Since this time Bai Yan has raised the point.
Maybe......
They could try?
âOkay, what do you need father here to do?â Heavenly slightly nods as affirmation.
No matter what kind of attempt Bai Yan makes, as a father, he must support her.
âNo need, Iâm just giving it a try, I donât know if it will work out.â
Casually raising her hand, Bai Yan summons her Godslayer out and wields it with grace as she locked onto the sky.
Immediately......
A light blade suddenly shot out of the sword and flew towards the open blueness.
If at first she didnât pay attention to the blue sky here then that changed the moment she felt that sinking sensation. She clearly saw the rippling in that ceiling. Itâs like a curtain, an illusionary mirage to blind their eyes from reality, thatâs why sheâs able to figure out the exit must be up there and not on the ground.
Rip~
So itâs like that....
Exactly like Bai Yan suspected, the second her energy blade made contact with the ceiling, it ripped apart down the middle in the same manner as a canvas being sliced.
Both individuals revealed an uncontrolled joy on their faces at the sight. Even if countless monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky and surrounded them in the middle, it still didnât dampen their delight for they knew the direction has been found!
âThese are all flying monsters, one of them... itâs at the Divine Lord rank like me Yan Yan.â Heavenlyâs expression grew solemn at the sight of the creature, but his lips remained smiling nevertheless.
How powerful was the owner of this ancient ruin? They must be much stronger than I am if theyâre able to control puppets at the level of a monarch like myself....
âFather, my instincts were right, the way to leave this ruin is through the ceiling, but...â Clutching her Godslayer, Bai Yanâs lip arcs into a smirking grin, âit looks like we wonât be able to leave so easily. That big one up there is clearly the final boss in charge of guarding the ruins!â
Father isnât entirely wrong it seems about his theory of defeating all these puppets. Itâs likely the exit will show itself anyways once we defeat the final wave regardless, we merely accelerated the process.
âYan Yan, Iâll handle the strongest one up there, can you stall the rest while I fight?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although the other monsters are not as strong as himself, but theyâre no small fries either. At the very least, the rest are very close to being Divine Lord level monsters too. Then coupled with the weaker creatures further out of the encirclement, this horde was nothing to scoff at.
âI can handle it.â Bai Yanâs voice sounded unyielding and powerful.
If thereâs only one way out of this place, she would face any enemy and never back down.
âHahaha!â Heavenly bellows out a hearty laugh and grinned with pride.
âThatâs my daughter. In this life, I can ask for no better. My only regret is not being able to give you and your mother what you both deserve, but now I can at least do this much to redeem myself a bit.â
Seeing the flying monsters getting closer and closer, Heavenly gives one final glance at that perfect face to sear the image into his mind. He doesnât want to let this go, but he also knows the risk heâs taking today. He might not survive to see another day if things donât pan out.
âBut donât worry Yan Yan, your father I will make sure you somehow get out of here. Even if it means being buried here for good, nothing will keep me from being a parent.â
He owes her too much that not even a lifetime would be enough to compensate. Whatâs more, sheâs his only daughter, someone whoâs suffered so much because of his own folly in the past. Simply dying was the least he could do as a failure of a parent.
