Chapter 165: Another encounter with the God of Death (2/2)

The one he’d grasped was no Charlotte at all. Instead, it was Sea Gale Academy’s Chirade, the one who’d still been in a struggle of life and death with them moments ago!

And what made Ayrin even more speechless was, Chirade also seemed to have regained his clearness of mind moments ago, struggling to open his eyes and look at him. He also had the expression of one who’d seen a ghost.

“Evil Flaming Eye!”

Ayrin leaped backward and immediately shot an Evil Flaming Eye.

“Ah!”

Chirade hadn’t had time to catch his breath yet. He could only cross his arms in front of himself and protect the vital spots on his face that the Evil Flaming Eye already struck him.

With a miserable yell, his body flew away in the water.

Ayrin immediately chased after him and struck him with another Evil Flaming Eye, loudly shouting at the same time, “What about Charlotte!”

“How would I know where’s Charlotte!

“You’re the one who pulled me here, why are you asking me?!” Chirade desperately shouted in indignation. He didn’t have any strength left to retaliate, and felt he was soon going to be beaten dead.

“Oh, that’s right…”

Ayrin stared a second, but he immediately shouted again, “Isn’t it because you and your freak pal Lotton broke the water tower together? I wouldn’t have lost sight of Charlotte otherwise!”

“I…” Chirade directly passed out before even regaining his breath.

“Ayrin…”

Just then, a weak voice said, “I’m here.”

“Ah?”

Ayrin looked around. He saw someone struggle to stand up in the water not far away from one of the passageways blocked by debris.

Overjoyed, Ayrin shouted “Charlotte!” then dashed in her direction.

“Charlotte, why are you here?”

He loudly shouted again after reaching her.

“…” Charlotte was suddenly speechless.

Ayrin’s words were simply nonsense. Apart from being swept by the current, how else would she find herself here?

“What about Ferguillo and Ivan and the others?”

“How would I know where they’ve been swept off to!” Charlotte was almost going to become crazy. But then she remembered Ayrin was shouting for her and making a fuss moments ago, then remembered that she had always been the one Ayrin called first. Her heart suddenly felt sweet.

Ayrin suddenly chuckled, a little embarrassed. Then he quickly turned around, and gestured at her with his back to her.

“What?” Charlotte was very confused.

“Hehe, you’re a bit exposed,” Ayrin said, a little embarrassed.

Charlotte subconsciously looked down. Whoosh! She suddenly blushed. Her clothes were totally soaked. That in itself outlined her great figure, and on top of that, the force of the current had caused her neckline to appear a bit too low.

She immediately straightened her clothes.

Around them, the water accumulated on the ground had entirely receded by now.

“Eichemalar didn’t fall. Ayrin, we did it.”

Charlotte suddenly seemed to realize something. She shouted, her voice very strange.

“That’s right. We’re brave warriors after all… Heheheheh…”

Ayrin kept laughing foolishly, proud of himself.

“Ayrin, I think there’s someone there!”

Charlotte exclaimed just then.

She saw someone apparently “stuck” on the wall near the exit of a tunnel diagonally opposite them, not moving an inch.

“Is it Ivan? Joyce?”

Ayrin’s eyes widened.

“I think it’s Lotton!” Charlotte followed after Ayrin and had walked two steps forward when even her teeth started clattering.

“Lotton?!”

Ayrin also froze all of a sudden.

“I think it’s really Lotton!”

His eyes had adapted to his surroundings by now. He also clearly saw the Hellfire Academy’s uniform on that person stuck tightly to the wall!

“Don’t be afraid, he looks dead!”

He carefully went forward a couple steps; it was indeed Lotton. Only, he saw that Lotton wasn’t moving even a finger, his head hanging low.

“Dead?” Charlotte’s voice was still quivering somewhat.

Lotton’s power was really too frightening. In the previous battle, he’d pinned down Audrey, Ivan, and Joyce almost by himself. Also, he’d dealt serious damage with a sneak attack to Ferguillo, the one who might have had the greatest influence on the battle otherwise.

“He should be dead!”

Ayrin nodded, looking very sure of himself. “Look, his face is already pale, and he’s not moving even like this. I think he’s not even breathing.”

“Is that so?” Charlotte didn’t seem so afraid anymore.

“Ah!”

But just then, goosebumps appeared all over her skin. She jumped close to Ayrin in spite of herself and almost hugged him.

Because just then, the immobile Lotton suddenly lifted his head.
