Dante left the Supreme Martial Hall and entered the city. For the first time since he had entered the True Martial World, he casually strolled to the city gates and actually exited. The gates were guarded by city guards who were at the Martial Warrior realm, demonstrating the strength of the City Lord's Mansion.
Once outside, Dante realized that there was a large radius of plains and grasslands around the city, not because it was naturally so, but for two reasons. Firstly, the lumber used to build most of the buildings in the city was harvested from nearby, and secondly, no city allowed forests within a large margin of its territory because armies and bandits could potentially hide in them.
As soon as Dante was sufficiently far from the city, he broke into a wild sprint that picked up speed as he went. Dante careened through forests, ran over bodies of water, and surged through rocky mountains head-on like an unstoppable force.
