>>5442893She decides to search for the broken shards of old teleportation circles in the fifth layer of hell, the Great Sorrow sector.
All her gunpowder will be wet.
At least the gun will still work - the barrels are enchanted with gravity magic.
Her horse gallop towards the stone teleportation circle which leads to the fifth layer. Alongside her are nearly a hundred people packed into the circle, with most being fellow contractors, with each having their own means of transport.
With the circle completely brimming with people, the warden nearby tells everyone else to step away and begin charging up the portal.
Alright then, let’s go.
Purple light glows from the engravings.
They reappear in a town with mostly wooden buildings, kept above the water’s surface by pillars of human bones that somehow stick together.
Immediately, a few dozen people split off to the clubs and dueling arenas.
Around ten people begin to look around the town, searching for clues of the fragments of the circle.
The rest head to the edges of town, to search for the fragments underneath the sea of deactivated lotuses.
Rather than dive head first into a place she doesn’t know, Xil decides to spend some time around the town for more information.
…
So, there’s four fragments in total.
The first is held by an angel, north of town.
The second is held by two sea serpents, at the outskirts of town.
The third is somewhere within the hoard of deactivated lotuses, near the water’s surface.
The fourth is somewhere on the sea floor of the sector. She’ll need some kind of map to accelerate the process.
