Walker Of The Blue Sky

65  Ch 65: Mission: Survive

Elysia suddenly smiled.

Humiliation!

She couldn't even recall how long it had been since she last heard those words. Emrys's words reminded her of a petite girl in rugged attire, looking directly into the eyes of grown men and speaking the same words, but with a much colder expression. She recalled how those grown men laughed at her and humiliated her even more.

Sigh!

Sometimes, people don't know that they are standing in front of death itself.

Another group of people found the corpses of those grown men ten minutes later. As for the petite girl in rugged clothes, her purple-patterned pupils were replaced with green eyes and she somehow forgot what happened just a few minutes ago. She just magically found herself somewhere far from that place.

"Indeed. It was my fault. I should not have humiliated you." Nodding her head, Elysia readily agreed with Emrys. But then, in the next second, her smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression as she continued, "But you should also remember that words can sometimes kill you. Learn to control yourself, learn to control your emotions, and don't show such an attitude, especially in front of me. If this happens again, I won't humiliate or kill you. I will shower you with 'pure love' and make you understand how to talk."

As she spoke, Emrys noticed a strange light in her eyes. When she mentioned pure love, the light looked almost demonic, making Emrys shudder. He could tell that her 'love' would be far worse than her 'hate'. He understood that if this happened again, she would make him suffer greatly.

He didn't say anything. He just heaved a sigh of relief and was grateful that he was still alive. For some reason, he could not understand why he said such words to Elysia. It is just that when she compared her with an Ordinary Soul Beast and told him that he was not even worth that beast's value, his soul was stirred. As if he could not endure the humiliation, those words came out of his mouth automatically.

Elysia then asked, "Now that you are the kingdom's enemy, what are you going to do?"

Emrys looked thoughtful. A few seconds later, shaking his head, he stated, "I don't know. I think I'll try to get out of the kingdom first, and during my escape, I will try to become as strong as I can."

This was his only choice. The Great Flame Kingdom is filled with powerful experts. Midnight City where he used to live was just a small city. Just in the Crystal City, Secret Silver Soul Masters and even Gold Soul Masters could be found. It is rumored that the strongest experts in the Great Flame Kingdom are Purple Crystal Soul Masters. They are also people with the highest status in the entire kingdom.

In other words, if he wants to retaliate and take revenge, he has to at least become a Purple Crystal Soul Master. The current him was only at the Silver Level which is a little too low.

Elysia suddenly said, "Since you want to become strong, let me help you."

A sweet smile formed on her charming face, but this smile appeared a little demonic in Emrys's eyes. He immediately became alert and asked, "How will you help me?"

"Remember that you promised to do one thing for me and in return I'll train you!"

"Hmm!"

"Then it is time to begin your training!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Emrys saw the space beneath him crack. A round black vortex appeared, sucking him in before he could even shout.

In the last moments before he was pulled into the vortex, he heard Elysia's voice, chilling and resolute, "Welcome your life in hell. It is just beginning. You have only one mission there, and that is to survive!"

.....

When Emrys opened his eyes again, he was lying on muddy ground. His body was hurting crazily, it was as if he had fallen from a certain height and was suffering greatly.

Standing up, he tried to brush away the dust and mud on his body, but when he saw it was of no use, he let it go and started observing the surroundings.

To his surprise, Emrys found himself in a strange and frightening world. The sky above him was no longer blue but a deep, unsettling red. Hanging high in the sky was a massive blood moon, casting an eerie crimson glow over everything. The moon looked so close that Emrys felt he could almost reach out and touch it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, reality was not like that. The moon only looked close, it was not actually.

Aside from the muddy ground he was standing, no matter where and how far he could see, all he saw was a barren and desolate land. The ground was cracked and dry, with deep fissures running through it like wounds. There was no sign of grass, trees, or any other form of life. Instead, the ground was covered with jagged rocks and sharp, broken stones that looked like they had been shattered by some great force.

"Just where is this place?"

Taking a deep breath, Emrys chose a direction and started walking. He was completely unfamiliar with these surroundings and didn't know what kind of dangers existed here. He knew he should find a safe place first and then think of what to do next.

At the same time, he could not help but think what kind of training is this?

Elysia claimed to train him, but all she did was throw him to this unknown desolate land. But he did not forget the mission she told him about. His mission was to survive. In other words, he has to survive in this desolate land. As for how long, he has no idea!

As Emrys walked, he saw that the terrain was not only lifeless but also treacherous. Large, gaping chasms dotted the landscape, some so deep that their bottoms were lost in darkness.

The most frightening thing about this landscape was that these chasms seemed to open up anywhere without warning, making every step a potential danger. He saw land cracking into two parts and a deep chasm opening more than one time in just one hour. Fortunately, he was far from those places so it did not affect him much. But it did make him more alert and cautious of his surroundings.

The air here was thick with the smell of sulfur, and an occasional gust of wind would carry with it the faint sound.
