Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The snow collapsed in front of the mountain.

A massive hole undulated in green.

Its a gap in space.

Asilia quietly opened her mouth.

It seems similar to what we saw when we were absorbed.

The rest except for Yerina was bewildered by Asilias words.

I lost my mind, nyah.

Me too Did you see it, Ian?

Dont forget were just students.

Whether they saw it or not, they could make judgments.

They might be able to return to their original world through that gap.

When everyone reached that thought, they glanced at Asilia and Ian.

Clearly, the two who seemed intimate here.

One of them seemed unable to leave.

Asilia spoke.

Ah, it feels refreshing. I wanted to see this sight so much. Thank you all for your hard work. And Im really grateful.

Her smile seemed incredibly happy.

Thank you for enduring hardships under such a mediocre master.

Sigh-.

As if commemorating the last moment, Asilia embraced Ian.

But Ian pushed his master away.

Disciple. Yeah, you dont like the embrace of an old lady like this?

Ignoring Asilia pretending to be teary-eyed, Ian turned to Danya.

Ill be back.

Danya nodded.

This time, he asked Yerina.

The gap will close soon, right?

It should be about an hour.

Yes.

Ian turned away immediately.

And knelt in front of the bewildered Asilia and showed his back.

Master, please get on.

Um, it seems my disciple misunderstood, I cant pass there, right? Theres not much time left

Ian straightened his head immediately.

Were not going together. Ive prepared a place for Master to stay for a while.

A place to stay for a while? I was going to see off my disciple going, but where are you planning to leave me

Just kidding. Im serious, Master. Please get on. We dont have time.

Disciple, instead of unnecessary troubles, lets go back quickly. I really dont have any hope, any way left.

Ian firmly replied to Asilia, who awkwardly smiled.

I wont go either. Ill live here with my master. Please ride for now.

Really.

Reluctantly, Asilia rode on Ians back.

Where are we going?

Where Master will close her eyes for a moment.

As they rode back the way they came, Ian spoke.

No matter how skilled Richard is, he cant create a world like this on his own.

If we speculate on his style, hell probably use all sorts of magic, like boundaries, to link his prison to some real space in the north.

Thats

In other words, if Richard dies or he undoes the strange magic hes done, this space will reveal itself again in the real world.

A shiver ran down the masters spine.

It was impossible not to notice that slight change.

Master, you knew about it too.

Its spatial distortion magic.

You were trying to hide it.

Thats just in case

Ian carefully wiped away his masters tears.

You have to hope, master. Who am I to you?

Who are you?

The disciple of Sasha Asilia, the Snowflake Swordmaster.

Really

Smoothly.

Asilias lips rose heavily.

This would only become a burden in such a situation. Im a master just taking up space without any usefulness.

Its not a burden, its a treasure. Something you cant throw away no matter how heavy it is. Of course, right now, youre too light. Later, well have to fatten you up a bit to make you more valuable.

Smoothly.

Asilias lips twitched upward with great effort.

Even her breathing seemed faint and indistinct.

Even in this situation, jokes

It was sincere, but thank you for smiling.

Thank you.

As if she wanted to firmly store it in her memory, Asilias gaze scrutinized every corner of Ians face.

My disciple.

Smoothly.

Asilias eyes closed.

Her upper body fell and leaned against Ian.

Asilias breathing in Ians ear was calm.

Carefully, Ian laid his master down among the flowers blooming profusely.

Well then, good night. Master.

Did everything finish well?

Ian returned to the gap in space.

Yerina asked him.

The real ending will be when we see the end of Richard.

Those are the right words.

Yerina was worried about Ians mental state.

He and Asilia had a short but deep master-disciple relationship.

But Ians face was calm, and even his determination was felt.

Facing the imminent battle with Richard.

Ian seemed to have no shortage of determination.

Yerina nodded satisfactorily.

If we pass through this gap, theres a very high chance well come face to face with Richard. No. Well definitely do. Theres a high chance hell try to fight us straight away.

The location and external circumstances are significant variables. However, theres a possibility that Richard might be fighting someone else. If the assumption that the eyes here are Richards mana is correct.

Watching the increasingly fierce snowstorm, Ian spoke.

The problem is how severe Richards injuries will be.

This place is Richards prison.

Using the mark left by Asilia, Ian destroyed more than half of the snowfield.

In other words, it was no different from destroying the prison from the inside.

However, since this form of prison was not ordinary, it was difficult to gauge Richards condition.

The virtual prison has been shattered. Its not just ordinary injuries. Its safe to assume that about 90% of it has been destroyed.

In that case

Yeah, the current Richard wont even be able to wield a fraction of his power. Of course, his power at its fraction is probably stronger than mine.

Richard Pierce, the Grand Duke of the North, and the final boss of Act 2.

And one of the high-ranking members of the Bloodstone Cult.

Originally, this scenario was supposed to be about him gathering evidence of being part of the Bloodstone Cult, but

Its an opportunity. We can capture him.

This time, a situation had arisen where they could outright hunt him down.

Yerina spoke with a voice full of determination.

Everyone, stay alert. Ill take the vanguard.

Yerina stepped into the gap in space and disappeared.

Ian followed her lead and threw himself into it.

In an instant, the scenery changed completely.
