Serene turned her jaw away, her expression cool and arrogant.
She was the Emperor’s...
She was entangled with the Emperor’s fate; there was no way she would do something like this.
Serene scoffed, walking out.
She did not want to see Alban anymore and was nothing but annoyed.
Yet upon getting to the gap in the wall of the abyss, she could vaguely make out a ball of faint light…
To be exact, it was a ball of light enveloped in an ominous-looking fog!
Serene could not really make out what it was, but the light made her feel a bone-chilling pressure for some reason. It was somehow similar to the pressure she had felt from Emperor Greenbow…
Who was it?
Serene saw the ball of light come closer and closer.
She suddenly caught sight of a head right underneath the ball of light, seemingly pushing the ball of light upwards along the walls of the abyss.
All of a sudden, the light disappeared. The fog surrounding it seemed to lose its direction, dispersing into the air.
The head also disappeared into the fog.
Serene stopped short, mumbling to herself, “Who’s that… why are they wrapped in such a bright light…”
Before she could finish, a terrifying face appeared in front of her!
The human head had gotten closer out of nowhere.
Serene screamed in terror, stumbling backwards before tripping, and almost falling down the abyss!
She reeled in shock and fury, glowering at the head.
The head’s mouth had been sewn shut, but a part of it was cracked open in a bone-chilling smile. The string pulled on her skin, making a line of blood trickle out.
It was terrifying!
Serene shouted, “Get lost! Don’t make me fight you…”
The human head did not seem scared at all, coming closer and closer. Serene somehow felt like she was going to get her mouth sewn shut.
Serene was pretty certain... Anything coming from the abyss would definitely be too powerful for her, and she also risked falling down the abyss while fighting.
She gripped her sword, wriggling on the floor. Gone was any of the arrogance from before as she stumbled backwards, wanting nothing more than to get away from the cliff.
Only for the head to stop and disappear again in the next second.
Serene blinked. The next second, a figure shot down from above the cliff, radiating a faint purple-green flow.
Serene could not really tell who it was from the gap, but her chest lurched in fright all the same. She crawled out, peeking beneath her…
The abyss seemed to look back.
