Chapter 109: The Bonds of Friendship (1/2)

Twenty minutes later, Caspian and his brother had barely healed up.

They were only able to move, but it was enough for them.

Previously, they had tried to go to the surface, but their body status denied them that chance.

However, they weren't distraught.

Judging by the tremors they had been hearing for quite some time, if they had gone to the surface, they would have died without even knowing.

Moreover, they had a task to do!

Caspian and his brother jerked their bones as they looked at the tall wall that blocked the rift from their sight.

Due to the battle that occurred here, it was already cracking and when Conan pressed it, it crumbled like a sandcastle, revealing the rift behind it.

As soon as the wall crumbled, the two brothers rained an array of attacks on the zombies that were escaping from the rift.

This temporarily cleared the surrounding from zombies, but the two brothers knew more would still come.

”We can't do anything,” remorse Conan.

They had been warned when they took over their duties to never let the rift fully opened.

Yet, here they were, looking at an open rift!

The reason for such a stern warning was because when a rift was fully opened, it could never be closed back.

Their ancestors had risked their entire lives to close the rift back in their day. This was only possible because they were stronger than the current king and his men.

Even after that, the person that closed the rift wasn't them, but a very strong cultivator that came from the central continent, which was filled with amazing cultivation resources, necessary for breeding cultivators.

The two brothers could explain how they currently felt.

They knew they had no power to resist the outpour of zombies. They were even lucky that they had not encountered any zombies that they couldn't fight against.

Conan nudged his brother from his sorrowful wallow.

”What?” asked Caspian with soul-less eyes.

As a king, he felt the full brunt of this disaster.

He had failed his duties.

He had failed his family.

What had he not failed?

It seemed that anything he touched was bound to be destroyed!

Noticing Caspian's vacant stares, Conan softly muttered, ”I know that look in your eye. It isn't time for that. We are not done yet. You are better than this. There is so much that we can still do!”

He offered to his depressed brother, ”Let's start with temporarily relieving those above from the rift. I'm sure our army is there fighting with their lives. We have to do something.”

Conan managed to make Caspian remembered something as the latter stood up and rubbed his ring, bringing out many blue crystals that contrasted with the color of the rift

Seeing this sight, Conan breathed as he knew what his brother planned, ”Azure Halldumene…..”

He knew what his brother planned to do.

Caspian walked closer to the rift, stepping on the broken decapitated heads of the zombies while doing so.

Marking a good distance between him and the rift, Caspian stopped in his track.

He wasn't dumb to move closer to the rift. He had seen some of his soldiers do so, and it didn't end well for them.

One by one, Caspian threw the holy crystals inside the rift.

By the time he was done, screams could be heard at the outside of the rift, and he didn't need anyone to tell him why.

The rift became unstable as it continuously changed size. One second, it is smaller. The other second, it is tiny. The next second, it is back to shape.

Looking at it, Caspian smiled as he had accomplished what he came here for.

Now, there wouldn't be any zombies in the meantime.

Before coming down here, he had prepared the crystal in case things spiraled out of control, and now, he was right to do so.

During his fight with Talon, he was almost tempted to use the crystals against him but decided not to as it wouldn't stop the main problem.

Moreover, Talon's Netheran side was astonishingly strong and Caspian didn't know whether it would effectively stop the Second Evil or not.

His guess was that it wouldn't!

Looking at his current action, there was no doubt that he had made the correct decision.

After stopping the rift, the two brothers limped to the surface.

The channel they took directed them to the throne hall in the palace, the exact place where the Eden's Garden was beneath.

After they had gotten to their destination, the two brothers found the place deserted, not even a single soul was there.
