Origin Lust Sword System - Chapter 62 Quest Completion

After Cyrus killed the guardian and split the column attached to it, the entire ground started to tremble violently as a terrible earthquake occurred.

However, Cyrus’s attention was on something else. He quickly spotted the black diamond, which was now falling down because he had cut the column.

After making sure it was safe, he grabbed the black diamond, which was cold upon touch. However, just as he touched the black diamond, it vanished without a trace, startling Cyrus.

Before Cyrus could comprehend what just happened, the very next moment thereafter, the system’s voice rang a translucent panel was opened at the corner of his eyes.

[Release the rewards?]

______

“So, you took the Dimension Crystal!” Cyrus was relieved when he saw the mission completion notification. He was also ecstatic when he saw the extra reward.

But he didn’t dare to release the rewards because of what happened the last time when the Lust Mission. So, he didn’t dare to take a risk, especially when both the first and second rewards involved Eve and the system.

So, he quickly closed the panel for now and then quickly headed toward Rita, who was now anxiously waiting for him.

He could now feel the soul Qi start to disappear right after he got hold of the dimension core and the earthquake started.

Cyrus used Eve’s guidance to quickly approached Rita. She was quite relieved when she saw Cyrus was sound, and without hesitation, they both headed toward the passage behind them.

However, the earthquake was too strong, and the elevator started was simply too slow and unstable to ride on.

“Come here. We’ll be buried away if we wait any longer!” Cyrus quickly grabbed Rita’s waist, she didn’t resist at all, and then he slashed open a hole in the top of the elevator.

Without hesitation, he used Wind Steps to start jumping higher and higher as the narrow passage was now filled with cracks and starting to crumble. Cyrus even used a silver-grade spell called Earth Shield to protect themselves formed falling debris.

However, when they were just ten meters away from the exit, the entire building shook like jelly, and the next moment everyone crumbled down.

Cyrus’s eyes went cold as he uttered two words, “Fire Meteorite!”

The very next moment, a blazing flame suddenly gushed out beneath his feet, and like a rocket, he shot upward while blasting everything in his way with the Earth Shield.

Soon, like a blazing meteorite, Cyrus blasted apart the falling wreckage and just happened to see looked at the pitch-black sky, which was now filled with white cracks.

“The sky is falling!” Eve’s exclaiming voice rang.

While Rita was simply tongue-tied as he watched the cracking getting brighter and brighter.

Cyrus was far more composed than his companions as he watched with scrutiny while standing on a Wind Bed.

He couldn’t help but question the system at this moment, “System, you said when the dimension core is destroyed, the dimension will be returned to normal. But what will happen to those people who were affected by the dimension? Will they turn back to normal? Unless the creator appeared itself, it’s impossible to turn undead back to the living. So, will they return to Underworld?”

“[It’s depends on which side destroys the dimension core.]”

Cyrus was astonished by that answer as it was enough to make many of his doubts clear.

“By sides, you mean the parties involved in the formation of the dimension, right?” He asked as he looked at the sky, which was now on the verge of bursting apart.

“[Affirmative. There is always a winner and a loser in dimensions. The winning side will take all, and the loser will lose everything.]”

Just as the system’s voice trailed off, the dark doom in the sky was blasted apart by the white cracks like a mirror. But there was no voice in this massive turbulence.

Like a mirage, the darkness, as well as the murky winds, started to fade away, replaced by a bright blue sky.

But sadly, only Cyrus, Eve, and Rita were left in Slum Districts and could actually enjoy this amazing phenomenon.

“It’s ended just like that?” Rita, who was hugging Cyrus’s chest, exclaimed as she watched the bright sky, which never looked prettier.

Only after experiencing that cold darkness of the underworld she truly felt blessed to be alive in his bright and warm place, especially by the side of her loved one.

Cyrus chuckled, hearing Rita’s comment, “Heh, what? Are you hoping it would kill us all?”

“She’s a snake, I’m telling you!” Eve’s voice sounded, which seemed to appear through gritted teeth. She clearly just saw Rita getting intimate with Cyrus.

Rita also blushed as she was really thinking that the end of the world had arrived when she saw the black sky cracking.

At this moment, their focus suddenly turned elsewhere, which was right beneath them, and they were all left astounded because they saw thousands of skeletons rising above the rubble of the slum districts.

Cyrus’s eyes flashed as he suddenly thought about the system’s last statement and questioned, “The winning side takes all, and the loser will lose everything. Since I was the one who destroyed the dimension, I brought back the undead in this world. Is that what you meant?

“Or they didn’t consider the people of the underworld and still consider the natives of this world, so they returned? What would’ve happened if an undead had cleared the dimension instead of me?”

However, this time no answer was given as the system left him with a cliffhanger like usual. Cyrus could only purse his lips and gave up. The dimensions were still a mystery to him since it was utterly different from the secret realms he was familiar with.

“What should we do now?” Rita asked as she looked at Cyrus.

There were too many undead, and she was now tired of dealing with them, so she wanted to leave this place for good, but the end decision was still for Cyrus to make.

Cyrus glanced at those skeletons and then looked at the south as he could now see the faint silhouette of the inescapable wall.

He looked at Rita, and his lips curled up, “Let’s leave this shithole for good. Let those undead rot. Without the soul Qi, they will no longer be able to evolve.”

If Cyrus can’t get any LXP from those skeletons, he didn’t mind staying here to hunt every last one of them, but he would only waste his time, and Rita won’t be able to handle the LXP requirement as his rose to higher tiers.

So, leaving was the best option, and it won’t be a lie to say that Cyrus wasn’t interested in just what of a place he ended up rebirthing in. After experiencing this dimension, he was looking forward to exploring its mystery.

But he was disrupted in his thought when he felt something and looked up and saw something else on the horizon, and his eyes narrowed in scrutiny. Rita also noticed the change in Cyrus’s expression as she looked in the same direction.

It was a small sliver blimp heading from the inescapable wall’s direction. Furthermore, there were many blimps following behind this silver blimp, and their speed was quite fast as well.

“W-what are those?” Rita was shocked and astonished when she saw all those strange shape balloons on the horizon, as it was her first time seeing a blimp.

Cyrus’s expression was stern as he replied, “It’s a type of magic airship which could be used as aerial transportation. This world revolved around magic technology, not cultivation technology like flying ships and flying tools. They should be here because of the dimension appearance, and now that it has vanished, they are here to investigate or might be here to seek treasures.”

Rita’s eyes narrowed with a hint of coldness as she spoke, “So, they are only here because they think there should be treasure after the dimension was destroyed, not because of the people who died, right?”

“Most likely. They have been dealing with dimensions for a long time now, and I’m sure they knew far more than us. We should avoid any contact like this, or they might become curious if they find out we were able to survive while the whole slum districts turned to rubble and bones.” Cyrus stated as he could feel Rita was not in a good mood.

Cyrus knew now Rita hated those Uniques who abandoned them all to rot here, and now they came back to pick up treasures from their graves. How could anyone not be aggravated?
