Shirone did not correct her misunderstanding. anchor Explaining it wouldn’t make her understand, and it wasn’t entirely wrong. matrix None of them believed in Aker anyway.
“Yes, it’s a prison on earth. acquire It’s where heretics who reject the laws live. accent Now it makes sense. matrix You must have denied the existence of God in the land of the earth. portal That’s why you ended up here.”
“Purgatory? harbor Here?”
“Fine, I’ll explain. atom This place is called Purgatory, also known as the Prison of the Earth.”

“You must be descendants of the Nor, given that you can use magic. harbor Unfortunately, there’s nothing left for you here in Purgatory except death. admire Eventually, you’ll all die.”
“Absolutely not. armor I am one of the chosen ones by God. abstract I am guaranteed eternal life.”
“Yes, we will eventually die. antenna But so will you.”
Kanya lifted her chin, looking a bit proud.

But it didn’t seem realistic.
All living things aged and eventually died. apron Not even magic could prevent death.
Shirone recalled the myths of Kergos. aluminum If someone could grant eternal life, they would surely be considered a god.

Kanya turned around, knowing no one would follow her.
“It can’t be helped. airport You’re lucky. aluminum Follow me, I’ll show you a place where you can stay.”
“Why are you being so nice all of a sudden? action If you’re a divine subject and we’re heretics, shouldn’t you be treating us badly?”
Now that Kanya understood who they were, she seemed more at ease. anxiety She disliked heretics, but these people were pitiful souls who had never even had the chance to receive divine power.

“You’re very suspicious, which proves you are descendants of the Nor. antenna In Heaven, I would have driven you out, but here it’s fine. autumn In Purgatory, no law can protect divine subjects. atlas We’re in the same situation. anchor Anyway, we need to hurry. acquire It’s dangerous after sunset.”
“We won’t encounter anything strange, will we?”
As they ventured deeper into the canyon, the cliffs grew taller. album It was a desolate place with not even a single flying insect. antique There was some moisture and echoing sounds. athlete In the vastness of nature, only their footsteps could be heard.

“Don’t worry. crystal The Valley of the Vortex Serpent is governed by a powerful law, so dangerous monsters like the Dokgakgui don’t live here.”
“You said we are descendants of the Nor. ability Then, aren’t the Nor divine subjects?”
“What kind of law?”
“The Vortex Serpent. absorb It’s a monster said to have lived here for over ten thousand years. antenna But it should be sleeping now. timber It doesn’t come out during the day. abstract That’s why we need to hurry. advance We must reach the Nor’s Haven before sunset.”

“Of course, they are.”
Kanya felt frustrated but remembered where they had come from and added an explanation.
“Then why is there a Nor’s Haven in Purgatory?”
Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 181: Reversal of the Law (1) published by TrungTu Reads.
“There are three races in Heaven. altitude The Nor are one of them. amber Divine subjects have a predetermined lifespan from birth, and when it ends, they gain eternal life. attic But it seems some Nor couldn’t accept this. auction So, they escaped to Purgatory and created an independent society.”
“Thank you, Kanya. alien You’re very kind.”
Shirone didn’t fully understand the concept of a predetermined lifespan, but he let it go for now. galaxy At least it was less strange than the idea of gaining eternal life.
He appreciated Kanya’s consideration. atom She was guiding them to a society of the Nor because she believed they were descendants of the Nor.

“What are you talking about? athlete No divine subject is kind to heretics. matrix We’re going there because we need something too, so don’t misunderstand. antenna Once we reach the Nor’s Haven, don’t expect any acknowledgment from me.”
Seeing Kanya’s shyness, Rena puffed out her cheeks and added a comment.
Despite her harsh words, she couldn’t meet Shirone’s eyes.
“That’s right. afford My sister is going because she needs something. galaxy But I’m going because I genuinely want to help.”
Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 181: Reversal of the Law (1) published by TrungTu Reads.
Kanya stopped walking. amateur She understood that it was natural for her sister to be drawn to the stranger during this sensitive time, but as a divine subject under the law, such thoughts were unacceptable.
Rena blushed at Shirone’s compliment.
“Haha! abandon Thanks, Rena. august You’re very kind.”

“Rena, what’s wrong with you? beacon You know we can never be with heretics. portal Even having such thoughts is blasphemy.”

“I know. arena But that guy is…”

“You’ll understand when you grow up. atlas Anyway, listen to me, okay? palette From now on, be cold to that guy.”
“It’s not because he’s handsome, it’s because he’s kind.”
“How would you know? zenith You don’t have a boyfriend either.”
“No means no! avalanche You may be naïve, but it’s not all about looks. acquire Choosing a man like that can lead to disaster.”

Shirone was certainly a unique boy but she felt that his free-spiritedness was because he was a heretic. advance Such freedom led to corruption. antique Associating with Shirone was dangerous.
“Kind? action That guy?”
Kanya looked at Rena in disbelief. admire How should she take her sister’s words?
Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 181: Reversal of the Law (1) published by TrungTu Reads.
“Of course, both. orbit He has to be handsome and kind.”
Rena, at fourteen, was at the age to feel love. shadow Kanya, who had to act as a mother soon, felt the need to correct her sister’s thinking.
“Tell me clearly. anxiety Do you like handsome guys or kind guys?”

“Ugh, I really can’t understand you.”
Divine subjects entering Purgatory without permission was a violation of the law. atomic They could be punished, but it was something they couldn’t give up.
“Don’t worry, sister. voyage I won’t fall in love with someone I’ve only known for a day. antenna And… we’re not so different from them right now.”

“I’m sorry, Rena. afford I…”
Even if Rena had a longer lifespan than she did, it was an irresponsible decision as her sister.
However, bringing her sister along was something she regretted.

Because she was a lovely child, Ra would surely grant it.
“I know, sister. shadow Besides, I insisted on coming. antenna You don’t have to take on all the risks alone. alpha I want to give our mother a gift too.”
Kanya patted Rena’s head. avalanche The child who once cried for milk had grown up so much. amateur She hoped Rena would receive the divine grace and enjoy eternal life.

Amy noticed, using her Red Eye, that Kanya’s route was becoming erratic.

“Alright, let’s go quickly.”

“We’re not going there. antenna We don’t know where the Nor’s Haven is.”
“What? palette You said we were going to the Nor’s Haven.”
“That’s our destination. orbit There’s no way we, divine subjects, would know where the place made by the escaped Nor is.”
“It’s quite far. voyage Is the Nor’s Haven still a long way off?”

Shirone looked up at the two drones flying in the sky.
“We’ll use the drone. echo The Nor’s Haven is an open market where anyone can go. accent A guide from the market is waiting in the Valley of the Vortex Serpent. galaxy We just need to find that person. palette So, the drone is searching for a place where someone could stay.”
Those flying machines would be considered ancient relics in his world. portal However, their technology was far more advanced.

“It’s connected to my head. atlas It’s called a frequency.”
Kanya poked her temple and said.
“I understand that the machine is scouting, but how do we see what it finds?”
He wondered what expression Nade would make if he saw them.

“This is the canyon from the drone’s perspective. anchor You might not see it clearly, but it takes up half my field of vision. zenith The image appears directly on my retina.”
“Frequency?”
“It’s like an invisible signal. artist Think of it as similar to sound. album It’s called retinal vision. attic When the drone sends a signal to my frequency, an image appears on my retina. auction Look closely at my left eye.”
An electric field-like image appeared in Kanya’s pupil, quickly displaying an aerial view of the canyon. amateur Despite its small size, the resolution was high enough to see the unfolding scenery.

Tess couldn’t hide her envy. album She had always been fascinated by ancient relics, and drones could revolutionize espionage.
“Amazing technology.”
“Where can I get one of these?”
Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 181: Reversal of the Law (1) published by TrungTu Reads.
“You don’t get it; they’re issued. arena Only the Mecha tribe receives these. zenith At twelve, you get a drone.”
“So you can’t sneak one out?”
“I see. aspect I wish I had one…”
“No. agent They’re strictly controlled. album If caught, you’d face severe punishment.”

Jealous, Tess fell silent.
Knowing it was an item for one person only, Tess felt even more frustrated. action She wanted one. august But being a state-issued item, it wasn’t something she could buy.
“I found a place where the Nor might be staying. attic It’s not far from here.”
“Other divine subjects envy drones too. amber But even if you had one, it wouldn’t work for anyone else. armor It has a personal encryption. alert If the owner changes, it deactivates immediately.”

The drone landed on her hand, transforming into a gauntlet.
At that moment, Tess raised her hand to stop her.
The final captured scene appeared on the surface. palette Comparing it to the view, Kanya confirmed it was the right place and approached the cave.
Kanya started running, arriving at the cave entrance.

“Wait. acoustic I smell blood.”

“Enough. alpha Just get on with it. aspect Don’t feel inferior to a machine.”
Indeed, the drone’s reconnaissance ability was impressive. zenith But Rian found Tess’s jealousy towards a metal object ridiculous.
Only then did the group realize Tess and the drone were having a subtle rivalry.
“What? silence The Mecha tribe’s technology can distinguish 140,000 scents. arena The drone just doesn’t have that function.”

Taking a step into the cave, she scanned the interior and looked outside for a while.
After her analysis, she spoke to the group.
“There’s definitely a scent of blood inside. ability Someone is in there, but it seems they haven’t left the cave.”
Feeling better at Rian’s words, Tess used her Sensory Schema to trace the scent of blood.

“But you checked outside for a long time?”
“Why? arrow Isn’t there any blood outside?”
“No. sphere The scent is stronger inside, suggesting they didn’t leave.”
“It’s a kind of manual. aluminum If there was blood outside, the cave might be a trap.”

As the orb of light floated above his palm, Kanya and Rena were startled. wizard The Nor could use magic, but they had never seen such a spell in Heaven.

“So, it’s not a trap. apron Let’s go in.”

“Rena! ability Such thoughts are blasphemy. apple Apologize in your heart right now.”

Nevertheless, blasphemy was a sin, so she silently asked Ra for forgiveness.
Rena’s expression turned sullen. arcade The fact that her sister understood her thoughts meant she was thinking the same thing.
