When Brando took out the gemstone, a ray of gray light shot out from it and pierced through the fog as if it was pointing in a certain direction.
"What is this?" Faena asked.
"Why should I answer you? You Cruz people don't care about Erouine's answer, do you? "Brando raised the gemstone like a lighthouse in the fog.
"Y-you —" Faena was speechless.
But Brando ignored her and continued forward, and Faena followed him without a word. The light from the gemstone was actually some kind of resonance, and the other end of the resonance was in the abyss. The two of them walked for a while in the fog. The scenery around them was constantly changing, and there seemed to be a layer of flowing water beneath their feet.
The monotonous scenery made them sleepy, but after they advanced for a while, the gem in Brendel's hand suddenly dimmed.
"What's wrong?"
Faena asked curiously when she saw it.
"We're here." Brando kept the gemstone and leaned against a rock. Even though this was part of his plan, the Mistborn was not as easy to deal with as Andesha.
Then, he carefully poked his head out from behind the rock and saw a huge crater behind the white fog. But when he looked down, he immediately held his breath.
What kind of scene was that?
There was a prehistoric beast lying in the crater.
But it was not a Hydra like Brando had imagined. It was a wolf, and its tail was as long as the canyon.
The wolf was sleeping, and its body was as white as snow. Its silver hair shone in the darkness. But even if its body was curled into a ball, it was still more magnificent than the most majestic mountain in the canyon. Its huge and beautiful mouth was placed on its front paw. Its eyes were closed, and there was a silver scar on its eyelid and one side of its cheek.
Brando looked at it and gulped. He almost forgot to breathe.
At this time, Faena also poked her head out from behind him. Her eyes widened and she almost screamed, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"Wha-what is this?" Faena asked in disbelief.
Brendel's eyes lit up as he looked at the giant wolf. He took a deep breath and said, "Son of the Twelve Moons, Warg Hati!"
"Ah!"
Vahina covered her mouth and cried out as well.
The Alpha Wolf Échis was the son of the Twelve Moons, the source of the Calamity of the Wolves. The northern border of the Cruz Empire was constantly invaded by the Calamity of the Wolves, and Faena naturally knew about it.
But the Alpha wolf Échis was the son of a demigod. Even though there were countless legends about it, no one believed that such a creature actually existed in the real world.
"H-how could this be? Y-y-you're not mistaken, are you?" Faena stammered.
"The giant white wolf is Hati, not to mention that there is a wound on its right eye from the battle with the Winter Wolf —"
Brando suddenly paused. He suddenly thought that this thing could be one of the forms of the Nightmare Mist. After all, if it could turn into the Saint Hydra, why couldn't it turn into Échis?
But at this time, he suddenly felt Faena poking his waist from behind.
"Brando …"
Faena looked up and sucked in a cold breath. She seemed to be tongue-tied.
Brendel saw the young lady's expression as if she had seen a ghost, and he immediately became alert. He raised his head and suddenly saw an unbelievable scene.
Above the Alpha Wolf Échis, the majestic atmosphere slowly changed into various shapes. One moment, it was the Saint Hydra, the next, it was other mythical creatures. But the fog slowly gathered and finally turned into the image of the Saint Hydra with fifteen heads.
The phantom of the Ancestral Beast appeared in the sky.
However, fifteen pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly opened, exposing themselves to the murderous and malicious gazes. Brando and Faena felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were pierced by fifteen sharp swords and nailed to the ground.
At the same time, Brando suddenly thought of a possibility.
He looked at the sleeping Échis and then at the huge phantom in the sky. If this was a dream of the Alpha Wolf Échis, then the ability to affect another world through a dream was a real Nightmare Mist.
No wonder it was called a Nightmare Mist.
So this thing was just a dream of Échis?
How could a dream be so powerful?
"I-i-it saw us?" Vahina stammered.
Brando quickly pulled her back. "Don't be silly. It hasn't seen us yet. It would have attacked us if it saw us. Be quiet, don't attract that thing here. "
He then looked at the fifteen dragon heads above the abyss, knowing that the Grey Gemstone in his hand had been sensed by the other party, which was why the Misty Nightmare reacted. But it was strange, how did the Grey Gemstone have anything to do with Hati?
With that in mind, he withdrew his gaze from behind the boulder and pulled Vahina back as well.
"You want to lure that woman here?"
Faena crouched behind the rock and put her hand on her skirt. Although the edges of her skirt were torn beyond recognition, she lowered her head and thought for a moment.
Brando was stunned. He looked at the blonde girl with twin ponytails in surprise.
"Eh, I didn't know you were smart."
"W-what are you talking about?!" Faena gritted her teeth and glared at Brando.
"Shhh!" Brando glared at her.
Faena was shocked and quickly lowered her voice. "How did you know there would be such a thing here? Is it related to the gem in your hand? "
Brando chuckled.
"You guessed right. Guess again."
"Tch, even an idiot can see through your plan. You think you're so smart?"
Brendel coughed and his face was a little hot, but he immediately retorted: "Is that so? No wonder you saw through it."
"You!"
Faena raised her eyebrows. Her twin ponytails were about to explode. But when she saw Brando put a finger to his lips, she immediately deflated.
"… Hateful Aouine country bumpkin." She muttered under her breath.
But Brando was not in the mood to bicker with her. He turned around and looked at the surrounding terrain. He chose a spot where the Lernaia Hydra would not be able to spot him easily. He then gestured to Faena and led her there.
It was a crack in the cliff. From there, one could clearly see the entire Valley of the Abyss. There was also a huge crater on the other side.
He chose this spot to avoid the Lernaia Hydra's gaze, and also to monitor Andesha's movements.
He calculated that she would catch up to them in ten minutes at most.
As expected, the Lord of Withering Tears' figure appeared in the fog. She had followed the tracks left behind by Brendel and Faena, but it was difficult for her. She could only rely on the remnants of their scent to track them down in the rocky wastelands.
Andesha was still quite a distance away from the crater. She did not notice the Lernaia Hydra's presence in the sky, and she happened to be in the Lernaia Hydra's blind spot.
Brando knew that he could not let her go any further. Otherwise, she would be alerted.
He had to finish the deed before the woman realized what was going on.
He took a deep breath.
"… Hey, I'll talk! Bumpkin, will your plan work? "
Faena saw Andesha's appearance and her body tensed up. She swallowed her saliva and asked anxiously.
Brendel glared at her, thinking that the courage and calmness that he had worked so hard to gather was completely defeated by this woman's words.
But he did not have time to think. When he took out the gray gemstone, the Lernaia Hydra's phantom slowly moved. It seemed to have sensed the presence of the gray gemstone, and its fifteen heads surrounded it.
[It's here!] Brando's heart skipped a beat. He raised the gray gemstone, and the Lernaia Hydra's phantom in the sky moved.
Their target was the cliff in this direction.
"Bumpkin, you … … What are you doing?" Faena looked at him and felt that something was wrong.
Brando did not intend to answer her, and he did not have the time to do so. One of the Lernaia Hydra's head swooped down from the sky.
Brando did not have the time to think. He immediately pushed Faena away and rolled to the side, causing the Lernaia Hydra's jaws to miss.
He then grabbed Vahina's hand and started running. Behind him, the Hydra's four heads broke through the fog and caught up to them in an instant. One of the heads even brushed past their heads, causing Vahina to shriek and crouch down to cover her head.
Brando had no choice but to turn around and support her back with one hand while the other wrapped around her legs. He then carried her and ran down the canyon.
Fortunately, the Lernaia Hydra's multiple heads could not attack at the same time in this abyss. Otherwise, they would have surrounded Brando in an instant. But now, the fifteen heads had to block each other, so they were slower than Brando by a beat.
Furthermore, there were many cracks in the cliff, and the Lernaia Hydra could not do anything to him as he weaved through the cracks.
Brando quickly slid down the cliff with Faena in his arms. He turned a corner in the valley and immediately bumped into Andesha who was walking out of the fog.
Andesha was still holding onto Azure Firmament's scabbard, which had fallen into the valley when he was trying to draw his sword. Azure Firmament was a Fantasy Weapon, and its scabbard was made of special materials. Even though it fell from such a height, it did not break.
But the Tree Herders' Patriarch was stunned when she saw Brando carrying Faena through the fog and landing in front of her.
Her purple eyes stared at the youth in surprise. She was stunned for a moment before she teased him.
"Why? Did you deliver yourself to me?"
Brando shook his head.
"It seems like you already know that the Lionheart is not with me." He took a deep breath and looked at the scabbard in Andesha's hand.
Andesha snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter. The Angel of Darkness is more important to me."
"Then what about this?"
"What is it?"
Andesha was stunned by Brando's words, but Brando had already thrown the gem to her. Andesha's first reaction was to whip it away, but when she saw the gem, her expression changed.
"A Seal Shard?"
Andesha immediately used her vine whip to retrieve the gemstone.
