Chapter 279: Ch 282: Reaching the Core of the World
...
The core of the world might sound like an area that was impossible to reach by mere humans but that was actually not the case. There were not one, not two but a total of 5 ways that Hana knew using which they would be able to reach the core of the world. Rein and Sophia had also thought of two ways so in total they had seven ways to make this seemingly impossible journey.
But after discussing about all the ways, Rein decided to choose the most straightforward one. This was a way that Hana knew. In ancient times when humans had not even appeared in the world, there existed a way for living beings of the world to reach the holy land located at the very core where the will of the world resided.
According to Hana this path was created by the will of the world itself so long as it existed this path would never disappear. And at the same time, the evil will of the world should be unaware of the existence of this path. That was because only the individuals who were outside the core of the world were told about this path. The individuals who were already living in the core area were not told about it as there was no need. That was the reason why Hana was confident that the evil danger zone would not know about it.
While going toward the special path, suddenly Rein had a question in his mind and he asked that question to Hana. He had been calling their greatest opponent the evil danger zone all this time but he was sure that this danger zone also should have a name. So he asked Hana about it.
Hearing this Hana easily told Rein the name of that danger zone. It was actually called "Nest of All Chaos". That was an impressive name and it suited this powerful and evil danger zone. So while talking about various matters, everyone continued their journey toward the Nest of All Chaos.
With Hana\'s guidance Rein had no problem finding out the entrance to this path. It was located in a completely remote area that had not been visited by anyone for who knows how long. But the area around the door looked clean and well maintained. Hana explained that at the creation of this door, it and the area around it was given the blessing of automatic cleaning. So this area would never be dirtied. That was interesting but Rein was unwilling to waste any more of his time here when he had more pressing tasks in hand. So all of them quickly entered the path.
Rein had guessed that they would be attacked by monsters as soon as they entered the gate by either ambushing troops of their enemy or by the guardians of the passage. But nothing like that happened. Hana again told him to continue the journey without worrying about such silly things and pushed him forward.
The journey through this special passage was both long and boring. But at least it was not dangerous. So they needed to just monotonously walk for almost a whole day before an exit came to their view.
Upon going out of the exit, the world of red was before everyone\'s eyes. This was not a world of blood but a world of Lava. After feeling the real temperature of the Lava, everyone was amazed how insanely hot that was. Even for Rein and Hana, they were capable of barely passing the natural super hot magma with their fire element. So making sure to not come in contact with it, Rein and his group continued the journey again.
The Nest of All Choas was not the only Danger Zone located in the core of the world. Five other unintelligent danger zones and one intelligent one was also supposed to be here. Hana was worried about that other danger zone as after the evil danger zone captured the will of the world, she had not heard anything from this danger zone.
On their way, Rein and his team actually found this danger zone. It was a beautiful city floating in the middle of the Ocean of Magma. According to Hana, this city was supposed to look majestic and beautiful but now it just looked like a dilapidated and ruined city that had seen better days.
Hana was extremely surprised by the condition of the city. She had not expected a beautiful city like that to turn into this. Seeing this Rein decided to take a little detour and visit this city like danger zone first.

Even though this city danger zone was not evil, it was also a danger zone at the end of the day, so Rein had expected to be attacked as soon as they entered it. But nothing like that happened which was very surprising. As they were walking through this city that now looked broken but was clearly demonstrating the beauty that it had once upon a time, suddenly a figure clad in black robe appeared before everyone. This figure came out of the ground here which made everyone extremely surprised and they got ready for a fight.
But this figure did not show any hostility and instead greeted Hana with respect. Seeing this Hana got curious and asked this figure about its identity. In answer, this figure answered that it was the caretaker of this divine land which was created when the will of this place fell asleep because it suffered too much damage. This caretaker had all the memories that the real will of this place had so it was able to recognise Hana.
This was a great clue as it looked like this being knew a lot about the core of the world and Rein asked it about that. The caretaker had no intention to hide anything and invited everyone to a better location to tell them about the story of how the "Golden City of Origin" fell.
