Chapter One Hundred Eighty-One:
Underworld
Finally, we were released from the void that Corey and I were trapped in. And now all we have to do is get out of the underworld as soon as possible to get to Kanik right away and start our long plan.
But by an unexpected coincidence, our journey was suddenly interrupted when all of a sudden I smell a fresh blood. The blood I will never ever forget no matter how long time will past. I can still remember who own it.
I smelled the whole environment again to make sure I smelled the right person in my mind.
"So, she was here." I said.
"Who?" Corey asked me clueless of what I smelled.
"Dihin om ab moyaana nga moyaana ok?"
Corey tried to smell the atmosphere but he didn't seem to smell anything. "Lawa manna konga moyaana." He answered.
"Okay! Don't even try to find out what I scent. Because the important thing now is I'm sure Manu's twin is here in the underworld."
"Who? Edelweiss?"
"Yes."
"Is she dead?"
"No. She isn't."
"Then, what is she doing here?"
"To collect Manu's soul," I answered and once again I smell her scent but for some reason, I smell the blood in two different directions. "Oh, hangmuk yam lakba langsi winga…"
"Ha? What do you mean?" Corey curiously asked.
"Separate directions… but both have Edelweiss blood." I answered.
"Then, it is a trap!" Corey quickly answered that I'm proud of.
"But I don't care!" I exclaimed. "Nga galahama as kina ya hakuma ok is Edelweiss goba ap nam yani likbaima nga waluluka in Manu." I seriously stated.
Present…
"Let us see! What can you do if I completely kill the bait you made?" He seriously asked as I keep on suffering from the pain I feel right now.
"Catena spinae." Galdur attacked Khawar that finally free me from the pain he was causing me.
I cough as I watch them fight Khawar and even though I want to help them, I can't because Khawar places me into a prison I can't break no matter what I do.
"Huh! Noa toi? Do you think just a simple chain can stop me?" Khawar answered.
"Lama ngok dihin ak wanggagama langipi ng plengsim ketaa ok rope riaama ok tongi winga." Galdur answered and once again he casted a spell that thrown Khawar away from us. As soon as he was thrown Galdur and Ansel immediately check out on me.
"Are you alright?" Ansel worriedly asked me.
"Yes. But I can't get out of here."
"He put a very strong barrier that even us, we cannot be able to break it." Galdur answered as he tries to break it when suddenly a laugh surrounds us and it was no other than Khawar.
"Do you really think you can defeat me just like that?" Khawar shouted. "Because no one can defeat me! Teritum."
…
Wafi, Sai and Netro felt a shocking explosion that stopped them from fighting Corey.
"Lotana an in Khawar nga mga hanmasaka yonin as labika." Corey said.
"Khawar will not be able to beat Ansel and Galdur." Sai answered.
"Really? Then, what did you call that explosion?" Corey answered. "Only Khawar can unleash such a powerful power here in the underworld."
"And that is what Ansel all needed." Netro answered before he casted the spell he already ready to finally trap Corey into a deep oblivion.
…
Khawar was suddenly stops when he suddenly lost track of Corey.
"No!"
"They were able to remove Corey." Ansel answered while I'm still inside the prison Khawar created for me.
"What did you do?!" Khawar angrily asked Ansel.
"We are waiting for you to use your full power as a God that you actually made. The attack you just made earlier is the only thing that we need to finally awake the one God that can help us to seal away your brother. And you know what I'm referring to because she's been waiting for you for a long time."
"No." his eyes get wide as he finally guesses who that was.
"What? She's been waiting for this moment an—ahhh!"
"Ansel!" Galdur and I yelled when Khawar suddenly rushed at him and almost destroyed the wall he was falling on but Khawar still didn't let him go.
Galdur immediately came to help but he was also thrown away and was been trap into a rock hand that Khawar did while still holding Ansel's neck.
"No!" I shout but I still couldn't do anything about the prison I am in.
"You're still an annoying God, Folkvar!" Khawar said as he pushed him deeper to the wall. "So, I won't let you live any longer." He said and was about to cast a power magic when suddenly he was thrown out away from Ansel. I don't know who saved Ansel but whoever that was, I am grateful that Ansel is safe.
…
Hell Palace
"Welcome to my palace, my dear visitors."
Finally, we already reached the palace after the long ride that we took as soon as we entered the gates of hell. But the short journey I thought did not happen either because the palace of the King of Hell was also far away. Fortunately, the King sent us a ride reason to somehow speed up our journey going to the palace. Although it's still too long to reach the palace and I feel kind of exhausted.
"I won't go around the bush anymore." I spoke. "I want to retrieve Manu's soul." I directly stated.
The King of Hell smiles and answered. "You are in too much of a hurry, Mrs. Del Gazini."
"Of course. Because I do not want to prolong the sacrifice of many more innocent lives, so just give me Manu's soul." I commanded.
The King of Hell looks at me from head to toe before turning back to my eyes. "You're not a maiden anymore and… hangmuk lawa ak ngir lama as riyayanang as wasaa om yonnga, right?" he said that made my heart trembles for an unknown reason.
