She was alone in the area. The wind ruffles the edges of her white clothes and she could sll the scent of destruction all around.
Her hand is still trembling. Even though most of her external injuries had been healed, her internal injuries did not
This did not an that she had internal injuries like normal person. When people below Disk Formation spoke of internal injuries, they ant the injuries in their inside organs.
But when levelers in the level of Disk Formation said that they suffer internal injuries, this refers to the injury to their core energy
And damage that is afflicted to their Disks. The fight with Loki drained her and a few of her Disks has cracked.
So of them are even on the verge of breaking entirely.
If it truly breaks, Sasha would have to spend another few years to forge back her Disk. Of course, she holds back these injuries from showing.
The mont her subordinate all flew away, slowly energy leaked out from her, the energy returning back to the world.
Even though she is only a Disk Formation leveler, her type of injuries is like the effect of injury for Divine Comprehension leveler.
This might be related to her own understanding of her path.
It is a pity that she herself is not a Divine Comprehension leveler. If not, she could easily capture Loki.
But there is no “What If?’ in an operation.
She took this ti to calm down her heart and settle down her stormy thoughts right now. She tries not to let this failure weaken her.
Sasha close her eyes and takes a deep breath.
Then she opens her eyes looks at the sky and sighed
‘I’m sorry Nathan. I am too weak.’
She is sad. That is her true feelings right now. The simple emotion of being sad. There is nothing complicated about this feeling.
But Sasha did not exactly show any signs of being sad. She did not cry. There are no tears falling down from her eyes.
She does not seem to suffer any pain of sadness at all.
She appears calm and unlike soone who had just lost a person she knows.
She did not share deep connection with Nathan. But Nathan is an acquaintance that Sasha knows deeply. They were not friends.
But they do talk to each other.
While their eting is brief, they do shares so similarities.
And maybe it is because they share that similarities, that there is part of her heart, that felt sad for that man
Both are people who lived in the darkness and see the evil in the world
Both yearned for the light. She felt like he is a compatriot of hers. But she did not cry. Crying would not solve her problem.
And she could not break down.
Not at this mont. Maybe, when she had a little break ti, she would go to Sina place, drink so tea and cry there.
Or maybe, she would ask for so rest day and went to so beautiful island so she could unwind herself and cry for a few hours there.
People would forget sotis that behind that cold expression of hers, there is still flesh and blood.
There is still a heart beating there. She’s human. She felt all the emotions that any other person experienced.
It is just that she could not afford the luxury of breaking down. Before the Fall, she is quite a normal person
It is only after the Fall and the circumstances that surrounded her, that forces her to change
She would love to unleash all of her emotion and just cry until all that is in her heart is released.
But not now.
She only sighed. A few more minutes passes like she is observing a mont of silence for Nathan
and then she flies up into the air, flying with full speed toward Pandemonium Central Palace.
Her eyes are full of determination as her speed increased.
At the sa ti, Loki appears inside a cave on an island near Pandemonium.
The golden light that swirls around him slowly dissipated as the teleportation channel also turns into motes of light
As he familiarizes his body after that sensation of being sucked away, he realizes that soone is looking at him.
That soone is a woman wearing a red smiling demon mask.
There is protruding horns on each side of the mask. Loki however did not pay attention to the mask.
Instead, he looks at the bracelet that woman is wearing. The bracelet is cracked. And it seems that it would not be long before that bracelet falls apart.
‘Trisha, that was a little late’ Loki said.
Trisha nodded.
‘At the last mont, there is a spatial storm that pas by this island. It created so interference with the teleportation channel and my lord location. But, it is still under the ti requirents’
Loki nodded
‘Well, I could not complain that much. I expected such things to happen. After all, the world is not yet finished in expanding. A few spatial and energy storms every few hours is not that uncommon. Fortunately, I put it in my calculations. If not, I would be in quite an awkward predicant. But, I do have a streak of bad luck today’
Trisha however did not seem to hear what Loki is saying. Instead she is looking left and right, expecting soone else to co out.
Loki tilt his head to the right and he chuckles.
‘Worried about Riana?’
She nodded. Loki then said
‘Don’t let start with her. She had a child. Did you know that?’ Loki ask as he look straight at Trisha eyes
Hidden underneath that mask, Trisha face expression changes.
She shakes her head.
‘No, I did not. She never told she had a child’
‘Did she told you she got married with the Broker?’
‘What!’ this ti Trisha is really surprised. A child could be said a mistake in the mont. A marriage however…is a different thing entirely.
She knew Riana. If she had slept with soone and in that process getting a child, she did not need to marry that person. But she will raise that child.
Because she is always the romantic. She wanted to be a mother. So people when they are abandoned, they either do not want to be a mother, fearing that they would repeat the mistake of their predecessor
But there are also so people who were abandoned who wanted to beco a mother, to compensate for that feeling of never having a mother
Since they know the pain of being abandoned, being unwanted and being unneeded, they beco more compassionate
But marriage? This an that Riana love that man. This is now complicated.
Loki seen Trisha eyes and he could see that she was as just as shocked as him. She is still not good enough at lying as him. And that made him smile
‘Nathalie’ he said.
‘What? Trisha said
‘She nad her daughter Nathalie. For the nun’
Hearing this Trisha shakes her head.
‘a closest thing she had to a mother. That is what she said to once’
Loki nodded and then looking at the bleak dark cave he exhales.
‘Let’s go out from the cave and sll so fresh air’ Trisha then raise her eyebrows and said
‘What about all of this formation?’ Loki look around the cave and he could see all kinds of magic circle carved on the walls, the ground and the ceiling of the large cave.
There are more runes inside these magic circles.
All of them had dimd and seems like it has been worn down. The use of such teleportation channel that fold space and ti does take a lot of juice.
But Loki had a lot of things in his arsenal other than just these runes.
It would hurt his reputation if he did not at least have this much trump card when he is Sovereign in his original tiline.
While so of his knowledge is restricted and so of which he did not rember because of the splitting of his own self, what he knew still outstripped many of other people.
And he had the advantage of stockpiling stuff since before the Ti Crisis
Being the Regent of Pandemonium, a lot of thing that is hard for him to procure made easier.
So of the runes that has been used to strengthen the matrixes had dissipated when Loki was sucked into the teleportation channel.
He thinks for a while what he should do and then he shakes his head
‘Leave it here’ He said. Trisha looks at him weirdly.
Even though Loki could not see the expression on Trisha face right now, he is quite sure she is raising her eyebrows on him
‘Leave it here?’
‘What if the Shadow Guards found it?’
Loki chuckles and said
‘That is what I intended to do’
And then a look of understanding dawned on Trisha
‘Wait. My lord…you want them to find this formation?’ Loki nodded as he walks toward the entrance of the cave
‘It is fine for them to try to learn this. Even though the runes had been used and so of the matrixes circles is hard to decipher, I am quite sure Sasha would figure it out sooner or later’
