Chapter 204 - 204.She found it, but...

The end of the day neared and as their face became paler and paler the cloud solidified and started floating in mid of them. Suddenly one after another slumped to the floor with heavy breaths.

Sirius jumped to bring everyone some water to drink as their faces were quite dried up. ''Come drink, please.''

Anita could only watch as she didn't dare to help them up in her condition. The fist was Conrad that slowly stood up and picked up others to help them back. One by one slowly rose from the floor and walked towards the main room but females actually just went to the privy. Such feeling was more important than hunger or thirst at a given moment.

Everyone left but only Isaa and Kendra stood there. Cynthia saw how Isaa put weak Kendra to sit on the cloud and pushed it up. She tried to stop her but it was too late. Her face was petrified as she saw how Kendra weakly curled up on the cloud as it went higher and higher.

Her angry eyes turned towards Isaa that had tears running down her cheeks. ''Why?!''

Her yell made everyone aware of the new situation and they rushed out. But all they could see is slowly raising cloud and few strands of white hair that slipped past it. ''Kendra...''

They looked at Isaa without understanding it. ''Why Isaa? She could have at least rested...''

Isaa shook her head. ''It was her wish. She said if she does not go on time and save the saint animal, this world will turn into a tenth level world where dangerous animals will appear and many, many things might change. She thinks that is not a basic wish of the grounding fairy. But as she knew that grounding fairy might never kook at this world again, we might end up in real wars and many bad things might happen. Very bad things.''

Sirius felt somehow strange as he remembered one time his elders saying about the tenth worlds. ''The tenth world was meant to be magical worlds of peace and safety. Not for cultivation or for killing. Just for cultivators to remember again their basic stuff and their needs. Sort of retreat for those that lived for a long time and have no further wishes. But most of the worlds would be destroyed in their early building and would turn completely waste of grounding fairy efforts. Does that mean we can loose powers?''

Everyone gasped. ''What are you talking about?''

''After every world was destroyed they made a spell over the world and everyone who is at the time of the plane destruction inside will be left inside unless some raise their powers high enough and escape. This... If the sacred animal dies and this plane turned into the tenth level world, we will be stuck in here. Forever. Not just for next couple years.'' His face became pale as he spoke.

Isaa smiled at him and nodded while her gaze went to dot on the sky that was close to the end of the shield. ''Yes. She is ready to risk her life for this world, for the saint animal and for that tiny life that is growing in you, Anita. She is willing to put her life to the border and give all to save this plane, to save all of us. So let's hope she succeed. Or her efforts might be wasted.''

Everyone nodded. They saw a small cloud passing the shield and disappearing outside while the howl of many animals could be still heard from outside. They really hoped she will survive.

Kendra sent one more whisp inside the cloud and rose higher, above clouds to gain some power from the slowly setting sun. She sat down and started cultivating until the last bits of lights shone over her and disappear on the darkened firmament.

Her eye slowly opened and she rose her hand to make a shield around her. Slowly all the blood rain disappeared from her that splashed over her body as she rose above the clouds and she started rushing towards the side where the noises ere the loudest. Towards the seaside.

Her flying made her come to the borders in a day and soon she wanted to make the journey over water but remembered that she still needs food and water to survive. So she firsts searched the ground for food and found the whole field of fruit berries but covered with a red substance, gathered as many she could use her water powers to clean them and poped one of the berries into her mouth.

She searched surroundings and found just those berries everywhere. ''Well, better something than nothing. No time to play, need to go. ''

The cloud again rose over the trees and she rushed towards the sea. Days passed and the rain didn't stop. But raging sounds of cries could b heard louder and louder. On her fifth day, she found that even fishes started swimming in the same direction she was.

Unfortunately, the voices became weaker but could be still heard. Somehow deep in her heart, she could feel that she was nearby. Suddenly, a long coastline appeared far away. Behind could be seen red smoke could be seen spreading slowly over the water from the direction of the strange mountain. For others that mountains could be scary with all those pikes, but for her, it was meant that there is the place that sacred animals actually felt safe and content. ''What idiot is trying to harm it?''

But soon she could see the most horrendous sight in her both lives. Why did this happen? It passed just couple of moths in this world, can people change this fast? Is this the reason why there were not many cultivators succeeding to survive? Because they turn into disgusting creatures?

It was clear that these creatures were not all humans as they came from other worlds as well. But the moment they changed into a human form their reasoning and nature takes over and they turn into... this.

The biggest sect that sent thousands of their cultivators that lived for hundreds of years has turned into the basic camp filled with men that captured the saint animal and cut his flesh bit by bit while it healed again after a while.

It seems the meat gave them some sort of pleasure or is it because of the fact that poor animal bled in buckets. Literally. They collected the blood and drunk it instead of water and the female cultivators couldn't be seen anywhere, what wondered Kendra greatly. She searched through the rain for any sign that females existed in the camp, but not even one could be seen.

Suddenly screams from one cave could be heard and all men turned their heads towards the sound. They grunted and slowly started moving that way. She flew fast towards the cave and whats he saw there made her almost puke...
