She was the Emperor’s…
She was entangled with the Emperor’s fate; there was no way she would do something like this.
Serene scoffed, walking out.
She did not want to see Alban anymore and was nothing but annoyed.
Yet upon getting to the gap in the wall of the abyss, she could vaguely make out a ball of faint light…
To be exact, it was a ball of light enveloped in an ominous-looking fog!
Serene could not really make out what it was, but the light made her feel a bone-chilling pressure for some reason. It was somehow similar to the pressure she had felt from Emperor Greenbow…
Who was it?
Serene saw the ball of light come closer and closer.
She suddenly caught sight of a head right underneath the ball of light, seemingly pushing the ball of light upwards along the walls of the abyss.
All of a sudden, the light disappeared. The fog surrounding it seemed to lose its direction, dispersing into the air.
The head also disappeared into the fog.
Serene stopped short, mumbling to herself, “Who’s that… why are they wrapped in such a bright light…”
Before she could finish, a terrifying face appeared in front of her!
The human head had gotten closer out of nowhere.
Serene screamed in terror, stumbling backwards before tripping, and almost falling down the abyss!
She reeled in shock and fury, glowering at the head.
The head’s mouth had been sewn shut, but a part of it was cracked open in a bone-chilling smile. The string pulled on her skin, making a line of blood trickle out.
It was terrifying!
Serene shouted, “Get lost! Don’t make me fight you…”
The human head did not seem scared at all, coming closer and closer. Serene somehow felt like she was going to get her mouth sewn shut.
Serene was pretty certain… Anything coming from the abyss would definitely be too powerful for her, and she also risked falling down the abyss while fighting.
She gripped her sword, wriggling on the floor. Gone was any of the arrogance from before as she stumbled backwards, wanting nothing more than to get away from the cliff.
Only for the head to stop and disappear again in the next second.
Serene blinked. The next second, a figure shot down from above the cliff, radiating a faint purple-green flow.
Serene could not really tell who it was from the gap, but her chest lurched in fright all the same. She crawled out, peeking beneath her…
The abyss seemed to look back.
Serene felt a wave of nausea and looked away at once. She was terrified that she might actually jump down if she looked any longer.
Alban had licked all the damp patches on the rocks in the cave. After that, he took out a bottle of water and a straw from his bag. He washed every patch before putting the water he used back into the bottle…
At last, he put the bottle of water he had used to wash all the patches in the cave carefully into his back, stowing it away like a precious treasure.
He finally went outside and saw the terrified look on Serene’s face.
“What’s the matter?” He asked.
He paused and hauled Serene over to sit down.
It was best to stay on her good side; this woman could travel between the mortal realm and the underworld as she pleased.
Serene did not want to talk to him, shuddering in disgust at the image of him licking the rocks just now as she shouted, “Don’t touch me!”
Just as she said the words, her vision dimmed!
A figure appeared in front of the gap!
The person’s features were blurred, making it hard to see his face. His robes were loose and baggy, covering his figure and making it hard to see his build as well.
Serene’s gaze narrowed. “You…”
Alban sensed danger. Before he could let go of Serene, she grabbed his clothes.
D*mn it, he had even been planning to,
If this mystery person who appeared out of nowhere tried to kill them, he would push Serene to the front and give himself a little more time to escape.
The two of them froze, staring at each other in terror.
The mystery person raised his hand, and Serene appeared in his grasp!
She was hanging in the air, supported only by her neck.
Serene struggled with all her might but could only flail around uselessly like a rag doll.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” The mystery person tightened his grasp, his gaze devoid of emotion.
Serene could not speak, grabbing the arm holding her up tightly with her hands…
The mystery person frowned.
He loosened his grasp, repeating his question. “Where did you come from?”
In a fit of panic, Serene blurted out Blake’s name.
“I’m… I’m the daughter of Emperor Prosper! Y-You can’t kill me…”
The mystery person let go, and Serene fell to the ground!
She almost wept with relief. Thank god that had worked…
Sure enough, Emperor Prosper’s name was still useful…
Just as Serene was heaving a sigh of relief, she huffed in indignance. Why couldn’t she be the real daughter of Emperor Prosper?
