Chapter 398 - Mysteries of Mysterious Maze (part-2) (1/2)
Ryuu promptly closed his mouth as he rebuked himself, 'Damn it you idiot, did you forget every character who screamed in that film died because of it and now you screamed with your mouth open, even if it was a roar of anger and challenge, but not scream of fear I should be careful.'
Ryuu got ready with his sword drawn as six small swords surrounded him, his Divine body working in full effect as countless talismans surrounded him protectively.
A drop of sweat appeared over his brow as he waited for the enemy to appear but instead of any enemy a spear appeared, the very same he had seen on that statue.
He took a step back as his hands shook, the sword in his hand seemed to be overcome with joy as did the feeling of meeting a very old friend enveloped him, he did not know what to think of it.
When he had first received 'Requiem', his took him from him, he understood that they were cautious but no matter what they did, no matter how much they kept it under lock and key it would eventually reappear by his side.
No to mention how cranky he would become when 'Requiem', would be taken from him, eventually, his teachers, as well as his older sisters, gave up as the sword could only be separated by the destruction of Ryuu's soul and now he had a very trustworthy friend by his side, but the reappearance of 'Genesis', gave him a newfound headache.
Ryuu could feel the happiness emanating from 'Genesis', he did know what to do, should he pick it up or not, Requiem wanted him to, his Divine Body wanted him to but he did not as he was confused.
'The things that the thrice-damned woman had spouted, was she speaking the truth? If she then what is my connection with this place.'
He suddenly felt something warm in his left hand as he looked down he was startled to see himself holding 'Genesis.'
'What?!! How is this possible? Why am I holding 'Genesis' when I was at least a few dozen meters away from it?'
His musing was cut short when a sharp jolt of pain hit his head as he collapsed like a puppet whose strings had been cut off.
”Zywia!”, an elated voice of True-Spear came to her ears as she spun with a smile on her face.
”I am so glad you are alright.”
The relief in his voice made her heart soar as she spoke with a blush, ”Me too.”
The duo simply stood near each other basking in each other presence never breaking off their eye contact as Frost Flames finally decided to intervene by clearing her throat.
”If you two have finished staring at each other maybe we could move on preferably sometime before the next millennia.”
”Sister Frost Flames please let them stare at each other, True-Spear was rushing to find Zywia like a mad bull and while they stare at each other let me rest keeping an eye on him was extremely tiring.”, a haggard-looking Chianyu spoke while leaning against the wall.
”So this is another large cavern?”
”Yes, it is though I hope we do not have to enter another maze.”
Chianyu snorted upon hearing Frozen Ocean's words as he spoke, ”With our luck I doubt it.”
As the group descended into an uncomfortable silence, more and more cultivators appeared in the cavern and soon everyone except Ryuu had arrived.
Both Frozen Ocean and Frost Flames were worried at that as Frozen Ocean spoke with a frown, ”Has anyone seen Ryuu? It has been some time since we had all arrived yet he is nowhere to be seen.”
Many frowned as an uneasy murmur ran through the group as Zywia spoke in a bewildered voice, ”Eh!? Brother Ryuu is not here yet?”
Everyone who belonged to Ryuu's group felt their brow twitch as Su-min spoke with a frustrated sigh, ”Sister Zywia when you are done, please remember to pay attention to us, lowly mortals.”
Zywia blushed before she gained an enlightened look on her face as she whispered, ”I think I might have solved the puzzle though I would like to speak of it in private.”
