Chapter 71 - UNDERWORLD (1/2)
There was a portal, in the shape of a crescent moon and looked almost like a black hole, with roaring growls resounding from the inside of it, as if there were millions of beasts that were trapped behind it.
One would shiver when they heard such sounds and wouldn't be able to stand too close as it emanated the aura of death.
Yet, Chaos didn't even budge, he didn't even falter when he looked into the depths of the portal. It was about something that he wanted and he wouldn't turn his back from it.
”Are you sure you want to bring her soul back from the underworld?” Hades asked him once again before Chaos took another step closer. ”There is no turning back after this.”
Chaos didn't heed that unnecessary warning, as he continued to walk toward the portal, but when the little beast in his arms disappeared, he stopped and looked at Hades harshly.
”If you succeed, you will come back with her, if not, you will die.” He shrugged. ”There is no need to bring a dead body inside, I have plenty.”
Hearing that, Chaos didn't give any response, but then he turned around and continued walking.
”You've become a lot more like a human, do you even realize it?” Hades mumbled. ”Maybe because I weakened your strength by shattering your soul?” he contemplated.
And once Chaos stepped into the portal, it was closed, leaving the God of the underworld standing alone amidst the ruins of the buildings and the chaos that he left.
”None ever came back from that… tsk! I told you to not go…”
=================
Lise and Sol watched in fear as the destruction that swallowed the Fokosa city continued to wreak havoc, the damage stretched to miles away from the building that a few hours ago, Lise had her wedding with Gael.
Tonight was supposed to be their wedding night, but the sound of it alone was very foreign in Lise's ears, since she had never looked forward to it.
So many people died because of that assault and for some reason that Lise couldn't explain, it was all because of her fault. Somehow, it was connected to the fact that she had killed the mysterious little girl.
No, Lise didn't mean to kill her, she just didn't want Sol to be killed.
However, they could worry about that later, since they were still in a critical situation. Thankfully, Sol was able to operate this helicopter across the dark clouds and thunder above their heads.
Another problem aside from the fact that they could be struck by thunder was; how to land this helicopter safely, since they couldn't see any possible safe landing, as many buildings and places had turned into rubble.
”Are you okay?” As soon as Sol asked that question, he felt stupid. No one would be okay in this situation and he didn't need to ask that rhetorical question to her just to fill the silence between them.
But, he just wanted to make sure that she was not any worse than this…
”Where are we going?” Lise asked him instead. This helicopter wouldn't be able to carry them forever, they eventually needed to land somewhere, though they had been flying for more than twenty minutes now, giving a great distance between them and Gael, or any other creatures there.
