Death... and me
chapter-2533

?'Fuhiro, stop wasting my Divine Energy and take her,' the voice continued.

Rean wasn't really surprised with all of that. The moment Aelrie recognized Fuhiro, Rean understood that Fuhiro was part of everything happening with Aelrie and the Azum Dimensional Realm.

The reason was simple: He, Kentucky, and Aelrie had traveled in the Azum Dimensional Realm for a long time, covering a staggering long distance. Yet, Fuhiro, who without a doubt arrived much later, was already in this place. The only way such a thing was possible was if he could teleport. Yet, there are no such things as teleport formations here, so how did he do it? Naturally, he had help from whoever was in the City.

Fuhiro sighed and flew forward. "Don't worry, Aelire. Once we leave, you won't remember anything about this. You can go back to your father, and I can still be your Uncle."

Yet, it was at this moment that Lotar exploded with Dark Red Flames. Without holding back, he attacked from outside the City Wall range, aiming at Fuhiro not too far from him. As mentioned before, the barrier that stops the Shadow Ferals only extended a kilometer from the City Wall, which was nothing for a Divinity Realm expert in normal circumstances.

Yet, the barrier was there, so it immediately activated, forcing Lotar's attack back and attacking him back with a huge power of Light Element. Yet, Lotar didn't care. He forced forward, putting his life on the line to take Aelrie back.

"Shit!" Fuhiro saw the powerful beast coming his way, practically committing suicide to get rid of him. Immediately, he released his full power, flying in another direction to avoid Lotar. Even that entity in the City seemed to be wary of Lotar and focused on the power of the City Wall Barrier on him.

*Boom!*

Lotar was finally knocked back, spilling black blood as he shot like a bullet back into the Chasm. He was obviously quite seriously injured. Yet, there was only a faint smile on his face.

"Hehe! You shouldn't forget your objective." It was at this moment that Rean's voice reached everyone's ears. Immediately, Fuhiro and the entity in the City looked in his direction, just in time to see Rean and Kentucky releasing a type of energy they had never seen before. It was sky blue and far surpassed the strength of what an Initial Stage Space-Time Realm expert could use.

Rean and Kentucky charged out of the entity's influence near the City Wall, spending pretty much all the Sky Energy they had finally managed to recover.

"No!" Fuhiro turned around and charged in their direction as well. However...

*Roar!*

Immediately, countless Shadow Ferals appeared in front of him, ready to attack as soon as Fuhiro stepped out of the City Wall Range. They wanted nothing more than to release their anger on him. Yet, the same Light Element from the City Wall barrier seemed to block Fuhiro, impeding him from going out. 'Calm down, she has nowhere to go. No one can leave the Chasm,' said the voice from the City.

Still, that entity looked at Rean and Kentucky behind the Shadow Ferals with surprise. Even though he redirected some of the barrier's power to stop Lotar, the power holding Rean and Kentucky should have been far more than enough to hold those two in place.

Finally, he looked at Fuhiro. 'Forget it. Come back to the City.'

Fuhiro was unwilling, but he could only do as he was told.

Kijia arrived on his side, smiling. "It's fine, Fuhiro. We got her once; we can get her again." Obviously, she didn't try to do anything. With her cultivation, she would only throw herself to her death if she tried to stop Rean and Kentucky.

Fuhiro nodded and grabbed Kijia with his Divine Energy before shooting upwards, leaving the Chasm sometime later.

Meanwhile, Rean and Kentucky were now truly in a dire spot. Sure, they escaped the entity of the City and Fuhiro, who they felt to be the most dangerous ones. Yet, they were now in the midst of thousands of Shadow Ferals... and they didn't look very happy in seeing them there.

Fortunately, Aelrie stepped forward. "All of you, if I'm really your Queen, then follow my orders and stand down. I won't allow any of you to touch them!"

Some of the less intelligent Shadow Ferals didn't seem very willing to do that, though. It's not that they wouldn't follow the orders of the Queen, but that Aelrie was still with her Bloodline sealed. To them, she still looked just an angel.

"All of you, get back." Fortunately, someone they absolutely couldn't ignore arrived. It was Lotar, who moved quite slowly while trying to recover from his injuries.

The Shadow Ferals finally nodded and got away, but they continued close, looking straight at Rean and Kentucky as if they were enemies.

Rean and Kentucky weren't very relieved. With his power, Lotar could totally deal with them on his own. Even if he was injured, he still had a lot of his energy reserves, while Rean and Kentucky used pretty much everything they had.

Aelrie kept her cold face. The so-called deal didn't happen in the end, so what if Lotar forced her to reproduce with other Shadow Ferals right here and now? "What will you do to me?"

Lotar shook his head. "You are our Queen; I told you that. Your orders are absolute... as long as you unseal your Bloodline. Until then, you are just another Angel to me." He then pointed at Rean and Kentucky. "That said, their lives depend on your decision."

Rean and Kentucky looked at each other. They could say something heroic like 'Aelrie didn't need to worry about them' or something like that. Yet, it wasn't like they wanted to die here either. "Ahem... It's just a bloodline. It's not like you will cease to be you, right?"

Aelrie's mouth twitched a little. Weren't they the ones putting their lives on the line a moment ago for her? Why did they change so suddenly? Well, she owed them a lot, so she could only accept. "Fine! Since this is my own Bloodline, I want to see what it is about."
