203 The Chase Part-2

"Allan are you alright? You seemed to have spaced out a little bit.", asked a black hair beauty.

Allan just shook his head as he spoke, "Nothing much, I was just thinking about those people we saw a few days ago."

The woman's face scrunched up in confusion before her eyes widen as she exclaimed, "You mean those super strong cultivators right."

Allan simply nodded as he spoke, "Yes Euphemia, just thinking about them makes my blood boil, the way they entered this place like a king, although they are of our age group yet they are so strong."

Euphemia: "Yes, I too envy them I do not know from where and which place they have arrive but their presence is simply unfair, they are so strong."

Another voice spoke in an condescending tone, "hmp, those guys are nothing the only reason they are strong is because the family that they are born having feeding them precious medicines left and right, if I were in there place I would have been an Immortal by now."

"Yeah yeah we get it Mister I-would-be-immortal-by-now Norman, but luck is also a part of cultivator's strength."

Norman looked at the person another woman as he raised his finger comically as he shouted, "You evil woman since when did you become so wise and who did you rip off for that philosophical speech you put together."

Before the woman could retort a loud feminine voice sounded in their ears, "Nether Realm Grotto is no longer safe, demonic cultivators have sneaked in and have triggered a destruction sequence that will destroy the entire hidden space within an hour, I repeat Nether real….."

As they heard the sound they saw a woman flying high up in the air announcing a few more times before she moved at a blinding speed from that place.

Allan spoke fearfully "One hour even if we use full force to escape we are will barely make it."

Euphemia: "That woman was she not one of those stronger ones, and what did she mean by that."

Norman scoffed at that as he spoke, "tch, ruse simple ruse to get others out so that they can loot all those resources themselves."

Euphemia: "And what if they are right and it is really the work of some demon cultivators."

Allan: "I believe we should play safe, we should move towards the entrance even if there is a chance we might lose the resources but at least not our lives."

Norman was about to argue with them but was unfortunately was stopped by a large explosion as the gigantic fire was seen in the horizon, even if it was at such a great distance away from them the killing intent and the amount of KI made their skin to shiver out of fear.

Euphemia: "W- we s-sho-should run."

They did not need to be told twice before they began running as fast as possible.

Meanwhile Aliyah did not have as much luck as her twin she gritted her teeth as she dodged another volley of arrows, as the group of fools wolf whistled at her calling her many degrading names, 'I refuse to help scum like this.', suffering from so much mental pressure snapped something in her she moved so fast that she seemed to disappeared from their view and reappeared in front of them and then their whole world erupted in pain. She left their bleeding and broken bodies to die a very agonizing death.

As the twins left they glanced back with worry visible in their eyes as they gritted their teeth as their eyes became red out of helplessness while glancing towards the horizon, they watched helplessly cursing their weakness, after all they had left a boy less than half their age behind so that they might make their escape.

The sisters steeled their hearts before they began to warn others to evacuate as fast as possible while at the same time they were slowly making their way towards the entrance as a single thought ran through their minds, 'Ryuu you better not die, we will not be able to forgive ourselves if you fall today.'

Ryuu stared in front of him he glared at the people floating in the air in front of him, he was bleeding from his head his armor looking worse for wear, he glared extra hard at the grinning woman who was standing the furthest away from everyone even from her own comrades who was grinning mockingly towards him, suddenly dozens of beings from various genders and races attacked him from all sides, as his mind went back to the events which occurred a few minutes prior to his current predicament.

An hour ago the trio was moving fast towards the entrance, as Aliyah gave a small sigh of relief, "We made it just an hour from here and we will be safe."

Alhma: "So true sister, I am happy they never found about us, and Ryuu you really are a genius for thinking out a plan for helping us escape from the certain death.", she gave a grateful smile towards Ryuu.

But Ryuu did not share the same line of thought as the twins he turned back at them as he glared, "Why are you two slowing down if you have time to be happy then move fast, the only safe place is outside this wretched place so move."

The twins were taken aback at the sudden anger in his voice as they spoke, "What happened to you, Ryuu why are you shouting at us?"

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Sorry I was just a bit stressed out but we should focus on escaping to safety then we may celebrate, what if they have some sort of flying machine and they use that to catch up to us."

AS such the twins sighed before they began increasing their decreased speed as the ate a KI replenishing pill, travelling so fast required so much KI that they required to consume some pills to replenish their KI.

Ryuu sighed before he casually turned his head back as he was gritted with a sight that cause his eyes to widen, a large group consisting of humans, demons and various assortment of animals gaining on them fast, at current pace they will never make it, as they group chasing them will catch up to them within the next few minutes, he narrowed his eyes as one of the chasers a woman waved back at him as if he was a long lost acquaintance of hers.

Ryuu sighed as he thought, 'What an unlucky situations, if only this two girls were a little bit faster but alas they are already at their limit being held down by their low level if it were only him he would have already made it outside the hidden space, in fact if he ditches them and makes a run for it then he could reach the outside within minutes instead of an hour, but I will not be able to face my teachers, my mother, my sisters, tch I would not be look into the eyes of my reflection staring back at me from a mirror, me and my bleeding heart.'

Ryuu let out a big breath as he spoke, "Girls listen to me carefully, at the current speed we will get caught soon."

The twins looked at him with disbelief as they glanced back their eyes wide opened as fear gripped their heart.

Ryuu barked out an order, "Stop looking back and focus on my orders."

The twins looked forward their eyes full of fear and desperation as they gave their all to squeeze out whatever strength they had to move faster, they knew if they are caught a fate worse than death will occur.

Ryuu: "There is no way we will make it at our current speed as such you two continue moving forward, warn as many as you can but most importantly make sure you two make out of this place without waiting for others including myself and now go do not look back."

With that Ryuu gave them a pat on their back they wanted to protest but they knew at their current strength they will be a liability, as such with helplessness they shouted out, "Ryuu promise us you will get out of here alive, promise us you will be safe."

Ryuu flashed a smile at them as he spoke, "I will I promise now move and no matter what you hear do not turn back and do not look back."

Ryuu slowed before he came to a standstill before he turned facing the enemy with his sword in his hands, he removed the necklace that was on his neck so as to prevent any interference it might run with his divine body, he sighed as he raised his sword to his eye level before he kissed it gently as if it were his lover as he whispered lovingly to it, "Let us do it partner, you and me against all of them, let this be the day our saga begins which trembles the world."

He swung his sword as if trying to send an invitation to the enemies taunting them as his eyes blazed with fury as hundreds of enemies descended upon him.
