Time passed, and it was already the next day.
I awoke from my unconsciousness, and sat on the ground, raising my torso. I stayed in my warm foetal posture for a long time, immersed in meditation and confusion.
Even though I was a Demon King in a past incarnation, I had no idea what has just unfolded.
I had no idea what actually happened, and when I looked at the time on my watch, which my father had given me for the journey, I was taken aback to realize, I had been unconscious for six hours.
But before that…where the hell am I?
I was no longer near the river stream where I had been.
Looking around, I was encircled by trees that towered high above my head.
A dense fog loomed a few millimeters above the ground, saturating the air with virtually perceptible wetness.
Trees and unusually dense fog...
I dropped back on my butt, dumbfounded by what this might possibly entail.
I'd already arrived in the Elven Forest. How in the world did I get here?
As I lifted myself up, I was relieved that I didn't have to walk for so long.
I think I'll be in Thysalen shortly!
It had been more than seven days, if not a week, since I had left Rosevain.
I had my bag, things and clothes on my back as well as an egg-like stone that had sprung from my back-palm from a Crest that resembled a Dragon's face and wings.
Huh! this....so, then the crest is...
Right! Now I get what happened! I'll be waiting for you, my little friend! take your time..!
Seems like, I will have a companion soon.
...
The encircling fog then reduced my eyesight to a few meters around me. While using mana to strengthen my eyes helped a lot, it didn't answer the main problem of how to walk from this location.
I strengthened my body, allowing me to perform mana rotations, which had become second nature to me by this point.
I could only absorb about twenty percent of what I could do when just meditating right now, but I couldn't complain, the situation was tough.
Right then! I should get going! I don't want to make this long....So...where should I go?
In my excitement, I began walking and unconsciously increased the speed of my steps.
As I continued forward, a slightly weird feeling came in my mind.
Then I sensed something on the left side of the road ahead of me.
As I strengthened my eyes with mana, my eyes had a very strong ability to sense danger. The feeling of immediate crisis I felt caused my senses to immediately sharpen.
Then I quickly lowered my body to the left, infusing mana into the blade of my hand, transforming it into a razor-sharp edge. This was an Immortal Arts technique called "Phantom Blade" in my previous world, however with the mana attributed here, it would be more accurate to call it a wind attribute ability.
Suddenly, a black figure flashed by where I was standing.
The spot where it had pounced was virtually within my grasp, allowing me to see what it was right away.
It was....
