ashes rained from the sky, black clouds assembled on top of the city, the original gloomy city became more gloomy, terror hung on the air and the people were horrified.
I stand facing Li Xiang before I ask, " are you sure nothing will happen"
"The future is unknown", Li says
"do we have to go?"
"yes"
"I need energy sources, as much as you can get, we can't go unprepared, give me some time and I'll make it more safer to go in"
"....., actually the more we delay, the more dangerous it will be", Li went silent for a moment then answered
"I don't care, I'll just make it twice safer and I trust your abilities you'll bring me those sources before it gets more dangerous "
" as you wish your highness"
"Are you making fun of me?"
"I don't dare", I'm just teasing you
"..."
Li Xiang had already left when I opened the Poseidon shop,
I need to take precautions from everything possible, shields are a must, escaping talismans are also a must, I already have some healing pills from the mirror world, I also thought about the probability of air poisoning inside, I also need a weapon other than the cloud ink brush, this one has to contain attacking power, at best it compliments my brush abilities, so if I a can use a weapon that can hide between the smoke, I won't waste my money and the power will be greatly coordinated.
I already have a weapon in my mind, the price is a little bit expensive but affordable, Java barb strings ornament costs 500 EP, I just need to absorb both the cloud ink brush and the Java b string ornament's martial art guide.
"let's not waste more and start collecting EP", I then start the usual crying routine.
time passed by, well not much actually just 2 hours and Li Xiang came back, he directly takes out his loot
"This is it?",10 small blue stones like sapphire laid on top of Li Xiang's hands
"It might be little but the energy you can get from it is unmatched "
I take one and put it inside the wallet button,
'1million!!!',i cried in surprise
1 million EP for each oval sapphire !! that is 10 000 000 EP!! I can buy a spaceship with it, not that the shop has it .
I look at Li Xiang's face seriously," Li"
"you are my hero, I swear to god if you were not a guy, I would've kissed that handsome face of yours", I said every word slowly as if I mean it
"so, if I was a woman you would kiss me?"
"of course not, that's sexual harassment genius "
I straight go open the shop and buy the weapon, two escape talismans that cost 1000 EP for one use, one-touch one weakened talisman cost 7000 EP, the instructions say that it can weaken anything below middle god level, the price is worth it, I was about to buy something in case we got air poisoned but remembered that my tear pearl ability is world-class best when it comes to purification. I then bought different shields gadgets for me and Li Xiang.
I asked Li for tips, he then suggest that having some kind of transport not easy to detect inside would be helpful, but when I checked the system I couldn't find any, mostly were vehicle artifacts with extravagant look or sea and air mounts not suitable underground.
Li Xiang sensed his dilemma so he caressed Erha's head, "don't worry, leave the matter of transport to me "
hearing this,i remember that this guy has that incredible ability to create and modify machine stuff.
everything is purchased, all is left is the delivery
dark lines showed up on the top of my head,' we've been waiting for ages, the night fell and the package still didn't arrive , I'm so nervous but the guy beside me wasn't nervous and he did not even question why we were waiting, the only explanation I can think about is whether he's too cool to care with the 'i'm all strong and mighty nothing phases me' pose or he trusts me blindly .
'poof!!'
a package came out from nowhere, startling Li Xiang, he immediately takes back his composure and observes curiously, "Erha's ability needs source energy, I take that as a currency, with it he can purchase a variety of stuff , there's also the weird method of sending the package, it's not that difficult to guess, that it has something to do with the shop, if I'm not mistaking this ability rank is higher then celestial "
'everything is ready, time to go!!'
"wait!", my cool acting of walking slowly got interrupted by Li Xiang," I still need to go make a vehicle "
"ok, fine, whatever", my cheeks were puffed mostly because I was ashamed, don't tell me I can't get that what he said was just an excuse so he won't embarrass me because while I was acting cool gangsta style walking on the roof, I forgot I was in the roof!! so I directly walked toward the edge of the building.
Li Xiang looked at the thin back, imagining the expression he is making now and also remembering what he just did, then smiled contentedly
' silly '
'and cute'
we stepped inside, everything was dark so Li Xiang took out a spotlight hand lamp, holding hands we walked slowly we drift into the darkness.

the sliding took a tool on my feet, not only did I miss my foot landing many times but I also had to apply a lot of force, the impact is clear on my legs, they are swollen, inflamed and in pain.
thank goodness I had healing pills, it might look like I'm wasting the pills because I am, it is not my fault that I can't tolerate pain, I was born with a golden fork.
"finally, flat ground !", I breathe in and out
"are you ok?", says Li
"I'm fine"
looking around using the spotlight hand lamp we spotted 6 tunnels surrounding us
"Which one should we go in?"
"We don't have time, just pick one at random "
patterns started appearing once we walked deeper, drawings of a horse, people with long ears kowtowing, and a one-eyed giant, we kept walking forward, during that time we could hear screeching giving the scene scary aftereffects.
"GRRrrlll"
"shaaa..."
suddenly we hear sounds of crashing, slashing we figured from it that there is a fight in front of us, we look at each other nod then separated, I go right, he goes left, we turned lights off
I can see the clearest so I learned to take a peek to monitor the situation
the view wasn't clear but I can still outline the situation, only 2 individuals are participating in this fight, the key point is both are not human plus they're different species, one is like an insect and the other does have a human figure but his legs sold him out, they are shaped closer to a gazelle leg with sharp edges.
the fight is intense making me confused, the two are fighting for something I just can't get why I can't see the thing they're fighting for, the object is invisible can only be seen by them.
Li signal to me that we need to breakthrough
'Finally, time to practice the new martial arts I got ', who can suppress the enthusiasm of martial arts, that's the romance of man!! if I can practice more in the future I'll even get to have muscles far better than Li Xiang's
the darkness is a good cover but not good enough these monsters obviously fight with no hindrance, so I dispersed ink clouds first on the battlefield, Li Xian went in with his long blood-red spear. he shoots himself ahead like an arrow towards the human-like figure, the other evaded his spear next moment his shoulder got stabbed by an axe stroke, the axe came out from nowhere into Li's hand, the creature was confused but it didn't last long, he distinctly retreated away, of course, my strings were already placed behind him tripping and inflicting some injury on left leg.
the huge insect creature on the side also jumped to attack Li Xiang so I quickly used my strings to restrain it.
I was too happy and I made a mistake, I exposed my position by accidentally hitting a small rock, the insect had good hearing and directly used its tail towards me.
'BAAM', the roof of the tunnel fell
"Erha!!!", Li left his position and stood in front of the rubble
"I'm ok ", I obviously dodged that, it just my dodging wasn't professional cause I just throw myself with no plan to the side inflicting some minor injuries.
"behind you!!", I yell with my eyes wide open, the man-creature foot is 5 inches away from Li's face, my eyes react on their own and shut themself refusing to see the gruesome scene.
I did not hear any impact sound so I open my eyes to see Li Xiang holding the monster's leg using only his hand
"handsome", I blurted out
purple flame burst out from Li's hand enveloping the creature, screeching voices came out from the monster as it slowly withered.
the air around Li Xiang was gloomy, full of killing intent and heavy pressure, furthermore, the other monster also felt the threat so it started shaking and retreating slowly, it looked to the right then rushed with all of its power to escape.
too bad, her opponent is no one other than the protagonist of this world.
a blurry gradually appeared on its way, deeming her escape route worthless it decided to fight till her last breath.
the poor insect didn't even get to ready its fighting posture before it got its face annihilated
'Bam'
'Bam'
'BAMM'
I lean on the wall to stand up then go towards where the crashing sounds are coming from to see the back of Li Xiang with a heavy breath surrounding him keeps hitting the corpse over and over to mush.
"Liii...!", I stutter when I call him, to be honest, his state kinda intimidates me though worries me, Li who heard the call turned his face showing one of his eyes bright red that got me frozen; that's when I knew he wasn't being himself.
"Li!!", I call him again but he still did not snap out of it, rather he stood and went toward me
"Li!!!", I call again frustrated, he's being so weird and his eyes scare me so I closed my eyes
Li footsteps has long reached me and stood facing me but nothing happened and when I was about to open my eyes, Li embraced me, "it's ok, don't be afraid"
I immediately soften, "good, let's continue"
"do you want to ask me something ?", Li looks ate my eyes then says
" if you wanna tell me, then tell just leave till we leave here", I say
I'll be lying if I say I don't want to know but I'll be rude and insensitive if I force him to tell me , even I have secrets; I know I'm not good at hiding them but Li never asked me about them, he just straight trusted me
I look up at Li Xiang's eyes and with determination, I open my mouth,
"I trust you "
