Chapter 2076

Despite having been in the dark for some time, it was, in fact, no longer than what was needed to finish a cup of tea. Before Fane was consumed by the darkness, the sun had hung high in the center of the sky, and the valley was bright as day. He estimated that it should be noon.

However, it was already sunset when he got into this dimension.

It seemed like a few hours had passed in the blink of an eye. Fane rubbed his sore shoulders and struggled to get up from the ground, only then able to study his surroundings. There were majestic mountains behind him and a flat stony land before him. Mountain ranges laid before his sight.

He should be at the mountain’s heel. There was even a gurgling stream in front of him, flowing from west to east.

"Where is this place?”

Fane stood on his toes as he gazed at the mountain behind him, but all he could see at that moment was a layer of mist that covered the peak of the mountain.

"Is this the Cliff of Sorrow?”

Fane was unsure of this himself. He knew he had fallen into the Ten Absolute Trap Array after jumping off the Cliff of Sorrow. Eventually, he managed to escape from the array eye of this very trap array.

He had no idea where he was at this moment, however.

Fane curiously walked a few steps back before a loud thud was heard, and Fane

was knocked a few steps back. The space in front of him was transparent, but there seemed to be a force field in place. He knew right away that although the transparent space behind him looked like

nothing, it was within the scope of the Ten Great Array. Nonetheless, the space was concealed by an illusion and looked like there was nothing in that space. None would be able to cross through this barrier nor rescue the people beyond it.

Regardless, Fane had left the trap array, and his surroundings were very safe. There was a tinge of regret in him that he had left his father behind. Still, he did not regret that entirely, knowing that this was a dangerous place.

Nonetheless, Fane would be a cold-blooded person if he truly ignored the remaining three—Jed, Dwight, and Albion—who were still in the trap array.

Fane had no idea if he could leave this dimension.

He took a few steps forward before hearing something crunching beneath his feet; it sounded like he had stepped on fallen branches or leaves. Fane subconsciously lowered his head and realized he had stepped on another skeleton.

Fane frowned at the sight and stepped back before squatting to have a better look at the bones. The skeleton was dressed in green clothes, and based on the looks of it, this person had died many years ago.

Moreover, this area was right outside the Ten Absolute Trap Array, indirectly proving that this place was an airtight area. Strangely, the green clothes on this skeleton seemed different from the clothes worn by the others deceased in the Ten Absolute Trap Array. The green clothes should have withered in time, seeing as it was exposed for a long period, but the clothes on this specific skeleton showed otherwise.

The clothes looked bright as though they were only worn yesterday.

Stretching out a hand and touching the hem of the clothes, Fane rubbed on the fabric and noticed that the clothes were made of good quality. Moreover, the outer shirt was not made of ordinary materials at all, seeing as numerous rune spells Fane could not understand were engraved into the shirt. It might just be a great magic of sorts that shielded the clothes from being ruined by fire and water, however. The clothes might even help resist certain attacks.

The reason Fane squatted to study the bones carefully was not for the clothes the deceased had, but for their bones instead. The bones seemed to be different from what he had seen in the past— covered magic seals engraved with red charms. On top of that, Fane determined that these were not purposely engraved on the deceased after they had passed. Instead, they just automatically appeared on the bones!

Ordinary people could not have achieved this, no doubt. Something similar had been described in the memories the great master left for Fane. Some experts who practiced special methods would automatically have rune seals engraved on their bones, ones that could enhance the attack power of a person's martial skills and even enhance their understanding toward martial arts.
