Chapter 436 - Of Rain and Tears (Part-2) (1/2)

Heavy rain pelted on the ground hard making it difficult to see, while a lone figure made his way braving through the rain towards a mountain, the skies rumbled above him before showing their displeasure by hurtling bolts towards him which the figure dodged easily.

A loud crack was heard as he watched a large landslide take place but it was not something that he would pay too much attention to as he knew he was high above the ground for it to make any problem for him at all.

He soon found himself entering into a cave, the inside of the cave was a small maze and following various twists and turned he finally reached his destination a large cavern with various small caves dug out of the like a beehive and in the middle of the cavern was a giant tree, he could spot various people inside the beehive-shaped rooms, some of them soon noticed him as they send him a greeting which he returned with a smile but he did not stop there his destination lay elsewhere, he went towards a particular cave as he entered a figure sitting on the ground opened her eyes as a smile blossomed on her lips, a smile that made butterflies flutter in his belly.

”Welcome back Ryuu, did you find anything interesting?”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”Nothing though it felt great to spend some time in the rain.”

Frost Flames simply snorted at that as she spoke, ”You really love rain.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Yes I love the rain for some reason, after all, why would I not because under the rain was able to create my sword technique.”, Ryuu frowned as he spoke, ”But, still I would like some sun to shine every now and then, this place if too dreadful otherwise.”

Frost Flames could not help but nod before she stood up from her place before giving a quick kiss on his lips, before her eyes then travelled to Ryuu's mismatched ones as she checked them before speaking again, ”Your eyes are almost back to normal.”

”Really?”

Frost Flames nodded at that as she continued, ”Yes only if someone looks closely will they notice something different about your pupils, otherwise it is not noticeable.”

As she spoke Frozen Ocean stepped inside the room and upon seeing Ryuu a small smile blossomed on her face as she spoke, ”Ryuu when did you arrive?”

Ryuu turned to face her as he replied with a smile of his own, ”Just now, how are you?”

”I am fine.”

”Sister Frozen Ocean, I was just saying to Ryuu that his eyes have almost returned to normal, so can please check them for me.”

Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she stepped close to Ryuu before she spoke with a nod, ”You are right until and unless someone does not look too closely you would not notice them.”

Her expression relaxed as she spoke, ”It was so scary for the first few days when it happened.”

Frost Flames nodded at her words as she spoke, ”You are right sister it was so scary seeing him collapse like that.”

As Frost Flames spoke Frozen Ocean��s mind went back to two years ago when they were trying to move out of the eighth level, it was a frightening experience for them.

~Flashback~

Frozen Ocean saw Ryuu take a few steps towards the gateway when she heard a loud roar, a roar that simply rattled her bones, a flash of red light followed by screaming of Frost Flames, who was holding Ryuu who looked like as if a puppet whose string had been cut.

Frozen Ocean looked over Frost Flames shoulder who was trying to bring him back to the consciousness but failed spectacularly, she was not the only one who was worried, as his entire group of friends felt their heart stop seeing him collapse like that.

”Sister Frost move carry him over we can help him better, move him out fast.”, as True-Spear bellowed out as Frost Flames quickly moved into action as she carried Ryuu into the Ninth Level.

None of the cultivators knew what had happened but a loud roar followed by a flash of red light had sent Ryuu comatose, as such they had all agreed that it was some form of trap that he had triggered which made him comatose and sick.

Ryuu had been running high temperature during the entire time as such the others quickly placed him in the most secure place they could think off, Ryuu had not only been the driving force but he was also the solver of various problems, not to mention he was strong an extremely strong cultivator but now all of a sudden he was comatose and no one knows when or if he would ever awaken.

Frost Flames sat by his side with a sad expression on her face, the others took turns to keep an eye on the duo and it just happened to be Zywia's turn.

Zywia sat beside Frost Flames as she gave her a hug, as she spoke, ”How are holding up?”

”I do not know what to do, last night he had an attack from the poison, Frozen was here to help me but then I realized something dreadful.”

A pit began to form in Zywia's stomach at that haunted look on Frost Flames face as she could not help but ask out, ”What is it, sister?”

”Do we know how he is keeping the poison in check?”, as Zywia shook her head Frost Flames continued with a dejected look on her face, ”Then he might not last long enough to get help, I do not know what I should do.”

Zywia's face turned deathly pale as the reality of the situation hit her, 'How is he going to survive when he is not even conscious without knowing the proper procedure we might not be able to help him.'
