Prime Originator Chapter 594 - The Fissure

Chapter 594 - The Fissure

Shortly after returning to the Worldspace, Leon and Aria were quickly dressed before Leon took them back outside.
Very quickly, Leon noticed Soft Feather was already waiting for them, and one her back, Duna eyed them with a mischievous smile, "I wonder where the two of you have been, hm hm?"
"You know where." Leon scratched his cheeks wryly.
Duna wore an expression that says she saw through everything, but at the same time, Leon vaguely sensed some jealousy in her gaze.
"Where, where? I don't know." Soft Feather asked curiously.
Leon threw Soft Feather a glance and coolly said, "You don't need to know that," causing the Blue Luan's mood to quickly plummet with a sulking expression.
"Hmph!" Soft Feather snorted and spat with puffed cheeks, "Wasn't interested anyway."
Shortly after, Leon glanced around for a moment before he asked, "Where's Lilith? Is she not back yet?"
"I guess not? We weren't together. Maybe she will come back soon enough if we just wait a bit longer." Duna responded nonchalantly.
"I see." Leon nodded before he inquired, "I heard you all weren't to look around. Did you find anything interesting?"
Duna did not answer.
Instead, she shifted her gaze to Soft Feather before the Blue Luan spat with disdain, "A Low-rank tribe can't possibly have anything interesting of value in this backward place. If you want to find rare treasures, you have at least look in the mainland's region."
"Oh?" Leon immediately turned to Soft Feather with interest before requesting, "Care to elaborate, Miss Soft Feather? What is different about the mainland?"
"The mainland is on a far higher ground than you can possibly imagine." Soft Feather immediately strutted with a haughty look as she continued, "It's not a place that humans can survive. The strong suppressive force would crush you all to death—"
Suddenly, Soft Feather paused as she glanced at Leon before she said, "Well, you might be an exception to that. But other humans will die without a doubt with those weak bodies of theirs."
"However, the mainland's harsh environment—"
"—The harsh environment also gives birth to exotic plants and oddities that can only survive—or is strong enough to survive in such a harsh environment, right?" Leon interrupted.
Soft Feather stamped her feet in annoyance due to Leon stealing the words right out of her mouth.
Even so, she still grudgingly nodded, "That's right. It's a place for the strong, and that includes plants, among others things as well. Basically, the quality of things is much higher there than out here."
"Makes sense." Leon nodded in agreement.
Swoosh~!
Suddenly, Lilith's figure flew over with her single feathered black wing before she hollered, "Leon, I found something strange! You should come and take a look."
Leon raised an eyebrow, noticing a bit faint trace of redness in Lilith's eyes before he urged her, "Come over here quickly for a second."
"Hm? What is it?" Lilith asked as she made her over as Leon requested.
Leon patted her head before he extracted a string of Wrath Demonic Energies from her body—much to her alarm.
"Is that—?"
"Yeah, it's Wrathful Demonic Energy that infiltrated your body. You need to be more careful next time. You wouldn't be this lucky if I wasn't around to notice it quickly," Leon warned her before saying, "Show me what you found."
"R-Right…" Lilith nodded, thinking she owed Leon another for saving her once again. She shook her head shortly before saying, "Follow me."
"Alright." Leon nodded before suggesting to the others, "Let us all head over together to see what Lilith discovered."
"Mm."
The group quickly reached a consensus.
Sometime later, the group left the vicinity of the Skysilver Tribe's ruins under Lilith's lead and headed deeper west before they stopped some distance away from a large crack in the ground.
"This is what I wanted to show you." Lilith pointed at the long fissure with visible red mist oozing out of its opening.
"Some much Wrathful Demonic Energy is coming out from this opening… There must be a power source located somewhere nearby." Leon frowned with narrowed eyes before warning the others, "All of you should back off a bit."
Shortly after, Leon stepped forward reached out with his hands.
Swoosh~!
The billowing clouds of red mist were quickly sucked towards the tips of Leon's hands like a cyclone before he clenched his fist and refined everything inside his Black Vortex Space.
Remnant traces of unabsorbed Wrathful Demonic Energy were dispersed by the power of Nihility as they scattered from his clenched fist.
"Aria." Leon suddenly called.
Swoosh~!
Not many words were needed to be spoken between him and Aria as she quickly understood his intention.
She flew forward and sealed the fissure with her Ice Law, preventing further red mist before escaping before landing beside Leon.
Leon smiled and gave her head a rub.
Shortly after, he shifted his gaze onto the frozen fissure with a thoughtful look.
"Since we discovered this thing here, I should go destroy the Energy Conversion Tower hidden below…" Leon muttered before turning to Lilith, "Will you mind if our trip to the Desolate Crow Clan is delayed slightly further?"
"I do want to return home sooner, but this doesn't seem like a problem we should ignore…" Lilith shifted her gaze to blood-soaked fields littered with the rotting fleshes of corpses all around them.
The beautiful lush green plains of the Wildlands had been transformed into a bloody wasteland.
"Do what you need to do, Leon," stated Lilith.
Leon nodded before Aria gazed into his eyes with a request, "Let me come with you."
"I can agree if it was anything else, but not this. You don't have an effective means of resisting the Wrathful Demonic Energy. Just leave this one to me, okay?" Leon dissuaded with a gentle tone.
Aria immediately knitted her brows before she ultimately nodded, albeit unwillingly.
"What about me?" Duna stood up with a nonchalant look, but she was readying to seek some thrills in the subterranean world and relieve her boredom.
Nevertheless, Leon shook his head and denied her too, "This isn't some school excursion. You will stay back too. I will be quick, then we will be on our way."
Getting rejected, Duna glared at him.
