"I don't think it's as easy as it looks but I want to go so we can prepare better for our enemies..." Rio said with a feeble smile, his eyes flickering with unwavering resolve.
As he gave his response, they all moved their eyes to the person who showed her refusal previously to go.
Nyla gave a forced smile and said, "Since they are going I will join them too..."
The magenta-haired beauty also showed her desire as she wanted to accompany her sweetheart to the unknown place and didn't want to leave him alone.
"Good, Kids. Be ready now. I will send you three in a minute to the location where you can find the first piece of the map for the Forbidden Land. If anyone of you wants to come out of this place before finding the Exalted Clover Ring you just have to say 'I give up'. One more thing, To Find the first part you just have to go to the very east." The statue's voice spoke to them and even gave them a hint to find the first piece of the map.
Hearing the man's announcement, The trio were delighted as they had received a hint related to the item they had to find.
However, they were unaware of the fact that it was still going to be a hellish journey on the other side. They didn't know what dangerous hurdles and desperation they were going to face.
As the Man gave them one minute to prepare, Lia moved to hug them, one by one as she knew they might take a long time to return.
When it was Rio's turn, he embraced her in a warm hug, and said, "Don't worry Wifey. We will be alright."
The boy could see the worry in her eyes as she was concerned about them, especially for him.
Lia mumbled, "Come back safely, I will pray for all of you and Take care."
The boy nodded, ruffling her white silky hair as they separated.
The statue's light grew brighter, enveloping the trio and the white-haired beauty in a blinding light. When the light dissipated, Lia found she was back in the battle arena in the oval-shaped building.
"They have gone...Hope they return safely..." The girl prayed to heaven for their safety as she was worried for all of them.

As the white light engulfed them, they felt like they were sucked into a space rift and thrown on the ground.
Rio landed perfectly, keeping his balance as he saw the surrounding had already changed...
The boy's eyes welcomed a bright light coming from the sun and a sea of sand that was endlessly expanded to a very far away distance as far as he could see.
The sky was a deep, cloudless blue, and the sun seemed to hang low in the sky, casting a harsh scorching light on the barren landscape filled with sand dunes.
"Eh... It's hot here."
Soon he heard the voice of Nyla from behind him as she complained about the unbearable warm weather...
He could feel the scorching sun beating down on him mercilessly. The sand was hot underfoot, burning his shoes as he could feel the heat radiating from the ground.
Rio turned around to find both girls standing nearby and their faces were plastered with annoyance.
Their skin was already starting to turn red from sunburn, and they were desiring to find some shade to hide...
"This is worse than I expected. I can not summon any beast soul and feel rather weak here for some reason." Helia spoke, as she inspected their situation and monitored the area around them...
They were in the midst of an endless desert, with a scorching sun on their head which was making it hard for them to stay.
Hearing her voice, he also noticed he was feeling weak.
'Let me check if it works to show any abnormality.'
The boy used [Heaven's Eyes] on Helia which didn't show her stats before coming here.
<<<<
[User: Helia Rainheart]
[Race: Asura]
[Innate Rank: A]
[Root: Red]
[MANA: 0]
[Physical Power: 10 + 0]
[Innate stats: 10]
[White: 0]
[Yellow: 0]
[Purple: 0]
[Black: 0]
[Red: 0]

'This strange place has stripped us of our cultivated strength. I'm able to view her attributes because her power is completely reduced to 0 except for the innate stats.'
He moved to check his and Nyla's stats and got the same weakened result.
<<<<
[User: Nyla Mailon]
[Race: Human]
[Innate Rank: A]
[Root: Purple]
[MANA: 0]
[Physical Power: 10 + 0]
[Innate stats: 10]
[Yellow: 0]
[Purple: 0]
>>>>
'This place has greatly weakened us all to the same level.'
They all had identical stats points and zero mana as they were all weakened here almost completely. One thing that Rio noticed was that both girls had innate talent rank A but this wasn't the time to focus on that.
"This place has diminished my stats points and reduced all of them to zero. Right now, I only have 10 innate stats points and zero mana. Probably this happened to all of us." The boy announced the reason why they were feeling weak.
"How do you know?" Helia asked, scrunching her eyebrows.
He shrugged and started thinking of a better plan to tackle their current situation.
"My stats points are also zero," Nyla said, confirming Rio's claim.
"We don't have so much time to waste. We need to keep moving towards the east or we will get cooked here alive," Rio said in a grave tone, as he decided to travel from their current location.
"This place is annoyingly hot. My skin's burning" Nyla complained as this warm place was irritating her skin.
"You're right, we need to escape from this place. Let's go." Helia showed her agreement as she started going towards the east.
