The Bored Immortal-Chapter 443: I Will Find A Way
"Ha...ha...please help him...He...He is in pain," Seraphina said in an exhausted tone as she fell on her knees right as she was running along with Yanah. She was injured and running while carrying Viktor was taxing on her tired body.
They were already near the Lulling River, but Seraphina was still unsettled since Viktor was still suffering from the poison, and she couldn't even use her powers at this moment.
"Tsk, he foiled my plans to kill that bitch. If only I knew his big mouth was going to make him end up like this, I would have finished what I wanted to do first," Yanah was still frustrated and angry since she had risked a lot of things to get that chance, especially after what Ara did to her.
"Please...I will help you with anything as long as you can keep him safe in the meanwhile. I will take him back once my Odic force is back to normal," Seraphina pleaded in a trembling voice.
'Why does she have to look so pitiful,' Yanah looked away with pursed lips. But no matter how angry she was at Azu, she couldn't help but feel sorry seeing someone like the Fairy Queen in such a miserable state.
She also remembered that Seraphina helped her escape while putting herself in risk despite the fact that she didn't owe her anything.
They were practically strangers and made Yanah realize how naively kind fairies can be.
"Okay...I will put him in a safe place, but how long are you going to let him suffer? Even if I am pissed off at him, I still feel bad that he is continuously enduring so much pain, or should I say the pain his soul must be enduring. The Blade of Hatred is quite infamous and feared for a good reason," Yanah said with a serious look as she saw dark purple veins spread over Azu's entire body.
He wasn't howling or crying in pain, but one could see that he was enduring so much pain he couldn't even gather the strength to let out a single groan.
His lips and face seemed white as ash, while his body seemed to uncontrollably shake. Nobody could really imagine the extent of pain he was enduring.
One would even wonder how he wasn't dead already after such soul-cutting pain for so long.
Seraphina was puzzled by her words as she feebly asked, "W-What do you mean?"
Yanah sighed as she shook her head and said, "I am saying without the Blade of Love, there is no hope of helping him. The blade was said to be made by the daughter of a demi-god during the ancient era, and I don't think even you can do anything to cure him. It's best that you...kill him before he suffers longer. It will be the most merciful thing you can do. If you can't do it, I can do it for you."
"No! H-He cannot die...I won't kill him..." Seraphina firmly shook her head with trembling lips and added, "I will take him back to my realm and put him to sleep until I find a solution."
Yanah placed her hand on her forehead as she patiently explained, "You don't get it. You can't leave even if you get back your powers. Mevron now knows who you are, and he must have already put up a realm barrier using the help of his royal family. And that means not only you but nobody can leave except for those they allow to leave. You might be able to conjure up a portal, but if you try to enter it, the Odic force of the realm itself will prevent you from reaching the other side. You will just end up in the place you were trying to leave from. The Winter Dragons literally control the entire realm, and that is why nobody goes against them."
"Why...Why should this happen to us...to him..." Tears trickled down her soft cheeks as Seraphina looked at Viktor resting in her arms.
Yanah silently shook her head and felt that she should first take the two down to a comfortable place.
"Follow me. Let's not stay out for too long lest those annoying adventurers try to pick my nerve," Yanah said as she walked into the dark misty Lulling River.
Seraphina blinked her eyes as she slowly got up while supporting Viktor up and letting his body rest against hers.
She didn't know where Yanah was planning to take her, but she trusted her and didn't ask any questions as she followed her into the river.
Seraphina walked deeper and deeper into the water till her head was about to get submerged as well.
But right when she was about to call out for Yanah, she saw a big water bubble encompassing her and Viktor, allowing them to breathe as if they were on land.
Everything around her seemed dark blue, and she could barely see anything except for Yanah, whose lower half transformed into a beautiful fin as she swam deeper into the river.
Seraphina found herself being pulled down as well, right behind Yanah.
"Azu...I am so sorry. I promise I will find a way to help you no matter what," Seraphina said in a weak voice as she looked at his sickly expression.
She closed her eyes and tried to focus on revitalizing her Odic force so that she could lessen Viktor's suffering again, no matter how insignificant it might be.
But before she knew it, she felt the bubble she was in suddenly coming to a stop and opened her eyes, only to have her eyebrows raised.
She saw a large underwater azure palace located on a large piece of land with many sirens swimming around here and there. The land was large enough to look like a mini city, and it was quite a stunning sight to see from afar.
However, the moment they sensed or saw Yanah, all of them gathered together as they bowed to welcome their queen's return with great excitement and relief.
