Chapter 339 Out Of The Rift
Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead as his facial features broke down in horror. His hands trembled and his eyes were widened like they had seen a mighty terror.
This was the first time Northern was seeing this kind of expression on Sura's face.
He wasn't even this scared when he made mention of the Tyrant from before.
"You have no idea what you have done!!" He shouted at Northern.
Who in response did not really care.
All that went about Northern's mind was that he had the rift core in his hand; finally, they could get out.
He was also very happy that he didn't seem to have spent so long compared to the last time he was in a rift.
He looked at the core in his hand for a couple of seconds and raised his head to Sura, who refused to undo his Frostbite Reflection but was trembling seriously.
That reflective defense was the only thing stopping Northern from getting him.
And Northern wanted to get him so badly.
Raven took a step closer to him and placed her hands on his arm.
"Let's get out of here."
Northern turned his head to her and gave a small smile.
Then he returned his gaze to Sura and said:
"Goodbye Sura."
He crushed the core with his hands.
[Congratulations]
[You have destroyed the rift's core]
[You have accomplished some incredible feats]
[You alone decimated over three thousand monsters of the rift]
[What an outstanding feat that is]
[You defeated a creature of the underworld]
[Your effort will not go unnoticed]
[Your soul evolved]
[The furnace of forge grows ever stronger in your soul, forging the Chaos and Void into oneness with you]
[You shall gain talent fragments for these points]
[You have gained +100 talent fragments]
He sighted the rest of the notification panel.
[Rift has been swallowed by Limitless Void]
[The area of Limitless Void has grown]
[Some new features have been unlocked for the Limitless Void]
[Make sure to explore them later]
Northern glanced at the dead girl and looked in the direction where he had thrown Ulzred's body into the river of lava.
Then he turned back with a heavy heart and walked towards the portal.
Corpse Eater and Koll had long returned to the embrace of his Void, so he walked alone with Raven and entered into the portal...
...Coming out in the swampy forest.
Suddenly, a loud and thunderous tremor shook the entire scape such that Raven and Northern almost faltered their step.
Raven frowned and looked at Northern whose brows were also getting furrowed.
[Sense] had gotten better since his soul evolved, so he could immediately tell.
"All the monsters in the forest are rampaging... I don't know, it's like something is waking up."
The frown on Raven's face suddenly got dark, her eyes narrowed into a stormy grey as she fixed an intense, displeased glare straight ahead.
"You know something, don't you?"
A drop of sweat trickled down Raven's forehead.
"When I was making plans for this journey through investigating the Lord of Lotheliewan's diary, there was one little bargain that I made."
Northern looked at her; he had a very bad feeling about what was about to come out of her mouth.
In fact, he'd have wished for her to stop, but unfortunately, he had to know.
At least, she was being straight honest even outside the rift.
She continued,
"If the bargain was to fail, I was sure that we all would die. None of us could make it back..."
Northern raised his chin a little.
He wasn't even surprised anymore at how thoughtless, careless, and ignorant she could be.
"You bargained with my life without even informing me?" Northern growled at her.
"You collected all the soul cores, I think that's enough payment for jeopardizing your life. Besides, it's not like you didn't know that every fight with a monster is your life being bargained."
"Yeah? But this is with a monster you can't beat, none of us can beat, right?"
Raven looked away with a frown then looked back.
"Maybe before... but now, I'm sure we can survive."
