"A simple gesture of help."
Russell did not seek to take all the credit, merely nodding modestly.
"We need to run fast; we can't stay here long."
Strangulation didn't immediately explain to Russell what he had encountered. Instead, he forcefully pulled Russell's arm, signaling him to run quickly up the mountain.
They hadn't taken two steps before Russell saw the magma pillars gradually solidifying, and the ground around them also beginning to grow intensely hot.
"What is that?"
Russell asked loudly.
"My mentor calls these 'Pillars of Anger.' It's not just on the Path of Anger; apart from the Initial Wilderness, every area has similar 'timers.'"
Strangulation's physique was much stronger than that of a "Song Sparrow"; even as he ran swiftly, he could speak very smoothly, "A timer to reset this area."
His deep voice, almost a roar, was clear enough for Russell to hear from behind.
"The Dream Realm... isn't it... devoid of the concept of time?"
