Chapter 111
After a few hours of continuous flight, the trio finally managed to stumble upon the remains of a battlefield, the ground shone with a deep scarlet color as countless listless bodiesid there unmoving.
Looking at one side, Omis was able to spot Tizzy who was directing the survivors as they moved about collecting their fallenrades into their spatial domains.
As soon as Omis appeared, however, Tizzy''s sharp gaze quickly turned towards him before his face rxed and broke out into a wide smile.
Disappearing from his ce, Omis, Lu Lu, and Dina suddenly reappeared on the ground next to Tizzy, startling a few onlookers, Eva on the other hand simply gave a respectful bow to Omis, before she turned to continue giving orders.
"My friend, it''s good to have you back. I see you have been blessed by luck as well." Said Tizzy as he tapped Omis''s shoulder while smiling at Lu Lu.
She on the other hand gave a respectful bow as Tizzy was considered a senior of the same generation as her own master.
"We were indeed lucky my friend. This is-" said Omis as he was about to introduce Dina before being interrupted by Tizzy.
"Ah! If it isn''t the famed alchemist in the flesh." Spoke Tizzy.
Smiling, Dina answered with a small courteous bow.
"''Underworld Master'', it''s great to see you are doing well."
Chuckling bitterly, Tizzy spread his hands to his sides as he pointed out at the carnage before speaking.
"If you consider this ''well'' then yes."
Letting out a dry cough Omis spoke up.
"What exactly happened Tizzy?"
"The fucking cultist bastards happened,unched a frenzy of suicide attacks with crazed looks on their faces as if they were all too happy to die, then came that glowing bastard sending out an attack that ttened the entire damned city. I ordered a retreat when I saw that things started going south but even then our losses were too great." He replied with a long tired sigh as he shook his head.
"Glowing bastard?" Muttered Omis.
"You met him?"
Nodding, Omis replied.
"We shed, I barely managed to break off his attack but that cost me an entire arm." He said as he pointed at the now sleeveless robe.
Hearing that however, Tizzy''s eyes widened as he looked at Omis with a doubtful gaze.
"You were the cause of that ck and red lightning?"
Omis, answered with a nod while Lu Lu who was standing behind him had a proud look on her face as she also kept on nodding.
Looking at that and then at the little Alchemist who seemed to also agree caused Tizzy to be more surprised. He had seen what that figure was able to do, and even he was not sure if he could manage to repel its attack, especially if it was the one that wiped out the city.
"No matter, it looks like you also have your trump cards, this is joyous news. With you here, we might just stand a chance." Said Tizzy with a smile.
"It would still be for the best to avoid a fight if we can." Added Dina who has been quiet all this time, Omis silently agreeing with her.
"Of course, we are in no condition for any fights, but at least with you guys here, our chances are higher." Agreed Tizzy.
It was then that Eva came back, gave another quick bow to Omis and Tizzy, and a light nod at Dina and Lu Lu before speaking.
"We are ready to move master."
Turning to look at the battlefield, Omis was surprised to see how quickly and effectively Eva and her team had taken care of everything. All the corpses of their allies were stored away to be giving proper burialster, while the ones left behind belonged to ''The Hunters''.
Nodding, Tizzy swiftly gave the order to move out as all the remaining soldiers and civilians moved in an organized formation as they all took the air, each supporting the other.
"Shall we?" He then asked as he looked at Omis who nodded.
Soon the entire formation was in the air and moving, at the helm of it was Tizzy, Omis, Eva, Lu Lu, and Dina, flying at the edges were ''The Underworld Knights'' and various surviving ''Originals'', the highest being at Golden Immortal with lowest was at the Ascension, while the civilians were protected in the middle.
In the air, Omis sent a divine message to Tizzy where he asked.
''Tizzy, where are we going?''
To that question, Tizzy''s body lightly shuddered as he remained quiet for a while before he honestly replied with his Divine message.
''To be honest with you my friend, I don''t know...I really don''t know.''
''We can''t keep on running, you know that. ''The underworld'' is empty, nothing in here is going to help us.''
''I know, I know, but what can we do? The heavenly realm is already a battlefield for both ''the Hive'' and ''the Hunters'' the mortal realm is useless, if we go there we only risk dragging the mortals there. We are stuck in the middle.''
''I might have a n.''
''A n you say?'' Asked Tizzy with his divine sense, his tone surprised yet he did not show it on his face.
''Yes, a n.'' Confirmed Omis.
''Well then let''s hear it already!'' Asked Tizzy, unable to hide his curiosity.
''The reason behind my visit to ''The underworld'' in the first ce was because of the news that I stumbled upon when I was in the Heavenly realm.'' Omis spoke, Tizzy simply remained silent as he waited for him to continue.
And so, Omis once again recounted his story, his journey to the heavenly realm in search for Lu Lu, the encounter with the monster, how he came across ''the hive'', and eventually ended up staying in their capital. He conveniently left out the part about his second body and cultivation base while only giving small details.
Throughout all of this, Tizzy remained silent as he listened to everything Omis had told him all the way until the end before he spoke.
''Well, i''ll be damned.''
He didn''t know how to react to the news, and if everything was indeed the truth, then things have just grown way moreplicated than anticipated.
''I''m afraid with news as big as this, we can''t simply stay quiet about it.''
''I know, which is why I came to you first.'' Answered Omis.
Letting out another tired sigh, Tizzy muttered under his breath.
"Heavens help us all."
