<strong>"LORY!!"</strong> Zhao Li Xin watched the giant pillar fall on top of Lory, at the same time he felt his heart drop into his stomach, Zhao Li Xin scream in extreme panic.
<strong>"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"</strong> Zhao Li Xin screams while released his Qi and like a gust of wind it blew away everyone around him, Sanguan Wu Hao and the undead woman was thrown to the ground with flames licking their bodies and like an immortal flame, once it touched the victim, the flames would continue to burn relentlessly untill the victim died.
Unfortunately, since the undead couldn't feel any pain, soon they rose from the ground not caring that their bodies had been crushed while still engulfed by fire they lunged simultaneously toward Zhao Li Xin with blank stares like lifeless dolls.
Only Sanguan Wu Hao that still could felt pain trying to extinguish Zhao Li Xin's fire which burned both his arms but in vain until an undead woman came he grabbed Sanguan Wu Hao's arm then absorbed the fire from Sanguan Wu Hao into herself immediately the fire transfer to her and the woman burned while the fire at Sanguan Wu Hao gradually dissipated.
Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin didn't care about the enemy's situation at all, using all his power dashed towards the abyss where Lory had disappeared.
When Zhao Li Xin jumped towards the cliff, another figure blocked Zhao Li Xin's path while throwing a heavy punch at him, Zhao Li Xin crossed his arms in front of his chest and the fire within him ignited and then spread out like an octopus' tentacle ready to wrap the man that dares to gets in his way.
Seeing the situation was not in his favor the man did not push his way instead back away and then landed firmly on a large rock.
Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth impatiently, he want to look at Lory right away but they don't seem to want to let him go, Zhao Li Xin take a deep breath while reminding himself that she will be alright...she always does.
The man on the boulder rise on his feet, his lanky body standing firm with a face as pale as a corpse, and his vacant eyes staring at Zhao Li Xin with a hint of interest.
The skinny man turned out to be Xiang Yu one of Wei Zu Tian's heavenly knights of the Heaven's Gate sect. It was he who took Wei Zu Tian's lifeless body previously, hence it was clear now why he took Wei Zu Tian's corpses, Xiang Yu has to turn Wei Zu Tian into one of his collections.
"Lesser-Demon too, huh?" Zhao Li Xin scoffed with disdain.
Xiang Yu shrugged with a smile, he didn't show any hesitation, pride, or madness like the other Lesser- Demons, he appear calm and collected which is unusual.
Zhao Li Xin's eyes were bored in Xiang yu's eyes, it was easy to tell that the man was crazy, he was probably crazy even before he turned into Lesser-Demon.
Zhao Li Xin turned his gaze to Wu Hao and Xian Yu's consecutively then sneered, "Whatever you sacrifice for this power, I hope it's worth it"
Sanguan Wu Hao lets out coarse laughs as he mocked Zhao Li Xin, "Your woman is dead and now you will follow!"
Even though Zhao Li Xin didn't believe what Sanguan Wu Hao said but still his words made his blood boil in rage his eyes glinted with murderous intent.
"You all will regret this…" Zhao Li Xin curled up into a vicious smile at the same time all the living dead women, Xiang Yu and Sanguan Wu Hao moved in sync as they surrounded Zhao Li Xin like a bunch of hyenas.
____________________________________
Lory felt like floating on a soft and warm mattress, she felt today is Saturday which mean she doesn't need to go to school, Lory pulled the blanket up to her face she planned to spend more time sleeping but then she remembered she had a lot of work today but again she was too lazy so she will skip everything today and sleep all day.
Then a soft voice sounded in his ear "Lory, wake up"
Lory groaned in annoyance refusing to get up, she was too tired today.
But her shoulder was shaken then the soft voice echoed again "Lory, come on, wake up..."
"Mmm..." Lory was annoyed she then force her eyes open slightly and what greeted her is Zhao Li Xin alluring smile but strangely he wears a Cavernhall uniform and has his beautiful long hair hair cut short into a preppy hairstyle like Fredhardt's.
"It's time to go to school~" Zhao Li Xin smiled brightly.
However, Seeing Zhao Li Xin's short hair Lory cried desperately <strong>"WHY DID YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?!"</strong>
[....]
Girsha rolls his eyes tiredly [Can you wake up normally like a normal person, seriously, you are so weird]
Lory paused, it took a while for her to realize she was lying on the damp ground.
Lory looked up and then see Girsha's white wings covering her like an impenetrable shield that protected her from debris and stones.
Her memory slowly came back she scratched her head wondering why she dreamed of her school days and why Zhao Li Xin was also there, could be dreams and reality start to mix up in her head now, did that mean she was starting to go crazy? well, it's about time.
Lory blew her cheek before long her purple eyes lit up a second then the rubble of the rock above her exploded. Lory came out of the rubble while trying to fix her clothes which were covered with dirt and half torn maybe from the previous fight and buried in the wreckage, Lory sighed while checking her surroundings.
[Where are we?] Lory swept her gaze around her in confusion.
[You don't remember? we were thrown somewhere after getting hit by those pillars] Girsha warns.
[Oh yeah...it feels like the pillars deliberately attacked us...is this a coincidence?] Lory pursed her lips only now Lory felt something strange with the pillars falling as if someone was deliberately targeting her.
[Remember the ancient forest? this place might have the same traps as that place, but it's possible that someone activated the traps,] Girsha said casually, not sounding worried at all that someone was trying to kill them.
Lory also didn't care sadly she was too used to people trying to kill her, instead of thinking about it she'd better find a way out of this place but every way out was blocked by large rocks and debris and Lory didn't dare to use her power for fear of destroying the entire cave or worse, causing the volcano to erupt.
Girsha separated from Lory then returned to the form of a small bird and flew around the cave looking for a way out then suddenly she shouted [Lory, come here quickly!]
[What?] Lory took long strides towards Girsha.
[Look, there's a crack in the ground, I can hear the sound of water in the bottom!] Girsha pointed with his wing.
There was a hole no more than four meters in diameter which was similar to a well, Lory looked into the hole and then he smelled a sour smell coming from Lory's nostrils twitching then she snorted loudly because rotten eggs had a strong odor indicating it was a sulfur mix with the water.
[You know it's acidic water down there, right?] Lory stared at the bird like he was crazy.
[Yeah, so what?] Girsha looked back at her innocently [Water is your domain and with your alteration ability it's easy to purify the water around you, the only downside of this action is you will spend more mana than usual but that's better than being stuck here, right?]
Alas, Girsha's words make sense, she does need to find Zhao Li Xin as soon as possible knowing how much he must be worried about her.
Hence, she is also uncomfortable leaving Zhao Li Xin alone in the same place as Lazarus, she is scared of what the demon will do when she's not with him.
Lory clicked her tongue in annoyance knowing she had no other choice and what was worse because the hole was too small she couldn't spread her wings.
Lory peeked at the deep hole she pursed her lips thinking it will not be easy, Lory then relaxed her muscles first by doing simple stretching, she close her eyes then took a deep breath, and slowly let it out.
[There it is!] Lory then jumps into the hole. The wind swirled around her in order to slower her falling but still, the smell of sulfur hitting her nose made her nose inevitably twitch.
Lory opened her palms and the wind that swirled around her was moving faster and faster pulling the water below and then enveloping her, once she plunged into the water everything around her froze creating a crystal ball that protected her and Girsha within.
It was as if in an aquarium Lory was floating inside a transparent crystal ball looking out but without the slightest light Lory was having trouble seeing anything fortunately, she could still feel a faint current slowly pull them in a direction that she hoped it would lead them out.
Suddenly from the corner of her eyes, she caught something moving.
[What is that?] Lory looks around her warily.
Girsha's expression stiffens his green eyes stare deeply into the darkness in front of him then under his breath Girsha whisper [Girl...we're not alone...]
