Chapter 889 Chilling Consequences

Chapter 889 Chilling Consequences

Suddenly, like a flame running on its last fuel source, Orion's strength gradually depleted. The immense struggle had severely weakened his body, devastating him to the extent that he couldn't even feel his limbs or maintain his current posture.

Orion bit his tongue and his lips, attempting to shock his body back into consciousness. However, he couldn't feel any pain. Like rubber breaking apart without any elasticity after being stretched, Orion began to lose consciousness.

Soon, his body began to feel light, the Vylkr energy still coursing through him, and he gradually floated towards the surface.

.......

"Mother, do you think he'll make it?" Aurora asked, her voice trembling slightly as she kept her eyes fixed on the Divine Lake Essence, waiting for signs of Orion's return or any indication that he had successfully created his two Vylkr containers and advanced to the next stage.

"If you're so worried, why didn't you stop him from trying to create two Vylkr containers? If you had expressed your concerns and reasons to him, I'm sure he would have listened," Aerialia responded, focusing intently on her daughter.

Aurora shook her head. "Since he came here directly from his manor, he must have informed some of my sisters about his advancement. However, the fact that he was still determined to create two Vylkr containers means they also left the decision to him. So, there's no reason for me not to do the same and be any different," she explained.

She momentarily turned her gaze towards Aerialia before continuing, "Besides, Mother, if you had advised him against such a reckless attempt, he would have listened. Yet, you remained silent."

Hearing Aurora's response, Aerialia exhaled deeply. "If this were a matter of the 'hierarchy of powers' that I am familiar with, I wouldn't have allowed him to make any reckless attempts. The rules in that region are already fixed, and attempting to break them without a reliable outcome would be foolishness. However, the Vylkr energy is a force capable of shattering the rules and order of the world, including those of the gods."

It was at this moment that Aerialia immediately released possession of her body. Just when she was about to get up from the ground and race towards Orion again, Aerialia instantly blocked her.

"STOP IT"!! Aerialia ordered, her voice rigid as she stared at Aurora. Shocked by her strict tone, Aurora flinched backwards under her gaze.

"Mo..." Aurora attempted to speak. However, Aerialia immediately interrupted, "He's not dead yet. If he was, I wouldn't be here with you right now. So, stay put while I check on his condition. Your body might resist some of the Vylkr energy, but too much will kill you. Wait here until I return."

Hearing Aerialia's response, Aurora slowly nodded in understanding. If Orion was alive, then risking her life unnecessarily would be foolish.

Aerialia exhaled deeply, thankful Aurora hadn't stubbornly insisted on joining her. Without saying another word, Aerialia took off and immediately headed toward Orion's direction.

As she looked down at his unconscious, pitiful condition, anxiety filled her. Her mind raced with thoughts on how to bring him back to consciousness.

"ORIONNN!!" Aerialia screamed, her voice echoing towards him. She hoped it would be enough to rouse Orion from his slumber. However, it was futile. He remained unresponsive, showing no signs of movement.

Frustrated, Aerialia gritted her teeth in anger. She decided to retreat to the small Crimson Greatsword mark. It was the only safe place where she could contact Orion without being overwhelmed by the immense Vylkr energy.

Immediately, she appeared in an incomprehensible, dark abyss. Below her stretched a smooth, crimson radiant plane resembling liquid blood. She took a deep breath and screamed outwards, "ORIONN!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" She hoped her voice would penetrate the mark and reach Orion's consciousness.
