"I can't fail, I must protect them".
At this point, Dean was already kneeling with one leg with his right hand positioned on his chest to slow down the blood running out of him.
"Plink, plink…" Even the pressure placed on the injury did not calm down the blood from running out. Not up to a minute he felt his knee already soaked with blood.
Looking down he saw his blood all over the ground where he was at. The blood was still rushing from the injury.
"Is this the end, will I die here, worst of all I will not be able to protect those that I was asked to protect"
"What a waste"
Going through the pain of failing with blood pumping through his hand from his Chest.
Dean did his best to take a look at the ladies that were inside the room with him.
"No, I must protect them, even if is to buy time before others will come and render help"
When he saw the look of despair and hopelessness written on the faces of the ladies, he could not help but feel a higher level of pain
"Argh!...
The sound of agony filled with bitterness of not being useful to those around you, was what escaped from Dean's mouth, and those I'm the room who heard it felt troubling pain in their hearts.
The ladies were more depressed when they heard it than the two cultivators who have had a lot of kills on their list.
"Finally shouting in pain, okay you can die now"
The short cultivator said but before he could take action he felt something strange.
He saw the blood coming out from the cut from Dean boiling with little bubbles forming. Even the blood on the ground was still boiling like water that was being heated and had gotten to the point where it turned to gas.
"What is happening to me"
Dean said surprised with what was happening to him; it was something he had not experienced before.
"Will this help me"
Dean thought to himself
"Damn!..." Dean shouted to the surprise of everyone in the room, the impact was more on the cultivator that was standing right in front of Dean.
He saw all that was happening to Dean and felt like some miracle was about to take place but what he saw next was Dean getting dizzy and was about to pass out.
"In the end, you decide to take your life by yourself." The short cultivator said mockingly.
Before he finished his statement they all saw Dean going unconscious with no sign of life coming from him. He was fully dead at that moment.
"Ladies, your protector has already decided his path, since he knows he is not going to survive in any way."
Dean felt his consciousness fading away but was not willing to leave.
"Am I dead where am I?" Dean opened his eyes to take a look at where he was but it was unfamiliar to him.
Where Dean found himself, was in complete darkness with nothing in it like he was in some kind of void in space and could not see his hands or the environment he was in because of the dark the place was.
"Hey…..
"Did I hear something"
Dean felt like he heard the voice of someone but he was confused cause he could not see anyone around him, with how dark the place was he could not even see himself very well not to think of seeing someone or something.
"Little Lad, you heard me the first right". The voice spoke this time more clearly.
"What is happening?" Dean felt like things were out of place like he was over-thinking, who could be talking here
"Are you dumb?
Before Dean could put his thoughts together the voice came again
"Why ain't you answering" said the voice.
"No, I am a little bit confused, where am I".
Dean spoke back since he was already dead and there was nothing to fear, there was no way he could die again right?
"Oh you can talk, that's good," the voice said and continued speaking.
"You are in my zone and am Zi so you are in Zi zone"
"Zi zone, is it some kind of afterlife special world" Dean asked.
"Hahaha, afterlife? The voice questioned while laughing.
"You are not dead, little one, don't get all worked up."
"I drew your consciousness here, 'cause you are now able to access my zone," The voice said to Dean.
"access your zone, what does that even mean?
Dean was even more confused with all that was going on.
"Don't worry too much about trying to understand what is happening right now as time goes on you will have more knowledge about me, there is no hurry we are together".
The voice said as soon as the voice was done the whole place lit up.
Dean found out that he was standing on a wooden platform with different caving on it, like some special symbols on it, but he was unable to recognize any of the symbols.
After seeing the platform he took a look at where he was. He found out that it was a room about a hundred feet in a square form with the platform in the middle of the room about twenty feet in the form of a square.
"Where is the person that I was speaking to?"
Dean said lightly looking around the room to see if he could find who he was talking to earlier but to his surprise there was no one around, just inside a white room on an old wooden platform like some ancient tree that was cut to make furniture.
"Don't worry little one you won't be able to see me for now, the stronger you get the more you will be able to achieve" said Zi
"Hmm" Dean did not know how to answer, he felt like since he started speaking with Zi, it's like he had no brain which was not a good feeling for him.
"You just need to go back and deal with those guys who almost took your life," Zi said but from the voice, it sounded like it was in a struggle
