Death… And Me

?Fuhiro was at a loss for what to do. He then turned in the direction of the center of the City, where the entity lived. "What about you? Do you have a plan? It was part of our deal to get their Queen."

'It was you who let her come here, wasn't you?' The entity's voice echoed in the environment. 'I tried to take over her mind when I noticed she was getting close to the City. However, those two guys traveling with her seem to have control over a weird type of energy that blocks my intrusion.'

He continued. 'However, it is still part of our deal that I would help you with the Queen, and since you have kept your part, I will do mine. If a chance shows itself, I will help you capture her once again.'

Fuhiro nodded, satisfied. "That's good then."

Of course, the only question was how would they create that chance. It was then that the entity's voice appeared again. "Don't worry, we probably won't need to wait much until they come knocking on our door."

Fuhiro and Kijia were taken aback. "How do you know?"

"Because of the memory alteration," the entity explained. "Even if they use the altars, which are outside my control, I can still change their memories. No doubt Lotar mentioned it to them as well by now. I doubt they will want to go out after knowing it. Instead, they will try to find a way into this City and out of this Azum Dimensional Realm without losing anything."

Fuhiro and Kijia looked at each other. "But who knows how long it will take for them to do that?"

*Rumble...*

Suddenly, the City began to shake as if a huge power was striking it. The Barrier immediately activated, reverting all its power, using it deep into the Chasm. From the looks of it, the City's Barrier was fighting against something. Not only that, but pretty much the whole energy was used in that place alone.

"Seems like I don't need to answer you," the entity's voice commented.

Fuhiro knew what was happening. After all, he had experienced this disturbance before. "That's not possible! Are they using the Chasm's power to attack the City Barrier? But this is ridiculous! They know they won't be able to control it with us here. Are they that idiotic?"

Following that, several Shadow Ferals entered the range of the City Wall and began to fly up the Chasm. Within this group, one could find Lotar, the Divinity Realm Shadow Feral. Rean and Kentucky were there, too. Yet, the most important figure in that group was definitely Iolanda, the Shadwo Feral Queen.

"We are destroying this City today! Today, we are leaving this fucking Dimensional Realm!" Lotar's voice, influenced by his powerful Divine Energy, echoed all over the City. There were more and more Shadow Ferals coming out of the Chasm, quickly flying past the City Wall.

*Roar!* fr(e)enovelkiss.com

All the Shadow Ferals roared in excitement, throwing caution to the wind and following Lotar and the others. The Queen was there as well, so they would die to make sure she was safe.

The entity laughed after seeing that. "Last time, they only sent a small group of around 30 Shadow Ferals, but they were their top experts. This time, they are bringing pretty much their entire race from the Chasm. Could they be thinking that their numbers would be enough to fight against my formation?"

The entity then commanded. "Fuhiro, connect your bloodline to the crystals in the Chasm's ground. However, wait a few minutes until their race is further into the City. Once I give you the signal, you can use your bloodline to disrupt the Shadow Ferals' control over the crystals. Cheer up! Your Queen will be in your hands soon!"

Fuhiro narrowed his eyes. Could it be that the Shadow Ferals truly thought the problem with the Barrier's power was the numbers? If that was the case, they were in for a lot of pain. The formation controlled by the entity isn't so simple that its attack power can be overcome by numbers alone. "Very well."

Meanwhile, Lotar was leading the entire entourage, followed closely by Rean, Kentucky, and Iolanda. Iolanda looked at Rean, feeling somewhat worried. "Are you sure it will work? Are you really, really sure it will work?"

Rean smiled. "Even if it doesn't, you know our backup plan. I told you our memories can't be altered, so we can leave this place through the altars and recover you if necessary. As for whatever happens in between, we will do something about that."

Lotar advanced at a fast pace, but he made sure to not go too fast so that the other Shadow Ferals would accompany him. Above all, he needed to keep an eye on the Queen. Truth be told, Lotar didn't want to come. Rean's plan seemed crazy, and he didn't think it would work. Yet, Iolanda accepted the idea, so he could only obey.

Lotar grew more tense as they advanced deeper into the Kanlas City. They were already much further than the last time, which means that once the Barrier reverted its power to them, even he might not have enough power to escape alive, let alone save the Queen.

The entity observed the Shadow Ferals coming in its direction with amusement. Finally, it decided they were already too close and passed the order. "Fuhiro, do it now."

Fuhiro nodded and immediately cast his bloodline power deep underground. It took only a moment for it to reach the Spatial manipulation Crystals on the bottom of the Chasm, quickly entering them. He felt the power of three High Bloodline Shadow Ferals controlling it, seeming to be in a perfect and delicate balance. Any disturbance should be more than enough for it to collapse, so he did exactly that.

*Bzzzz!*

Fuhiro's Shadow Feral Bloodline's power attacked, losing quite easily. Yet, that was all that was needed. The three Shadow Ferals that were controlling the Chasm's Chaotic Spatial Power coughed out black blood and felt their cultivation go berserk. All three were thrown backward with several internal injuries.

With that, no one was controlling the Chasm's Chaotic Spatial Power, so the assault on the City instantly stopped... or so it should have been.

"What?!" However, contrary to the entity's expectations... the Chaotic Spatial Power of the Chasm continued to try to advance into the City, forcing the Barrier to continue using its power to defend against it!
