70 Chapter 68: A Vengeful Spiri (1/2)
[Slight Violence]
....
Ivery looked down at it and her eyes displayed nothing but confusion.
”What's wrong now?” Luther noticed the confused look Ivery had
”The map....changed...?” Ivery said
”What!?” Danya and Yannel exclaimed
”It changed?” Luther leaned over Ivery's shoulder and took a look
Ivery lightly blushed and nodded.
”All of the areas we were heading to, aren't on this map anymore....the only thing that's the same on here is our destination, Ridgefall.” Ivery said
”But how did it change and why is it that only Ridgefall is still on the map?” Yannel asked
”...” They all went silent
”Maybe the map is supposed to do this...” Ivery said
”What do you mean?” Danya asked
”The journey to Ridgefall isn't supposed to be easy, since it is a place that thousands of adventurers seek, I don't think us running into that wall was an accident.” Ivery said
”Well, only you ran into it.” Luther said with a smirk and wrapped his arms around her waist
”That's beside the point.” Ivery sighed
”There's something magical going on with this map....like it only reveals the true path to reach Ridgefall once you go through that....portal..?” Ivery began thinking out loud
”Portal..?” Danya looked confused
”That thing wasn't blocking us, it was actually a portal to get here...” Ivery concluded
”That makes sense...” Yannel raised his eyebrows
”So...where does the map say to go from here?” Luther asked
”Straight....” Ivery looked at the map
”Before we go....I've been wondering, where is that dragon of yours?” Yannel asked
”Dragon...” Ivery's eyes widened
”Eness...” Ivery covered her mouth
”When did you all last see her?” Ivery asked
”In the carriage.” They all responded
Luther released Ivery from his arms.
”The carriage...” Ivery snapped her fingers
The carriage materialized out of thin air, Ivery quickly opened the door.
”Master! How could you forget me!?” Eness flew straight for Ivery

Eness latched onto Ivery's face.
”...” Ivery touched Eness who was on her face
Ivery tried to pry Eness off but to no avail, Eness strongly stayed where she was.
Luther turned Ivery around to face him and grabbed Eness. He tugged on Eness and with another hard pull he successfully pulled her off of Ivery. Ivery took a deep breath of air, she felt like she was going to suffocate.
”I'm sorry Eness.” Ivery inhaled deeply
”At least...you didn't completely forget about me.” Eness said
”Yeah..” Ivery nervously looked away
”Where..?” Eness looked around at her new surroundings
Luther dropped Eness.

”Ouch!” Eness angrily looked up
Luther shrugged.
”Let's carry on...” Ivery snapped her fingers and the carriage dissipated away, with only floating golden magical particles left behind
”I'm so over walking...” Danya sighed and followed Ivery
”So am I...” Yannel agreed
”Was it just me or did you hear Ivery shout, 'Luther' earlier...?” Yannel whispered to Danya
”You heard that too?” Danya nodded
”Strange....” Yannel said
”Could they actually be....?” Danya's eyes widened
”No...that's not possible....is it?” Danya said to herself
....
”This place is oddly peaceful.” Danya looked around and only saw more cherry blossom trees
”It's also oddly vacant of any signs of life, no humans, monsters or animals to be seen anywhere....I wonder why that is...” Ivery said, with a suspicious feeling arising within her
..
As they were walking, suddenly Luther's reflexes were triggered, he grabbed Ivery and pulled her close to him.
Suddenly a long red sword dropped down and pierced into the ground where Ivery was standing before Luther had pulled her.
”What the hell?” Ivery looked at the glowing red sword
”A sword...?” Danya reached her hand out
”Don't touch it!” Ivery raised her voice
”?” Danya pulled the sword out of the ground
”Why?” Danya asked
”Because-” Ivery stopped talking and her eyes looked shockingly at Danya
”...” Danya's green irises turned red
Ivery quickly acted and snatched the sword out of Danya's hand. Danya's eyes reverted back to their green color and she looked at Ivery with a confused look.
”....” Ivery's red eyes glowed a brighter red
”Ivery!” Luther sensed something was wrong
The sword glowed brighter and red thin moving strings wrapped around her right hand, securing the sword in her hand. Her glowing red eyes looked at Luther with an intense murderous vibe.
”Master...?” Eness looked worriedly at Ivery who was acting strange
Suddenly from her feet, the green grass around her began to wilt and turn black. The wilting grass spread fast and even reached all of the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms immediately turned blood red and dripped with a thick red liquid.
The blue sky above them soon turned an orange-red hue.
”What's happening?!” Yannel shouted
”I don't know..!” Danya backed up
Ivery's body turned into a red flash and before she could realize what just happened, Danya saw Ivery standing right in front of her, her glowing red eyes looking menacingly at her.
”Ivery!? What's wrong with you?” Danya's legs started to shake and she fell on the ground once her legs gave out
”Dιҽ..” Ivery raised the sword
Just as Ivery swung the sword down, she was suddenly blocked by a long black sword. Her eyes looked over and she narrowed her eyes at Luther who blocked her attack.
”Let her go, whatever you are.” Luther narrowed his eyes back at her and pushed her back with his sword
Ivery stumbled back.
”Wԋყ ʂƚσρ ɱҽ? Wԋҽɳ ɯҽ'ɾҽ ƚԋҽ ʂαɱҽ...?” Ivery's voice sounded deep and she smiled at Luther
”What?” Luther raised an eyebrow
”I ʂҽɳʂҽ α ʂιɳιʂƚҽɾ αυɾα ƈσɱιɳɠ ϝɾσɱ ყσυ....ყσυ αɳԃ I αɾҽɳ'ƚ ʂσ ԃιϝϝҽɾҽɳƚ....” Ivery said
”Maybe we're not different, but you're currently in my fiance, so that's where you become my enemy.” Luther's sword shifted forms and took the form of his scythe
