1250 A Friend's lament

The sound of typing filled the room which was quite spacious, although it couldn't be said to be luxurious, the room had two quite large beds with shiny wooden floors and large windows, However, at this time the large windows were covered with thick curtains. Fortunately, the room had sufficient lighting so the entire room was still bright.

Meanwhile, behind a large table in front of the window, there was a man with messy blonde hair who was typing at high speed while wearing earphones, seemingly immersed in his work. The man's blue eyes stare dart left and right at the computer screen while occasionally reaching for the soft drink next to him.

Suddenly the bedroom door slammed open and a red-haired man rushed into the room with long strides, he threw his grocery bag onto the messy bed that looked like it hadn't been cleaned for days then he spoke in urgency "Jay, you need to see this!" He took the TV remote from the table and turned on the television.

Jay's concentration automatically broke and he reflexively turned his gaze to the TV. On television, a female reporter frantically reported the chaotic situation at a festival event and the visitors running and pushing each other frantically. Jay took off his headphones as he stared at the TV screen, not long after a strange winged animal spewed fire towards the crowd causing everything to burn whether it was objects or people, and people became more hysteric

Jay stood up from his chair and then walked closer to the TV. Both Jay and Clift froze as they watched the chaos displayed by the news on the television, for a moment they couldn't talk.

"This happened in Everglade City," Clift broke the silence first.

"What is that thing?" Jay's eyes widened.

"I don't know..." Clift's expression turned heavy.

They watched the news intently as the reporter ran for safety with everyone else, not long after a group of private security rushed to subdue the strange beast, alas, they were no match for the beast, instead of weakening the beast, they only made the beast even angrier. soon they were all wiped away by the beast's claws and fire.

"That thing is bulletproof?" Jay said with awed.

"Not bulletproof..." Clift's voice stiffened. "That thing can regenerate." Clift saw that the animal was able to remove the bullet from its own body and soon the wound closed itself.

"The beast looks like a Wyvern but not like any Wyvern we've ever seen before and we both know no Wyvern possessed that ability..."Jay stands, stupefied by what he sees.

"There's no Wyveryn covered in tree branches and vines like that...what is that thing?" Clift can't get his head around it.

For someone who became an Archknight, he had seen many unbelievable things that were beyond human comprehension making him believe he had seen it all but who would have thought that the world still had surprises in store for him?!

When any resistance was futile, out of nowhere a knight in white armor and a silver cape lunged towards the beast gallantly, he swung his sword cutting through the beast's wings with such ease, causing the beast to fall to the ground with a loud thud, but this time the beast was unable to regenerate its wounds.

"The paladin" Clift's eyes glint dangerously.

"Salvo de Rova" Jay sneer.

"The leader of the paladin and the Saintess guardian..." Clift's sneer as he stares at the man on the television.

Afterward, the saintess displayed her ability by changing the strange beast's carcass into flower petals after that the beast's carcass returned to normal indicating the saint had purified the strange beast.

"Ha, this will make a headline" Jay quipped.

Clift scoff "It sure is,"

Zhao Li Xin's face hardens [Don't tell me you exhaust your Mana for these]

Lory scratches his head [Just a bit...]

[Tell me!] Zhao Li Xin narrows his eyes.

Lory pursed her lips [I better not used my power for two to three days]

[LORY!] Zhao Li Xin subconsciously raised his voice.

In a normal situation wouldn't be a big deal moreover he would be there to protect her but they just found out there were strong enemies after her and Zhao Li Xin wouldn't be around for some time so who knows what could happen? Moreover, Lory has innate skills to attract trouble from miles away.

Lory covers her ears and whines [Don't be angry, I'm worried about you okay! you have no experience exploring the labyrinth, your cultivation is still low and who knows what kinda beast you found down there, if I didn't do this I wouldn't be able to do anything thinking something might happen to you...] Lory looked down dejectedly.

Seeing her like this he couldn't continue being angry with her, Zhao Li Xin clenched the three crystals feeling a mix of anger, and frustration, but also touch, he understood Lory did all this because she loved him but for him, her safety is above everything else!

Zhao Li Xin caressed Lory's cheek [What should I do with you...?] the corners of his eyes creased with concern.

Lory grabbed Zhao Li Xin's hand and smiled broadly [I'll be fine, even without my gift I'm still pretty strong, you saw that for yourself in the past right?!]

Lory has indeed proven herself to be resourceful and strong enough even without her supernatural powers, but at that time Girsha was there to protect her in times of need so it was difficult for Zhao Li Xin to stay calm.

[Can't mana potion help you?] Zhao Li Xin thought it would be able to replenish her exhausted mana.

[That was with the help of mana potion, therefore I'm not falling into a deep slumber and can carry out normal activities, the truth is I am still able to use my gift in critical situations but....it will make me uncomfortable a bit...] Lory explain.

Zhao Li Xin massaged his temple feeling frustrated all over again, [Okay...just make sure your safety is the priority!] What else Zhao Li Xin could say since it's already happened he can only accept it and remind her to take care of herself.

Lory raised his thumb [Got it!]

[Promise me you won't go anywhere until you're in perfect condition!] Zhao Li Xin's eyes pierce against Lory's eyes filled with warning and concern.

Lory gave a weak reply [Oo-kayyy...]

Zhao Li Xin did not believe it moreover her track record was far from satisfying but he had no other choice, Zhao Li Xin pinched Lory's cheek [See if you dare to do something crazy when I'm not around, when I'm back see how I punish you!]

[Ouch!] Lory rubbed her reddened cheeks she then let out a loud snort [How do you really want to punish me?] She looked at him coquettishly [Are you going to lock me in the bedroom or tie me to the bed for days?] She bit her lower lips as she got excited.

The corner of his thin lips curl into an evil smirk [No cakes for you for a week!]

Lory's eyes tremble [You devil!]
