Yasenia's group walked down the halls, looking around. Without the strangers, their pace was much quicker as they all knew who was in charge of their group. With a proper leader, it was very easy to clean the place of treasures. Yasenia pointed at a few corners to pick up so hidden items, but overall, they just followed Kali's senses to approach the Natural Treasure, making very few stops. The last thing they wanted was to reach there late and fail to get it after all this trouble.
Andrea rubbed her chin and comnted, fiddling with a sword she picked up from the side. "It feels that there was an ard conflict, right? If not, why would there be so many weapons and equipnt lying around?"
Evelyn agreed. "There was probably a revolution against the rulers of the place. Rember that man that Tatyana took? Why would he be in a random basent outside of the inner city? He seed to have either been locked there against his will or purposely locked himself away. Did he say anything about that, Tatyana?"
Tatyana shook her head, looking at the surroundings and checking for interesting things. "I haven't asked him. It's not that important either way. He also rembers little from when he was alive. While I've reinvigorated a large part of his dying soul with my Death Energy and energies of the Underworld, he has been dead for a long ti. Only basic mories remain."
Yasenia blinked. "That key must've been very important if he rembered how to use it?"
"Perhaps." Tatyana smiled. "As I said, I have ti to ask about his past in the future. Now, we should hurry and get Kali's treasure."
Ayanduin comnted. "I think I've found the path." He squinted, his spiritual sense mapping the castle's complex hallways. Then, he pointed diagonally upward and asked. "Kali, is it more or less in that direction?"
Kali was sowhat surprised, but she quickly nodded. "That's right."
"Great. Co with , we won't be stopping soon. Yasenia, rember the locations of the places where you detect important treasures.
With that, they all accelerated and followed the Sixth Realm cultivator. Speeding through the passageways, they arrived in front of a large door in a short ti. Once there, everyone was cautious and closely observed the surroundings.
Still, there were no hints of formations or other types of traps. With that in mind, Ayanduin walked forward and pushed the doors open, revealing the other side. A massively large circular room entered their sights. Large columns were embedded with gorgeous imagery on the walls.
Compared to everything else in this ruined world, this room seed pristine, as if not a single year had passed since it was built. The images of the walls, the floor, the furniture, everything glead with the reflections of the sunlight hitting them, polished beyond belief.
Then, in the middle of the room, they all noticed a single orb rotating with powerful natural energies. Kali muttered. "There it is."
Yasenia shouted to Gu Chen and Ayanduin, her tone hurried. "What are you standing there for!? Take it!" The dragoness's hurried tone was not without reason.
Both of them reacted and quickly rushed forward. However, as they were rushing, Yasenia felt a breeze pass her side. 'No…'
Her senses sharpened to the limits, managing to see the blurry figure of the one person she didn't want to see. The dragoness's gaze chilled as she said the na through her gritted teeth. "Lord Hurricane…!"
anwhile, Ayanduin and Gu Chen felt Lord Hurricane's presence right behind them, and they both accelerated to the limits. Such a small distance that they could cross in less than a blink of an eye now felt impossibly large as Lord Hurricane caught up to them.
The three of them, being side by side, extended their hands, wanting to catch the item first. Yet, Lord Hurricane's speed seed slightly faster as his fingertip touched the Natural treasure first, and he managed to snatch it away.
In the middle of the room, Gu Chen and Ayanduin were looking up with sowhat twisted expressions at the old man holding the Natural Treasure. Lord Hurricane humd. "So, this is the thing that you were searching for? Quite interesting. Why did you know that it was here, Yasenia?"
The dragoness saw the old man looking at her calmly, and she took a deep breath to calm her increasing anger as she imagined what was going to happen. "Lord Hurricane. That's a treasure that is very important to us. I hope that you honor the promise you made to
and give it to ."
Lord Hurricane smiled. "We separated, didn't we? There is no promise to fulfill after we split up."
Looking straight at Lord Hurricane, Yasenia's eyes gained an increasingly deep chill that made even the old man's expression gain a serious expression.
Yasenia stated, her voice cold. "You'll regret it if you don't. Give it to us, and we will disappear from this place."
Lord Hurricane smiled. "If you are willing to forgo everything for this treasure, then this treasure must be more valuable than everything else, right?"
"Wrong," Yasenia stated. "The only reason that item is more important to us is because we need it." Then, she said coldly. "Lord Hurricane. I am giving you one chance to give
that treasure, or I'll make this place vanish. If I can't have that thing…" Yasenia's tone beca ruthless and murderous. "...no one can."
Lord Hurricane raised his eyebrows. "Show , then, how you can do that. However, I warn you, the second you do sothing threatening… I'll kill you."
Ayanduin crossed his arms and said. "Old man. Stop trying to test her bottom line. If you do that, you'll die."
"Die?" Lord Hurricane was surprised.
