469 Could Do Better Than Scream (1/2)

”Almost done, Mei Mei! Fight and bear with it some more. We should be able to leave soon!” Wei Jiayi said with delight as he saw the crack above the giant fireball getting bigger.

And like so, seconds continued to tick by as Wei Jiayi, and Blessed Juni attempted to destroy their giant cage.

Gao Lan Mei shook her head as she smiled sadly, ”Jiayi, in case we-”

Buzz!

Baaangg!!

The continuous sounds of explosions were heard throughout the entire Shizi Empire. Whatever Gao Lan Mei wanted to say was halted when Wei Jiyai and Blessed Juni's attacks that were flying towards the sky suddenly burst when they hit something. The aura of the conflicting spiritual energy spread into the air even reached them.

Blessed Elin was quick enough to create a thin ice wall before the blast caused them any damage.

The ice was created from her meager amount of remaining spiritual energy. Thus, she was thankful that it was enough to protect them.

Gao Shen's heart caught in his throat as he prepared to jump in front of his brother to save him in case the blast reached their place. Then, when the ice walls suddenly showed up, he was relieved.

However, his eyes opened up wider upon discovering something terrible.

”B-Blessed! Your… Your… Your form?!” Gao Shen stuttered almost terrified as he knew how important Blessed Elin was to them. He was already weak, and there was no way he could protect himself from the Impurities in case it made its way towards them.

'Where is help when you need it?!' He cursed to himself as the incident happened just when his seniors left the Empire.

Then Gao Shen realized that it was probably for the best since he did not want anyone else to suffer the same traumatizing experience they were experiencing now.

Gao Lan Mei swallowed her saliva as she nervously looked at Blessed Elin's spirit that was almost completely faded. She could feel her own strength depleting as well, and whatever was inside her was winning the fight to control her body.

She bit her lower lip to the point of bleeding to stop herself from releasing any form of noise that would confirm that she was in so much pain.

'This is still not unbearable. This is nothing compared to the time I arrived at this place! Endure!' Gao Lan Mei reminded herself with her determination. She wanted to do so much more. So much that even though she felt like dying multiple times, she still wanted to see how far she could go.

”Elin! You need to hold on!” Blessed Juni yelled before she complained inside her head.'If we could have another Blessed, this would have been much easier!'

With a glare, the other Blessed responded, ”I could, I could have done it!” Blessed Elin knew that her spiritual energy was near zero. When that time came, she would return to the Beyond, the city of Gods, without accomplishing anything.

Blessed Elin also knew that her pride did not matter. Her responsibility was to save the beings who were still alive until they got out of the Shizi Empire. If she disappeared, there was no way anyone would survive!

'At least, I can still protect them, even if it's the last time.' She thought, her will to continue fighting blazed in her frozen heart.
