Pang-!
Finally, the second balloon popped.
With that, we determined that the balloons would pop every four days.
There were three balloons left.
Meaning, we had to find Aira in this forest within 12 days.
However, the forest was so vast and mercilessly expansive that we couldn’t see anything resembling our desired destination.
Day 9 of wandering in the forest.
I decided to do something that had been on my mind for a long time. I climbed up a tree, towering like a sequoia, to get a better view of the forest.
Seureuk, seureuk.
This feat would’ve been impossible if I was still a half-fairy, but not for my originally well-built body.
Of course, if I slipped even slightly, I could fall tens of meters below and shatter like debris. I was nervous, dreams wouldn’t hurt right? What might happen if I died here?
No, let’s focus.
Pak, pak-.
Using the massive front paw of the “Witch Forest Mantis” I had obtained this morning as a makeshift climbing axe or ice pick, I climbed up the tree, finally reaching the treetop that was several dozen meters high, where I could look out over the world.
Whaaaaah-.
Wind blew past my face.
It felt good to see the blue sky after looking only at what essentially was green hell.
Perpetual green flora.
A sea of trees.
The neverending forest expanse stung my eyes.
But what stirred me the most was something that stretched endlessly towards the sky.
A wall?
It was a wall.
Yeah, ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) there was no other way to describe it.
A wall that seemed to have been drawn endlessly from the sky down. I realized that it was the great barrier that was blocking the dark legion’s invasion.
I wondered how great a wall it must be to be praised as humanity’s greatest masterpiece. Seeing it like this, it was truly enormous.
Was it always this big?
Or was it because it was in Aira’s dream?
“So, did you see anything?”
Lily asked as I descended. I frankly replied while stretching my stiff arms and legs.
“There’s nothing but trees.”
“Which side was the wall on?”
“The wall is this way...”
“Then this way is North. At least we have a direction.”
Lily, whom I thought would grumble, surprisingly had an optimistic outlook. I guessed that was the result of drifting in this dream world for a week.
Apart from being too proud of herself and her jealousy towards me because of Aira, she proved to be quite useful and competent.
Which was probably why she was able to fill in for me for a short period of time.
Of course, if I were to say something like that, Lilly would just get angry.
“I’m not replacing you, you’re replacing me!!!”
That was what she would say.
Now that I thought about it, Lily was the maid who had been by Aira’s side until I entered the royal palace.
To her, I was a stone that had rolled in, so to speak. So there was a reason behind her resentment and jealousy towards me.
But, that didn’t matter now.
