Chapter 1018 Danger!

Chapter 1018 Danger!

"Master."

Hyunsuk clasped his hand and bowed before Lith, speaking in a monotonous voice. His voice even rivaled Sylvia's that had not a single ounce of emotion behind it.

"Hyunsuk, hold onto my shoulder. Make sure to not leave it."

Lith instructed and faced the remnant will.

Hyunsuk nodded in understanding and extended his hand up to hold onto his shoulder. But, he was unable to.

"Master, bend over."

"..." Lith

"..." Sylvia

Lith turned around and saw Hyunsuk's hand was indeed not able to reach his shoulder. He was short, around 175 cm or 180 cm.

Rubbing his temples, Lith wondered whether Hyunsuk had no common sense or whether it was just him who had a dirty mind.

In any case, he didn't say anything to Hyunsuk and said, "Hold onto my waist instead."

Hyunsuk grabbed a handful of Lith's non-existent love handles. The grip wasn't good because there was barely any fat there.

If his Master moves, then his hold would break loose. Hence, coming up with a proper strategy, Hyunsuk decided to hug Lith from behind, which he did right after Lith turned around.

Lith soon felt something warm behind his cold back.

His lips twitched, but he didn't say anything to Hyunsuk this time.

He needed him to be in physical contact with him. If the grip was lost during the remnant will removing process, then the situation would be slightly problematic.

Lith needed Hyunsuk's boundless luck. The halo on his head was a source of trouble and to offset it, who else would be better than a Charm?

Once he was in place, Lith channeled his spiritual power at the remnant will and began suppressing it.

The moment a strand of his spiritual power touched it, like current finding itself in a closed circuit, a strong aura charged flowed into Lith's body.

A prickling sensation made him want to scratch his body apart, but he gritted his teeth and channeled more of his spiritual power into it.

Soon, on every millimeter over his skin, Lith felt as if someone was poking him with a needle from inside. His mind screamed and his body wanted to withdraw its spiritual power from the will, safeguarding itself, but he persisted.

Sylvia could see Lith's face turning red with each passing second while Hyunsuk who was behind him was as expressionless as ever. It seemed that things didn't affect him.

A few moments later.

"Huff!"

Lith sent a last wave of his spiritual power into the will and it finally was absorbed fully by him.

The moment the last strand of it went inside his body, Lith was taken to another realm of consciousness for a second.

He saw a glimpse of the same crimson-eyed woman in a mighty hall, then appeared back to reality.

This confirmed a few things for Lith.

This woman was the one behind all of this. Secondly, beings of the higher plane could have their influence on the lower ones. It wasn't a lot, but it was of a considerable degree to harm individually targeted people.

Lith fell into deep thoughts as he pondered over a few more things in this regard.

Higher level beings were seen as constellations in the night sky and he could communicate with them due to his system. However, did others have such notifications pop up in their minds too?

If yes, how was this possible? If not, then how were they able to know which constellation was speaking and their ability to burn providence and do gestures?

Constellations or otherworldly deities could provide contracts and grab someone from the lower realms. However, why hasn't there been any instance of it appearing in his own world?

Was there something blocking it or was there a different reason altogether?

It was a quite fascinating development. Lith had a feeling that answers to these questions would soon be answered in the Sacred Celestial Realm when he goes to visit the Martial Master.

BAM!

The force with which Sylvia hit him made him burst through four layers of the dungeon's walls.

His bones broke apart, blood gushed out of his mouth, and with such a powerful punch from a Supreme Rank, his Saint Rank physique went into a coma.

"You hit him hard." Lith pointed out.

"My apologies."

From her flat tone, Sylvia didn't seem apologetic, but that was just the way she spoke.

"Hyunsuk, take him and ask others to ensure he doesn't run away. Sylvia, drop Hyunsuk and that guy in the castle and be back."

The two nodded their heads and went to do as Lith had asked them.

Lith then went back to the Giant girl and watched her aunt recover at a visible pace.

The tree withered away and the Giant girl's aunt's body slowly started appearing.

It was sickly pale and quite thin for a Giant. Her stature was also half the size of the Giant girl, almost similar to Lith's.

By the time the woman fully appeared, Sylvia was back by Lith's side.

She ensured to cover the nude woman in front and help her recover faster and properly.

The Giant girl was in tears and sobbed continuously. Her mind was probably blank and she was in no state to converse, thought Lith.

Ten minutes later.

The woman's eyes fluttered open. Her hazy vision soon gained clarity as she saw the Giant girl.

"Nika..."

"Aunt!"

The girl burst into tears and hugged her aunt, unable to stay put anymore.

Lith backed a step away with Sylvia and gave the two some alone time.

The girl, whose name Lith now knew was Nika, wailed in happiness and sorrow while the woman, although sad, kept her tears to herself and consoled the girl.

The girl's sobbing was quite loud. Even though Lith was away from her, it felt as if someone was screaming in his ears.

Maybe it was due to this, but he felt something wriggle on his back.

Turning to the side, Lith saw his aunt make some movements.

'Oh, I totally forgot about her.'

She was so light and unmoving that she seemed to have blended into Lith's body. She didn't become a hindrance while he battled or made any movements. It was quite odd.

"Mhm..."

Mayzin mumbled softly as her hold on Lith tightened, making him gasp.

'Oof...'

She seemed to be waking up.

"...huwaaa..."

A soft yawn was heard by Lith, but he couldn't react to it as he was busy gripping onto his aunt's hands, trying to put them away from his neck and letting him breathe.

Mayzin's hold was too tight!

Lith's face turned red as a tomato and veins popped everywhere on his neck and face.

"Mhm... where am... I?"
