Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren and Fernando soon stepped into the Archean mountain.

The sun colored the sky with a crimson glow, as numerous grains of sand bathed the area in a golden shine.

The ancient relic of the Archean Age had not changed one bit, although it felt more depressing than before.

Even so, Fernando felt no qualms approaching it, a nostalgic mood swirling in him.

"This is so weird!" he sighed, inhaling the musty air around them and letting it go with a forceful hush. "I was alone in the world of the Archean Age, but I still can't help but miss it. It's been a long time since I have left that place."

"Ha-ha, that's human nature. We, humans, are sentimental beings after all," Darren remarked with a small smile.

"Perhaps, you are right. But if we can go back to the Archean Age this time, I think I will never come back to the Primitive Wilderness again. It is my destiny to die in the Archean world," Fernando murmured dejectedly.

Darren glared at him and asked, "When did you become so afraid of death?"

"Nonsense! I'm always afraid of death, okay?"
