System In Another World

Chapter 69 - Boundary forest

After a few days of traveling, Jin and co finally arrived at the boundary forest.

"So this is boundary forest." Jin muttered as he looked at the huge forest in front of him.

Eclair didn't say anything and she just strode forward.

Jin sighed when he saw her walked inside the forest. He turned his head to Ur and the rest and nodded at them.

Ur, Jellal, Caramile, and Mercphobia also nodded at him and followed behind him.

Mercphobia walked slowly as he slightly released his aura to keep the monsters away.

Eclair wonder why they didn't met any monster on their way as she know that this forest was quite famous because of the monster living in.

Jin explain to her why they haven't met a single monster. He said that it all thanks to Mercphobia that there's no monster coming at them. The aura of a dragon would scare every monster that is lower at it in food chain.

After an hour of walking, the group passed by a monster deterent barrier. It's a barrier that use to keep monster away. With how much time passed the barrier is pretty worn out now.

The saw an old ruins inside the barrier.

'It's here. I'm sure that Eclair would remember something after she receive the message left by her father.'  Jin thought as he looked at her back.

The group looked around the ruins to find something related to Eclair.

"There's a path that lead to underground here!" Jellal said.

Jin and the rest walked over and looked at the stairs that lead to the underground.

Jin patted Eclair's back and said, "Let's go."

Eclair looked at him. She didn't say anything before she walked down the stairs. Jin and the rest also walked down following behind her.

In the underground room, Eclair looked at her picture in the wall when she was still a child. She is with her parents in the picture but the face of her parents is blurred out.

She reached out her hands and touch the face of the herself in the picture. Suddenly the worn out lacrima release a projection.

""What?!""

Caramile and Ur were starled when the projection appears.

"Projection... The lacrima are still functioning despite being stock here for many years." Jellal said as he looked at the lacrima.

"Hmmm..." Jellal looked at Eclair and said, "It will break after this message so carefully listen to the message."

Eclair nodded her head and looked at the old man in the projection. She listen attentively as the old man reveal an information about him, the phoenix stone, and Eclair.

They finally know that the old man is Kalard and also he is Eclair's father.

Tears form in Eclair's eyes when she heard this.

"Eclair..." Momon looked at Eclair worriedly.

"Eclair..." Caramile looked at her with the same expression. She also lost her father in a shipwreck and without Mercphobia she wouldn't be able to survive.

Jin frown looking at this. Should he destroy the county of Velonica and stole the other half of phoenix stone? After this he will solve that problem for her. He will change her destiny and will f.u.c.k the plot of this world.

He wouldn't mind destroying that county for her.

'Okay, it's decided I will destroy that county after this.' Jin thought and nodded to himself.

...

At night... Jin was sitting in a branch of a tree while watching Eclair dancing.

Eclair was dancing their traditional dance of the phoenix while the moonlight illuminated the surrounding area near her.

The cold breeze of night gently blew at Jin's face while watching Eclair. He didn't think that her dance would be this beautiful.

'Okay, after this I will invite you to Thousand Abyss.' Jin smile as he looked at Eclair.

Jin looked up at the clear moon at the sky, 'Even if she said that she was an immortal and don't want to associate herself to people, I will still invite her. After all I'm a cultivator and could live for thousands of years.

'She probably don't to associate herself to people because of immortality. She don't want to watch her comrades grew up and died of old age.'

Jin glance at his system and thought, 'Also, I will find a suitable manual for Ur and the rest so they would be able to extend their lifespan. I also don't want to see them died of old age before me.'

Jin then looked at his side and asked, "Are you here to watch her too?"

Ur nodded her head at him. She looked at Eclair and said, "She's really beautiful."

"Yeah." Jin said.

"I heard from Jellal that fire village was destroyed four hundred years ago and she was one of the survivors. It only means..." Ur said as she looked at him.

Jin could only nod at her. He decided to tell her this.

"Yeah. She's an immortal. The legend about the phoenix stone are true. It will bring immortality but it will also bring calamity in the world once it release."

Ur turned her head to Jin as she muttered, "Calamity, huh?"
