Lydia, Calista, and the Terror Queen looked at one another after hearing Corey's words, and Calista's eyes landed on the Terror Queen's injuries.
"Uhmm... Mr... I don't think she can walk very well."
Corey looked at the young girl whose na was exactly as that of the Manager of the Underworld Emporium.
He looked into her eyes, and he could see the imnse pain, fear, and hate that was in the depths of her soul.
Corey could understand why she had all these emotions, but what surprised him a little was that he could sense the little girl being fearful of him.
'Well... If I think about it, a Tier 1 girl like her would be afraid if she suddenly appeared in front of sobody whose eyes were completely white and whose beauty was beyond that of gods and Immortals alike.'
A small smile appeared on Corey's lips, and he reduced the output and range of his Eyes of Omniscience, which then led to the glow of his eyes reducing in its intensity.
He shifted his gaze from young Calista to the Terror Queen, and then he raised his right hand and a swirling ball that was made out of a violet and sky blue energy appeared above his palm.
The gaze of the Terror Queen, Lydia, and most especially, young Calista were glued on the ball, and Corey frowned because their reactions was not sothing he expected.
He could feel the Terror Queen, Lydia, and young Calista falling into sothing like a trance where they were dreaming and having a nightmare at the sa ti.
His Ears of Omniscience picked up on sothing, and he glanced to his left.
"I guess I have to hurry."
Corey approached the Terror Queen, and then he pushed the compressed ball of Dream Healing into her heart.
"That should heal her as ti goes by even without having to touch her."
Corey mumbled softly, and then he glanced at young Calista. Three seconds after Corey placed the ball of Dream Healing into the Terror Queen's heart, the expressions of the three won changed and they regained consciousness.
"Huh?"
The three won exclaid at the sa ti, but Corey turned and started walking.
"Let's go."
Lydia was the first person to follow after Corey the mont she saw him walking. In fact, she ran after him and walked close to his right hand.
Young Calista saw this and she was about to follow after Corey, but then she looked down at the corpse of her dead mother.
Her eyes beca moist and a conflicted expression appeared on her face. She turned towards Corey and was about to shout that she was not going to leave without her mother, but a dark grey light engulfed her mother's body, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished.
Her pupils shook and she snapped her head in Corey's direction but Corey waved his hand at her.
"I kept her for you. Now, follow or Kiefer is going to be sad."
The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked at where her mother's corpse used to be. She placed her hand there, and seeing that there was truly nothing there, she ran after Corey.
anwhile, the Terror Queen had already ran after Corey from the mont Lydia caught up with him.
She looked at the wounds on her chest which were slowly healing despite how severe it was. She could also feel her stamina returning back to her at an extrely fast speed, and even her drained ntal energy was returning back to her.
She felt completely energized, and she could not believe it. She touched her face, and the burning pain she had been feeling from the mont she was attacked by the demon that fought her was gone.
She looked at Corey, and although she had the urge to ask about her daughter, her mind was also occupied by how unfathomable Corey felt to her despite the fact that they were both Tier 3s.
Walking so close to Corey made her to realize that if Corey wanted to kill, she could not protect herself no matter what.
"Selene is alive."
That was all Corey said, and it was enough to ease the imnse worry that had been unknowingly eating at her mind.
'I guess I was right in following my instincts. If I had not done what I did, my daughter and I would be dead by now.'
A relieved smile appeared on the Terror Queen's lips, and then she looked at Corey's back before shifting her gaze to Lydia who stood directly beside Corey.
'I wonder who that woman is. She's just a Tier 2 but she's comfortable standing side by side with him. Even I don't feel comfortable walking by his side.'
The Terror Queen observed the expression of Lydia, and when she saw the look she was giving Corey, a bolt of realization hit her.
'A lover?... Haahh... My daughter. What have you been doing and how can you allow an unknown and weak Tier 2 to get this close to him?'
A disappointed expression appeared on the Terror Queen's face as she shook her head. She looked around, and she suddenly realized sothing that had been bothering her.
They had been walking for over ten minutes but they had not encountered an attack ever since.
They had gone through nurous corpses of Underworld officials, Underworld residents, Outsiders, and Demons, but they had never encountered a Demon, Underworld Official, Underworld resident, or even a single demon.
There were tis when she'll hear, feel, and even see the shockwaves and lights of several nearby battles, but no matter which direction Corey took, they always avoided an enemy.
Another thing that baffled her was the fact that despite the presence of so many Mystic Beings and demons that were comparable to Mystic Beings, they still did not sense them even when they were nearby.
She glanced at Lydia and young Calista, and she realized that none of them seed to have noticed this oddity.
She glanced at Corey, and he felt more unfathomable to her.
Approximately five minutes later, they stopped in front of an Underworld Elevator, but in front of the Underworld Elevator were hundreds of Underworld Officials along with a face she knew all too well.
The Manager of the Underworld Emporium, Calista.
