Chapter 576: Secret Realm

The Barrier for the Inner Region was almost impossible for others to pass through. However, for Gabriel, it proved to be very easy. 2

What was even better was that he had to go in all alone, so he didn't have to worry about always watching over his back. He also had an entire army in his shadow, so it made things even easier for him. 

As he ventured deeper into the Core Region, Gabriel noticed the stark contrast between the Inner Zone and the Core Region. 

In the Inner Region, he could at least see some things. However, as soon as he passed through the barrier, his vision had completely gone blank, as if he had become blind. 

Not only did his vision, but his other senses were also blocked right away. He couldn't smell anything. He couldn't hear anything. He also couldn't feel any touches. 

It was as if he had entered into a vacuum, devoid of any sensory inputs. The only thing he was left with was his own thoughts, and the realization that he was still breathing. 

The entire place was confusing. He didn't even know where he had to go, or if he was even on the right track. 

He couldn't ask for the help of his army, but he knew that it was also useless. If even he couldn't see in this place, then there was no chance that they were going to see. 

The only clue he had was that he had to walk straight, or he could be walking in circles without even realizing. 

Fortunately, there appeared to be no obstructions in his path. 

He didn't know what the terrain of the core region was like. Was it like the inner zone? Or was it different? Was it like a forest, or was it barren? The only thing he knew was that he hadn't fallen yet. 

Since he couldn't feel any senses, he couldn't use touch to know what the terrain was. 

"Where am I to go?" He asked, only to realize that no words actually came out of his mouth. It was as if he couldn't speak either. 

He decided to keep moving forward, hoping that he would eventually find some clues about his location. 

As he moved through the unknown void, he began to feel somewhat warm. It was strange for him to feel the warmth since he had lost all his senses. However, that warmth didn't feel scary. Instead, it felt comfortable. 

It was as if he was being embraced by that warmth, that kept inviting him closer. 

Since the warmth didn't feel threatening, and it was the only clue he had in this land of the unknown, he kept walking closer to the warmth. It was as if that warmth was his only guide in this place. 

As he walked towards the warmth, he started to see some light ahead of him. Even though his eyes were still filled with darkness, but he was able to see a blurry source of light. 

The light was flickering and it was getting brighter and brighter, and he could hear some faint voices. He couldn't make out what the voices were saying, but the sensation of the warmth and the light was all he needed to move forward.

As he got closer and closer to the light, the voices started getting clearer and he could make out what they were saying. 

The voices seemed to be chanting something in a language he could not understand. But the rhythm and melody of the chant enticed him and made him feel more comfortable in this strange place.

He didn't realize yet, since he couldn't properly see, but there were two Ancient Golems standing on both sides of the Source of Light. 

As he got closer, the golems noticed him and turned their heads towards him. A shiver went down his spine as he realized that he may not be welcomed in this place.

However, the Golems soon returned to their usual calmness, as if they had no intention of stopping Gabriel. 

Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief and continued towards the Source of Light. The closer he got, the brighter and more blinding the light became, until he was standing in front of a massive, glowing orb.

He could barely see the orb, which was the only thing in this vast land of darkness. 

He subconsciously reached out his hand toward the orb that seemed to be calling for him. 

It was as if the strange familiar feeling in his heart was only getting stronger with each passing second. 

As soon as his fingers touched the orb, all his senses returned. He was able to feel and see everything! However, before he could even take notice of hei surroundings, an enormous force pulled him into the orb, and everything went blank. 

Gabriel felt weightless and a sense of calm washed over him. After what seemed like an eternity, he opened his eyes to find himself in a vast, lush meadow, surrounded by vibrant trees and flowers he had never seen before.

The air smelled sweet, and the sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm orange glow across the landscape. As Gabriel took it all in, he noticed a figure in the distance, making their way towards him.

As the figure approached, Gabriel realized it was a young woman with a warm smile on her face. She greeted him warmly and beckoned him to follow her. 

With some hesitation, Gabriel trailed behind her, curious about this strange place he had found himself in. 

Together, they walked deeper into the meadow, and Gabriel began to feel a sense of peace he had never known before. It was as if there was some unknown longing inside him for this place. 

The young woman led Gabriel to a small, crystal-clear pond in the midst of the meadow. She motioned for him to sit beside her on the soft grass, and they spent several peaceful hours enjoying the beauty of their surroundings.
