Ancient ruins.
Under the gray ominous sky, Bai Yan’s heart suddenly sored with pain, causing her hand to instinctively clench the chest as her face turned palish white.
“Yan Yan?” Heavenly’s quickly got ugly after noticing her daughter’s chance.
First blocking the sharp claw from the monster attacking himself, he flew away to come before the woman. He’s very worried and tense in the eyes for he knows something bad must’ve happened to make this proud daughter of his to behave this way.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Giving a shake of her head: “I don’t know what’s going on, Father, we have to get out of this place as soon as possible. I feel… I feel like something very bad is happening in which we can’t see.”
Something bad?
The man wanted to ask for more details to get to the bottom of this but quickly tossed the idea aside. He could see they don’t have the spare time since the hordes of monsters were already attacking again. What’s more, the crack in the sky was letting more and more of these things through, which only emphasized the dangerous situation they are in.
Biting his teeth: “Sweetie, you leave first, I will draw the attention of these monsters.”
Originally he wanted to kill the leading creature that’s on equal footing to his own first, but now it’s apparent the plan needs to change.
Naturally, the demon queen wouldn’t just leave her own father behind to deal with this horde, but right now the ominous sensation was killing her inside. She’s certain something must’ve happened to Ling Yan, perhaps something terrible. Just imagining that possibility was enough to drive her insane!
“Father, I will definitely come back and help you!”
When she finds Ling Yan, she would definitely return.
“Go with confidence, I’ll be all right.”
Heavenly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he raised his palm towards the sky. In a roaring boom, a wall of earth promptly rose from the ground and cut the horde off from Bai Yan’s spot.
As someone who used the earthen wall, the guy naturally stayed on the other side to act as a shield.
“What are you waiting for?!” Seeing how Bai Yan was not moving, the man wrinkled his brow and yelled.
As painful as it was, the demon queen finally relented and began to rise into the air for the crack.
……
The mood only got more oppressive the closer she got to the crack. Then suddenly, right before she could make it through the monsters blocking her way, a pillar of fire shot out at her from above. In her haste, the demon queen only knew to dodge to one side and narrowly avoided the fire.
But she couldn’t catch her breath though. More and more flames were coming at her in sequence. Whip after whip, blast after blast, this was no better than fighting the monsters on the ground.
“Ling Yan is still waiting for me, I have to leave this place right now!” Growing firm in the face, she ignores the danger of taking a direct hit and plowed right through it all with a giant release of her full might.
She could see it now once she’s inside that crack. There’s darkness, but there’s also a brightness at the end….
Hope, that was the word she thought of at the whiteness. Whatever worry she had swiftly evaporated for she knew she’s guessed right.
Without incident, she was back, directly standing atop of the wooden bridge like she was never gone in the first place. It’s a strange feeling. One second she’s flying through a dark void inside the crack, the next she’s simply standing here like she’s come out of a daze.
I’m out?
Did I really leave that place?
What’s going on here? Did I just get teleported back or was it all a dream? It’s so calm here like the time I spent fighting with Father is a dream I made up….
