Chapitre 77: Bottom Of The Dark Abyss
Aizen looks up as the floor of the collapsed arena they fell on is slowly recovering until it is completely closed, leaving them plunging into the dark with no light.
'Amazing... To be able to recover automatically like that. I'm more and more curious about the technology that is here. Axel, wouldn't it be wonderful if all of our equipment could do self-repair automatically? ' Aizen was amazed as he brought out the simple lighting to make the six cultivator girls less agitated.
'Yes, Master Aizen. If we can implement it at [Axel Goddess], we can make even more significant technological advances.' Axel nodded in agreement in Aizen's embrace.
'Why are you two taking it easy? We're falling! Fall into a dark abyss! I don't know what terrible things await us Uuu...' Unlike Aizen and Axel, Ana is terrified as she hugs Aizen's body tightly.
'All right, Ana. Keep your eyes closed and rest assured that everything will be all right. We can detect 2 kilometers around us, and it will be time for us to take precautions if things go wrong.' Aizen tries to calm his terrified daughter in the dark.
'Yes, Sister Ana. We're still here side by side together. Listen to Master Aizen's heartbeat to shift your focus.' Axel advised gently.
'En.' Ana nodded gently before closing her eyes and listening to Aizen's beating heart, at least it succeeded in making her fearless.
Then Aizen manipulates his energy to pull and bring the six girls who had also fallen with them close to each other.
"Miss Lin Yu, Miss Feng Zhi. Hold your junior sister's hand, make sure you don't get separated later!" Aizen exclaimed after bringing them together.
Lin Yu and Feng Zhi nodded to Aizen in the current low light to hold each other's hands with their junior sisters.
In contrast to Lin Yu's junior sisters who had calmed down quite a bit and were holding hands tightly to their sisters to one another, Feng Zhi's junior sisters actually hugged Feng Zhi's body while their hands were held by her.
"Whoa! Senior Sister, we fell and we have no way back!" Shen Xiu exclaimed in despair.
"It's all dark! What terrible things await us down there... Mommy!" Xiao Ru was also terrified and hugged Feng Zhi's body tightly as if she was a pillar of support.
"Calm yourselves down, ok? We'll be fine. Haven't you forgotten we have a lot of life-saving treasure? Not to mention that teleportation talisman, and look there, Young Master Aizen is still calm."
Feng Zhi tried to calm her junior sister once again by pointing out the facts they had until she managed to make them regain their composure.
"It's good that all of you have calmed down. I'll turn off this lighting so we don't become striking targets later." Aizen said before turning off the lighting to prevent future harm because a light in the dark would sometimes attract attention from something they didn't expect.
The nine of them fell rapidly underground without being able to use any flight techniques and were only accompanied by one another without knowing what awaited them.
A few moments passed without any sign of them approaching the bottom of the dark abyss until Lin Yu could no longer bear to ask.
"Mr. Aizen, how far have we fallen?" Lin Yu asked lightly while looking to the side, she could see Aizen's group still there with her vision channeled by her spirit energy.
In contrast to Feng Zhi who seemed to be looking for a favor by calling him 'young master', Lin Yu only addressed Aizen politely.
"Right now we are five thousand kilometers underground and we are still being pulled down pretty quickly." Aizen answered lightly.
Lin Yu nodded in the dark before hugging her two junior sisters to assure them that they would be fine, although Lin Yu was also getting a little restless and worried.
She didn't know how Aizen could have calculated such a thing, but she did know that Aizen knew many things that were not said, not to mention his abilities that she could not measure and guess. Surprisingly she believes in him and feels comfortable in his group which is strongly supported by her hunch that she can always rely on.
"Ah? There is a light. Is that the bottom?" Shen Xiu exclaimed when he saw a small light that looked far below. Hearing that, the other five cultivator girls also looked farther down with their advanced vision.
Aizen and Axel were already aware of that, and they had prepared their landing methods to avoid injury.
As soon as they came out of a dark ravine that turned out to be similar to a wormhole, they were greeted by a bluish-green lake that was so calm in the middle of a place like a large cave.
"Hold yourselves, I will lighten your fall." Aizen said while manipulating the gravity and assisted by Axel to reduce the fall force that was still too high for the nine of them.
"We understand." The six girls nodded as they prepared themselves to fall into the lake.
*Splash* *Splash* *Splash*
They still sink into the lake a little deeper even though Aizen and Axel have drastically reduced the force of their fall.
Aizen immediately swam back to the surface with the two girls still in his arms.
"Fuah... We were pulled here to soak together, huh?" Aizen said while looking around.
'Ana, can you release your tight hug? We were already at the bottom of the dark abyss earlier, more precisely in the middle of the lake.' Aizen coaxes her gently in his mind.
'I can't swim. So please take me to the shore of the lake.' Ana opened her eyes before looking at Aizen for a pleading request.
'Hmm... You can't swim, but you can float while rowing, right? It can be called swimming, you know. Looks like in this lake we can't fly over the edge...' Aizen refuted with a fact.
'That can't be! I suddenly forgot how to do that... Oh! I'm drowning... See? ' Ana replied back before releasing her arms and pretending to be drowning then wrapping her arms around Aizen's neck as her life support pillar.
Aizen shook his head slightly while smiling wryly at his daughter's behavior. 'It's hard for me to swim with two girls hugging me tightly.'
'Sister Axel, you can swim, right? Give favor to this poor girl who can't swim, please... I'll give you lots of candy and sweets later hehe...' Ana joked cheerfully with a bright smile.
'Fine, but I'm not a child.' Axel released Aizen's hug and swam to the shore of the lake.
'Hehe...' Ana giggled happily in Aizen's arms as he swam to the shore of the lake too.
As the three of them approached the shore of the lake, the six girls who had fallen with them just appeared one by one to the surface of the lake and immediately took a breath. The six of them sank deep enough into the lake and they could not swim as fast as Aizen to reach the surface.
After checking that the six of them were still complete, then seeing Aizen's group heading to the shore of the lake ahead of them, they nodded silently as if they agreed to swim to shore following Aizen's group.
