"What the fuck!" Devon exclaimed, glaring at the donkey in front of him.
While Devon was out of the ominous cave, he was still in the ominous world. The portal which Devon had created earlier didn't lead back to the underground world, instead, it led to that forest that he was in earlier.
Devon could have formed a portal leading back to the underground world, but he chose not to because once he obtained a hundred droplets of blood essences from the beasts he knew the next phase instantly.
And he preferred to deal with it in this place than to head back to the underground world.
It was Devon's mind telling him that the moment he steps foot into the underground world, his whole world would change. And things which he was completely oblivious to would be brought out to him.
