Chapter 441 - Putting a lid on a jar(Part-1) (1/2)

”Are you hanging there Ryuu?”

Ryuu could only give a weak nod before he began still for a moment before he spoke in a whisper, ”Something changed.”

As True-Spear looked down towards him as Ryuu continued to speak, ”It feels as if our escapee fled through a gate but that is impossible, the gate is in a completely different direction.”

”But then how did she manage to travel through one, it doesn't make sense.”

True-Spear's brow furrowed in deep thought as he spoke, ”Something is not right? Are you sure that it is not some kind of hallucination that your brain might have conjured?”

Ryuu bit his lips as he spoke, ”I am absolutely positive that I am not hallucinating, and if I am not wrong we would learn the reason soon enough.”

True-Spear bit his lips as he spoke, ”Is there a possibility that there is a second gate.”

”' Expect the unexpected', that was what I had been told about this place so there might be a chance there can be multiple gates.”

”That is scary.”

”Incredibly so in the previous level at least we were able to figure out when they were about to pop in but now if it turns to be true it would spell disaster for us as such please hurry.”

As Ryuu spoke he raised one of his fingers which glowed briefly before he let out a relaxed sigh making True-Spear a bit confused as he spoke, ”What did you do?”

A slight cough Ryuu began to speak in a hoarse voice, ”I just sealed the gate to prevent them from entering this level.”

His trusted flask appeared in his hand as he took a sip soothing his throat as a bewildered True-Spear spoke with a touch of amazement in his voice, ”How did you manage to do that? I have never heard of anyone manipulating the gates before.”

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke with a grin, ”Who said that I manipulated the Gates, it is simply beyond my ability to do so.”

True-Spear was now utterly confused as he spoke, ”But then you said that you sealed it.”

Ryuu let out a chuckle as he spoke, ”Brother what I did was to put a tight lid over the gate that would prevent them from passing through it for some time at the least, time that we desperately need after today's incident since we lost a few good cultivators today.”

”So true.”, with that silence descended amongst the duo as they moved towards their destination.

Meanwhile back with others, Frost Flames had woken up soon after Ryuu had left along with True-Spear as she tried to sit Zywia helped, ”Easy there sister you were injured grievously, please do not strain yourself.”

As she groggily opened her eyes as she was greeted with the sight of others Frozen Ocean looking at her with a smile on her face, ”Welcome back you gave us quite the scare.”

The memories of her battle and subsequent getting injured hit her as she quickly spoke, ”What happened did we lose and are we now captive? I thought I felt Ryuu's presence.”

Frozen Ocean simply smiled at her as she spoke, ”There is no need to worry we are safe, we have won.”

Hearing that Frost Flames was dumbstruck as she spoke, ”We won how our situation was not that good, how did we manage to win?”

”It was all thanks to your beloved sister frost, seeing you like that enraged him so much that he wiped the majority of them out single-handedly.”

Frost Flames turned her head to look at Zywia as she spoke, ”I felt for a moment as if Ryuu was holding me, so I was not wrong.”

Zywia nodded at that as she spoke with a small smile, ”Yes he was holding and then he got immensely angry with them and killed the majority of them with a single attack.”

At her answer, Frost Flames head swivelled trying to locate her as Frozen Ocean spoke to him with a sigh, ”You will not find him, there was a hidden enemy who was observing us as such he along with your brother True-Spear left to catch her.”

Zywia snorted at that as she spoke, ”Like they would be able to catch her she was using the 'Blood mist escape technique', chasing after her would be pointless.”
