The Unsurpassed Maiden - Chapter 158

Mi Young skids to her left the moment a huge rock comes flying by her when she and the little girl went out of the salon.

“Whatever happens, don’t let go of me. Okay?” The black haired girl says while looking at the young child straight in the eyes.

The little girl returned Mi Young’s gaze and nodded her head at her. “Okay.”

“Good.”

As Mi Young ran towards a safer place where she could hide the child, thoughts about the scene that happened in the salon came flashing into her mind. She couldn’t get over the feeling of remorse as she watches the little girl say goodbye to her mother’s dismantled form. Mi Young couldn’t imagine what kind of pain the little girl was going through but never did she show it in front of the black haired girl. Mi Young wonders if she could still comfort the young girl after everything that has happened.

So, she made a small pact with herself that she would do anything to protect the young girl. And after everything passes, if they all survived this catastrophe, she will make sure to give this child a safe and loving home where she would be able to feel the love of a mother and a father once more. Mi Young swears he would do anything just to make things right once more.

“Where are we going?” The young girl asks when she noticed Mi Young using another route that led her out of the city.

“We’re going to a place away from the beasts, okay? You can wait for me there after I deal with these monsters.” Mi Young softly says as she runs as fast as she can towards a safe place where they have gathered all the survivors. She doesn’t want to waste any second. That’s why she needs to run as fast as she can so she can get back as well.

Mi Young noticed the young child gripping her shoulders, it’s as if she doesn’t want to let go of Mi Young. “I don’t want to. I’ll stay with you.”

“You can’t. It’s very dangerous out there. You need to stay there and wait for me until I come back.” Mi Young instructs. She looks ahead of them and she can finally see the sign she and Zhong Yu put up so they would know where they cast their cloaking spell. Mi Young’s heart thumps loudly in her chest as they near the gates of their sanctuary.

“But I want to go with you.” The young child says.

“No. I promise I’ll come back. There are other children out there.” Mi Young says. When she was standing in front of the gates of their sanctuary, she touched her necklace and chanted the spell that could open its gate. Instantly, the front of the tree, which was just an illusion by the way, opens up, revealing a passage that leads towards where the other citizens are hiding. “Follow the path down ahead. You will be greeted by a close friend of mine. She will see to it that you are attended and taken care of.”

“Mi Young!”

“No buts. Listen to me. I promise I’ll come back, you just have to believe in me okay?” The black haired girl’s heart clenches as she sees the tears forming in the young child’s eyes. However, despite her tear streaked face, the young child inhales deeply before she bites her lower lip and nods her head at Mi Young.

“I will be here. Promise me you’ll come back.”

“I promise.” Mi Young says while ruffling the small girl’s hair. She was about to close the portal when the young child said something which made her stop for a second and smile.

“Min Hee! My name is Min Hee!” The young girl shouts before the portal finally closes.

Mi Young smiles after hearing what the young girl had said.

With her forehead touching the trunk of the tree, she whispers a small prayer. “I promise I’ll come back for you.”

After that, she goes back to running towards the heart of the city once more.

While on her way towards the city, Mi Young couldn’t help but pray to the gods or just anyone up above to help her protect all the people hiding inside the sanctuary she and Zhong Yu made.

Their plan was supposed to teleport all the people inside the city to a much safer place. However, the monsters and enemies have already spread all over the city so if they teleport them in one go, the enemies would be teleported as well. So, Mi Young managed to find a spell in her spellbook where she can make a hidden sanctuary that expands and transforms itself to a place that resembles what its maker needs. Mi Young made it inside a tree so that no enemies could find it. Zhong Yu also managed to put a cloaking spell around it so no enemies could find it.

They also joined their mana energies and put on a spell that can open up the portal towards the hidden sanctuary using a specific chant. No one can enter the sanctuary unless they say that specific chant.

As she nears the heart of the city, Mi Young sees the large number of huge breasts starting to make chaos all around the surroundings. The remaining citizens who are still trying to do their best to keep the monsters away are either forced to run away or are long dead by now. Mi Young wishes she can do something to help convince them to hide inside the sanctuary. However, some of the citizens are either just too prideful or are too devoted to saving their city that they will do anything, even sacrifice their lives. The black haired girl says a silent prayer to protect them all.

After that, she immediately went back to firing fireballs and crashing down beast after beast using her abilities. Although she manages to hit the beasts one after another, the black haired girl still notices her powers wavering for a little bit. Making the sanctuary has already depleted a huge sum of her mana that’s why she’s doing her very best in order to keep her attacks at bay to help herself regenerate and so that she can still use her powers in case of urgent matters. For example, going head to head against Zed.

Speaking of Zed, it has been hours since Mi Young last saw her. She wonders if she’s just nearby and is just waiting for the right time to attack her or if she really is hiding somewhere close to her heart so she can protect it.

Zhong Yu told Mi Young a while ago that Zed is well aware that the man knows her secret. That’s probably why she isn’t present in the heart of the city now because she’s hiding at a spot close to where her heart is.

As for Mi Young, she couldn’t care less of Zed right now. Even though all she wanted to do is kill that stupid and heartless witch, she needs to focus on the far more important things. And that is to help all survivors and keep them away from the beasts.

Since they realized that they couldn’t convince all citizens to go and hide inside the sanctuary, Mi Young and Zhong Yu made a plan where the man would have to teleport them one by one. But the man couldn’t do it without her help. That’s why Zhong Yu instructed her to go to the highest building in the heart of the city where she can see the whole city. Mi Young’s task is to locate all survivors and mark them using her mana aura so that Zhong Yu can keep track of all their locations. If Mi Young is done putting marks all over the survivors, Zhong Yu would teleport them all at once inside the sanctuary using his abilities.

They know that it would cause them a lot of their mana and abilities that’s why they are trying their best to conceal and save up their mana by fighting the beasts using their minimum strength. They don’t care if they run out of mana during their fight with Zed because the more important thing for them is that all the citizens are saved. They also made a backup plan where if they die fighting, someone from inside the sanctuary can still open up the portals that can lead the people outside. That’s why they put up one of Zhong Yu’s minions, an old lady from the ancient dragon clan, and made her swear an oath that she would take care of everyone hiding inside the sanctuary.

With everything else planned, Mi Young’s heart feels quite more relaxed despite the situation that she still needs to face. At least, even though she’ll die fighting, everyone else in the city is safe. And that’s what matters most to her.

However, at the same time, she will do everything she can in order to kill Zed and stop her from causing madness all over the city of Furotingu.

Shaking her head, Mi Young manages to arrive at the bottom of the highest building inside the heart of the city.. The clock tower.
