On the flip side, after the group was done giving their 'gift' to Irithel , they proceeded on crossing the hanging bridge with Irithel at their back to keep them safe.
Crossing the hanging bridge, the group could feel it swaying whenever a strong wind blew past it.
Each of the planks of the wooden steps of the bridge creaks noisily whenever they put their weigh on it.
It seemed that if one dares to run or purposely shake the hanging bridge, it will eventually tip to the side and all that was crossing the bridge will fall.
It is also a good thing that Audrey's group has no plan of tricking Irithel in giving their treasure.
Because apparently, those who choose not to follow Irithel's condition will definitely meet their tragic end in the hanging bridge.
Over time, there were already a number of warlocks who tried doing that before. Crossing the hanging bridge without the guardian's permission.
But only misfortu
Nike scratched the back of his head as his other hand reach on the inside of his robe to get his wand."Alright, I'll gonna use a spell for this one then."As he said that, Nike waved his wand and muttered,"XEKLEÍDOMA"As soon as he was done chanting the unlocking spell;, the doorknob turned by itself and right after that, the massive wooden double door open on its own.To their surprise, the interior of the place is not affected by the same reddish-brown color that dominates the entire Blood City.It does not have any hint of the sanguine ambient light outside and it works to their liking.After all, it would really put them on edge if they end up getting trapped inside an abandoned old mansion that looks as if it was covered by dried blood.Although the interior of the place looked shabby, to say the least, it is still way much better than having a creepy place that looked like a murder scene where many
Throughout the entire journey, Jace deliberately kept his distance from Audrey.Even right now where it was only the two of them left in the place, Jace still remains aloof and adamant in keeping a safe distance away from Andrew (Audrey).He was sporting and serious expression on his face as he busied himself searching for every drawer and cabinets left abandoned in the west part of the old mansion.There is no other noise that can be heard within the western part of the old mansion aside from the sound created by the drawers and cabinets every time they opened and rummage it.Being unable to stand the awkward silence between them anymore, Audrey stop what she was doing and looked at Jace who was still busy trying to rummage the place looking for the ancient Goblet.Out of the blue. she directed a question towards Jace."Jace, can I asked you about something?"But instead of answering right away, Jace just looked at her
"Come on guys. We have to go. Let's head back now and leave this place."Niccoli beckoned as he started walking ahead of the group.He was definitely looking forward to returning to Iridos and gave the ancient Goblet to Professor Sonny.Hopefully, that ancient Goblet is the key that would be able to help them to finally awakened Luna.The rest of the group also felt the same way so they all went out of the old mansion with Niccoli on their lead.So far, everything seemed to go on smoothly and Audrey can't help but feel that everything was going way too smooth sailing that she was starting to feel unnerved.It was unsure whether she was just being apprehensive for no reason but the fact that everything went on smoothly in this quest is really suspecting by itself.It did not take long for the group to reach the same massive wooden door where they came in. It was still left wide open and a gust of wind was still coming fro
"I believed that you got something in you that belongs to us. Give it back to us this instant and we might be considering sparing your lives. If we are merciful enough, we could even leave you unscathed."The one that looks to be the leader of the beautiful women added in an overbearing manner.She looked down at the group of young warlocks before her before raising her right hand.This seemed to be some sort of hand signal shared among their group.Because right after she gestured that, the rest of the beautiful women behind her loaded an arrow on their bows all at the same time.Then with one swift motion, they all raised their bow and arrow and aimed it towards Audrey's group before pulling the string taut.Ready to receive another signal from their leader to fire up the arrows at any moment.Once they released their hold on those arrows, it will fly straight to Audrey's group and they will be forced to face another r
Meanwhile, one of the sorceresses that have an auburn hair noticed Nero. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a black little cat that was sitting quietly beside the lanky looking warlock. To her surprise, she had a sudden weird feeling that the black cat was actually smiling at her!"Hey look at that weird black cat over there, it is smiling at me!!!!"The sorceress with an auburn hair told the other sorceress that was riding next to her."You need to have your eyes check, darling. You are starting to see things now. Can a cat even smile???""But I swear to Lilith's name, I really saw it smiling at me just a while ago!"The sorceress with an auburn hair tried to explain herself but the other sorceress just smiled at her."It must have been tiring for you, these past few days. Do you think so? Have some rest later on. You need that, okay?""You think so???"The sorceress with the auburn hair was soon convinced
Well, Audrey's group is not having fun either.They urge for Allan to locate the exit of Blood City as soon as possible.But to their dismay, it looks like that even the Nexus Portal can't do their group any help this time.Allan had been trying to access the Nexus Portal for quite some time now, but it seemed like it suddenly stopped working inside the Blood City.It was as if some invisible force was interfering with the Nexus Portal to locate the exit of the place!They might have escaped the encirclement of those sorceresses but they soon found themselves baffled with another problem.They were trapped!!!!And they were not just simply trapBecause a flowing blood-like substance seems to be following behind them as wellNot to mention that there is also a group of sorceresses that was lurking in the area and most likely searching for them as well right now.Ohhh.. just what kind of darned l
The goblet lady did not even seem to look like she was actually capable of hurting a fly, let alone them. She looked like someone who was just around 30 years of age. But considering that sorceresses tend to age slow, guessing their actual age could be a tough nut to crack, itself.The other party was dressed in a long, light blue robe and her collar and cuffs were both trimmed with soft fur. Her robe was covered in shimmering snowflakes and on her head was a hat of fur and snowflakes that looked a little like a crown that sparkled like an icy flame.Her slender and milky-white shoulders were covered with a cape of dark blue and on her feet, she wore embroidered boots. She looked like an enchanting snow princess that came out straight from a children's fairytale book. She has that kind of beauty that can easily topple any cities and nations.She opened and closed her mouth a few more times trying to force out a voice from her throat. The other part
"I'm sorry miss, but I have no other choice but to do this. You have to come back to where you belong."Audrey said as she took out the ancient Goblet.The lady shook her head and tried running away once again but before she could even get away once more, Audrey already extended her hand and tried to grab ahold of the other party.As soon as her hand reached out to the other party a sudden wave of dizziness struck Audrey. Causing her to lost her balance and fall on her knees.For a quick second, she almost thought that she was going to pass out for good."Stay away from her!!!!"She heard someone shouting before a flash of brilliant light shone before her eyes."Help me, please..."Audrey heard a faint voice of a lady and for some reason, she felt like she was missing out on something.Part of her felt disturbed when she heard that pleading tone. But before she could process what was happening to her, obliv
