Survivors of a catastrophe.
Helen woke with a start from her trance, her nose tingling, she buried her head in the embrace of the figure before her, venting her fear and excitement.
“I thought I might never see you again!”@@@@
“It’s all right, it’s all right...”
Luo En gently patted the girl’s back, comforting her softly, then looked up towards the distant courtyard.
Dozens of commoners, both old and young, clutched kitchen utensils and farming tools they had picked up, standing tentatively at the open door, wishing to come out in groups to help.
...
“Did you save these people?” Luo En asked, shifting Helen’s attention.
“Not really...” Helen replied softly, then realizing the situation was too public, hurriedly stood up from Luo En’s arms, and said with a tinge of shyness, “I saw they had nowhere to go and it was dangerous outside, so I let them in to take shelter.”
Suddenly, a look of trepidation appeared on the girl’s face.
“I didn’t stay inside as told, and even let strangers in, you won’t blame me, will you?”
“How could we? In times of emergency, you have to make quick decisions. You did well, and we are proud of you!”
Luo En smiled slightly, raised his hand to ruffle Helen’s drooping little head, responding with gravity.
No matter how Helen was judged in her original fate, at this moment, her deeds made her worthy of her demigod heritage, as well as a hero’s status.
The fact that she stood up at the crucial moment to help the weak with her strength was enough for Luo En to completely revise his opinion of this woman, who he had previously regarded as a calamity, and to gain respect for her.
Flattered by the praise from the one she admired, Helen’s face flushed red.
Just as the girl was mustering the courage to share more of her feelings with the person before her, the grating sound of bone friction once again filled the air.
At the same time, the corner of the blood-red cloud in the sky that had been torn apart came together and began to swirl again.
With a cold shout, a white blaze burst into flames around Luo En, and waves of light ripples spread outward.
All skeletons and spirits that touched these ripples came to a halt, the deathly aura surrounding them dissipating as snow before the sun, melting away instantly. The hateful and frenzied spirits also became calmer under the influence of the light.
Amid the pure white light, what they saw is unknown, but their lips curled into a contented and joyful smile, as their last lingering regrets drifted away with the wind.
As Luo En and Atalanta passed through the streets, the skeletons and spirits behind them crumbled away, merging back into the grey-black mist of death.
All things must return to dust, and to the earth.
Before long, Luo En’s forceful path-opening led them swiftly to the gates of the Royal Palace.
However, the landmark building of Arcadia had been completely transformed.
The dark red and turbid yellow Stygian waters flowed over the ground and buildings in manners that defied the laws of physics, twining and surging.
Faces twisted with malice boiled and screamed within the water and mist, as if welcoming the coming of their king.
So noisy!
Luo En scoffed, spear in hand, swung forward, and the bronze gate made of steel shattered like tofu. The Stygian Water and Netherworld spirits wrapped around it dissipated into nothing.
But in the next moment, dozens of the Divine Blood Guard, clad in bronze armor and armed with spears and shields, leaped from beyond the door, issuing a mad roar in unison.
“Immortality!”
“Immortality!!”
“Immortality!!!”
Luo En swept a glance over them, noticing the swollen, deformed limbs, and the deathly aura under the armor. He shook his head to Atalanta, signaling a warning.
