The gigantic black tree forest was deadly silent as nothing, but those monstrous trees covered the sky with their gigantic crowns.
Ace and Eva were moving south without having any idea where they were going. Ace had already tried using the fate map, but it turned out completely blank, which ans this place was still above the grade-8 live fate map, which made Ace quite vigilant and even more curious about this Vampyre Clan Trial.
"Wasn't this supposed to be a trial? What is this? My master told that he only rembered the place where he appeared the last ti with everyone else, which was in the middle of an ice mountain.
"He found that opportunity that changed his life there, but he didn't rember anything about the trial or where he was when he was sent out. Maybe it has sothing to do with this place's background." Eva annoyingly stated through mind transmission.
Ace had heard about this anomaly of moirs gone missing after this secret realm was closed, and now that they knew about the origin of this place, it wasn't hard to guess the reason behind it.
"Whatever the case is, we need to be careful. The imperial family didn't tell us any of this information, and even your master only has a limited amount of information. But since he was entered from another point last ti, we can assu that this place is extrely large and this forest is just part of it.
"As for the trial of the Vampyre Clan, we need to find it on our own, or it won't be a trial belonging to such a mystical clan, right?" Ace smilingly replied.
Eva couldn't help but agree with Ace as her crimson lips turned up in a charming smile, "You are right; those useless fools from the Imperial Clan had no idea what kind of gold mind they were sitting on all this ti, and they were using it to scavenge so gold dust."
"Heh, but it wasn't like we didn't have the ans to find a way faster. I can sense so treasure in this direction, but I don't know how far is it." Ace replied with so uncertainty.
Since the fate map was not working in this place and the golden compass pointer was locked on sothing within the imperial palace, Ace could only rely on his thief sense's fortune sense ability, which could allow him to sense fortunate abilities around him.
Although this wasn't as powerful as the Eternal Thief Fate Compass, it was better than nothing. Cyrus was also in slumber after absorbing so Life Lightning Quartz.
"Oh, I didn't know you have such an ability." Eva was astounded a little.
"It's just like chasing after sothing in utter darkness. You would never know how far or what kind of place it will lead you to. How about you try asking Flaggy? Maybe it can lead us to the true place of trial?" Ace quickly suggested.
Eva's eyes glow as she nods, "Why didn't I think about it."
"Hey, Flaggy, do you know where the trial is or the treasures of the Vampyre Clan?" She quickly questioned Flaggy.
"Tsk, what a greedy little girl; even if I know where the treasures are, do you think you can take them from the hands of the Vampyre Race?" Flaggy annoyingly retorted.
"That's my problem. Who knows just how old this place is? Maybe all the trails are already rotten away." She replied.
Flaggy thought for a mont before replying, "I don't think so. Although you had a point, we can't imagine the depth of the race like the Vampyre Race. Even if their creations can't escape the corrosion of ti, so things can, and there are many ways to preserve items for a very long ti.
"Or why do you think people would still find ancient inheritances, even clues about previous forgotten ears? As for where this trial is, I don't know. This place is sealed with so powerful sealing formations; only those who match the conditions set up by the owner of this place can enter.
"If I try showing my true prowess, I'll be forced out the very mont. So, you are on your own. But don't lose hope. There is still ti; if you stop fooling around with this boy, it'll be even faster to…"
"He didn't know anything. As expected, it only knows how to brag with no real ability to show for it." Eva snorted, cutting Flaggy in its speech, and loudly stated.
Ace could tell Eva was angry, and it had sothing to do with Flaggy again, "Well, there's no need to get agitated; how about we fly? Since there is nothing on the ground, we might be able to discover sothing from the above?"
"Alright." Eva agreed to this suggestion as she quickly tried channeling her Qi to fly, but she was as shocked as she exclaid, "What? I can't fly! I think this is a flight-restricted space!"
Ace frowned; he knew about the restricted space from the library. The ability of the flight was to manipulate laws around a cultivator to lessen the restriction of the elents and make the body light; therefore, a cultivator of the law awareness realm could fly.
However, if the law restrictions were even more powerful, then that ability could be easily taken away, and these kinds of places were called flight-restricted spaces. But it was easier said than done, especially artificially.
Ace then tried using his own Qi, but he didn't use the worldly Qi; instead, he used the Heavenly Qi, and the next mont, he was easily able to levitate.
'It seed the heavenly Qi can still bypass this flight restriction, which should be for the worldly Qi…' Ace mused since this was the only explanation he could think of.
Eva was also shocked when she saw Ace levitating, and she quickly tried to fly again, but she was not able to, making her frown even harder as it didn't make any sense.
'This boy's Qi is… special. But why can't I get a good read on it? It's like a riddle that can only be looked upon but can't be solved. How strange…' Flaggy thought in bewildernt and, for the first ti, said sothing nice about Ace, but Eva wasn't able to hear it.
"Let help you. It seed I had an advantage in this place." Ace couldn't help but chuck seeing Eva's sowhat dark expression, and he placed his hand around her slender wrist before enveloping her with his Qi, and they began to fly upward.
Although she was still unhappy, she placed her head on his shoulder and relaxed completely, "Hmph, you're hiding many things from ."
"It's just an advantage I have because I can cultivate in both paths," Ace replied. He didn't want to tell her about the heavenly Qi as he had a feeling that it might be dangerous. Eva thought that it did make sense and let it go.
But right when they were about to enter the crown of those trees, both of them felt danger, and the next mont, the peaceful black forest suddenly ca to life!
Tree branches and tree roots suddenly shot towards Ace and Eva from all directions, like traps of death, and a dark sheen was emitting from those branches and roots, giving off an extrely ghostly feeling.
"This is…" Eva was shocked because she sensed the aura of the abyss from the trees the mont they made their move. As the owner of the bloodline of the abyss, she was very sensitive towards the aura, especially after she devoured all those devil cores that Ace gave her.
She was now on the sa level as Zack and far stronger than him, so she was very sensitive towards this aura now, and it was giving her a faint sense of crisis, which was a huge deal.
Ace's eyes also went cold, 'So, they want to trap us in this place? Hmph, fat chance. Twilight Traverse!'
