202 The Chase Part-1

The trio ran as fast as possible trying to put as much distance between themselves and the prison.

Ryuu: "A few more miles we have already put a little under a 200 kilometers between us and the prison, just a couple of kilometers more and we could take to the sky. Then it is only a few thousand kilometers trek from here, I know it will be a strain on you guys but please try to fly as fast as possible. I believe if we give it out all we would be reaching the entrance of Nether realm grotto within 10 hours."

Aliyah grunted as she spoke, "We will try our best Daoist Brother, but we would like to apologize for the inconvenience we are causing because of our weakness."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "There is no need to apologize to anyone, and we were just unlucky that we got caught in such a bad situation and as for your weakness please you two are plenty strong."

Alhma spoek with a bit of depression, "But still if you were alone by yourself you would have already made it near the exit by now."

Ryuu: "May be, may be not but one thing I know that without any of your help we would not have made so far, and as for getting out of here if push comes to shove we will simply drag them down to our playing ground. ", he finished with a devilish smirk, causing his teammates eyes to widen before they shared one of their own.

As they raced towards the exit, unknown to them a pair of eyes caught them in their sight.

Meanwhile back at the prison a masked person smiled as he spoke, "I think I might have found them."

Another person came towards him as he spoke, "Oh and where are those rats hiding?"

The masked person, "They have already left the prison it seems, one of my animals roaming outside detected them, and from what I learned from lip reading they are the ones we are seeking they have a head start of a thousand kilometers by now on foot."

The woman who had suggested that they were the one who would hunt Ryuu's group stepped forward as she licked her lips as she spoke seductively, "My what a delicious looking guy, I wish to taste him."

The masked man laughed loudly as he spoke, "Oh well you can taste him after all you prefer dead over the living."

The woman just smirked as she spoke, "So who are you sending after them, Rolgonath."

The masked man or hi real name Rolgonath smirked as he spoke, "Well my flock of Yatagarasu are nearby and my babies need fresh food."

The other person beside him spoke, "Oh and what about the other animals?"

The person shrugged as he spoke, "Well most are far away and even if they have speed to catch up to them, there is no need for them my birds are enough it is not that this children could fly."

The group was making a good progress as they ran fast across the waste lands, until Ryuu watched in alarm at the familiar flock of birds coming towards them at break neck speed.

Ryuu: "Damn of all things this infernal birds had to make an appearance."

Aliyah spoke her voice filled with concern, "Ryuu!!!!"

Ryuu gnashed his teeth as he spoke, "I know I would have preferred not to use it as it might draw unnecessary attentions to us but there is no other choice it seems. Girls we will try to reach trap number 31"

The twins nodded at his words as they turned slightly from their course and started moving towards a certain direction.

Aliyah: "Those birds are approaching fast we will not make it."

Ryuu gritted his teeth as he spoke, "We will absolutely make it", he took out a couple of talismans as he threw them towards the approaching flock of birds as a blackish smoke engulfed the flock like a cloud as lightning flashes could be seen inside the fog."

Ryuu: "It will buy us some much needed time now move there is only a kilometer left between us and 31."

The fog managed to stop the flock by disorienting them as well as killing a few off them with lightning style for a few minutes but alas it only bought a few precious seconds, as Rolgonath had began remotely controlling them. But it was enough for them to enter what looked like a cave, to Rolgonath it looked cute three rats trying to hide from he felt intense amusement as he saw the male within the group trying to close the mouth of the cave using the boulder and failing he had only been able to move it partly and his flock was almost over him.

Ryuu saw the flock to close he gave up pulling the boulder as he ran inside.

"tch, Rolgonath what a weakling I thought there might be something special about him since he ventured out this far but he is a weakling just have him killed I have no use for someone as weak as him.", the woman spoke in irritation."

Rolgonath just laughed as he spoke, "oh well it is time to feed my children go ahead."

As the entire flock of Yatagarasu entered the cave, the boulder suddenly closed the outside path as an array activated from cave entrance, the birds did not have to travel far as Rolgonath he was greeted by the sight of another opening meaning the place was not a cave but a tunnel, as the birds neared the other entrance of the tunnel an array sprung up trapping them and before Rolgonath could react a vicious array created by Ryuu activated a fire so hot that it was comparable to a star's heat hit the flock burning them to ashes within a few minutes.

The trio monitoring the group was stunned before the woman and the other man burst out in laughter seeing Rolgonath's failure causing him to now grind his teeth hard before flaring his aura and KI as he shouted out at his companions, "Shut the hell up befor…"

Whatever he was going to say was stopped in his mouth was stopped as a scythe appeared near his neck as the woman spoke in a sweet tone, "Before what Rolgonath, you are the weakest amongst us only at peak Void Immortal level where as I am a peak Immortal Level do not make a threat you cannot follow up to."

Rolgonath gulped hard at that, the woman then spoke with a smirk, "Well since they are so crafty I think it is time for me to personally chase them.", with that she started leaving.

The other person turned as he spoke, "Wait lady Urilrahne, I will follow you coupling up inside this area is boring, what do you say brother would you like to follow us."

Rolgonath sighed as he spoke, "I would and I think the other two would as well I have already sent a message for them when we spotted them first."

"Well seems like we have arrived fast enough to see certain dumbass loose the prey.", came the voice of another female.

Rolgonath gritted his teeth as he swallowed the insult he knew he was the weakest and each of them had enough strength to crush him like a bug whenever they want to.

Meanwhile with the trio, as soon as they had entered the tunnel Ryuu had ordered them to start flying instead of running and take to the skies, while he had stayed behind to activate those arrays.

As Ryuu caught up to his teammates he spoke, "Keep this speed up, and we will reach the destination within the period of time, I hope we are far away from them to prevent them from feeling our KI if we use any strong movement skills but at the same time we have to be cautious we do not know how many are there neither their strength and weakness we can assume that even after sneaking so far we might have someone tracking us so keep an eye out for anything unusual."

Aliyah nodded as she bit her lips, "How did those people enter this hidden space, last time I checked only those who are below 40 may enter this place so are those people below forty?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Daoist sister how much do you know about realms?"

Aliyah looked puzzled as she spoke, "Well to be honest we know nothing."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Well our universe was one giant real known as Pangea, a huge event caused it to break into numerous realms some big some small amongst them three major realms which are not only the biggest but the most resource abundant, the three realms are known as Preta Lok, Manushya Lok and the Deva Lok. ", he took a deep breath as he continued, "Those demons are residents of Preta Lok and this place is what one would call a conduit or a bridge between two realms one of which is the Preta Lok, the home of those demons, they had entered from that side of the bridge."

The twins gulped as they wordlessly flew at break neck speed along with Ryuu towards the entrance of the conduit as fast as possible.
