Chapter 179: Lightless Mash (2/2)
He can feel his feet clinging by the end of a cliff or some sort which mark the water becomes deep, 'No wonder, she must've slipped'
They then try to circle around the place and manage to find another shallow water.
Because of the incident before, they proceed their journey with extreme caution knowing that there is deep water here and there must be something down there.
It doesn't make sense if nothing lives in these waters.
After walking for a couple of hours, ”We need to find a shelter, it will be bad if we have to rest in this kind of terrain”, Rex said.
Hearing this, Liliya nodded her head in agreement.
The place is filled with mutated beasts, but many of them for some reason only look at them from the side without attacking them.
It's like they're afraid of the murky water, and they prefer jumping from tree to tree.
Rex and Liliya are thankful because of this, they don't need to fight mutated beasts that will attract stronger ones.
It will be bad if they attract other stronger ones, and it will be worst if they meet Supernatural here.
Finding a shelter here proves to be difficult,
Nothing like some land or even a rock that they can sit on came to their vision, only endless swamps with dead black trees filled this place.
”There! We probably can rest there”, Liliya said while pointing at a tree.
The tree is thicker and bigger than the others, and it will certainly be able to sustain both of them.
They then climb up the tree after Rex clears the big three,
As they observe before, the mutated animals here like to jump from tree to tree so for this big tree they're currently on there are many mutated bugs, lizards, and other animals that need to be cleared before they rest.
”I'll keep a watch for the night, you go on ahead”, Rex said.
He doesn't need sleep as normal humans do, so keeping a watch for him will be easy.
Liliya didn't argue as she touch her arm before a red mark appeared, she then also put another red mark on Rex's arm before a notification appeared.
<Stats has been increased by 20
After doing that, Liliya lie down on one of the branches and closed her eyes.
The journey here is tiring, and she even waits for Rex for days in the Great Barricade so that must've made her tired.
'Let's just meditate then', Rex thought before he closes his eyes.

Meanwhile, Faraday University.
Kyran is currently meditating using the breathing technique given by Rex, he's intoxicated by the feeling of getting more powerful.
He's sitting on the bed while closing his eyes while Ryze is lying on the corner.
Ryze already came back from the infirmary and he already recovered from the incident before, but he still feel afraid of being close to Kyran.
That is why he's on the corner of the room with a pillow.
He doesn't want to sleep in the same bed as Kyran fearing that Kyran will hit him again,
There is another bedroom inside Rex's spacious top-ranker room, but Ryze still hasn't asked permission from Rex yet so he can't sleep there.
Ryze can only sleep in the corner of the room with a meek look,
If someone was to see this, they will be pity Ryze to live with a group of Werewolf that he doesn't even realize yet.
On the other room,
Adhara is sitting on her bed meditating,
She looks graceful sitting on her bed while the moonlight illuminating her, but then her eyes tremble as she opened them.
After opening her eyes, she slam her body on the bed feeling tired.
She touches the bedsheet on her side feeling weird that Rex is not here, and she is all alone in this huge bedroom.
Adhara then started to play with her fire elements to improve her control.
The purple fire blaze on her hand beautifully like a dancing beauty, she tries to condense the purple fire into a ball shape but she suddenly frowns.
She tries to condense it more but it is so hard, she can only condense it to as big as a volleyball that is still not enough.
Feeling that this is a challenge, she sits up and tries to condense it.
The frown on her forehead becomes even evident as she tries to condense it, but the purple fire refuses to as if they didn't want to be condensed.
Adhara tries for almost half an hour before she finally gets the hang of it.
'This time, I think I can do it', she thought before she summon her purple fire again.
The purple fire dances on her hand before it turns ball-shaped, then Adhara grit her teeth and tries to condense the purple fireball smaller.
Her hand started to tremble as she desperately tries to reduce its size.
The purple fire resisted heavily unwanting to get anymore condense than it already is, but Adhara forced it even more.
When suddenly,
SWISH!!
The purple fireball is condensed as small as a tennis ball, and it started to glow brightly.
Adhara's interest was piqued as she look at the glowing purple fireball, she never saw this happening to her element before.
She tries touching it when suddenly,
BOOM!!
The purple fireball exploded burning Adhara and the bedsheet, it shocked Adhara for a second because of how sudden it is.
CLANK!
Adhara recovers from the explosion as she kills the burning purple flame.
She fans the smoke from the burn bedsheet away before suddenly she saw something, there is a purple stone that appeared on the bed suddenly.
From the energy it emitted, the stone is definitely created by Adhara's element.
Adhara takes the stone and brought it closer to her face, she studied it for a minute before she widened her eyes in shock, 'This is...'
