Chapter 055: Then Lets Go Already!

I messed up

Thats the only thought Shien had at that moment.

No way around it.

Seeing the scene before him, Shien really couldnt another way to describe what he just did other than a mess.

Before Shien, the originally empty clearing had completely transformed.

Pitter platter

That was the sound of countless pebbles raining down onto the ground.

Woosh

That was the sound from the dust slowly disbursing.

An enormous cut split open the wilderness like a fissure, extending ever onward until it finally reached a tall mountain. It looked like a bottomless chasm. Most terrifying.

What is even more terrifying though, is that the end where the fissure reached. That tall mountain at the end was actually split apart into two.

With the addition of the remaining magic power rippling about in the form of countless formless tornadoes, how could Shien not possibly know just what the heck he just did?

As expected of the trump card among close combat techniques. The power truly is unmatched.

Shien made a pithy comment as if he was a commentator from a martial arts novel.

Well, thats if one ignored the sweat currently dripping off his forehead anyways.

Cough, cough!

At that moment, harsh coughing sounds rang out from beside him, which finally reminded Shien of something important.

Diere!

It wasnt just Shien alone who was there.

Thus, Shien hurried turned about toward the direction where the coughing was coming from.

At that moment, Diere had a knee to the ground. Her hands were raised up, blocking her front, as he she was trying to withstand a storm just a moment ago. She was at the moment constantly coughing while looking terribly disheveled.

Are Are you alright?

Shien hurriedly ran over. He wanted to help her up, but didnt know where to put his hands, so he looked very embarrassing.

You

Diere didnt mind Shiens embarrassment. She just raised her head and looked at Shien while still coughing.

Although Shien didnt see her expression under the hood, he could somehow tell what kind of gaze she had at that moment.

That gaze was like she was looking at some kind of monster.

I I didnt do it on purpose! Shien explained with an unnatural expression on his face, I didnt know itd end up like this either. Plus, I just did as you taught me!

As he spoke, Shien also raised up the broadsword in his hand without thinking bout if as if trying to hand over a murder weapon as if to escape his own role as a suspect.

Clink!

The broadsword that Shien raise up had become full of cracks at some point, and at that moment it could no longer hold on and completely shattered into pieces.

And yet, those pieces didnt land on the ground.

Thats because, before theyve even touched the ground, theyve already been further shattered into dust and were blown away by the wind.

Shien and Diere watched that scene and were both stunned into silence.

Immediately following, Diere finally turned her gaze back onto Shien.

Shien knew without even needing to confirm it. Dieres gaze at that moment was definitely not just like shes looking at a monster, but a humanoid demonic beast.

No, perhaps, Dieres gaze was more like looking at a new Demon King. That was possible too.

Shiens face turned crimson.

That was from trying to hold it in.

After holding it in for a while, Shien finally managed to force out his next words.

Now what do we do?

Shien had basically given up on trying to explain.

Diere only continued to watch Shien mutely. Only until a bit later did she look at that bottomless looking chasm and the mountain split in half over in the distance.

That scene made Diere remember that heaven splitting blade of magic that fell from the sky just a bit ago, making her heart tremble.

Lets leave this place for now.

Diere forcibly tried to not let her voice shake. She took a deep breath, maintained her cold tone, and spoke out towards Shien.

With such a huge commotion, Lamdrion probably has detected it too. Thus, we need to hurry up and leave before investigators arrive.

Hearing that, Shien hesitated.

Is that fine?

Shiens hesitant and yet guilty expression allowed Diere to slightly calm down.

You can stay if you want. Diere thus spoke, But that way, when the investigators come, youd be directly taken away and interrogated, possibly even tortured. In the end, you might even be viewed as a spy from the demons purposefully causing destruction. Is that fine for you?

Shien instantly perked up.

Then lets go already!

Such an instant reply made Diere couldnt help but raise her eyebrows.

Although, now isnt the time to make idle conversation either. Diere controlled her urge to say something more and stood up.

But with such an action, Dieres petite body instead leaned over and fell towards the side.

O Oy. Are you alright?

Seeing that, Shein hurriedly reached out to keep her from falling.

Im fine!

Dieres face under the hood turned slightly red and she gave Shien an angry glare. She seemed quite embarrassed.

After all, for her to have been scared to the point where she lost strength in her legs. That was just way too embarrassing.

Cough Shien seemed to understand that too, so he shrank back and spoke weakly, It really wasnt on purpose.

Seeing Shien look acting like hed been wronged and yet didnt dare to say anything back, Diere ended up feeling like laughing while being angry.

After a moment of silence, Diere then opened her mouth.

What happened today, youd best not mention to anyone. Diere spoke, That includes Vivian. You cant tell her either.

Not even Vivian? Shien was stumped for a moment.

Thats for the best. Diere spoke calmly, Its not that Vivian cant be trusted, but just in case, the less people who know, the less likely it is to end up causing trouble.

Fine. Shien was silent for a moment before nodding.

If he could have less trouble, thats obviously something Shien would be happy to go with.

After all, its not like this is that big an issue, right?

It should be anyways

Also. Diere gave Shien a glance and her voice turned for the first time adamant and serious, From now on, dont go using [Magic Sword] anymore.

That matter is very important, so Diere had to give a special reminder.

Otherwise, just what kind of consequences would result from that, Diere felt cold just thinking about it.

I cant use it anymore? Shien spoke with some frustration, So I ended up learning this skill for nothing?

Wouldnt that have meant that ll he did this whole day were just wasted effort?

Diere also wrinkled her brow.

Finally, Diere let out a sigh.

At least, until you can freely adjust the power, its best not to use this skill in front of anyone else. Diere so stated. Then she seemed to have thought of something and spoke, Also, dont use it where there are a lot of people.

Alright. Shien finally relaxed and nodded without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two of them really were like criminals escaping the scene of a crime, hurried their footsteps, and left the area.

However, this earth-shattering scenery still remained.

Likely, this place would still be like that even hundreds of years later. It might even have become a major tourist attraction by then.
