The Moon Thief

Chapter 132: Relic Area

"Could the Ainsars who had ruled on this plane in ancient times also left because of some kind of war?" Avnr asked.

"Possible." Heinald nodded.

"What kind of place is the World of Ainsar?" Towsak asked.

"To me, it's a pretty chaotic place where the selfish are powerful. However, being selfish is one of the most certain and acceptable conditions out there, because there aren't enough resources for everyone. Other than that, it's a place full of dangerous monsters and creatures, where powerful families and clans rule the world." Heinald shrugged.

"It doesn't seem like it's different from here" Avnr smiled crookedly.

Towsak said, "Heinald heard of the Ulltemols from the dwarves living in the swamp. We had a short conversation about them on their way here. He knows they want our resources."

"Ulltemols..." Avnr's expression darkened, "The situation is not much different here either, there are not enough resources for everyone here, and we have to acquire them in order to become stronger."

"I can't say I know much about Ulltemols." Heinald said.

"We've been in competition with them for a long time. They outnumber us and we think they have more resources than we do. But they still don't have the strength to surpass the formation we inherited." Avnr scratched his chin, an annoyed expression on his face.

"However, that may change soon" Towsak sighed, "We have discovered a relic in the Infernal Abyys. We guess that this relic belongs to a Level 4 Ainsar. Unfortunately, we are not the only ones to discover this relic, the Ulltemols discovered it as well"

Avnr added, "The side that has captured this relic will most likely dominate the other side thanks to the resources it has acquired. The area where the relic is located is protected by some formations and traps. So neither we nor they can make a move to capture the relics. If someone were to suffer significant losses there, it would break the balance."

Towsak said, "That's why we want to invite you to cooperate with us. We all agree that we can help each other."

"What kind of collaboration?" Heinald wanted to hear their offers in detail.

"First, we can share our knowledge with each other. Moreover, we are ready to hand over half the resources we will get from the relics to you if you help us in our fight against the Ulltemols to recapture the relics." Avnr made the offer in his head.

Heinald thought, "It would be very unreasonable to accept such an offer without knowing the exact power of the Ulltemols. And I don't know enough about the traps and formations in the ruins."

When they saw that he was thinking indecisively, anxiety began to rise in their hearts.

Heinald asked, "What do you know about the power levels of the Ulltemols?"

Avnr replied, "We can't say we know much, but we can make some inferences by observing their acts. Since they didn't dare take direct action against us, we can say that their power level is close to ours."

"They may not be taking action against you because they obviously don't know the overall power you have either." Heinald said.

Arvn said, "Of course it is possible... However, if they had a stronger existence than us, he would surely have been able to learn certain information about us.

Heinald nodded slowly, "What about the dangers in the relic area?"

Towsak said, "We can take you to the area of ruins so you can make some inferences about there."

"Hm? Will the Ulltemols allow it?" Heinald asked.

"The relic area is huge and there are too many entrances. Even if they find us, they won't dare attack us because we'll only be there for observation." Towsak answered. Both sides were using some agents to observe each other's actions. Of course, it was impossible for these agents to control the entire relic zone, but still, the risk factor created by this situation limited their actions. Since the relic zone is considered a very dangerous place, they and we can only dare to enter it as a group. Since this is the case, naturally, if we enter too many people together, our probability of being noticed is very high.

"I would really like to exchange knowledge with you. However, I cannot agree to help you without fully knowing the dangers in the relic area. But if I decide from my observations that the relics are worth the risk, I will cooperate with you on this as well."

Heinald did not accept their offer, but neither did he refuse.

"Then we'll go together to the entrance to the relic area whenever you want." Towsak nodded.

"I think we can go now." Heinald shrugged.

After all, he had nothing to do.

Towsak said, "Alright! Then I'll take you there!"

****

Heinald and Towsak got on the giant Rafan's back and they flew towards the Infernal Abyss.

He was observing below as he flew over the vast desert. He was seeing creatures and Magical Beasts below that he had never seen before, although not very often. Although he wasn't entirely sure of their power level, he could tell from his momentary observations that they were dangerous.

Heinald thought, "Though, there are no non-dangerous creatures or Magical Beasts..."

"Are we sure the Ulltemols won't attack us?"

Heinald wanted to talk to Towsak while observing the vast desert landscape.

"I cannot guarantee that. However, remember that you are a human being. They will want to get to know you or at least observe you for a long time before attacking you. After all, you are an Ainsar!"

When Towsak spoke his thoughts, Heinald openly agreed. The Ulltemols considered themselves the heirs of the Ainsars who ruled on this plane in ancient times. They too must not have seen a human in a long time; so the chances of them attacking him were pretty low.

"But don't they automatically see me as an enemy if they see me on your side?" After thinking for a while, Heinald asked the question that came to mind.

"Even if they see you as the enemy, I don't think they will make a clear move without observing your trump cards or your combat power." Towsak shrugged.

Heinald and Towsak traveled for hours to the south of the desert. When they finally came to the edge of the Infernall Abyss, they dived down. The bottom of this abyss was not visible. All that was visible was the dense fog below.

For an unknown time they plunged into the bottom of the abyss.

Resembling a giant eagle, Towsak pulled by Rafan's reins, the Magical Beast flapped its massive wings and hovered in midair.

"See the huge rift ahead?" Towsak pointed to the huge rift on the cliffside.

Giant Rafan landed on the field in front of the rift. Heinald and Towsak jumped on its back and started walking towards the huge rift.

Towsak was unaware of it, but Heinald was using his eyes at the margins to look around, careful not to miss the smallest detail.

After all, according to Towsak, this was the path to the relics left by the Ancient Ainsars. He was told that there were various traps and formations ahead. The trigger for these traps and formations could even be at the entrance; so he wanted to be careful.

"Have you ever heard of Magic Path Karma?" Towsak asked as they walked towards the huge rift.

Heinald said, "If I'm not mistaken, this concept is the main reason why Ainsars leave relics behind. For the continuation of the Path of Magic, Ainsars bequeath materials, spells, knowledge resources, and special techniques from the various experiments they've done. In turn, they believe that their future chances will increase. "

"Do you think that's true? Do you think the Ainsars, who have left us various relics, have met various chances?"

Heinald shrugged, "I don't know, as I said before, I think there was a great war between them. Considering that, I can't say they were very lucky. However, sometimes luck can't beat fate; if even the Ancient Ainsars believed in the existence of such a concept, it would make sense to follow their lead. After all, The Path of Magic must continue..."

"Mmm." Towsak nodded slowly. He seemed to want to make some inferences about the Ainsars.

Heinald had told him his true thoughts. As an Ainsar himself, he would begin to inherit knowledge of various experiments or various magical materials as a relic. Of course, he would also set traps and various formations at the entrance of these ruins. Thus, he would make sure that these relics would not be seized by the unworthy.

His luck had always been good. If such a concept as Magic Path Karma really existed, he might be even luckier in the future and encounter events that would greatly affect his future.

Heinald and Towsak continued to walk deeper into the huge rift. He hadn't seen any detail that would have caught his attention. The surrounding Elemental Energy density was at normal levels and there was no other type of energy.

"You've been here before, haven't you?" Heinald asked hesitantly.

"Of course! We have to walk a little further to reach the danger zone." Towsak replied.

"Can you give some details about the danger zone?"

"When you come to the beginning of the ruins and cross the border, a sense of danger will first arise in the depths of your soul. When you go a little deeper, you will hear hums and roars from the deep. Then you will gradually become aware of the dangers in the deep and you will not dare to go any further. If you dare to go further you will see various traps and eventually a formation."
