seeing that he had succeeded in reaching the escape route and began to move in its direction as to follow his example.

The King woke up and roared to stop the riot of its pack and a shock wave hit Noah that had just entered the passage.

He hadn't relaxed yet so Assea's body was still covering him.

Its body crumbled at the impact and its figure inside Noah's sea of consciousness cracked.

Noah felt a tremendous pain in his head before getting hit by the roar.

He could not resist even if he tried and his body was sent flying along the passage.

Blood came out from his mouth, ears, and eyes but all he could do was protecting his head to avoid any fatal damage.

He slammed repeatedly on the walls in front of him but the strength of the roar continued to push him forward and he was impotent in front of its might.

Then, he crashed again but this time the rocks of the wall were soft enough for him to dig in them.

His body created a small hole through the stones and finally stopped.

No noise came out of the hole as Noah had fainted due to the last collision.

Two days passed before Noah opened his eyes.

His sight was cloudy and a constant buzz invaded his ears.

It took him a while to remember the situation he was in and a bright smile appeared on his face when he understood that he had survived.

Then he laughed loudly but had to stop quickly because a wave of pain hit him as he moved.

'I don't want to see a snake anymore in my life.'

After he thought that, he fainted again.

.

.

One month later, in an area near Twilboia Cliff.

A field full of shining flowers spanned for two hundred meters.

This place was called Iano field due to the rare flowers that grew there.

The Iano flowers had no use to the cultivators but were very appreciated by couples since they had the ability to gather sunlight making their own figure shine.

At night, they resembled the starry giving a romantic vibe to the scenery.

A small-size noble family called Wilford possessed this field and used it as a small form of income, selling the right to spend the night in that place to anyone that could afford it.

A guard of the Wilford family was yawning lazily near the fence that determined the entrance to the field and a line of peasants and rich people was waiting for their moment to get inside.

As the line moved on, the guard raised the price of the ingress arousing the anger of the costumers.

However, any time someone tried to complain, he would proudly show his chest where the emblem of his family was and say arrogantly:

"Are you saying that me, an honored guard of the Wilford family, would dare to profit on lowly commoners?"

This was a line he practiced a lot to shut down the complaints about his attitude, after all a small-size family was still a noble family.

This time though, something unexpected happened as soon as he said that.

A slash made of wind shot out from the ground below of the Iano flowers.

A small opening formed showing an intricate passage below the field, illuminated by the shining roots of the flowers.

Noah came out of the opening uncaring of his surroundings.

'To think that the light in the passage was caused by these roots.'

He was almost naked, only some strips of clothes remained on his lower body.

He looked around him and found the guard with his mouth open looking in his direction.

Noah raised the saber in his hand to point at him and spoke in a calm voice.

"Hey you, where is this place?'
