Chapter 299 (2/2)
Without saying word, Y’zaks grabbed the ball and threw it to the other side. Presto! It landed where Y’zaks had intended it to without mowing down Hessiana.
Without the Mist Shroud Barrier, Lily could see her tail puffing up. She scurried over to the other side like her tail was on fire while Hao Ren and Y’zaks followed her closely behind. They all escaped from the temple and hustled on the cloud trail back to the hill.
But what they were about to see left them astonished:
The light film connecting to the Surface World was gone.
Hessiana jumped, her voice shivering in fear. “The dimensional door is closed!”
“Something happened on the other side.” Zeon quickly thought of a likely situation. “Someone wants to keep us in here!”
“Who would want to do that?” Hao Ren stared at the two vampires. Both vampires said in unison, “Too many of them.”
The dimensional door was closed and the other dimension was ravaged with a violent energy storm, which was worsening with time. Nangong Wuyue’s face looked terrible and the scales on her tail were quickly losing their lustre. The Mist Shroud Barrier had shrunken so much that Hao Ren and Y’zaks were no longer within its protection. Not even professional support could hold on any longer.
The energy storm had reached a lethal level. Hao Ren and Y’zaks aside, not even Hessiana could withstand it—even for a few more seconds. In fact, Nangong Wuyue’s Mist Shroud Barrier was a defensive skill she inherited from her forefathers, without which she would not have survived till this moment.
Perhaps Vivian could hold on longer with her own strength, but the energy storm showed no signs of slowing down. Instead, it was increasing in intensity.
Lily pulled Vivian by her sleeve and yelled, “It’s all your fault! You told the story about Cerberus being cooked by the demon hunters! Now, I’m being cooked!”
“Wait a second, I have an idea.” Hao Ren took out the MDT and glanced at Zeon as well as Hessiana with a very strange expression. “Actually, I was doing some recording just now…”
The MDT emitted a faint, blue glow. Space under the glow began to warp and a layer of light film appeared as if by force.
Hessiana looked at Hao Ren, widemouthed. “You made an excuse so that you could watch the altar…”
Feeling embarrassed, Hao Ren turned his face away. “It’s nothing malicious. I was just saving it for when we need it the most…”
“Let’s not talk about that now.” Zeon waved with his hand. He glanced at Vivian and Hao Ren, understanding the message. Then, he walked up to the light film and crossed it to the other side.
They finally escaped from the hellish dimension and got back to the Parthenon.
However, it was also a mess there. Dead bodies of Blood Clan members were everywhere.
Hessiana and Zeon’s faces were grim: the fallen ones were all their trusted men!
“Mistress…” a weak voice came from a close distance. It was the male vampire whom Hessiana sent to the Lucas Family the other day. He leaned his hand against a pillar and pointed to the altar that was used for the entry ceremony. “Bethanos snatched the key…”
