Chapter 164

The ground turned to dust and disappeared, and the sky above burned in fierce red as it split apart Disgusting round, and soly within it Covered in solared at me with bloodshot eyes

I felt fear for the very first ti eyes I also realised in that ainst such abehind all rets, wishes – and run away to another world altogether

But I believed no huh a portal that could admit only a finite number of travelers After all, we’ve been the source of their biggest headache until now

Whatever, I still headed to the portal while thinking that I will kill all those blocking my way

However… humans unexpectedly helped us

The ‘hu waves of attacks, and the ‘huhts desperately blocked the unidentifiable creatures Intheir lives away

"What are you doing, Ellie!! Hurry and come over here!!" (TL: Not a ood)

My godfather shouted at hting out there I couldn’t think for long I entered the portal, and escaped from the homeworld

And so, a brand neorld I’ve never even drea in ees fro at me

But… why didn’t those hu hand to us?

I never understood their reasoning back then, and even now, I can’t understand it

"…"

(TL: Back to 3rd person perspective)

Captured by the memories of the past, Bathory’s mind sunk deeper and deeper into the darkness belohere nothing existed

Suddenly, a baseless confidence rose up within her

Her homeworld must’ve overcome the crisis of the Fissure

And so, it must have recovered the beautiful scenery she and her co with a warentle embrace for her return

Now completely entranced, she took a step closer towards the Fissure

"What the hell are you doing?!" (Sae-Jin)

However, soained focus Bathory glanced at Kiaze back at the Fissure Even now, the ground below her feet was collapsing Although still incomplete, it resembled a portal now, ht arrive back at the ho for so htly and rather forcefully wrapped around her waist

"Hey…!" (Bathory)

"Everyone, hold on!!" (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin shouted out while pulling Bathory into his arhtly onto him, he quickly transformed into the Leviathan and activated the instant trans below their feet infinitely was nothing round conference roole word; they were suffering from the shock of the events that happened just now

And what the hell was that thing they saw?

It was as if the entire sur

face of the earth beca before, ever

"What happened back there?" (Kim Yu-Rin)

Kim Yu-Rin broke the heavy silence with some difficulty She was a brave person indeed to speak up, since the person she asked and was expecting an answer from happened to be Bathory

With complicated eyes, the Va out in a s kid sti my Mana, his own body, as well as the Feather of Efrit, that’s what" (Bathory)

"What’s a Feather of Efrit?" (Ki that al like an octopus, with tentacles and stuff" (Bathory)

"Ah"

Kim Yu-Rin stupidly nodded her head Bathory shook her head as if she disapproved of the reaction, and then continued

"That thing, is a reod’ that used to live back in my hoinal body it carade’ of Mana absorbed" (Bathory)

Bathory stopped talking for a h

"…But, that damn feather absorbed my Mana So, it and the body of that damn el Las kid will be consuood Even if things get delayed, in two days’ ti will come to an end"

In other words, this was the worst of all possibilities Kiritted her teeth

"Then, what should we do now?" (Kim Yu-Rin)

"Well, you should decide To abandon your hoether with this planet" (Bathory)

When Bathory’s words ended, Kim Yu-Rin stuth escaped

It was then Sae-Jin, who had been quietly listening while his gaze was fixed to the floor, raised his head

"…There’s solanced at Sae-Jin’s direction

"Does that Feather function as so iod A da out loud How can you be even worse than e and stuff?" (Bathory)

"Whatever So you’re saying it plays a crucial role, right? Then, we still ht have more time than you think" (Sae-Jin)

"……You really are a hopelessly unsalvageable idiot, aren’t you?" (Bathory)

Even under the assault of Bathory’s sneering eyes, Sae-Jin simply chuckled and produced an item tucked aithin himself

It was an item procured on the spur of the ly hard feather – the Feather of Efrit

Seeing this, Bathory’s eyes widened

"But… How?" (Bathory)

"Looks like it is the correct article, then, judging by your reaction I knew instinctively that this thing was a weakness So, I took it" (Sae-Jin)

"…Oh well Sure, you did soood, but it’s all too late now What you did was to delay so that was planned to happen tomorrow, for maybe two months, tops" (Bathory)

What she said was correct; no matter how positive they wanted to spin this, this one fact couldn’t be denied, causing yet another weighty bout of silence to descend in the room

And so… tiht

Sae-Jin didn’t have anything to do Didn’t feel like holding another o ho to solve the proble the situation even further Was it because he was too hasty…?

As if this thought was shared aht about leaving the conference rooo And Sae-Jin could only feel his chest tighten further in frustration

He lied down on the couch and closed his eyes

He didn’t mind at all if this whole situation turned out to be some sort of a bad dream Not at all

"…Uhm, Guild Master?"

Someone’s voice spread out like a ripple in Sae-Jin’s consciousness

"I have so to tell you" (Lillia)

When he opened his eyes a little, he saw Lillia Like adream, she seearding…?" (Sae-Jin)

"For now, please come with me" (Lillia)

Sae-Jin rubbed his eyes a bit and looked around

"I’m sure it’s fine, since everyone’s still asleep…" (Sae-Jin)

While gru to himself, Sae-Jin moved towards the barrier room Hazeline used to practice, located next to the conference roo as far as to activate the isolation barrier, Sae-Jin yawned out loudly and stared at Lillia
