129 Desert Rush

As Vespera, Gina, and I were flying toward the battlefield in the south, I used my voice crystal to contact Reinar.

He was probably sick of me sending him messages in the middle of the night, but it wasn't my fault that all emergencies happened around these hours.

I told him that I would be sending him the black pearl that we had gathered from the bandits at the Aridonia capital and asked him to study it, explaining that it was the item responsible for turning people into lesser demons.

Obviously, I urged him not to ingest it in any way. It's not like Reinar was dumb enough to eat it, but I just wanted to make sure.

After I sent the message with the voice crystal and the pearl with the delivery tablet, we increased our flying speed toward the empress' camp.

It was still the middle of the night, but the moons were shining bright, giving us just enough illumination for us to see what was up ahead.
