CHAPTER 158 - Keryu's Plans.
Among the many realms in Astralorbis, the one known to be most lawless and dangerous was always the demon realm.It was true that demons weren't just bloodthirsty and would kill anyone, but to races that weren't demons, they were evil because of their tendencies.
However, there was a place in the demon realm where even the worst demons feared to step in. It is called the desolate region.

This area wasn't called desolate because no one lived here—it was called desolate because no sane being lived here. If Alex were to come across any living being, they would most probably be hostile, so as Sophie had said, he needed to be prepared.
The oppressive energy seemed to weigh on Alex more with every passing moment, but he remained unshaken as his gravity training was harder than this.
'It would've been good if I knew where she was, though...' Alex sighed as he continued his stride. If he knew where Lilia was, then he could've just rushed there, but the problem was that even in the plot where Keryu goes to bring Lilia back, the exact location was never clear.
It was always said that it was in the desolate region, but...
'The desolate region is as big as a country...' Another sigh left his lips. In an area this big, finding Lilia was like
What he didn't know was that far from what he had thought—Alex wasn't even in the academy. All of his plans for saving Lilia and making her fall for him—which would never have happened—had already failed without him implementing them.
