Chapter 411: The Way Out

Chapter 411: The Way Out



Northern turned to the rest with a bright, accommodating smile, trying not to seem so scary with the gruesome onyx sword in his hand.

"Hey guys, I would appreciate it if you all stopped staring right now?"

All of them blinked and tried to look away from Northern.

The moment Koll entered the battlefield, they all thought it was going to be the end for them.

Even Zephyr felt like this was the end of the road for him. He was already beginning to consider a way to betray them to save himself.

Not that he owed them any loyalty to begin with.

Northern then raised his eyes to the sky and stared for a couple of seconds before lowering them, worry crossing his face.

Annette tiredly dragged herself towards him and glanced up.

"What is that thing?"

He looked at her.

"What? You seem to know that guy just now, and I presume you know what this is."

Northern lingered for a few moments, then sighed.

"That thing is supposed to be the thin line between bloodshed and madness."

Annette tilted her head a little bit.

"What's that supposed to mean? What's in the thin line?"

"Hmmm... how exactly am I supposed to explain this..." Northern drifted away in silence for a couple of seconds, then opened his mouth again.

"You know about Ul, right?"

"The voice of the world? Yes."

"Put aside the voice of the world thing. I would call her a supreme existence in our world."

She shrugged, "Well, you are not entirely wrong, except that she is the world..."

"Well, let's just say the creature in that place rivals Ul's power. It's an Origin or a Tyrant, hell, I don't know which," Northern said casually, no hint of dread or importance in his tone.

Annette looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"That's impossible. Do you know what you are talking about..." she paused and steadied her breathing, "I would have said that if you didn't just mention those two words: Origin and Tyrants."

Northern raised his brows, "Oh? You know about that?"

"Not explicitly, but while I was working with the government, I came across some files..." she paused mid-sentence, "I don't think now is the time for that explanation. What do we do about it?"

Northern looked back up and shook his head slightly.

"To be honest, I thought it would be possible to close it back, but I was wrong..."

Annette looked up and brought her bruised face to him, slightly tense.

"What do you mean you were wrong? If that thing comes down, would you be able to stand against it?"

Northern immediately looked at her, a grave seriousness on his face.

She swallowed her questions immediately and turned back to shout at others.

Immediately, everyone began to move. The monsters regained their consciousness, along

with the flaming fury in their eyes.

While they wanted to defend themselves and fight back, Northern shouted,

"No one is to fight back, just run like a coward!"

Judging by the facial expressions of some of them, they probably didn't like his choice of

words. But he didn't care.

Still, some of them looked at him with awe in their eyes.

The monsters naturally pursued, but they were unable to get past Northern.

It didn't matter how far away from Northern they were; they were unable to pass him.

He used the invisible void force of Limitless Void as a wall to stop them from moving forward. Spreading it to the end of the horizon, while he allowed the humans passage, he denied the

monsters.

And he waited for everyone to be done. Annette, despite her tired state, made sure that everyone entered the rift.

When they had all gone, she stopped and looked at Northern's back.

"What now?"

Northern looked at Night Terror, who had been silently standing beside him for a while now.

"Night Terror, you should know the realm I'm coming from. Enter that rift; it will lead you

directly there and take Fluffy to the Limitless Void."

Night Terror lowered his head and walked away, entering the rift.

This left Annette and Northern alone in this rift.

He sighed and muttered audibly.

"Damn it, I'm about to lose a lot of my soul summons."

Northern let out a grim sigh and closed his eyes.

The flames of void spread instantaneously, turning the entire landscape black, and from

within it, monsters with black and blue skin began to emerge.

It seemed like their bodies had been consumed by void itself. They looked horrific, terrifying,

and induced fear in the hearts of those who saw them.

Annette's face contorted with more worry and confusion, but she asked no questions.

Northern turned away and said to her, "Let's go."

Annette looked at his face, "Are you sure? Won't he escape still?"

"Even if he does, this rift will be sealed with its gateway broken."
