Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 346: Charlotte Is Injured

Diana also found that inconceivable. Due to her cultivation and status, her storage artifact was already quite extraordinary. However, there would be no way she could store such a massive mother worm’s corpse!

Alina’s face turned red. She was just as shocked as the others.

"Maybe my luck is just good, haha..." Sharky trailed off, as thunderous noises erupted in the distance. How could there be thunder underground?

Charlotte’s expression changed. She cried, "Oh no, the spatial rift!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The group was alarmed, and they quickly headed in the direction of the noise.

Soon afterward, an open space appeared before them. There, a pitch-black rift floated in midair. It was shaped almost like an eye that was rotated ninety degrees, narrow on either end and wider in the bottom.

The spatial rift was similar to a wormhole out of a science fiction movie. In its vicinity, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. It was clearly extremely unstable. In addition, several terrifying silhouettes deep within appeared to be trying to break through the lightning and rush out of the spatial rift.

"As expected, without that mother worm asserting its dominance, the other creatures now want a slice of the pie too," Diana said, her expression grave.

Just then, Sharky summoned the Fire Phoenix. He unleashed a Flame Blade that was several dozen meters long directly at the pitch-black rift. However, when it approached the rift, the enormous Flame Blade became incredibly small, immediately disappearing into the space within the rift.

"It’s useless. The space within the spatial rift is folded in on itself. You cannot damage it," Charlotte said, shaking her head.

"Then what do we do?" Sharky asked, feeling dejected.

"It would be great if senior brother were here..." Alina said. "His achievements in the field runes are extremely profound. He would be able to neutralize the spatial force here."

Sharky was briefly stunned. Then, he realized that she was talking about Liana’s master, Principal Scarlett’s first disciple.

"Caden is indeed an incredible genius. I’ve heard that his knowledge in runes has already reached an incredible level," Diana remarked. She had naturally heard about such people, who were at the top of their fields. She continued, "But there’s nothing to worry about. He might not be here, but this woman has a way." She pointed at Charlotte and said, "The White Jade Sect’s knowledge regarding runes is on the same level as Casen’s."

"Caden is without equal in the field of runes. However, we only need to deal with this spatial rift, so I can give it a try," Charlotte said as she walked forward. She raised her Flying Snow Sword, then began drawing strange and profound runes in the air.

At first, she drew runes at a normal speed, but over time, she slowed down greatly. Furthermore, her body began to shake visibly.

"What’s up with you?" Diana asked in confusion.

"Nothing," Charlotte replied. She took a deep breath, then continued to draw. When she finished the final stroke, the rift trembled and began to change.

Charlotte’s complexion was pale as she said weakly, "Hurry, attack it with all your strength. You should be able to destroy it directly now."

Sharky didn’t dare to hesitate. He once again summoned the massive Flame Blade, and he also used the Ice Phoenix Sword Formation. He used everything he had against the spatial rift.

Diana didn’t show any negligence either. She gathered the strength she had recovered over time, lashing out with a palm.

Even Alina attacked with all her power.

Several streaks of light collided with the rift. They were no longer absorbed by the mysterious space as before, but rather made proper contact with the edges of the rift.

With a huge explosion, the thunder and lightning inside the rift ran amok. Waves of destructive aura gushed out of it. The terrifying figures inside screamed miserably, then all turned into ashes. The spatial rift closed like an eye, instantly disappearing into nothingness.

Afterward, the entire mine began to rock back and forth. It was far more intense than the previous shaking. The ground was quaking so hard that it was hard to stand still. Rocks tumbled down from the ceiling with no signs of stopping.

Alina’s expression changed. She cried, "No! This entire mine is about to collapse..." A deafening noise erupted in the distance as soon as she spoke.

Diana let out a forced laugh and said, "That noise seems to be coming from the cave entrance. It’s already collapsed, and we’re trapped here."

"What?!" Alina exclaimed. Her complexion was completely pale. This mine was the Frost clan’s foundation. If it really did collapse, that would be a fatal blow to the Frost clan.

Who knew how much manpower and resources would be needed to clean up such a mine? The worst part was that it would take a lot of time. They might not be able to resume operations within ten years. The Frost clan was already breaking apart. How much longer would they even be able to hold on?

Sharky quickly said, "Let’s hurry and find a safe place so we don’t end up getting buried alive here."

There was rubble falling all around them. The place wouldn’t last for much longer.

"This way!" Alina called out. She quickly calmed down, as she was the one who was the most familiar with the place.

Sharky began to follow her, but suddenly felt that something wasn’t right. When he turned around, he saw that Charlotte hadn’t moved. Instead, she staggered a bit and fell to the ground. Sharky jumped in fright and rushed over and caught her, asking, "What’s wrong?"

Charlotte opened her eyes slightly. When she saw that it was him, she pushed him away in embarrassment, snapping, "I am fine! Let go of me already!"

"You can’t even stand still! What do you mean you’re fine?" Sharky shot back. He naturally didn’t let go of her. He carried her and quickly returned to Alina, avoiding several chunks of earth and rocks crashing down from above along the way. Several times, falling debris brushed against their clothes. They might already have been buried underground if they had moved any more slowly.

Charlotte raised her head to look at the man who was carrying her. She was suddenly a bit absentminded as she watched him go through the ordeal in such a sorry state. She also wants to stay in his arms, but she was so embarrassed that she wasn’t able to say it.

Her cultivation was extraordinary, so she had always been the one to protect others. When had anyone else ever come to protect her? This was the first time she had experienced being protected by someone else, and furthermore a man. It really was a strange feeling.

Her cheeks turned a bit red when she thought of that. She looked away awkwardly to avoid seeing him anymore.

The group continued for several dozen meters. Only then did the shaking gradually weaken.

The cave behind them had already been buried by rocks, but they still felt lingering fear. If they had been a bit slower, they might have been completely buried underneath. If they were at their strongest, Diana and Charlotte might have been able to survive. But in their present condition, being buried like that would be nothing short of a death sentence.

"Stone cold woman, how did you end up becoming so weak and delicate?" Diana remarked. She noticed that the way out had already been completely sealed. It was hard to say whether they would even be able to return to the surface, so her mood was obviously terrible.

Charlotte was about to reply, but when she opened her small mouth, she suddenly coughed out blood.

Diana had been feeling a hint of happiness from seeing her suffer, but when she saw that the blood was black, her expression changed. She asked, "You’ve been poisoned?"

"Just a bit of poison; it is not a big deal..." Charlotte began. Before she could finish her sentence, however, Diana had already grabbed her wrist. At any other time, Charlotte definitely wouldn’t let her nemesis check her own pulse. But at that point, she was so weak that she was completely powerless to resist.

Diana checked her pulse, and her expression instantly became grave. She cried, "Not a big deal? You’re already half a step away from the gates of hell!"

Sharky and Alina jumped in fright, asking, "What’s going on here?!"

Sharky felt that his hands were a bit clammy. He quickly lifted Charlotte up, then lifted his hands to check them. His hands were covered in strangely black-tinged blood. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s once spotlessly white clothes were also covered in bloodstains.

Sharky suddenly recalled how she had saved him from that Earthworm. He asked, "Were you hit by the dark light fired from the worm’s mouth?"

Charlotte’s lips were already turning pale. She said indifferently, "Things ended up like this because I was injured. At any other time, that attack would not have hit me no matter how hard it tried."

Diana sneered. "You’re already on the verge of death, and yet you’re still putting on this act. Does everyone from your White Jade Sect care about appearances this much?"

Charlotte wanted to retort, but she didn’t even have enough strength to do that anymore.

"Sigh, it’s all my fault in the end. You were acting weird, but I didn’t notice in time," Diana said, her voice suddenly softening. She didn’t continue arguing either.

Charlotte was a bit surprised. She replied, "Shouldn’t you be happy if I die?"

"Hmph, of course I’d be happy if I killed you in a proper match. What’s there to be happy about seeing you die like this?" Diana retorted. She fished out a pill and brought it up to Charlotte’s mouth, saying, "This is an antidote. But that Earthworm’s poison has already seeped into your meridians and inner organs. This pill can only buy you a bit more time."

Charlotte shook her head and said, "Why is there a need to feel happy about birth or fear death? I have already resigned myself and do not fear death, so why should I owe you a favor before I pass on?"

"Stone cold woman, why are you always so pig-headed?" Charlotte gritted her teeth. She really had the urge to grab the woman’s head and slam it against the ground.

Moreover, she has gotten the promise that she would follow her, so if she died, how can she follow him?

Sharky said weakly, "Actually... I can heal you."

Charlotte didn’t know where she got the strength to do so, but when she heard that, she cried, "No way!"

Diana was stunned at first. Then, she rubbed her palms together and exclaimed, "Right! That’s what we should do!"

"I do not want you to save me. Hurry and let go of me," Charlotte said, panicking. She immediately began to struggle, but she was too weak. As a result, her struggles just looked like playful fighting between lovers.

Sharky quickly said, "Don’t get too stirred up, or else the poison might reach your heart."

"I want the poison to reach my heart!" Charlotte snapped. Her only intention was to die sooner. Otherwise, if Sharky saved her through that method, she would be way too ashamed to continue living! Although she has already done it with him.

But that time, he was unconscious. And now he was conscious. Both were different things.

Alina’s expression was strange. She asked, "Sharky, you... can still keep going?"
