Derik and Lucien kept heading south after their battle with the ant colony. Thanks to their immense power and the nature of their abilities, they didn't incur much damage or losses. They walked at a fast pace and for some reason, none dared to take to the skies for this journey. Lucien didn't know why Derik advised against it but since he trusts Derik it didn't bother him at all.
Even on foot, the duo was extremely fast, covering a large distance just in one day. That night, they set up camp in an open field with a campfire placed at the center of the two tents. Playing with the fire, Derik occasionally threw his hand in and let it burn him till his skin is filled with blisters before pulling it out and watching his injuries heal.
"Do you really feel no pain?" Lucien asked as he gazed at Derik with a complicated look on his face.
