Chapter 424 - 424: Night before departure part 2 (2/2)
”While I am concern about the citizen, Should the top withered out, they will be left helpless after the threat of the fallen god pass by, and as such, will withered away in an instance. That's why, for the safety and benefit of all, I should at least make sure us survive this whole ordeal. For the benefit of the humanity as a whole” [First Prince]
”I see... That settles it then” [Ash]
Taking my scythe out, I quickly engage with him. I can tell that he is far stronger that what he look, and I'm sure he enhanced himself one way or another with some shady method, but
”I might be weak and recovering, but, there's no way I will loose!” [Ash]
”Get hi...” [First Prince]
”Dark slash” [Rean]
”Heaven and hell fire” [Elise]
”!” [First Prince]
”I guess you're also looking down on them as mere kids.” [Ash]
He really didn't expect Rean and Elise to join the fray, and in an anti climatic fight, we win without breaking a sweat
”You! If it comes to this...” [First Prince]
”I'll be taking this” [Muse]
”Muse!” [Rean]
”Looks like I really underestimate all of you” [First Prince]
Is that it... Something amiss... Muse take some strange crystal from the first prince
(Titania. Mahsuri. If you would) [Ash]
((We will come and...)) [Mahsuri, Titania]
”KYAAAH!” [Muse]
The crystal engulf Muse, and just as she's about to vanish
”Caught you!” [Ant Aries]
The Holy Beast of Earth and her minion save the day. One of the minion ant looks rather different, as it gulp down the crystal and another one try to close down the portal
”I'm glad I was able to foresee this or else you will be tossed by now” [Ant Aries]
”Just now... That portal?” [Elise]
”It's unstable, but I can tell one thing. That's the portal to the devil side. He's planning to engulf you all there” [Ant Aries]
”Not to the world of Doppelganger?” [Ash]
”Close. While I do know the devil and Doppelganger live in one dimension, there's barrier erected by God of Light, Theia... No, by the current form of her, Holy Beast of Light, Angkasa that separate those two world, albeit, it's getting thinner” [Ant Aries]
”I see. Guess we are careless. I'm glad I bring you with us” [Ash]
I really am. I don't want to meet the fallen god once again. At least not now
”Now then, I suppose there's nothing much to do now except...” [Ash]
The first prince, while anticipating the involvement of the holy beast, didn't anticipate his back up plan will be spoil so quickly by Ant Aries. Rean and Elise mentioned that since the holy beats of earth here had been dealing with devil invasion on her nest before, she might develop some sort of six sense and countermeasure to it, and thus, her quick and prompt action to save us all
Just as I am about to swing my scythe to his neck
”Wait!” [Diana]
”Diana!” [Ash]
Just how did she know?
