Chapter 74
"Her body is a mess...Even the God ranked recovery pill is only able to hold back the 'blood' but not expel it completely." Said Omis with a frown.
Stepping closer to Omis, Addi kneeled in front of Lu Lu and checked her pulse from her hand, his expression quickly became serious before he turned to look at Omis and shook his head.
"I'm sorry brother, I'm afraid I do not know how to help little Lu Lu..." He said with a pained expression on his face.
Hearing that Omis's face fell as he gazed at Lu Lu with a gentle expression, gently caressing her cheek with a sad smile. Feeling the somber mood Leyla who was always so energetic couldn't help but feel downcast as she turned away unable to keep watching.
Silas who was next to her gently patted her head and gave her a warm reassuring smile before he stepped forward and spoke.
"I may not be able to help your disciple, but I know someone who can." He said.
Hearing that, Omis's ears perked up as he turned to look at him. Addi remained silent yet his eyes still held a hint of distrust as he stared at Silas.
"And who would that person be master Silas." Asked Omis, his hands still gently holding the unconscious Lu Lu.
"The Alchemist."
Silas only said one word yet when Omis and Addi heard it both of their expressions changed.
"Are you talking about 'THE' Alchemist?" Asked Omis.
"Indeed master Omis, only one person is worthy of holding that title." Replied Silas with a nod.
"They survived?" Unconsciously asked Addi.
Giving another nod of confirmation, Silas continued.
"Yes, it's not surprising really considering 'her' capabilities. Ever since the 'Awakening' her skills only seemed to increase."
"The alchemist? Are you talking about that super famous, number one alchemist of the heavenly realm Uncle~?" Asked Leyla in curiosity.
Giving her another gentle smile, Silas gently ruffled her head causing her to frown before he continued.
"That would be correct, 'she' was always a bit of an eccentric person never joining any guild but rather focusing all her time to further study the art of alchemy, refining all manners of heavenly pills and treasures."
"Didn't she perish in the war?" Asked Addi skeptical.
"That is incorrect since her fighting prowess is not as great as the likes of you White Devil, once she knew that the war was doomed, she came to me asking for assistance to withdraw from the Heavenly realm."
"Hmph, another coward. How disappointing." Harrumphed Addi before refraining himself from saying anything else.
"Don't mind him master Silas, do you perhaps know where The alchemist is at?" Asked Omis in a hopeful tone.
"Indeed I do master Omis, she went into hiding in the mortal realm as well." Answered Silas, not bothering with Addi's remark.
"Great! Then-"
*BOOOOOM*
Unable to finish his sentence, a massive explosion rocked the entire mountain causing small debris to fall down the safe room.
"What the hell was that?!" Asked Leyla.
Before anyone could react, an impossibly deep voice boomed down in the ears of everyone present.
"THERE IS NOWHERE YOU CAN RUN TO THIS TIME! GET OUT HERE OR I'LL DESTROY THIS DAMN MOUNTAIN!"
Hearing the voice, Omis turned to look at Addi who glanced back at him.
"It's that bastard." Said Addi with a somber expression.
Standing up, Omis gently picked Lu Lu and carried her over to Addi before handing her over to him. Confused Addi was about to ask before Omis interrupted him.
"Addi, please take care of her."
"What the hell are you saying?" Retorted Addi, yet Omis simply shook his head before staring back at him with a serious expression.
"Brother! Please."
Seeing Omis's unwavering gaze, Addi let out a sigh before replying.
"I understand."
Hearing that, Omis gave a gentle smile before he patted Addi's shoulders and turned around to leave.
"Master Silas, stick around Addi. I'll keep our guest entertained while you guys take that time to evacuate." Said Omis. Silas simply gave him a long stare before simply nodding.
"Take care master Omis. Come now Leyla, let's go."
She hesitated and looked at Omis who gave her his best reassuring smile before she leaped towards him and gave him a tight hug.
"Don't die, brother Omis."
Leaving behind those words, she stepped back next to Addi and Silas. Giving them one last glance Omis's eyes lingered on Lu Lu's broken body before he turned around and made his way to the exit.
Once outside, the first thing he was greeted with was a giant hall right outside the pagoda. There in the middle of the newly made crater was Aidan sitting down cross-legged with his eyes still closed.
As If sensing that Omis had arrived his eyes quickly shot open before he started speaking.
"You are finally here. I see you decided to come face me by yourself, are you perhaps planning to buy time for your comrades to escape?" He asked in a mocking tone.
Not bothering to reply, Omis's body blurred as he disappeared from his place before quickly materializing behind Aidan and throwing a palm attack to his back.
"How preposterous! Have you no shame!?" Angrily shouted Aidan as he quickly avoided Omis's attack.
Not allowing him any time to recover, Omis for the first time truly unleashed his full God-ranked cultivation base. The sky that was full of cracks above seemed to break open, the mountain below started shaking, the air itself was torn as various void tears opened around them.
"Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you kid!" Angrily harrumphed Aidan before he unleashed his cultivation base.
The duo quickly to off to the air where both stood facing against each other their two auras were visible as they wildly clashed with one another, one like a sea of blood, red and bloodthirsty, the other blue and gentle yet it still carried an undoubtable dignity and strength to it that commanded respect.
The broken realm itself seemed to be unable to hold in face of such power as various void cracks continued to open surrounding the duo.
The two opponents stood still as their auras clashed, neither giving way to the other before Omis made his move.
His blades quickly appearing in both hands with two others flying behind him. With a loud whoosh, his body blurred leaving after images before he attacked with his sword formation.
*BOOOOOM*
The shockwave from them clashing against each other caused the air to break and the pagoda below to almost collapse.
