"Meow!"

As I opened my eyes, three sparkly eyes of different colors stared at me, seemingly expectant of me waking up.

"Oh Light, you woke up early for once! I guess I'm not the only one that wants to get out of here as soon as possible."

"Meow."

Although it wasn't yet my usual sleeping period by the time I came out of the tower, I still did nothing but sleep as soon as I stepped out.

'I seriously missed long sleeps!'

Having been cutting sleep since I entered this gloomy space, I really wanted to have one satisfying sleep after I was done with my main tasks. As such, I didn't deny myself its wish this time.

Moreover, regardless of that point, just the battle with the mysterious 'figure' had managed to drain my mind and put it under a great load. Once that tension was left, my body had the idea of sleeping before I even had it myself.

In the end, I was knocked out cold for over 15 hours. It was only when the usually sleepy Light woke me up that I decided to get up reluctantly.

'Well, it's about time to start searching seriously…'

Nonetheless, I didn't mind, the sooner I managed to get out of here the better. After all, the Fire Domain was already in a critical situation by the time I arrived, I obviously had to contribute now that my strength had grown this far. Most importantly…

'Once this is done, I can sleep for an entire day!'

Sleeping without immediate worries was much more comfortable than sleeping when you had much to do, just this point alone encouraged me to finish as soon as possible.

At this dangerous point in time, I greatly missed my easy days in the Light domain and even in the Nature Domain, the comfortable long sleeps from time to time felt incredibly nostalgic.

"Alright, alright, you can sit on the 'front seat' of my armor, but remember to hang on well."

Despite being a mount that refused to carry its owner, I still couldn't deny Light's cuteness. Moreover, he was clearly more like a friend or sibling than a mount or pet…

'Don't tell me that he is slowly transitioning into becoming one of those 'lord' cats that people liked to talk about…'

Looking at Light's cute expectant face of the ride, I immediately threw away that thought after shuddering, there was no way my cute Light would treat me like that… right?

'Here goes…'

Throwing away these scary thoughts, I spread out my Darkness elements into a ring shape that surrounded me, it was time to use my finally completed compass!

After my Darkness Cell reached full purification, it was no longer restricted from achieving 'Elemental Interfusion', its weak point in quantity vanished and it instantly soared to the same level as the other cells.

Thanks to that, I was finally able to increase my detection range much further. It no longer felt like I had just a vague direction, the target was much clearer, seemingly very accurate.

'This way.'

As the large hoop deformed at one point into a sword-like shape, I tapped into the ground as I jumped into a sonic dash, this was the 'arrow' of the advanced Darkness 'compass'.

'It's sad, but it can't be delayed any longer…'

As I ran towards my target, I couldn't help but feel regret that I would lose the time advantage that I had in this gloomy space. After all, by relying on this advantage, I could totally finish carving the rest of my flow channel, level up my newly advanced weapon skills and all the time that would pass on the domain by then would be just about then days…

However, without fighting and discovering new opportunities I would be stuck, and in the case I was too late by the time I returned, I would only find a domain that's infested with unsuppressed demons. Even just trying to survive at that point would be impossible.

Most importantly, I was most likely on the top numbers within the demons' red list. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been chosen as the target of this trap, and the 'figure' should already hate my guts as well, if demons really came to rule, I would be finished in no time.

Even if I choose to hide in the space till the very end of the game, I couldn't deny the possibility of a 'Boss' bothering to pay me a quick visit to say 'hello'.

'It's not worth it anyway.'

While accepting such a time advantage, I would also have to accept the gloomy atmosphere infested with 'Corruption Will', and while the system seemed to have the ability to suppress it for now, I believed it might not be able to do so for long. 

'My perception itself is rejecting this space.'

As if it was a premonition of danger, my perception was always ticked off from the very first moment I stepped into this space, regardless of the other factors, that in itself made it quite a pain to stay that long in here.

'Let's just find that 'nice guy' and get out of here.'

This was already my 38th day in this space, and I had reaped enough advantages already. One could even say that I made the most of this time, there was no reason to regret leaving this space. After all, everything is good in moderation.

'I think I will really enjoy my payback.'

As I felt the signal of the sinister pitch-black spot amid the Darkness getting closer and closer, I felt slightly heated up to meet the 'nice guy' who gave me this opportunity.

While I was usually more calm-headed and didn't really have individual hate towards the demons other than them being despicable enemies that I needed to take down, I felt instinctive hate towards the scheming demon that made me suffer so much out of nowhere.

In comparison to the suicidal shaman that almost caused my death as well, I hated this demon more for obvious reasons. Not only did he want me to suffer but he also wanted to make a puppet out of me. To me, the shaman who simply died for his 'noble' cause was slightly better.

In the end, the only thing that the demons could receive from me would be my blade, but I planned to be more aggressive as a special gift for him being a 'nice guy'.

'I will make sure he enjoys it too…'
