Chapter 1278 An Elaborate Prank.

??All of them can see these lines. If a line is pointed out to them by others, then they will be able to follow the line and they will find its source or where it ends.

Jarkon didn't care if they identified Soverick's aura so he didn't bother to help. Fortunately, there are 5 others who are enthusiastic. They helped the clueless four gain some clues about the aura. So all of them finally got hold of Soverick's aura. They became sure of it when they reached the front of the portal.

"It is certain that Soverick was here. His aura is too fresh and thick here. These traces indicate that he was here not too long ago."

"That should be impossible. Soverick has been dead for more than a hundred years. He couldn't have been here."

"But the auras are here to prove it."

"Then the auras might be fake."

"That's why we must get to the bottom of this. We will know if he is dead or not when we get more information."

Jarkon was silent as they discussed. He is not considering the current matter at hand but the implication of it. He didn't think they would find anything at all. But here they are with traces of what appears to be Soverick's.

It means that Salvini didn't send him on a wild goose chase and that there might be some truth to her claim that Soverick was working with others to harm the plane.

It might not be true seeing as Soverick might be alive after the racial council declared him dead. Maybe it is Salvini who managed to get his title that is up to something bad. It is highly possible that Salvini lied. He has personal experience of her scheming, but even if she had lied about Soverick and falsely accused him, it is certain at this point that something fishy is going on.

He promised himself, "Whatever it is, I will just do the bare minimum. I won't make it my personal business. I will run at the sight of trouble."

He is already prepared to wash his hands of the results of their investigation before they get the results. He knows it is unlikely that he would be able to do so, but he has to try not to get himself sucked into another whirlpool of schemes.

He decided to do the bare minimum after making that resolve. He examined the traces at the portal to ensure that he was not mistaken. Unfortunately, he is not mistaken. Soverick's aura is very thick in front of the portal. It seems that his aura was released before he entered or left the portal.

The traces are so much that the line that they formed in the river of scents is very wide. Anybody with their bloodline will be able to lock onto this trace if they come here. It is almost as if they have seen Soverick themselves. His traces are that obvious.

Jarkon asked. "Who will go first?"

They have already reached this stage so there is no going back. But he surely is not going to be the first one to head into an unknown plane. Every odd thing going on here are indication that something strange is going on and strange things are most likely dangerous.

"Let's draw straws," ALUINE suggested.

They agreed so they drew straws. The unlucky one will lead the way into the plane. That unlucky one was ALUINE.

He complained to them, "Me and my stupid mouth."

"Hurry up. Time is running out."

"You can't go back on your word. Be courageous and brave the danger for Justice."

They urged and encouraged him so ALUINE went into the portal. The others went in after him. They each felt disoriented for a short while before they regained their bearing. What they saw took their breath away.

"What happened here?" ALUINE asked in shock.

ALUINE is safe but they are not concerned about that right now. There is no army waiting for them or any guards defending the portal but they are not concerned about that either. They are all focused on the scene of destruction before them. They can see decayed corpses as far as the eye can see. There are mountains and rivers formed of these corpses. They pile up high and spread far and wide.

The air is thick with the scent of decay present in Soverick's traces.

The air is also thick with soot and ash. Even the clouds are dark with soot. It makes the plane dark and gloomy. It is clear that fire has burned in the plane for a very long time. It is probably why there are no forests in their line of sight.

What shocked these battle sage monkeys with the bloodline of the lion of justice was that they could see Soverick's scent on each and every one of the corpses. His scent is everywhere in the plane. It is in the air and in the sky.

It appears to them that each decaying corpse seems to have been killed by Soverick. It is the best explanation they can come up with for why his scent is on every corpse. It is either that or someone was truly dedicated to fooling them.

"What trickery is going on here?"

"Did Soverick create a massacre here?"

"But why would he do it?"

"Is this just an elaborate prank?"

They are shocked and perplexed. Their confusion is understandable. So they went into the plane to investigate. They found out that the name of the plane was the Gattling plane.

The Gattling plane is a plane ruled by gods. The squad of justice found some priests and asked them about the situation of the plane. The cause for this baffling situation is a long story but every priest they spoke to said the same thing.

They all said, "This calamity all started when the god of plagues and diseases went out of control. She turned on everyone in the plane including the gods. But it was the one we most trusted that betrayed us. She was the root of our problems.".
