Chapter 1806 “Path to Escape (2)”
Since this time Bai Yan has raised the point.
Maybe……
They could try?
“Okay, what do you need father here to do?” Heavenly slightly nods as affirmation.No matter what kind of attempt Bai Yan makes, as a father, he must support her.
“No need, I’m just giving it a try, I don’t know if it will work out.”
Casually raising her hand, Bai Yan summons her Godslayer out and wields it with grace as she locked onto the sky.
Immediately……
A light blade suddenly shot out of the sword and flew towards the open blueness.
If at first she didn’t pay attention to the blue sky here then that changed the moment she felt that sinking sensation. She clearly saw the rippling in that ceiling. It’s like a curtain, an illusionary mirage to blind their eyes from reality, that’s why she’s able to figure out the exit must be up there and not on the ground.
Rip~So it’s like that….
Exactly like Bai Yan suspected, the second her energy blade made contact with the ceiling, it ripped apart down the middle in the same manner as a canvas being sliced.
Both individuals revealed an uncontrolled joy on their faces at the sight. Even if countless monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky and surrounded them in the middle, it still didn’t dampen their delight for they knew the direction has been found!
“These are all flying monsters, one of them… it’s at the Divine Lord rank like me Yan Yan.” Heavenly’s expression grew solemn at the sight of the creature, but his lips remained smiling nevertheless.
How powerful was the owner of this ancient ruin? They must be much stronger than I am if they’re able to control puppets at the level of a monarch like myself….
“Father, my instincts were right, the way to leave this ruin is through the ceiling, but…” Clutching her Godslayer, Bai Yan’s lip arcs into a smirking grin, “it looks like we won’t be able to leave so easily. That big one up there is clearly the final boss in charge of guarding the ruins!”
Father isn’t entirely wrong it seems about his theory of defeating all these puppets. It’s likely the exit will show itself anyways once we defeat the final wave regardless, we merely accelerated the process.
“Yan Yan, I’ll handle the strongest one up there, can you stall the rest while I fight?”
Although the other monsters are not as strong as himself, but they’re no small fries either. At the very least, the rest are very close to being Divine Lord level monsters too. Then coupled with the weaker creatures further out of the encirclement, this horde was nothing to scoff at.
“I can handle it.” Bai Yan’s voice sounded unyielding and powerful.
If there’s only one way out of this place, she would face any enemy and never back down.
“Hahaha!” Heavenly bellows out a hearty laugh and grinned with pride.
“That’s my daughter. In this life, I can ask for no better. My only regret is not being able to give you and your mother what you both deserve, but now I can at least do this much to redeem myself a bit.”
Seeing the flying monsters getting closer and closer, Heavenly gives one final glance at that perfect face to sear the image into his mind. He doesn’t want to let this go, but he also knows the risk he’s taking today. He might not survive to see another day if things don’t pan out.
“But don’t worry Yan Yan, your father I will make sure you somehow get out of here. Even if it means being buried here for good, nothing will keep me from being a parent.”
He owes her too much that not even a lifetime would be enough to compensate. What’s more, she’s his only daughter, someone who’s suffered so much because of his own folly in the past. Simply dying was the least he could do as a failure of a parent.
