Signy was sitting on the ground with her back facing Arthur. She had to take out so of her clothing from it, showing her pale, perfect skin.
Arthur barely glanced at him before putting both of his hands on her back, and then using his power to help her condense her mana.
The level of which she was in was close to the sixth circle, and she had already gathered the mana for the advancent. One thing remained for her to do and that was to condense all of that mana into Spiritual Force.
That was sothing that took so ti when one did not have a high-grade technique like Arthur, and so people would never reach it even after trying for many years, eventually giving up.
Arthur was okay with helping her, as she did not pose a threat to him. Even if she entered the sixth, seventh, eighth, or even the ninth circle, it would all be useless in front of him.
“How are you doing this?” Signy said.
The shock was obvious on her face, as she felt her mana turning into Spiritual Force at a rapid pace, and then out of a sudden she was already in the sixth circle, sothing she thought it would take a year to achieve.
“Done. You should rest now and keep ditating. When you are close to entering the seventh circle, then maybe I will help you. It depends on how things will work out from now.”
A person like Signy was soone that wanted power, not mattering the cost. Arthur did not want to give her for free, as that would be useless. He only helped her get to the sixth circle, so she had more chance of surviving, and also for her to witness his power.
As for helping her to reach the next levels? Then she would have to first prove her value.
“Don’t worry, I will do my best.” Signy said. She even knelled in front of Arthur, who felt that was uncomfortable.
“Good. Now listen.”
Signy got up and focused on Arthur’s next words.
“Your friend Bram and the person from the Doom Order will try to kill you, Helga, and Finn. It will not be when you et, but presumably inside the place where the giants are.”
“I will follow you all, and you will try to help get inside. Once we are there, leave them and explore alone. Maybe call Helga if you truly trust her, otherwise don’t.”
“If anything happens, then I will know through the mark and go toward you instantly. Also, I will call you if I find sothing valuable for you.”
“As for your mission, I hope you can help find these people…”
Arthur left Signy’s cabin after that, returning to his room in the inn, where he waited for three days before they finally t with the person from the Doom Order.
The group t in the inn, and then left the city, eting up with that person on a crossway not that far.
“Bram, long ti no see!”
“Sven, you look good, my brother!”
Sven was a pale blond man that barely had any muscles. He was a traitor from the Doom Order, and soone that everyone else was weary of, except Bram, who was happy to see his friend again.
Signy paid more attention to them after hearing from Arthur that they planned on betraying them, and she noticed so strange behaviors from the two of them, like glancing towards the rest of the group from ti to ti and whispering so words.
Helga, who was just beside Signy, was not stupid, and she also noticed sothing was off. So, she asked Signy if she knew sothing about it, but Signy said nothing.
Arthur had not allowed her to share information with Helga, so Signy thought the best thing she could do was wait.
“The place is not that far from here. We are almost reaching the shore where I already have a ship prepared for us. After that, it is only a one day sailing to reach the island.” Sven said.
Arthur listened to everything using Signy’s mark, so he also heard about the island itself.
The giants lived on an island not that far from the major continent. The reason for people not finding it was because it was invisible. Not only that, but if one did not have the key, then even if you hit it with your ship while sailing, nothing would happen.
“The formations that hide the island are incredible. I wonder if it is possible to have a look at them while I am there.”
They walked for so ti until reaching the shore where a small ship was waiting for them. It was small but had enough size to fit all of them comfortably, with rooms for everyone.
Arthur stared at them from afar, hiding behind a bush. He then sent a ssage to Signy, saying that he would have to use her room.
“This is my ship. Everyone, chose your room and rest. We will reach the island in one day.” Sven said.
Signy went to her room, which was small and barely fit one person, but the mont she locked the door, an old man appeared out of nowhere.
“You scared !”
With the usage of one teleport, Arthur easily got inside the ship, with no one realizing it.
“Hello Signy. You can use the bed. I will stay here quietly. You will not even notice my presence.”
She agreed, as there was no other answer to it, and mind her own business while that old man was sitting cross-legged in the room’s corner, acting like a crazy person.
The journey would only take one day, but everyone still slept to keep their body in peak condition. Yet Signy, who woke up during the night, saw Arthur sitting in the sa position with his eyes open, staring at her.
“This is a dream. I am dreaming.”
Those were the words she kept saying to herself, falling back to sleep, and thinking it was only a nightmare.
After one day, everyone t each other on the deck. Sven had a mysterious purple stone on his hand, and he said, “this is the key to enter the island. After I activate this stone, all the formations that keep the island hidden will disappear for one minute, so we take that chance to rush to the island.”
He then activate the stone, and just like he said, a vast island appeared in front of him out of nowhere. It was so big that it was impossible to see the end.
“Let’s go!”
All of them jumped out of the ship, going straight to that island. Arthur was still sitting cross-legged inside the room, not moving an inch.
Arthur wanted to see if there were any dangers the mont they stepped inside the island, so for that reason he stayed there, watching everything using the mark he had placed on Signy.
The group reached the shore of that island, and nothing happened, which ant the place was safe, at least the first area of it.
After confirming that, Arthur teleported to the island as well, but appearing sowhat distant from the rest of the group.
It looked like a normal island, but there was snow there, lots of snow. The season they were in was not winter, and it was actually sumr. Which ant sothing made the island have snow during all seasons of the year.
Arthur was not there to uncover the mystery behind that, but to find his friends. Hiley, Aria, and Cedric. Everything else was optional, and he would only do it if he had the chance.
“Where should I start?”
The mories he saw from that giant were not clear, so it was impossible to find the location where the Doom Order was, but if Arthur was not mistaken, then it would surely be behind a door, inside a cave, or sothing like that.
Snowflakes fell, hitting Arthur’s face as he walked deeper inside the island. The snow beneath his feet made him drown after each step, which led him to use his flight spell, floating above the snow.
“How troubleso.”
Despite that place being known as the island of the giants, there was not a single giant visible. At least Arthur did not find after exploring for quite so ti.
“Are they hidden inside the hidden island? Are they running from sothing?”
Maybe Arthur’s luck was finally on his side. When he thought about the lack of giants, a group of them were walking through the forest.
They were beings that could change their height, but not their weight. The giants Arthur saw were only five ters tall, but every ti they walked, the snow beneath was destroyed. They were a lot bigger than they seed.
“Are they from a hunting group? This is the perfect opportunity to follow them and learn more about the dangers of this place.”
