Chapter 47: What Kind of Pitiful Structure is This?
“Oh, welcome back, Yaser. You look like you’ve seen some serious trouble outside, huh?”
Seeing Yaser rush in with a panicked face, Weirafiya could already guess what had happened. It was probably some bothersome guy at the foot of the mountain causing issues.
“Yup. Lady, according to Brother Yake and the others, some guy named Gilbaris is chasing us—he’s also the Ultimate Life Form. He’s definitely coming for you, Lady. They’ve already gone down to stop him. We need to make a break for the God Palace before we miss our chance!”
“Mm… they really went to intercept? Alright, since the enemy is already here, let’s hurry up. But honestly, if I could, I’d like to rest a bit first. Seriously, those Adrian People are so annoying! Is every one of them a brain-dead fan? I mean, I know I’m incredibly charming, but being this popular is quite a hassle.”
At that moment, Weirafiya was joking around, leaving Yaser speechless and unsure how to respond.
“What’s wrong, Yaser? You look like a deer caught in headlights. Was my joke really that unfunny?”
“Ah, no! It’s just that Lady, how can you be joking at a time like this? The enemy is already knocking on the door!”
“True, true! The enemy is here. But we don’t have time to dawdle. Let’s get going.”
Weirafiya turned around, soaring out of the tent, heading straight for the God Palace entrance. Yaser followed closely behind as they reached the doorway.
“Lady, you should go in first. I’ll wait here for you to come out.”
“What nonsense! You’re going in with me.”
“Ah? No way! Lady, isn’t this God Palace a super sacred place? A mere mortal like me shouldn’t step inside, right?”
“You’re not just any mere mortal! Don’t forget, you are my Phoenix, Weirafiya’s servant! It’s only natural for a lady to bring her servant into the God Palace. Now, come on, let’s go together.”
“Ah, um… Lady, how about you go in alone? I’ll stay out here. What if that enemy crashes the door while we’re in there? We need someone to hold him off, right?”
After some thought, Yaser decided it’d be better not to enter. A weakling like him wouldn’t be able to help at all inside; he might as well stay outside to at least put up a fight.
“What are you saying? Aren’t you worried about your master being alone inside? As your master, I’m not too pleased with your attitude.”
Weirafiya raised an eyebrow, clearly misinterpreting Yaser’s words.
“That’s not what I meant, Lady! I—”
“If that’s not what you meant, then just shut up and come in with me!”
Weirafiya didn’t want to hear any more arguing from Yaser; she just wanted him to prove his loyalty through action.
“Alright, Lady, I’ll come in with you, but I might not be able to help much, so…”
“That’s fine! As long as you’re by my side, I’ll feel safe—that’s all I need.”
“Lady?”
Hearing Weirafiya say something so out of character left Yaser momentarily stunned.
“What’s wrong? Are you surprised that I said that? Well… you shouldn’t think just anyone can be my servant! You’re the only one for me. With you by my side, I can unleash my true power. So do you get it? I need you with me for everything. If you find that funny, feel free to laugh, but I really do feel that way.”
Weirafiya turned her face away, avoiding eye contact with Yaser.
“No, no, no! Lady, what you said really surprised me… But I don’t find it funny at all, ’cause I can tell you were being sincere just now.”
Yaser shook his head; he couldn’t see how that would be funny. After all, if Lady trusts him so much, how could he possibly let her down? Thinking of leaving her to go in alone was completely outrageous!
“Now are you willing to come in with me?”
“Yeah. As long as I’m with you, Lady, I’ll go anywhere you want.”
“Great! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! Let’s go in together.”
Weirafiya reached out her fair hand, inviting him into the God Palace with her.
“Okay, Lady.”
Yaser grabbed her outstretched hand, and together they stepped into the God Palace. Then…
“Ah!”
What a shock! As Yaser rushed in, he stumbled and fell straight through a gap.
That’s right; this God Palace… its structure was just like that! There was no floor behind the door—just emptiness!
“Yaser!”
Seeing her servant plummet, Weirafiya couldn’t remain calm any longer. She transformed into her Phoenix form and dove down to catch him.
“Yaser, are you okay? How do you feel? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine! If it weren’t for you catching me, I’d probably be a splattered mess on the floor. What kind of design is this for a God Palace? Talk about a total rip-off!”
Sitting on Weirafiya’s back, Yaser couldn’t help but stare at the absurd layout.
“This is my first time here too. I never expected it to be designed like this.”
“By the way, what should we do now, Lady?”
Looking at the surroundings, even though they’d successfully entered the God Palace, the two of them had no clue what to do next.
“Well, I don’t know what to do either. Let’s just keep moving forward. We should find some answers along the way.”
Weirafiya wasn’t interested in overthinking it. As they didn’t encounter any traps or mechanisms, they decided to push ahead and see where it led.
“Lady, danger ahead! Quickly, fly down!”
Suddenly, Yaser furrowed his brows, sensing an unprecedented danger, and shouted out loud, urging Weirafiya to adjust her altitude.
Bang!
In the next instant, a chain, set up who knows when, shot out and slammed into the wall across the way.
Thankfully, Yaser had warned Weirafiya to change their flight path. Otherwise, her wings would have been pierced by that attack!
