- Year: - ??? -

The portal made its way into the desolate desert of northern Icathia, illuminating a large portion of the wasteland before gradually fading away. After a few seconds, the portal disappeared without leaving any trace of it, leaving only one person behind.

Meiyo's POV:

''I guess that portal is better than what I achieved with my sealing technique''

Silence was what followed my words. Now, looking closely, I could see how this place is devoid of life, or at least human life.

''The whole place is corrupted by the Void, but luckily it is not moving, unlike what the old man showed me

''The whole place is corrupted by the Void, but luckily it is not moving, unlike what the old man showed me. Perhaps they currently have nothing to feed on and will continue expanding. But if I try to touch it, no matter how small it is, it will begin to consume and absorb me. Even just exposing myself can be fatal dangerous''

''Wake up from your dream, brat''

"Something wrong Kurama?"

''Don't lose your focus—we are not in a good place to let your guard down''

If the strongest Biju warns you, it may not be encouraging at all, but there is no choice but to get serious. Let's see, nothing to the north... The west and east are clear... ''Do you mean the south? If so, it must be where the capital of Icathia is located, and we still don't want to be consumed or exposed to them, so rule out the idea of going to that place... For now''

''I know, but that's not the place I'm referring to'' Thanks to the connection that exists from being a Jinchuuriki, I could easily feel, even if minimal, Kurama's fear and disgust upon grasping what is found in Icathia ''What I want you to do is expand your senses further—remember the talk with that old man—this world has more mysteries than answers. So get rid of that common sense, Meiyo''

''I got it, you know you could have said that last part at the beginning, right?'' Without waiting for the fox's response, I understand what he wanted to say with his monologue. This world is new to both of us. From the stories Zilean tells us, Runeterra is an abnormal place for any shinobi.

So, I must rule out that what I'm facing is another shinobi or a simple human. Our current enemy is from another dimension, just like us, but—unlike us—this one seeks the extinction of life...

Taking into account what surrounds us, what we understand of the Void, and its desire to corrupt everything in its path, we come to... That the aberrations may be underground... Damn! How did I not realize this before!? Even in our world they can do it! I must expand my senses beneath the earth.

It was just in time when I noticed ''Shit!'' a beast was making its way straight towards my position right below me.

''Move'' I heard Kurama say with his lazy voice.
