Chapter 56: 055 ‘Then let’s go quickly!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That was Shane’s only thought at this moment.
There was no other way.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shane really couldn’t think of any other word to describe his actions except causing trouble.
As you could see, in front of Shane, the once empty wilderness had completely changed.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”
That was the sound of countless rocks crashing to the ground.
That was the sound of dust dissipating into the air.
A massive slash mark, like a crack in the earth, divided the wilderness and continued to extend forward, finally reaching a mountain peak, looking like an abyssal cliff, making one’s heart skip a beat.
Even more horrifying was that the tall mountain at the end of the cliff-like chasm appeared to be split in two.
Adding to that the residual magic power still raging around like invisible tornadoes, how could Shane not know what “good deed” he had done?
“…No wonder it’s the ultimate move of the melee type, its power is indeed extraordinary.”
Shane made an objective assessment, like a master in a martial arts novel, with a calm demeanor.
If you ignored the cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
At this point, the sound of a difficult cough came from the side, and Shane finally remembered something important.
Shane wasn’t alone here.
Immediately, Shane quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the cough.
There, Tielle was kneeling on one knee on the ground, raising her hands to shield herself as if she had been blocking an incoming storm, now coughing constantly, looking rather embarrassed.
“Are you…are you okay?”
Shane hurried over, wanting to help but not knowing how, looking terribly awkward.
Tielle ignored Shane’s awkwardness, raising her head as she coughed, looking at Shane.
Although Shane couldn’t see Tielle’s expression under the hood, he inexplicably knew the gaze of this young girl at this moment.
That gaze was like looking at a monster.
“I…I didn’t mean to!” Shane defended himself with an extremely unnatural expression, “I didn’t know it would be , and besides, I was doing exactly as you taught!”
Saying this, Shane reflexively lifted his broad blade sword, as if trying to hand over the tool of the crime, clearing himself of suspicion.
It’s just unfortunate…
The broad blade sword Shane raised up was unexpectedly covered in cracks without anyone noticing, and then it shattered completely, as if it could no longer hold together.
Moreover, those fragments didn’t even land on the ground.
Because, before they touched the ground, they already scattered like dust, carried away by the wind.
Shane and Tielle witnessed this scene, both falling into speechlessness.
Next, Tielle looked at Shane again.
Shane didn’t need to identify to know that Tielle’s gaze now was not just like she was looking at a monster, but as if she was looking at a humanoid demon.
No, perhaps Tielle’s gaze was more like she was looking at a new Demon King, who could tell.
Shane’s face immediately turned red.
It was from holding it in.
After holding it in for a long time, Shane finally squeezed out a sentence.
“What should we do next?”
Shane seemed to have given up on explanations.
Tielle could only continue looking at Shane in speechless silence, until after a while, she looked at the deep chasm and the distant mountain split in two on the horizon.
That scene reminded Tielle of the magic blade that fell like a pillar from heaven, making her heart tremble.
“…Let’s leave here first.”
Tielle took a deep breath, suppressing her voice from trembling, maintaining a cold tone as she spoke to Shane.
“With such a big commotion, Lamijion must have already noticed. Let’s leave before the investigators arrive.”
Hearing this, Shane hesitated.
“Is this really okay?”
Shane’s anxious and guilty demeanor calmed Tielle down a bit.
“You can stay if you want,” Tielle said, “but if you do, you’ll be taken away for questioning, maybe even seen as a demon clan spy here to cause deliberate destruction. Is that okay with you?”
Shane’s spirit immediately lifted.
“Then let’s go quickly!”
Shane’s thoughtless words made Tielle’s eyebrow twitch involuntarily.
However, now was not the time for leisurely conversation. Suppressing her urge to say something more, Tielle stood up.
But as she stood, Tielle’s delicate body tilted to one side.
“Are you…are you alright?”
Seeing this, Shane quickly reached out and supported Tielle.
Tielle’s face under the hood turned slightly red, and she gave Shane a fierce glare, seemingly annoyed.
After all, being so scared that she went weak in the knees and unable to stand was truly embarrassing.
“Uh…” Shane seemed to understand what had happened, shrinking his head back and speaking meekly, “I really didn’t mean it.”
Seeing Shane looking both aggrieved and too scared to say much, Tielle found it both frustrating and amusing.
After a moment of silence, Tielle spoke.
“It’s best if you don’t mention today’s events to anyone,” Tielle said. “Not even to Vivian.”
“Not even to Vivian?” Shane was taken aback.
“That’s the best,” Tielle said blandly. “It’s not about not trusting Vivian, just that the fewer people know, the less trouble we’ll have.”
“Alright,” Shane pondered for a moment, then nodded.
If it meant less trouble, Shane was all for it.
Anyway, it wasn’t that big of a deal, right?
“And,” Tielle glanced at Shane, her voice turning serious and stern for the first time, “don’t casually use the ‘Magical Sword’ again.”
This was important, and Tielle had to remind him specifically.
Otherwise, thinking of the possible consequences gave Tielle chills.
“I can’t use it?” Shane asked in some dismay, “Doesn’t that mean all the skills I learned were wasted?”
Then wouldn’t everything done today be completely for nothing?
“At least, until you can control the power freely, it’s best not to use this skill in front of others,” Tielle advised, and as if remembering something, added, “Also, don’t use it in crowded areas.”
“Alright.” Shane then felt relieved and nodded without another word.
After that, the two of them quickened their pace to leave, as if they were really escaping a crime scene.
But this breathtaking scene remained.
Undoubtedly, even hundreds of years later, this place would still look the same and might even become a tourist attraction.
