The people of Bara City who saw the thick pillar of fire didn't think much about it. They only thought of it as another volcanic eruption since it was coming from the Bara Volcano.
After half an hour, the pillar of fire finally dissipated, and only smoke remained. The northern lava field area of the Bara Volcano was mostly destroyed by the explosion. The numerous lava tubes formed in this area disappeared and replaced with a big crater.
When the smoke was slowly blown away by the wind, the situation in the crater could be seen much clearer.
A ball of fire could be seen dancing alone in the center of the crater. It kept changing colors from Red to Blue to Black to Purple and Red again. That's right. The special fire which previously alternated only three colors now has another color added to it. A Purple color.
After a while, the ball of fire stopped alternating its color. It stopped at the Red color and now it looked just like a normal special fire.
Suddenly, the ball of fire flew quickly in a straight line toward a certain direction. Anything in its direction would be burned to nothingness instantly, and layers of thick walls would be seen with burnt holes as it flew straight to its target.
Before the explosion happened, Leyvi and Anda were busy running away further from the central vent to avoid their pursuer. The cave path that they were on led them to the Northwest of the Bara Volcano.
As they were running away, a huge explosion occurred somewhere behind them causing an earthquake to the entire area. Both Leyvi and Anda were sent flying and tumbling around the cave as the explosion sent a violent and turbulent wave of wind to every channel of nearby caves.
During the turbulence, Leyvi ignored the little pains throughout his body, got himself near Anda, and immediately pulled her into his embrace while simultaneously putting up multiple layers of protection Qi to protect her from more physical harm.
After a while, everything calmed down again as the violent turbulence passed but many areas of the cave collapsed. There were lava stalactites everywhere on the floor of the cave. Some were still falling.
"Leyvi, are you alright?" Anda was not overly concerned. Except for the first few seconds of the chaos that caught them off guard, they only sustained minor physical injuries. What concerned her was what caused the explosion. This was not something caused by a volcanic eruption and they had seen the central vent, the magma was completely dormant.
Leyvi who was still on top of Anda, covering her body with his own, opened his eyes, "Wew....what the heck was that? There's no way those Core Formation experts could do something right? Did they anger a God of Volcano or something?"
"Husband, your mouth asked a lot of questions but why is your hand overly active too?" Anda rolled her eyes. Her husband's hand which was exploring her valley did not match the serious expression he made.
"Ahaha! My body ached from a lot of small injuries so I needed some comfort." Leyvi said as he continued to explore more. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Okay stop! If you continue more I won't be able to hold it back soon," Anda can't let Leyvi continue or her succubus panda mode will emerge. This was not the time for having sexy moments. Even if she liked the act, there's no way she would do it in public. She may be a succubus, but she's not an exhibitionist.
"Fine..fine.." Leyvi pouted.
Suddenly a piece of broken stalactite fell on his head.
"Arghh! My panda wife...I couldn't live for much longer, somebody.... assassinated me." Leyvi's body fell to the ground pretending to be dead.
Anda sighed. Why is her husband ? He still tried to goof around at a time . Anda quickly slapped his butt, "How long are you going to play around? Wake up! I want to check out what happened."
Anda flew upward and went out of the cave. Since many parts of the cave collapsed, there were a lot of big holes in the ceiling they could come out of. Leyvi stopped pretending to be dead and followed Anda outside.
As soon as he was outside, he saw a big pillar of fire that was getting smaller and smaller.
"That must be what causing the chaos just now. Anda, let's go back directly from here. I don't sense any of the masked men nearby," Leyvi suggested. He didn't sense any of the masked men but he sensed a lot of animals and demonic beasts that were running away from the aftermath of the explosion.
"Something is calling me...." Anda said in a low voice. She was staring in the direction of the fire pillar.
"Huh?" Leyvi was confused.
"Anda, we need to go!" Leyvi didn't understand what she was talking about but he felt that they needed to return now. The masked men could see them at any moment out in the open.
"Leyvi, but I felt that something was attracting me and wanted me to go over there," Anda explained.
"No Anda. I'm sorry but we are not going there," Leyi pulled Anda and they started flying south toward Bara City. Anda reluctantly followed Leyvi ignoring the summon she felt. She also didn't want to put them in danger.
As they were flying toward Bara City, the fire pillar finally disappeared. While flying, Leyvi was focusing on the ten-kilometer radius around him and none of the masked men entered his range. Did they all die? That would be the best, he thought.
Suddenly a small object entered his spiritual sense range at an extremely fast speed. Leyvi was alarmed but he didn't have any chance to react to it before it immediately arrived in front of Anda and engulfed her whole.
Leyvi only saw his beloved wife being instantly devoured by a small ball of flame and now it expanded to a human-sized sphere of flame.
"ANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Leyvi instantly lost his mind!
His entire body instantly exploded with raging flames as he rammed into the flame sphere but was repelled hundreds of meters away. His entire body was injured but he didn't care, he rocketed to the flame sphere again and threw a destructive punch but he was repelled again causing the bone in his fist to crack.
"GIVE MY ANDAAAA BACCKKKKKKKKKK!!!"
Leyvi continued attacking the flame sphere but it did nothing and he sustained more and more injuries.
As the commotion was occurring, the leader of the masked men noticed Leyvi who was attacking the flame sphere and he quickly called for his remaining men. There were three of them left. The rest were caught in the explosion and perished.
Three of them quickly flew toward Leyvi intending to kill him and complete the task. They didn't even know yet that their master had perished in the explosion too.
The leader with a cultivation base at the peak-stage Foundation Building realm created a dozen large tridents made of ice and shot them toward the bloodied rampaging Leyvi.
The Leyvi who had lost his mind sensed the killing intent directed at him and instantly changed his target, Leyvi's Qi was depleted but it was instantly refilled to the maximum by his Daily Qi Refill benefit.
Leyvi's Fiery Qi roared again as he rocketed toward the leader of the masked men. He crashed the Ice Tridents and they shattered from the collision and melted away.
"What?" The masked leader was shocked. He didn't expect an early-stage Foundation Building to be this strong.
"This kid is strangely strong! Attack together!" The masked leader took out his Trident spirit weapon and conjured more tridents around him.
However, Leyvi was too fast as he landed an explosive punch to his chest. His protective Qi immediately broke and was sent crashing downward.
The other two took this chance to attack Leyvi who had halted mid-air. Leyvi kicked and parried one of the attacks breaking a few of the attacker's fingers in the process but his back was slashed deep instead. Blood immediately spurted from his back.
Leyvi immediately flew higher to dodge more attacks from the masked men. His vision started to get blurry as he lost a lot of blood.
Before he fainted, his mind regained a little clarity as he was still thinking about Anda.
"Protect Anda!" As he gave a last shout before he fainted.
Mr. Bison was summoned by Leyvi right before he fainted. Due to losing his mind earlier, he didn't summon Mr. Bison and only now he was summoned as he regained clarity.
Mr. Bison caught the falling Leyvi on his back and looked for Anda. Where's Boss Anda? He didn't see her. He only saw three masked men exuding killing intents toward him and a fire sphere in the middle of the air.
"Fuck! Isn't that the masked person that I rammed to death that time? There are three of them now!" Mr. Bison grunted.
Suddenly the masked men with the broken fingers flew toward Mr. Bison intending to kill Leyvi on his back. He didn't take the intermediate-level demonic bison seriously.
Mr. Bison rammed into him and the entire bones in his body shattered as well. The same as the first masked men he killed.
