207 Thousand Life Petal Flower

'My agent number is 0311, and I am only a small time recruit of Peak Celestial level strength, compared to others I am merely a small timer, as such I have been posted here to keep an eye for when young Prince returns from his trip inside the Hidden Space and accordingly inform Aonia, but currently there are rumors of some Immortal level Demonic cultivators trying to destroy the Hidden Space, even with all my strength I am not forcefully able to enter the hidden space but if others arrive they may be.'

With that thought the figure send an emergency message back to Aonia, 'Immortal Demonic intruders Prince in mortal danger.'

The figure did not have to wait for long as a group of 3 appeared beside the figure as the one in the front spoke gruffly, "Report".

0311 gulped hard the person in front of him is none other than the one of the four Commanders of 'Wojownik Cienia', just below the Supreme Commander Her Highness 'Shamiran', as such he kneeled down as he spoke, "Sir, the people who have entered are all exiting currently in panic apparently there has been a sighting of Demonic Immortal cultivators who are fighting someone, I am not strong enough to forcibly enter the Hidden Space as such I send an urgent message."

The person merely grunted in acknowledgement as his focus turned towards the Hidden Space as he spoke, "We are breaking in."

Meanwhile inside the Nether realm Grotto, Aliyah and Alhma had managed to find eachother, thye hugged each other as they collapsed on the ground in fear.

Alhma: "What was that humongous explosion? It was so scaring it is too close to the entrance."

Aliyah nodded as she spoke fearfully, "Yes sister, but what about Ryuu? Did he die?"

Alhma spoke her voice quivering in sadness, "He promised he would not."

Aliyah gulped as she gathered her courage as she spoke, "We cannot idle around we have to check on him."

Alhma spoke in anger, "Are you out of your mind what if we get killed out there we should run from here."

Aliyah glared at her twin as she hissed at her, "If you want to you may run, but I am not, if not for him we would be dead as such I am not leaving without him.", with that she flew towards where the large explosion occurred.

Alhma cursed at her sister's stubbornness as she followed her, "Hey wait for me and remember if something happens it is on you."

As they made their way towards the center of the explosion they were greeted by large miles upon miles of scorched earth with no living beings in sight except still smoking trees.

Aliyah grasped Alhma's hand as she spoke, "What kind of devastation is this? Do not tell me Ryuu used some form of suicidal attack on them."

As they went further in molten rocks became a common site, they gulped suddenly to them the amount of destruction seemed unreal, suddenly Alhma shouted out, "Look over there it seems that burnt corpses are lying around."

As they looked the place their heart almost leaped out of their throat, as a single thought ran to the mind, 'Where is Ryuu?'

They neared the epic center of the blast as they were greeted by a heavily injured person lying on the ground barely alive they landed near the person cautiously as the checked for any hidden traps, the person was lying face down having not only bad burns but there were multiple wounds even his left arm seemed to be missing , they turned him around only to get gasp out loudly in shock seeing the blood covered Ryuu's face full of cuts and bruises, his chest seemed to have collapsed and breathing was slowing down with time.

Aliyah: "Sister please help me carry him."

With the help of his sister she somehow managed to pick Ryuu up in a princess carry as they ran towards the entrance as fast as possible.

Meanwhile a few kilometers away from the entrance a group of cultivators stepped out from their hiding place behind a few rocks as they looked towards the place where the cataclysm took place, a black cloud was still present on top of it, as the smell of burnt earth came to their nose.

Allan: "Let us get out of here fast I do not wish to get caught in cataclysm, I pity those who get caught in that."

Aliyah and Alhma never moved so fast they squeezed every drop of their KI to propel them as fast as possible, as they moved Aliyah simply looked at Ryuu being so closed to him she could feel his breathing was getting slower as well as his heart beat tears appeared in her eyes, "Ryuu do not give up we are almost there, you will be safe.", her heart lurched at that seeing Ryuu in such a condition he was less than half her age yet he had suffered so much trying to save them it was too much for either of them.

Her dress was progressively getting coated with blood but she did not care about it, the speed with which they travel was like a blur to others as they neared the entrance they were greeted with a large chaos two groups seemed to have been fighting on who would get out first and what not preventing others from leaving.

Aliyah greeted her teeth as she spoke, "Alhma clear a path."

Alhma nodded as she released her KI along with her aura as she shouted at the top of her, "Move or Die."

Only for the sky just above the entrance to suddenly develop cracks as it broke like glass, a couple of figures hidden by cloak and mask entered, no sooner did they enter they glanced at the people below who were frozen at their sight the figures sight suddenly had fallen on the Ryuu's group causing Aliyah and Alhma's eyes to widen in fear but before they could react, couple of figure arrived in front of them and in a blink of eye they disappeared with the entire group, the crack on the sky started closing but not before the entire hidden space shook a bit as if showing its displeasure. The sudden turn of events mad the other people not only more impatient but scared as such as they tried to move trampling others in their path.

Meanwhile back in Ayindril,

Veenawas conducting a class on 'Alchemy', it was a habit of theirs where they would sometimes help out with any form of doubts or any problem the alchemist of Ayindril was facing, even Ryuu had attend a couple of classes, but unlike Ryuu whom they considered him as their disciple this session was more like a general lecture which they gave out.

Veena was giving such a lecture when her eyes went wide as she stopped speaking with a wave of her hand a flowering plant appeared incased in a glass jar, the was none other than 'Thousand Life Petal Flower', a special type of flower that can be tied with someone's life force, when a person is brimming with life the short plant has a giant camellia with a thousand petals blooming on top of it with a slight pinkish hue. But if the person suffers some form of injury or some form of sickness it even affects the flower, such as now it seemed to have taken a rather black color with rotten appearance as the petals were falling rapidly.

One of the people who were listening to one of her lectures suddenly spoke, "Eh is it not the 'Thousand Life Petal Flower', if it has taken these form then…."

He was unable to finish his speech his speech as Veena teleported out of the place as she appeared in front of the others no word was needed to be said as Maheswara teleported his wives and himself to Aonia.

While back in Aonia, Ryuu was literally taken from Aliyah's hands before the twin could say anything as he was taken away inside a room, while they themselves found being forced to sit on a couple of chairs as incredible powerful people were guarding them causing them to shake with fear.

One of the mask man gave order to one of his men, "Someone send a emergency message to .."

Only for him to stop as he took out his weapon as a couple of figures appeared, the people there dropped on their knees as they greeted in unison, "Long live your Holiness."

Maheswara did not have any time for such frivolous activities as he ordered, "Everyone go back to your work, but how is Ryuu?"

The man who was giving out orders bowed as he spoke, "From diagnosis we have found Prince to have suffered from fractured bones in his legs, hip, and femur, his spinal column is broken in three places, as well as majority of his ribs have fractured and his skull is fractured. His skin is showing 2nd degree burn, his spirit veins and branches are damaged as his cultivation level had fallen from Peak Void Immortal Realm to 5th rank Void Immortal Realm indicating usage of forbidden technique, internally his left lung and stomach have been punctured, and his right kidney is completely destroyed. There is multiple weapon wounds in his bodies including some weapon fragments still lodged in side his body. Moreover his left arm seems to have been cut off by some sharp object."

Upon hearing this everyone's eyes widen as Veena quickly dashed inside the room cursing, Nuwa almost fell on the floor if it were not for Maheswara holding her quickly, in all Ryuu should have been dead by now if he were any ordinary human being, he was only alive because of the tenacious life force of being a cultivator as well as having a very top tier Divine body.

Celestia spoke with anger evident in her voice, "How did it happen?"

The masked person spoke without emotionlessly, "We are not sure of the details as such we have brought these two women, when we arrived there we found them desperately trying to take Prince out of the hidden space."

At that Ryuu's teachers eyes fell on the twins who wanted nothing but to hide somewhere far away from them, the aura around each person was making it difficult for them to even breath.
