As the two made their way to Mount Kenloux, a man dressed in all black was seen kneeling in the middle of the room located at the end of Dragonott.

The man himself knelt down in front of the other cloaked man who had some sort of stick in hand. Before long, the kneeling man then quickly reported,

"From what we heard, Gerald has left Rico and is now back at Dragonott, Chief! Apparently, he was already on his way to Mount Kenloux!"

After hearing that, the cloaked man then asked in a cold tone,

"...Mount Kenloux? Why is he headed there?"

"We can't say for sure yet, but we have something else worth noting! There's a very strong man with Gerald right now, and all of our men who were sent to attack Gerald were killed in one attack by that man!"

Said the man kneeling while shaking his head.

Hearing that, the cloaked man then snorted before ridiculing,

"What are you doing this time, Gerald. Doesn't matter. Get me a car now! I'm heading to Mount Kenloux!"

"Hard and clear!"

Answer the man in black before standing up and walking out of the hall.

Moving back to Gerald and Christos, it was not long before the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing no reason not to immediately start scaling it, the two did just that. They took about three hours, but they finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

Looking around, Gerald immediately saw a greenish-white stone monument at the highest point of the mountain. It looked just like Christos and his notebook had described.

Upon closer inspection, some of the patterns and words that could not be deciphered seemed to have been carved on the stone monument.

In any case, Christos would not waste time waiting for Gerald to finish inspecting the place. With that in mind, he got straight to the point and said,

"Here you go, kid. The stone monument that will take you to the Autremonde Realm. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready, senior Christos! Let's get started!"

Watching Gerald then nod with confidence, Christos began walking to the stone monument before putting his hands on it.

As he started chanting incantations, the stone monument quickly began to emit a gentle glow. However, the longer he chanted, the brighter the light was, until finally, the entire mountain peak was as bright as a flare!

Looking wide-eyed as a portal began to take shape, Gerald gasped from his shock when he heard Christos calling, Gerald said,

"Everything that happens from now on will be entirely your business, son! My help ends here, understand?!"

With a serious tone of Christos, Gerald nodded respectfully before replying,

"Slow and clear! Thank you for all your help, senior Christos!"

Convinced that Gerald had made it through the portal safely, Christos then began descending the mountain through a hidden path.

His task here was done, and as he said repeatedly, it was now up to Gerald whether he succeeded or not.

Whatever the case, shortly after Christos left, the cloaked man arrived at the scene with some of his men.

Although they soon begin exploring the mountain's summit, they eventually realize that Gerald was nowhere to be found. Due to the lack of a clue as to where Gerald went, one of the subordinates proposed,

"...Chief, remember that beam of light we saw from the foot of the mountain...? It disappeared shortly after and so did Gerald... Do you think...?"

"Indeed. I don't like how suspicious this area is. Anyway, find the guy who came here with Gerald! He should know what's going on!"

The robed man's orders, his expression grim.

Naturally, Gerald had no idea that any of this was happening, and he continued walking until finally, the light from the passage - which was part of the portal - died down. Leaving Gerald who was staring with wide eyes at the scene in front of him.

From the looks of it, he had managed to enter the Autremonde Realm, and the other end of the portal had led him into a river in some sort of valley.

Apart from that, what really amazed him was how beautiful nature was in this world. From the green plants that thrive in the mountains and crystal clear water in the river, this place looks very beautiful.

Chapters 1975.

To think that his first impression - upon entering the Outremonde Realm - was how beautiful the almost pure nature of this place appeared.

Although she definitely wanted to enjoy the scenery longer, Gerald knew she had more important things to do.

With that thought, he left the river and started walking until he finally found some kind of city.

However, just as he was about to enter the city, a flash of familiar sword shadows caught his attention. Realizing that it came from a nearby forest, Gerald raised a little of his eyebrows before sneaking off to investigate.

Shortly afterwards, he was greeted by the sight of a woman - dressed in purple - being attacked by five men dressed in all-white.

Sure, this makes Gerald very angry. After all, how could so many men go against a single woman! Do they have no self-respect?!

Whatever the case may be, even though the woman was – who had a long sword in hand - clearly outnumbered, Gerald was honestly surprised that he was able to fend off the men quite efficiently. He has to admit that he is strong enough.

Even so, in the end, there was strength in numbers, and the purple-clothed woman finally found herself falling to the ground, her sword flung to the side as she coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Chuckling when he saw that, one of the five men then walked up to the injured woman before mocking with an evil smile on his face,

"You're dying in my hands today, Zianne Landis! Since you will soon perish, allow me to enjoy your warm and tender body first!"

"Don't you dare, Johnny Babbs! You don't have your way even if I have to die!"

Zianne growled while glaring at the sadistic man.

Hearing that, Johnny simply laughed out loud before sneering,

"Oh, please, as if you were in a position to say that! Man, get him! Once I'm done with her body, each of you will have a turn before we kill her!"

Smirking passionately when they heard that, the four men then began to surround Zianne, inching closer to her with each step.
