Chapter 87: The Silent Huntress Meets The Sea Princess
Nyra, after completing her successful breakthrough. Start her searched for other people, and soon she found some noble, knights and maids who were teleported together.
After that all of them move together and keep continuing their search. During their journey they fight many mad beasts of different types, but fortunately none of the people get seriously injured, which prevents their journey from getting slowing down.
"Where are we even heading?" After walking half hour, some of the nobles got fed up and asked Nyra. She stopped upon hearing this.
And After taking a brief look at the surroundings. finding that they are still inside the giant forest and do not have any clue regarding how to escape this secret realm yet, which demotivates almost everyone.
"We have to move; it doesn’t matter where... but we have to." Nyra try to motivate everyone and said this and soon everyone started moving again – BOOMMMM!!!
But just as they moved, all of them heard a deafening sound. which forced some people to stumbled as they fall backward.
"Holy mother!" someone among the crowd exclaimed after seeing a gigantic mushroom cloud that had formed far in the distance.
Others also followed his gaze and become terrified after witnessing this. Finally a few seconds later. "Should we... approach that explosion?" One knight asked while trembling, because moving without any purpose can be dangerous, but going toward the explosion location can also be dangerous.
Nyra also looked worriedly toward the massive mushroom cloud and got a little conflicted about the decision. Everyone was staring at the Nyra, waiting for her decision.
Felling everyone stares, makes her little uncomfortable. "Nyra!" But then an excited voice came from the distance, and everyone almost simultaneously turned their heads. There Elias Duvall and Vivienne Duvall were coming excitedly toward Nyra.
"Brother! Mother!" A big smile blossoms on Nyra’s face. And she hurriedly ran toward them. "I missed you, Mother." Nyra hugged Vivienne and spoke with a little sad voice, on which Vivienne’s expression also got sad, and she rubbed her back gently with a smile on her face.
"I am here, so everything will be alright." Vivienne said to her in a loving voice, and Nyra’s body, which was tired from all those chases and now leading a group of people, finally relaxed somewhat.
Elias from the side watched this but didn’t interrupt; instead, he observed the mushroom cloud and said to everyone.
"We are going toward the explosion location. After finding what’s happened, we can decide further!" Other nobles, knights and maids nodded, while Vivienne and Nyra just listened. Soon everyone starts their marching towards the explosion location.

"What’s happened?" Aurielle watched the mushroom cloud with a wary expression and felt her golden chain was also pointing toward that side, which increased her worry. Because earlier, the demon whisper man said that their plan was the hero sacrifice, and now this big explosion.
Margaret and other Blackstone’s Highlands legions’ knights were also watching the mushroom cloud with different expressions. Aurielle has found Margaret before, so she gathers up all her territory people whom she has found along the way.
"My lady, what should we do?" Kai came in front, and with a respectful bow he asked her. Aurielle came out of her thoughts but still didn’t turn back toward them. Instead, she ordered everyone to pack up their things, as they are heading toward it.
Everyone nodded in agreement and packed up their things before heading toward the explosion direction.
Though, if someone saw their groups, one question would sure come into their mind. "Did she only get her people? "What about other nobles and knights?" Well, the answer is simple: Aurielle didn’t take others into her group because most of them didn’t respect her husband, and also she didn’t have any positive view toward other nobles because of a past territory incident. So she left them and only grouped up with her people.

"Tch... what a failure," Oryn muttered with disdain while looking toward the mushroom cloud. He knows only Rowan can do this type of attack. After all, he has given him that magic scroll, but seeing the small crystal ball in his hands is still burning with the blue flame; he knows that Luke is still awake.
"Everything is ready?" He asked after turning back. There’s a massive 100-foot-tall beast lying on the front.
Many parts of its body were rotted, so its skeletons could be seen from outside.
"Yes, sir, after half an hour it will wake up, and soon everyone will die." One black-robed man from the Infernal Choir came forward and said it with a normal tone.
Oryn nodded, and together with the others, he moved toward the distant forest. Behind them, the corpse of the massive beast remained motionless, its body slowly being covered by a thick reddish miasma.
And ten large crimson crystals were embeded in its body. connected directly to its heart, forcing it to beat once every minute as if the dead beast was still being kept alive by some unknown force.
After Oryn and others moved away from the place. the surroundings distorted, everything was covered with trees, and the beast inside became invisible. So even if someone comes here before 30 minutes, they will not find anything.

Naivara also saw a mushroom cloud. And instantly head toward it, because her golden chain is pointing in that direction.
After travelling some distance, she saw Luke was seated beneath the tree and grinning like an idiot while looking at the ring in his hand. Then her gaze shifted toward the other side; there a green-haired woman in a blue mask was sitting beside the tree, while her bow with an arrow mounted was pointed toward her.
Vaelira sensed something was coming with fast speed, but she didn’t attack. Instead, she observed the upcoming person, as she didn’t sense any malice or killing intent from her. But still, for her master’s safety, she knocked an arrow on her bow and pointed toward her.
The person is a beautiful woman. When she first arrived, she observed her master with a gaze that she coundn’t understand. Then she looked toward her with an expression clearly asking, ’Who is this woman?’
