The sand hill there had been completely destroyed, its grains scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, our bodies had sunk waist-deep into the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did we just get ignored by that monster?\" Izel spoke, her voice filled with shock and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had happened in just a few seconds, and without much commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled my leg out of the sand. \"Fortunately, it considered us too small to be a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izel tried to pull herself free. \"I don’t know whether I should laugh because we didn’t have to fight that worm, or cry because something like that exists here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her while dusting off my clothes. \"I think crying is the better option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, I turned my head and looked toward the direction the bird had flown... the same direction we were heading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I doubt that will be the last time we see that monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s keep going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed as we advanced deeper into the great desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking east, I could now see the sun fully revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn’t good for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat rose and became extremely irritating. This was far hotter than what a normal desert should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at the massive corpse of the worm lying before me as a stream of sweat ran down my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned back to see Izel urgently gulping down water from a flask. \"Stop drinking so much at once. We need to think about what’s ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the flask away from her lips. \"I’m paying you, so stop complaining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I didn’t expect that to be turned against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed and redirected my attention forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, I saw what might be our destination—the place from which the signal had been sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the far horizon, a rocky wall rose high, the same yellow as the sand, stretching right and left as far as my sight could reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Izel, who was wiping sweat and blood from herself. \"There isn’t much left, so don’t slow down now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I said that, she looked at me with her piercing eyes but didn’t comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that I said there wasn’t much left, but deep down I knew this was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every passing moment, the wall grew closer until only a few kilometers separated us from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearer we got, the fewer sand worms there were—and I might know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because far away, a larger beast like the previous bird was flying while holding a worm in its claw, the latter struggling uselessly to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very far from us, so perhaps we were safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I don’t think those massive monsters would want to eat us. To them, we’re like fingers made of skin and bone... right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe I’m the only one thinking that... I hope I’m not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izel raised her hand and wiped the sweat flowing toward her eyes. \"How are we supposed to find them there now? I don’t think they’ll stay outside and expose themselves to danger. It’s also possible we drifted a little off course and moved away from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was right. And the problem was that they hadn’t sent any other signal besides that one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bird disappearing beyond the rocky wall, I might have understood why they had settled for just that single signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s hope they weren’t swallowed like some light snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s nothing we can do now but go there. At least we’ll find some shade to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than two days of fighting and moving without any sleep, I began to feel exhaustion seeping into my body. I suppose I need rest now before it gets worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I was thinking, we drew closer to the rocky wall. The moment we did, I felt something enter my sensing range from the left, heading toward us at insane speed, accompanied by a faint whistling sound tearing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I did was stop in place, just as a swift arrow passed beside me and buried itself in the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izel noticed it and jumped back, ready to fight. \"What was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at where the arrow had landed before reaching out and pulling it free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised it as sand fell from my hand, studying it for a few moments and recognizing its owner without much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my head to the left. I saw nothing, but I understood what we needed to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lifted it so Izel could see. She stepped closer. \"Well, I guess we don’t need to find them—they did that for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at it briefly. \"Is that Kyle’s arrow?\" I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, we changed our course and headed left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every step, the scale of the wall became clearer. True, it was nothing compared to what we saw in the Cradle of Shards, but it was still fairly tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a considerable distance, I finally saw the one who had fired the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, seated on a protruding rock halfway up the wall, Kyle held his bow and tracked us with his sharp eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw we had reached where he wanted, he stood and began climbing down the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were balanced and swift, indicating he was used to this kind of motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long before he descended the height and his feet touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, we approached him. He looked at us with his usual calm, yet within those tranquil eyes, I could see the tension gnawing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I held out the arrow and handed it to him. \"Thanks for the guidance... so, were you the one who sent the signal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accepted the arrow and returned it to the quiver on his back. \"No. It was the princess, and Leona Starlin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Kyle was the only one who still used formalities in our class... whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izel stepped forward. \"Then where are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she asked that, Kyle raised his hand and pointed toward an opening in the wall a few dozen meters away. \"They’re in there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said that, Izel moved toward the cave entrance, muttering, \"Finally, I’ll meet real humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t understand what she meant by those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I followed behind her as well until we reached the cave entrance and entered directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, we found Leona and Ellen sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Glad you’re safe, guys...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izel’s words stopped in her mouth as she stared at them for a moment before I voiced the question on my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you fall off a cliff or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-02T09:38:17.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","8ab88e845bdccad2fba0c5c7ec4515abcc4bcf93a4e6253d186eaf5890b0e399","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-69","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-68",183,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-cover.jpg"]
