Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 70 "The Appearance of the Demon King"

The sound of explosions inside the cave sounded so loud. The thick plume of smoke could not hide the blood-red light that was scattering from the body of a person who was slowly drifting down. A pair of pale barefooted feet was treading on the ground. The man was extremely handsome, with a pair of blood red beads and a waist-length silver mane strand that looked like a jewel.

The man was wearing black clothes, with white skin that contrasted sharply with his clothes. His breathing was faint, and each of his breaths carried a freezing air that felt full of death.

From the abyss behind him, demonic beasts sprung up and tried to approach him while roaring creepily. A pair of blood beads did not move, calmly raising his left hand and clenching his hands clutching the blackish smoke around his arm. In the next instant, the demon beast's body exploded and was torn apart by the black smoke ruthlessly and ferociously.

"Insects a bully."

Sounds cold. Bringing everyone who heard it to shudder fear unwittingly.

"The cough!" Coughing in blood, the man knelt on one knee and rested on one hand.

Traces of blood flowed from between his lips, and flowed towards his chin and neck. Sweat formed on his forehead and temples, while his breathing was slightly breathless.

"Well.. My body's almost broken." Mumbled.

A moment later, he grinned. The pair of blood-red beads stuck together, and looked far ahead, until the grin on his perfect face widened when he saw something, "There it seems."

...***...

Since the explosion of the Iloanian force, Lasius had not stopped trying to penetrate the burst of magic energy to grab Iloania. Although it felt stifling, even though he was difficult to move, Lasius could never give up.

"Ilo .. You definitely .. can!" He said he was overwhelmed by the intense pressure.

...***...

Iloania. Iloania felt pain all over her body. The bead was open, but only darkness was seen. His ears heard, but there was only emptiness and loneliness that frightened him. Iloania curled up in the darkness, letting her body be swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit.

"Celestinian.."

That voice made Iloania look up. Along with his upward movement, the darkness that engulfed Iloania slowed down until it finally stopped when the soft voice called out to Iloania.

"Celestia. hang on, baby."

"Who is that?" Iloania opened her voice, asking about the voice she heard.

The voice was clearly a female voice. It sounded so sincere, gentle and heart-wrenching to anyone who heard it. Including Iloania. But, who is it?

"Well, are you okay?"

Hearing that voice, Iloania immediately stood up and looked at her surroundings, even though only darkness could be seen. "Teacher? The teacher?! Where is the teacher?!"

"Look, why are you hiding the teacher's brush again?"

"What's? Teachers just love to write calligraphy, but what's wrong with learning to draw a little?"

"Lo, please teacher! Fleia tried to threaten the teacher with flowers!!"

"Well, what's lunch today? Sa, the teacher's already so hungry."

Iloania was silent when she heard those voices in her head. The teacher's voice, the memory of his head united. Making Iloania hold her head and scream.

"Ohhhh!! Stop!!"

"Haha, really? Master heard that Fleia failed to catch a fish in the river and was actually thrown into it?"

"Until any time, the teacher will always be together with Ilo."

Iloania shrieks. "Liar! You liar! Master left Ilo!"

"Look Ilo, the teacher bought me a peanut cake for Ilo. If Ilo likes it, let's travel around the world to taste a delicious peanut cake!"

"I hate teachers! The teacher says nonsense that the teacher can never keep up. Teacher liar.." Iloania with tears.

"Ilo" the voice was softer.

"Even if one day the teacher can not accompany Ilo. Remember that in this world, Iloania is not alone. The world was vast, even a wider universe. All Iloania needs to know is, wherever and whenever Iloania stands, Ilo is not alone."

"Even if one day the teacher leaves, the teacher will always be here. The memory and heart of Iloania. Understood?"

"Wrong.. Wherever I am, I am alone. How can I?" Iloania.

A moment later, the woman's voice sounded even more faint. "Aurea, why don't you hear around you ?"

"Listen to Celestia, believe me."

The sound shrank and disappeared. Iloania wondered. Is Aurea .. herself? Why was the woman's voice heard in her head even when Iloania didn't hear it?

And why, why did that voice bring a feeling of comfort to her?

"Illania !"

Iloania's stunned, "Jie? Kane's? Lane?"

"Iloania, aren't you strong ?"

"Sister Lean? Why do they sound so worried?" Iloania.

"Let's!" It was Lasius' voice, making a gentle smile of Iloania rise.

"Ilania !!" Flinched, Iloania looked at the silhouette of the person in front of her.

Glowed warmly, wrapped in courage and sincerity. A sturdy hand clasped his wrist, carrying a warm feeling that dispelled the cold feeling throughout his body.

"Sius' brother?" Samar Iloania's.

The figure of Lasius became more visible before the eyes of Iloania, until a warm voice sounded, "Go back with me."

...***...

Vleia looked at the burst of energy that gradually disappeared after Lasius grabbed onto Iloania's hand and pulled her into her arms. Everyone watched as the sky calmed down, and the figure of Iloania fell unconscious in Lasius' arms.

"Let's!" Panicked Jissiana while running towards Lasius with the others.

"Sister, how's he doing?" Jissiana asked Lasius.

Lasius secured Iloania's position and nodded, "He fainted. But it seems fine. In fact, it seemed like his wounds had healed."

Eleanor stood beside Lane. "Yet, what is his strength?"

"It looks like it is." Lasius.

Lasius looked at Iloania and grasped her hand gently. Lasius knew that Iloania was powerful, and had kept so many secrets. But, magic energy was as powerful as it was, was it a reasonable power?

"Sius, how is Iloania?" Legarion immediately approached Lasius.

"We need to get her to the treatment unit immediately." Gheorn said that followed them.

Lasius nodded his head. But stopped when he caught the figure of Fleia standing while looking straight ahead with a pair of eyes filled with hatred but also anxiety and panic. Following the direction of Fleia's gaze, Lasius saw faint black portals slowly appearing in the air. There was a person who came out from there, wearing black clothes and having a strand of silver thread on his head.

Lasius had no idea what was happening, but the atmosphere in the place had suddenly become so frightening. The atmosphere of heavy, cold and full of danger was not only felt by Lasius. It was felt by everyone in that place. They have trouble even just looking. Trouble breathing under pressure as if they were on the verge of death.

The deg! The deg! The deg!

Lasius felt his heartbeat so strong. It would explode if he didn't stop it. His face paled a little, and with a slightly broken motion looked up a little more to look at the figure.

The deg! The deg! The deg!

"What is this feeling ?!" Eleanor felt that her body could not move because of that feeling.

Jissiana and Kane are even worse. Their faces paled, and the next second could have fainted due to difficulty breathing. But that, it's scary. Even for Legarion, Gheorn and Clareon who felt their legs tremble.

"What's this?! Who is that guy ?!" Inner Lasius.

The man looked up, looked around him until he fell on Iloania in Lasius' arms. He grinned coldly, "Your meet."

DEG!!!

Lasius could not even react when the man was in front of him. Directing his left hand that was coated in black smoke with a thick death air. The attack was in front of his eyes, and Iloania was about to be taken away from him. But, why was he so slow in action?!

In that last second, before Lasius could move, a golden barrier first protected them. Not only protecting, but from the barrier appeared sharp tendrils that attacked the man blindly. Forcing him to retreat away from the place of Iloania and the others. Lasius actually breathed a sigh of relief because of those few seconds.

The man furrowed his brows in displeasure, and turned to look at Fleia raising her right hand which was emitting a clean golden light.

"God .. That was you back then, wasn't it?" Mumbled the man.
