86 Parting with Wifey out of Love

Iiana open her mouth before they felt the oppresive aura throbbing around them.

"IIANAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shout a man.

Her face was comically funny, as it changed from no emotion whatsoever to a kid got caught red handedly taking a cookie out from the jar. Her eyes wildly look around, as if trying to find a good hiding spot. What's more entertaining the most was, Lord Arya was acting the same. He already erected the ice barrier around them, in his panicking mode, before a red mist that turn into sharp spears penetrated the barrier like butter. It happened in a split of a second just when the ice barrier surround them safely.

Arya almost had his heart stopped right there, he was sticking close to the barrier right at the very back, as one of the spear almost hit his chest. He know that it was intended that way.

The red mist was like an acid that melt the whole barrier into a puddle of water.

Lo and behold, a figure accompanied by three shadow ninja behind him standing tall and regal. A man with white hair, like the full moon that glisten beautifully and could ruin a whole kingdom with his drop dead handsome face.

"Kuro" a low gasp escape From Iiana lips. Kuro lift his point finger and point at Rolen, and Arya. Something appeared below their feet, a bright red light and Arya face paled, as if he had seen a ghost.

"No!!!!! Anywhere but there-" the light swallowed both of them down and they were gone in instant.

"W-where did they go?"

Kuro was smiling, but really she knew that smile was anything but a happy one. That little bit tilt at the corner of his lips was enough give away that he was super pissed.

"Wifey.."

He took few step forward and then look at Iiana from top to bottom, as if to assess her well being.

"You like to run around and hurt yourself. I thought we already agree to avoid things like this?"

"Yes, but you know I went to find them!" She threw both of her arms up. "And I found them"

"You did. And I expect you could just grab them and go. Be done with it."

He didn't need to add more to that. Iiana could almost read between the line.

'Why do I have to prolong it and go into the fight?' That would probably what her husband would ask.

"I will take care of our son. But you wifey, are glutton for a punishment. Since my wifey love to hurt herself and join into a fight, then I as your husband shall grant your wish."

Then the light flashed below her feet. Upon seeing it closer, she could see glyph writing on the floor in pentagon shape.

Kuro look at Iiana straight and he raised his hand. His finger gently touch her face with a somber look.

And just like that, bright light swallowed iiana into a never ending void until it was too much, she fell unconscious inside the red limbo.

"I-is that okay, my Lord?" Asked one of the shadow. He was the one who was almost stabbed by his Lord's mistresses artificial thorn roots.

"Ru Ing, do you think I did wrong by sending her there?"

"I... she is your wife.. and that place.." Ru ing shuddered. That place was where every one of them was trained at least once. The scariest part was it had many layers. The best of them could overcome the third one and couldn't passed to the forth one. It was.. beyond insanity and monstrous. And his Lord personally sent his beloved wife to that place.

"...do you not love your wife?" The shadow ask in hesitance.

Kuro sighed.

"It is precisely because I love her, I have to teach her to be stronger.. for my sake. I will not stay in this world, if she is no longer by my side"

That simple notion was enough to make Ru ing breath stop. His master had basically declared that the mistress was his sole reason to live and sole weaknesses he had. Which is why he began to see, why his Lord and master had sent her 'there'.

"But nothing could be said the same for the other two. Arya can take care of himself. While that boy.. we'll see if he could survive it. Follow the boy and watch him. If he is an inch from his life, bring him back." Kuro throw two jade tokens to the shadow. One of the jade was written in ancient word 'In' and the the other jade plated with gold written 'out'. The only free two way ticket to his Lord secret underworld dungeon world.

"lord Arya?"

"Leave him be. That ought to teach that bastard some sense. It wouldn't be like this if he didn't play around too much."

Kuro gaze the spot where his wifey had stood a few minutes ago. His heart wrenched with pain but he knows what he did was for the best. Though... it wasn't easy to say the least.. they finally had consummate but in the end, for their long lasting love.. he must do what is right. But doing the right thing, none dare to say that it was easy.

*************

When Iiana open her eyes, she saw a world that was tinted in red.. and black ground. Even the dead tree was black. It was almost like a setting for game or a painting and totally out of the world. It almost seems like a dream...

Psshhhhhhh. Something dripped from the top and fall to her arm. It sizzled and burned her skin and she help in pain and surprise. She look above and something that look like a shadow snake bone had two red orbs acting as it's eyes looking at her with menacing gaze.

"No. This is sure as hell not a dream"she covered her skin and hissed as she see the little drop had made uneven hole on her arm. She swear she could see her muscles and slight white bones.

She look at the snake bone and shot it with fireball. The snake used its tail to deflect it, and that made her clicked her tongue. To be honest, that surprised her a bit. The snake seems to have some intelligence in its boney head.

"Then, I just have to fight it like I'm fighting a human then." Its a new place and since her mana was still lock because of that stupid god's a quest to act as a lock on her unlimited mana , she had to conserved her mana energy. Though, that is not really what worries her the most since her mana was fast enough to replenish itself with enough rest. What worried her was this place and the unknown that lies within it. Your ordinary snake, well in the new world she was reborned to, should be easy to deal with. If a snake have some sort of intelligence it in mixed with instinct and malice, wouldn't that basically be a cluster f*ck? Just imagine all kind of animal that might-

Her heart stops and almost went to her throat. Every fiber of her being just froze as she seems to catch a glimpse of something beyond scary. Her brain didn't dare to accept nor even process it. So in the end she quickly averted her gaze and look back at the snake. Yes. Looking at that inky black snake was much better than what just she saw.

But nevertheless, it didn't change the fact that her body was on high alert. All her hairs stood up, almost like a cat on its edge with its fur stood up straight. She had a sudden boost of energy to finish the snake as fast as she can and find the way out from this place.

She concentrate hard enough and bought out her aura extension that 'slither' silently out toward the snake before catching it. And with a strong enough force, the aura crush the black shadow snake and it crumbled into thousand speck of dust. Another reminder on how easy life could be snuff out from you. Though, can that creature be count as a living creature?

She sighed and tried to look away from the direction that she wished to ignore. Her heart still trembled and wish not to see it. She hope that it wasn't what she thought it is because if it is.. all her hair stood up.
