As soon as I enter another area through the portal, I was greeted by the sight of devas looking at me and at sister Xiare. Although they are scary-looking devas, this lady here has seen much scarier devas. Yes, this lady here is not afraid.

"Eh? There are more of them?" Sister Xiare looks at each of every devas near us. From left to right, she was shocked by the huge amount of devas roaming around.

If one counts them one by one, the total number of devas near us is about fifty plus. That's not including the other devas in the other areas within the forbidden mountains too.

"As thou both art mereth seekers of the truth, this oneth shalt preserveth this portal. Hurry as this portal will remain open for a mere quarter of a day." The woman said to us.

Although we're now on the other side and not in the shrine anymore, I could hear the woman's voice in my mind.

But still, a quarter of a day huh… I guess we have six hours to find my master before the portal closes. Six hours is enough time to find my master and to get to the wedding event on time.

However… Where do I find my master across this huge area of land? Especially since this is a mountain? Nah, might as well ask the devas looking at us.

I walk in front of a certain deva carrying a huge book behind its back and a large greatsword lying on its waist. Although it was piqued by my appearance, it did not attack me as the deva recognize me as one of them.

Though they would surely attack me once I lose the shard the sect master gave me.

"Have you seen a man roaming around?" I ask. Since there's no problem with talking with a statue, why not give it a try?

"Nescio translitterandi linguam tuam." The statue looks at me with a curiosity within its eyes. Although its eyes were made from stones, I could feel that the deva in front of me is looking at me.

"Homo. Montibus." Although I do not know the ancient words, I remember the words, "homo" and "montibus." Homo means man and montibus mean mountains. These words are one of the few ancient words I know.

Don't mock me okay? This lady is trying her best okay?

"Et dicet non novi hominem." The deva shakes his head while its four hands were waving at me, implying that the deva did not see my master.

I bow in front of the deva and return back to the dumbfounded looking sister Xiare.

"Did you just talked to a giant?" Sister Xiare looks at me with an amazement within her eyes.

"Ahaha… yes, I think?" Although my ancient language vocabulary is pretty broken, I guess I made a conversation with the deva. That counts right?

"So, what did the giant says?" Sister Xiare looks at the deva I talked with from earlier. The deva was simply looking at us. Although it was piqued by interest, the deva did not seem like its going to talk with us right now.

"The giant says that it does not know anything. I think we should move to a higher ground." I look at the mountains surrounding us. Although that mountain is very high to climb, I think we should be able to climb it by asking the deva from earlier.

I turn around and look back at the deva. Once again, I came in front of the deva. The deva was simply standing in front of me, waiting for me to say what I want to say.

"Adjuvo. Nos?" I bow in front of the deva as I pray inside my heart, hoping to make my broken ancient language to be understood by the deva.

"Quid est?" The deva in front of me closes its eyes as it listens to my next word. Its arms were not closed off together, implying that the deva is interested in what I will say next.

"Mihi. Quod. Puella." I turn back and pointed at sister Xiare. The deva in front of me opens its eyes again and look at my hand pointing at sister Xiare. The deva then looks at sister Xiare before I continue, "Scando. Montubus."

I then pointed out the highest mountain near us. The deva in front of me then turns its eyes back at me than my hand and then the mountains that I'm pointing at.

After finally looking at the mountains, the deva in front of me simply closes its eyes once again and began thinking. Although they are just made from rocks, they still have the essence of a deva and asuras so yeah, they too can think despite their brains being rock.

For quite a while, the deva in front of me stood silently as if it returned back from just being a mere statue. While the statue is thinking about something, I notice that its hands were constantly moving around for time to time.

"Perbene." The deva in front of me opens its eyes again and look at Xiare and at this lady.

"Placet. Exspectare." I said to the deva in front of me, hoping to stay put as I call Xiare."

The deva nods and sits back as it waits for Xiare to come near the deva.

"Xiare! Come here!" I said to Xiare through telepathy. Hopefully, that would make less noise right?

"Alright!" She suddenly shouted like an idiot. Are you really that dumb to yell at this lady through telepathy?!

Annoyed, Xiare comes in front of me and looks at the deva who's also looking at Xiare. The deva in front of us opens its lower hands' palms. I then walk into the lower left part of its hands while Xiare on the right part. Alt

Oh right! I did not tell you about the height of the deva in front of me, right? Well, this deva is about seven meters in height and about three meters in length. Yep, this deva is really really tall.

Though this deva's height in front of me falls to the other devas roaming around. There were even 10 meters in height, making the deva look like a walking tower castle. I'm not even joking about that.

"Parati estis vos? The deva looks at us and asks if we are ready.

"Xiare, are you ready?" I ask Xiare as I position myself.

"Yeah." Xiare sits down and began holding the deva's finger as if she's scared to fall down.

I then look at the deva as I say, "Parati. Sumus"

The deva, in turn, nods back at me and began standing up, causing the hands of the deva to move as well, which in turn, shakes as if there's an earthquake below us.

As the deva notices that we are shaking, the two upper hands of the deva began moving closer to us and form a cupped hand by using its four hands to protect us from falling.

Slowly, the deva walks neither too fast nor too slow to prevent us from suddenly falling and to prevent us from wasting too much time.
