Chapter 91: Plain and Simple

"Well then...I'm off."

"Right, be safe out there."

"I will, see you later." Ashton kissed Aria in the cheeks before exiting the library.

In the real world, within the underground tunnel network, the mobile safehouse appeared silently, it is cloaked so nothing sensed its appearance. Inside the safehouse, Ashton buffed himself with spells he needed to keep himself safe before exiting.

He had been stalled for two weeks now and clearly, that can't go on anymore. It's time for him to resume his journey down to the unknown depths of this place.

Being wiser now compared to before, Ashton made sure that every single thing that would give away his location is covered. He left no footsteps, sound, or even scent as he traveled. He made sure that he was moving like a ghost to keep himself safe and maintain the option of picking his fights.
