Chapter 97: Separation



The next second worm light covered both Dandan and Morana after which a blue rune appeared on her hand. When the contract was concluded she could feel every nook and cranny of this realm and she could feel the control she had over it. 

Morana instantly understood the situation and couldn't help but marvel at the situation. 80% of this realm was covered in potent dark mana. It might be poisonous to everyone else, but to Samael, this was the best kind of tonic for his recovery.

"I will leave the rest to you." Said Morana as she looked at him and Samael disappeared from everyone's sight.

Acheron and others didn't understand what was going on but as the spirit of the realm, Dandan quickly understood the situation.

After dealing with dark mana Morana sealed every entrance to the realm except the one that let dark mana in. After all, if she sealed that one, where would Samael get his tonic?

So, the potent dark mana became the tonic of the very same person that the divines wanted to abolish.

After dealing with everything else, Morana appeared in front of the group again.

Seeing that she was unharmed they finally let out a sigh of relief.

"It's time to leave this place." Said Morana and others couldn't agree more.

"Will you go back with us?" Asked Zoel suddenly but to his disappointment, Morana shook her head.

"Don't worry. It's not the last time that we will be seeing each other." Said Morana and before anyone had a chance to replay they all disappeared.

"You aren't going to go back with them?" Asked Acheron.

"I have more important things to do." Said Morana.

She knew she was still very weak. Her powers were still only at the mortal realm and if she wanted to advance now she could only abandon some of them, but her instincts told her that if she didn't do that she would get immense benefits. 

Morana couldn't help feeling dejected at the situation.

'Jolly, Status'

[...]

While Morana was busy checking her status and making future plans a new kind of turmoil was brewing outside.

Leonie, Amalia, and Victor who started cooperating with other forces to try and rescue their children tried different means of dealing with fog, but nothing worked until one evening they received the news that there were some changes.

Sure enough, after they arrived they also noticed the situation.

The fog they had been trying so hard to deal with was nowhere to be seen and even the entrance of the dream city was gone but before they had time to even ask questions bright light covered the place and blinded everyone.

It lasted for about 2 minutes and after the blinding light disappeared in its place appeared the children they were trying to save, but the heavy mood could be felt.

From the children that were sent inside only about 20% came back and some still were heavily injured.

Amalia and Leonie quickly noticed Zoel and others and they ran to him immediately. They also couldn't help looking around trying to find any shadow of their long-lost daughter but the more they looked around the grave their mood became.

Finally, Amalia couldn't help herself and ask.

"Your sister?"

"Don't worry mum, she is okay, but she won't be coming back with us." Said Zoel.

His words brought both relief and despair to the couple.

They were happy that she was unharmed but they couldn't help feeling sad at her rejection.

"For now." Sadi again Zoel.

"What?" Amalia asked with puzzlement.

"She won't be coming back with us for now. She knows everything she has known everything for a while. She said we will be meeting in the future so she didn't completely reject us, mum." Said Zoel.

His words brought a glimmer of hope to both Amalia and Leonie.

While the family was having a discussion they didn't notice that Victor, who till now stood near them, had disappeared.

After talking with his parents Zoel returned to the group. The previously 15 member group was now missing 4 people, Samael, Morana, Ioannes, and Luca. For some reason, after leaving the dream city the group didn't see the last two either.

"So, What now?" Asked Emir.

"We are going to start preparing for imperial games." Said Jake.

"You mean that crazy game that happens every 20 years?' Asked Emir with surprise.

"Hmm. It's in five years and the location was just announced before we entered the dream city. Originally we were planning to take this as a practice before the imperial games but we need to head out as the location is on another continent." Said Lulu.

Lulu, Lola, Jake, and Anna Were all acquaintances from long ago and were planning to participate in imperial games together.

Imperial games or also known as slaughter games was the largest competition in the lower realms. It had no restrictions of age, gender, or any other kind. Everyone entered the games knowing the price they would have to pay, but the benefits were also enormous.

The competition was mostly for all the powerhouses in the lower realm to flaunt and dominate each other, but even these powerhouses had to be very careful when participating. So, Emir couldn't help but be surprised after hearing that the four were planning to join.

"Are you guys insane?" Screamed Emir.

instantly everyone's attention was on him and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but before he continued his chiding small and soft voice interrupted him.

"Actually… I was also going to participate." Said Sara.

"Fu*k. Not you too."

In the end, before Emir knew what was going on he had already bid goodbye to Zoel and others and was now heading to join in the game with Jake and the other four.

"Poor guy." Said Sophia.

While others also didn't know whether to laugh at the situation or cry and pray for Emir's pitiful future.

Zoel and others also started heading out. This encounter left deep impressions with everyone and they all had unfinished business left-back in the upper realm.
