"No, I've never seen this statue before" Leila followed suit and was also staring at the statue.
Then abruptly, a loud noise was heard above the almost collapsed ceiling, causing the chamber to sway and, rocks were falling from above.
"QUICK! Princess, stay close to me!" Using the stone figure to cover some of the falling rocks, Neil utilizes his Qi to strengthen the statue, then encircling themselves a protective barrier.
Even though Neil didn't know who the person is, it was like instructing him to stay close to it when the rocks started dropping.
Moreover, they did not notice that the statue was also shielding them the whole time they kept their eyes closed.
Later the rocks ceased falling. Leila and Neil slowly open their eyes. However, what they saw was out of their imaginations a big hole appeared on top of them, and light came into view, yet the more shocking scene was around them they saw lots of blood, and body parts have stained the rocks everywhere.
"What the lord happened?" Neil recovered very fast from shock due to being experienced on the battlefield, so this kind of scene is somewhat like a catapult had targeted them and killing all of them.
"Let's get out of here now, Neil. These guys are from the zulims."
"Sh*t! So they have already planned our burial here.."
Despite the gruesome, Leila is oddly calm when assessing even going to one of the bodies that only the upper part is intact and guess the identity because of the noticeable tattoo that belongs only to the elite of the zulims, but inwardly she was shaking, knowledge is the only thing she can do up until now, despite knowing about this world through her father and seeing it from up close was no small matter.
"Yeah, reinforcements from the enemy will be here soon. Let's climb our way up here.
"Ouch~!" Neil returned from the statue after also checking every part thoroughly to find some clue regarding this incident. He gestured to the princess to climb this statue, but something hard fell from his head, looking up and saw a skinny man sitting cross leg on the right arm of the statue smiling at him.
"Hi, friend, mind giving me that gun? It fell from my hand." Waking up from the sound, adam, enduring the exhaustion from what he fired earlier, used up all his energies from one bullet fainting him on the spot, falling to this place.
"Okay, here! Catch!" Not trusting the man Neil forms qi like a spear to his right palm, throwing it as fast as he can to the man who he guesses might be a zulim survivor.
~Wooosh~
Adam dodged the skill as he falls back smoothly, but no, he just lost consciousness on time. Neil was so shocked that his pride skill that was almost accurate even a Ruby Grade powerhouse might think twice dodging his spear up close and what's more is that with that small distance, that man should be a corpse by now.
"Hmph! Do you think you can escape my spear just like that! Die!"
"STOP!"
Neil was about to throw another spear that he was forming on his left palm after the first one is a miss but abruptly gestured to stop by the princess, that was rushing towards adam very fast. She caught adam like a knight carrying a princess.
"Didn't you see this guy had no energy left! You tried killing a potential hostage! Idiot!" Depressed from the yelling of the princess, Neil walks to the back of the statue and sits on it as he hugs his knees.
#####
"Where...am." Adam wakes up feeling dizzy, wanting to touch his head. Oddly something was restraining him. He keeps on twitching his hands until he heard someone's voice bringing back his consciousness to reality.
"It's no use. How about you tell us what has happened, huh?."
"Neil! I told you to don't scare him!"
Adam finally saw his surroundings. Everywhere only trees and dense fog in front of him while tied to a tree, a silhouette is slowly coming into view. It was supposed to be two, but Adam ignored the other one because he was mesmerized, hypnotized, love at first sight, or whatever you call it, although many beauties appeared in his life, this woman particularly like a spear that was thrown randomly and piercing his chest.
"What kingdom are you from? Do you remember anything from the explosion?" Sweetly said Leila as she sits close in front of Adam, who was still staring at her like an idiot.
"Hey! The princess asked you something, better behave, or I'll scoop that lustful eyes of yours" Neil couldn't stand it anymore when Adam keeps didn't speak for a long time, only gazing at the princess.
"Oh, sorry, i don't know what's happening either, one thing i was here. Oh you know earth?... You know the many square metal big with many windows.. ahh.. cars broom broom, you guys know it?~" Said excitedly by adam, not knowing the expressions of the two listening to his explanations. Leila and Neil were dumbfounded hearing Adam they thought he had gone mad from the incident.
"Let's put him to sleep, princess." Said Neil as he looked at the princess who was staring at Adam, amused by the fact that her 'Fortune Of Trigrams' did not detect any lies coming from this man.
"Okay-"
"No!! Ru-" Leila was about to use a sleeping skill when a black figure from a distance was coming close to them before they even take the next step in a blink of an eye, a black crow tall as a person arrived before them.
~Swoosh~
A spear just passed through the crow like a shadow. Neil was petrified as he watches the crow gradually closing into the princess and Adam.
"We will buy you as much time, run as fast as possible, and report this occurrence to any kingdoms you come across, especially to my kingdom, the acheron... I trust you..." Whisper Leila while she untied Adama without looking back at the crow behaving like a chicken still gawking at them.
"Now go! Neil stall-"
"Who told you to be cute! Chicken, don't frighten your future master." Adam hugged the princess tight on her slim waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder, smiling but happy moments has a heavy price, a punch straight to his face knocking him out cold.
