Half of Lith's upper body was bitten off, but he stayed standing and channeled his spiritual power to fight against the wraiths.Arya was in a bad condition too with poison spreading in all parts of her body. She was holding on due to her immense spiritual power and shielding her husband with it as well.
Things were getting really heated and Arya ripped apart her blindfold.
She cultivated the Space and Time path. There shouldn't be any coordinates in the cosmos where these two elements did not exist.
If Time was not in the surroundings, how was everything moving and not still?
If Space was not there, how could they move in three dimensions?
How was she not able to use the elements when she could clearly move around?
Where was she lacking?
What was missing?
Arya's mind worked in full throttle as she tried to find the missing pieces while blowing off her spiritual power onto the wraiths.
Soon…
Her bright blue eyes flickered and lit up.
She had an epiphany.
"Space can cease to exist."
"Time can cease to exist."
"Even the universe is not forever."
"However…"
Lith heard some murmurs behind him. Arya was probably saying something but he was too busy and couldn't properly listen and understand her.
The wraith bit off his leg and ripped it apart. Blood gushed out of his body like a fountain and turned him paler with each second.
If Lith did not have a high tolerance to pain, he would've been crying like a beaten up dog right now.
Lith's will was strong. And the will to protect his wife… stronger.
'Even if I don't make it out of this place… I will make sure my wife survives. It doesn't matter what happens to me… I will protect Arya.'
Sending a condensed ball of spiritual power to the wraith and pushing him back, Lith thought to himself,
'The Return spell is activated through my eyes. All I have to do is gauge my eyes out after activating the spell and throw it at Arya. She should be able to return home with that.'
Adrenaline was pumping in the veins of the husband-wife pair. Despite that, among them, one was thinking in the right direction.
"…I now understand."
'So this is what the Heavenly Secret meant.'
"The void is eternal."
'The universe will fade. The heaven's will collapse. But the void… the void is forever.'
Arya's eyes shined with a brighter glint and her hair went against gravity, fluttering wildly as she comprehended something none in the universe except her knew of.
Lith made up his mind at this point.
He chanted the incantation for the spell 'Return' and his amethyst eyes began having ancient letters appear on them.
They glowed brightly and he paused right before reciting the last syllable.
Lith's heart thumped wildly and he steeled his resolve.
His sharp nails extended out of his fingers and he was about his gauge his eyes and throw them at Arya.
However, at this very instant, the wraiths let out a soul-piercing scream.
It was not the chilling one for before, but one of absolute fear.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Light seeped from a crack in the dimension.
This was the final push Arya needed.
She squeezed Lith's hand, wanting to drag him away with her, but her body turned translucent, then vanished all of a sudden.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Master!"
A soft, familiar voice broke Lith's attention and the spell was deactivated.
Lith turned to look at the crack and knitted his brows.
"Fei?"
"Master!" Fei yelled out.
She looked at the situation Lith was in and found the wraiths to be unsettling. She was furious once she saw what they had done to Lith.
"How dare you filthy beings touch my Master!"
Fei screamed, but her voice did not reach Lith or Hyunsuk's ears.
They went into another dimension altogether and hit the wraiths, making their bodies burst apart like balloons.
Fei's body instantly flashed around like lightning and whenever she would be visible, a wraith would be torn to pieces.
Hyunsuk was dragged along with her. He was still as emotionless as one could be, appearing more like Sylvia's disciple than Lith's, and stayed like a rag on Fei's shoulders.
If he wasn't breathing and looking around, anyone would've mistaken him as a dead body.
Two minutes after Fei's arrival, all the wraiths except the boss had been killed.
Fei appeared in front of the boss at last and extended her hands out, then clapped them hard, ensuring the boss' head was in between her palms.
The boss burst apart and died.
The dimension twisted and everything was back to normal.
Fei dropped Hyunsuk down and moved towards Lith.
"Master!" She held the fallen Lith and looked at him with concern.
"What state have you been reduced to!" Fei shouted and almost had tears in her eyes.
"You aren't a phantom, why would you try to fight that!" Fei complained and began casting an odd type of healing spell on him.
"Arya… Fei… where's Arya…" Lith's voice was hoarse and he looked like a dying old man as he asked that.
"She's safe. You should be more concerned about yourself!" Fei exclaimed and slapped Lith's back.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Lith coughed violently due to that and spat out a black ball of sizzling mass.
The ball of mass burned the ground, sizzled, and vanished.
Lith's complexion started getting better after that.
"Master…" A new voice called him out. It was a boy's.
Hyunsuk walked towards Lith and kneeled down. His emotionless face finally had changes, and he seemed visibly concerned and sad.
"I'm sorry, Master. I couldn't protect you…"
Lith smiled and shook his head, touched by his disciple's words.
Today, he realized he hadn't selected them wrongly and it was indeed fate that brought them together.
Lith gently patted Hyunsuk's face and said, "Silly, it's not your job to protect Master."
Hyunsuk knitted his brows and wrapped his arm around Lith's shoulders, hugging him.
"Disciple is incompetent. Disciple is really sorry."
Lith felt something warm and liquidy on his shoulder.
He sighed and patted the boy's back.
"It's not your fault, silly disciple. Stop crying."
Fei looked at Hyunsuk and Lith with knitted brows.
'I did all the work and he barges in to hug Master? I didn't even get to hug him…'
While Fei expressed her grievances and healed Lith, away from them, in the far North East direction…
A portal opened near a cliff and out of it appeared a tall and handsome vampire, him being none other than Roy.
Roy had a really bad look on his face as if he had eaten something bitter.
"How dare those guys do—"
Roy stopped himself from speaking as he saw something charging towards him from the distance.
"Huh?" He squinted his eyes to see properly.
A pointed spear equipped with the most terrifying destruction spell was coming at him.
"SHIT." Roy cursed and immediately tried to deploy his defensive artifact, but realized he had given it to the white suit man as a tip.
"What fucking bad luck is this—!?"
—BOOOOOOM!
