Rise of the Adventurer Series: Sea Dragon Nest Quest

Volume - 3 // Chapter - 81

Back at the battle site;

For at least an hour and a half of chasing the unknown blink of light coming from a distance.

Robert Steel lately noticing the odd things surrounding him from where the chase held in.

*Flowers grimming from a pathway where the light heading in.*

*Constant lit of light emerging from the bark of trees had been seen scattered in random places.*

A silver-like colored light that Robert Steel has horrendously seen to be exact entirely.

The more he is wary of the situation he takes in, the denser the curiosity he has thoroughly.

With the Awakening Race, he valiantly possessing, ables to define the origin of the said light spurring into his presence.

He began adamant, as he repulsively thinking for a new type of beings he seemingly encountered, even though he hadn't seen nor felt on it for the first time in his whole life.

"If I'm not mistaken, it could be ---" His mind went perplexed as he kept running through the deep, abyssal darkness.

Couldn't help his senses to felt intrigued, as he knew it would be the first time to be seen in his very own eyes.

!Entities!

As he slowly reaching into the tip of the light, that momentarily stopped for a moment.

A massive garden of flowers filled with silver-colored dust spreading into the air, right in the middle of the dense rainforest.

It was at this moment, Robert Steel was completely stunned, and their eyes went out widened due to a shocked for being surprised.

Knowing the fact that the Knightsmen Possessors couldn't emit nor felt any magic presence from anyone and anything from the others, he seemed wary and volatile to be admitted from it.

However, at that point;

All flowers he astoundingly sees from his own eyes had felt different and remorses to what he expected.

"Awakening essence!"

As he carelessly touching at least one of the flowers, the color of the flower itself began to change exponentially, very instant and highly sensible.

From Silver-colored, turning into a yellowish-colored marigold.

Robert became stagnant even more, as he couldn't believe what he just saw at the moment. Simply touching the other flowers trying to compare on it for the second time.

/Hands gently scrubbing to a flower./

/Flowers' silvery color drastically perished in an instant./

"Yeah... It was the Entities... The way the awakening presence emitted spontaneously and perishing when it touched unconsciously... But then, why did they do this anyway?" He suddenly mumbled on his thoughts for a second, thinking for an eering conspiracy that speculates his intuition very prudently.

Soon as he completely figuring out on his mind, concluding the significant culprit of the sudden changes of the flowers throughout the garden.

Robert consciously activating his Eye of the Awakening, began scouting for the entire surroundings for the other remains given the said Strongest Races.

!!!??

"What is this?"

"Don't tell me!?"

For a second time around, the hopes and intriguing gesture given by the Adventurer Knights Department Head simply couldn't be held on lowering his thoughts towards the sudden happenings.

As he has utterly seen the majestic, eye-blinding light of the forest that glimmers glamorously right above him.

/Skies filled with Entity presence./

/Trees, barks, roots in selective places filled with silver dust and Awakening presence./

Trembling with fears, astounding with ignorance. As the first one Robert Steel having his entire senses coming from it at first.

Like luring away to its den, elegantly baiting, and significantly caught in without certain fail. As what he utterly believed towards his situations currently.

And generally switching to a battle form seconds after, without prior hesitation and constant thinking against the enemies' movements very entirely.

"Who are you! Show yourselves!" Robert nervously asked with audacity and courtesy.

/Cold wind spurring out relentlessly./

/Moonlight shines brightly, yet eerie to refract./

Unfortunately, no one responded to his bold interference for at least a few minutes. Sully couldn't help but to felt nervous for his deep, tight senses momentarily towards it.

He tried to calm his mind, but simply he couldn't make it.

His senses started to react abnormally, the moment the wind tingling on his skin intervally.

Eyes, nose, and ears began sharply to the utmost limits. As he simply couldn't rely on putting his trust in his Possessing Race completely.

!!??

/Branches creaking./

/Bushes stomping./

/Wind lashes through leaves and flowers./

He instantly noticed some things that couldn't be sensed from the ordinary, as he constantly sharpened his senses to the highest level. The way he couldn't let his guard down very recklessly and conclusively.

"On the left." He reacted hastily, as he suddenly heard a soft falling of branches silently breaking from few meters away on him.

(Robert's nape surprisingly went cold and chilly all of a sudden, as he consciously nodding through his left at some serious pace.)

Out of nowhere, Robert repulsively getting restless and indescribably being panicked in his stead.

A soft, whimpering voice fearfully approaching his back, slowly touching his nape with absolute gentleness and insanely frightening with tenacity on its grip.

Robert, who instantly startled and stunned for at least a milli-second on reacting. Quickly evading the sudden approach by ducking his upper body down and thawing his sharp, short sword on his left buckle to contrast the approaching foe with a certain contact.

In response, the unknown foe forcedly kicking Robert's left shoulder. Causing Robert to stumbled to the ground and be left disadvantaged.

Robert simply being wary of his current situation that he has already, redundantly aware that the enemy unfairly approaches from his blindspot was the ones putting up the flowers into the light.

Also, the Awakening presence the unknown foe emitting was utterly the same as what the flowers thoroughly spurring in, that generally making his mind concluded that the ones he hardly wanted to found, was come right in front of his eyes.

"So... You lot had finally out of the cage, right?" He audaciously asked with enough courage and will against the unknown foe he encountered.

!Entity! He utterly mocked with a grim smile on his face.

[At the Unknown Dimension]

/Light, pleasant things floating away throughout its surroundings./

/Immovable objects and stunning scenery had been seen elegantly./

/Calm, peaceful place driven with serenity./

After the sudden deafening explosions gave by the statue of the Sea Dragon in front of Lylia the Entity and her fellow kindred.

The Consciousness coming from Ais, Renrub, Malina, and Neto had slowly regained. After they stumbled unnoticingly and mind instantly went blacked-out all of a sudden.

Without knowing for everything that happened in a tick of a second.

All that they know from that time-frame;

Was Lylia horrendously charging towards them, began panicked in her stead and indecisively casting some of her magic spell seconds before the explosion.

Ais sensibly noticing it. Yet, she couldn't figure out what exactly happened that made Lylia frighten.

Malina continually thinking about everyone's resolve.

Renrub began anxiously and maddened on his resolve, utterly went anguish towards the sudden happenings they surprisingly came in.

Neto left silent for her cause, solemnly being asked about her condition due to a suddenly shocked taking on her mind.

But then, one thing is for sure in their minds.

Their lives had been sparred gratefully and relieving.

In which all of their minds putting together, was the place and location where they held at some point.

"Don't tell me... This is?" Malina undoubtedly asked with slight trembling on her body.

"Yeah, this is Lylia-san's" Ais silently respond, as she already knew the abilities and spell that Lylia generally cast.

"Glimmer World!" Neto nervously added to Ais's answer, with a great disturbance on her chest throbbing around nonchalantly and went restless entirely.

Knowing the fact that among them know the said spell that Lylia genuinely cast. Neto was the only one aware of the consequences of making that spell very hastily and unthinkably.

That instantly felt remorse and having its concern towards Lylia's condition at the moment.

Ais noticing her sudden course of affliction very easily, prudently asked about her distressing behavior that made her anguished and unrelieved on herself.

"Please don't tell me Lylia-san didn't mad at us for being a burden to her work." She absurdly is being blunt to Ais for her unraveling. Trying to condone their works that are seemingly noticeable to recall very unpleasantly.

Ais completely understood what she'd meant for it. With a soft touch on her grasp, trying to comfort Neto by hugging her sincerely, asking for deliverance, and being considerate towards her resolve.

Other entity people scarcely went adamant for it. Slowly revolted for being unjust and inconsiderate in their actions.

That causes Lylia to risk her life in a very unwanted situation.

As everyone starts to blame whoever the ones getting responsible for everything at the moment.

A soft, mumbling noise airing throughout the surface. In which knowing the fact that all of them had been floating mid-air for the whole time since the moment they regained their consciousness.

!Good thing you guys are safe and seemed sounded! A plain, familiar voice surprisingly being heard out of nowhere, that seemingly eerie and peculiar to everyone's senses due to it.

It was Lylia's utter voice that had been heard dramatically into their ears. Right after the sudden commotion had been held given by them.

As if she tried to stop them.

By appearing personally, with drastic changes on her body that cause every single one of them to freaked out and run wild fearfully.

/Blood spilling everywhere on her body./

/Eyes began tearing with both water and blood simultaneously./

/Hair went frizzy and constantly deformed of bristles./

/Clothes nonchalantly burnt almost entirely./

/Wounds consciously opened and seemingly didn't manage to closed naturally./

All sorts of horrible things had been seen completely by the eyes of the ungrateful ones. With Lylia, being half-dying due to her agony and suffering, she wanted help that everything might be able to treat her wounds solemnly.

The fact that the thoughts and intuitions given by Neto were made true and predicted for the whole time. She began stagnant and pale, as she slowly tried to treat her wounds prudently with absolute gentleness and kindness towards her gratefulness.

She summons a bucket filled with clean, purified water and a lot of bandages to treat her injuries exponentially.

(The way the Entities cast their spells and abilities within the scope of Dimensional space can be at least anything. Hence, only limited to the ones granting by the Caster on agreeing to the said request pretty carefully.)

(It is a double-edge spell that they made whenever the things they wanted to think to happen would be unlikely greater the cost of using it carelessly.)

And so, they did;

Little by little, they summoned almost everything they need to fasten the recovery given by Lylia the Entity.

Ais imagining things the same as Neto did.

Renrub tried to think of a furnace for fire, but Lylia simply denied it.

Malina summoned almost everything that was out of context for helping Lylia to recover. As the result, Lylia generally cutting out the 'lucid link' that helps the entities casting and summoning without contracting the deal.

Malina utterly didn't like it, simply left isolated on herself for a moment.

~

As everyone thoughtfully patching the opened wounds driven from Lylia's surrounding body.

Neto, with her mind, constantly perplexing and restless throughout the moment, consciously being solemn as she tried to gain courage on asking Lylia with intricate answers and courtesy.

Lylia sincerely noticing Neto's strange action, by seeing her trembling with fear towards something so obvious to predict. She then asked on her with solitude and contrast on her feeling.

Neto couldn't hold on hiding her restless feeling anymore, as she finally caught up by the eyes of her kindred. Instantly being wary and concerned about her condition as what they resolved.

"Yeah... I'm fine... It's nothing." She gallantly answered with a slight distraught putting on her face.

Ais and Renrub greatly didn't convince, as they knew every single mood she gave already, since the time they live peacefully in the past.

"There's no need for you to worry about myself, these wounds are all nothing compared to losing lives that very important with... What matters the most is that all of us were alive and seemingly safe from now." Lylia gracefully responded to Neto's despondent reactions, sincerely assuring everyone's safety under her care for the whole time.

Everyone felt relieved by hearing it on Lylia's traits. Especially to Neto, simply cried out unwantedly and couldn't be held wiping her tears all by herself.

Including Malina on the other hand we're being stubborn since the time Lylia came in and were left isolated on the corner she made.

"By the way, the Awakening Spell you created... Was that a 'Glimmer World'?" Ais simply asked with curiosity and adamant on believing.

Knowing the fact that only the Strongest Entities were capable of casting that magic spell, Ais didn't believe as well that the one she always had along the whole time, was able to cast that strong spell also.

Lylia simply nodded as she responded with the right answer given to her.

Not to mention, it was also the main reason for her receiving countless injuries driven by the said Awakening spell.

"Hmmph... Good thing you survive with that! How reckless you are... 'Old woman'..." Malina repulsively being blunt to Lylia in a surprising way.

It Causes Lylia to be annoyed and irritates her.

But then, as the huge round-about continues.

The three completely flustered, as for them curiously asked about the duration given by her spell to be lifted momentarily.

"So... How do we get out to this place, Lylia-san?" Neto nervously asked with respect.

"Uhmm... We don't, but hastiness causes one's recklessness! Right? Hahahahaha!" Lylia utterly tried to divert the topic into their stick minds.

"Ha! Just admit it, we're trapped in this pathetic place you made!" Malina disturbingly insulted Lylia.

"Shut up!"

"But to be serious... I can't lift this spell easily, knowing that the place where I cast in is directly at the front of the Statue of the Sea Dragon." She began solemnly, as she was the only one having consciousness right through the explosion.

".... And why is it?" Malina contradicted.

"Because the place we reached in... Is certainly the epicenter of the Sea Monster's spawning." Lylia frankly replied with her thoughts simply couldn't be made erroneous.
