Chapter 510: Retreat (1/2)

The Gaia Civilization expanded and lived in the void outside of planet Gaia during their most prosperous era. Remnants of their interstellar age could ever be observed in the high heavens above, day and night.

The debris ring orbiting planet Gaia was none other than their ruins.

After Duna received Leon's answer, she realized this.

”If these mutants came from the orbiting debris in the void, how did they get here? And of all places, hide underground?” Duna asked.

Undoubtedly, she believed falling at high speed from the void would kill any life the debris carried with them.

Leon shook his head and said helplessly, ”I don't know. We can only find out in the future whether my speculation is true or not.”

”I suppose.” Duna shrugged.

Shortly after, Leon and Duna passed through the short passageway they came from and returned to the Heart of Spring Chamber.

However, Duna suddenly noticed Leon pausing his steps before asking, ”Why did you stop? You still have something to do back there?”

”Not really. I'm just going to seal this place. Give me a moment,” Leon said before waving his hand at the passageway.

The earth quickly broke apart and collapsed the passageway before Leon clenched his hand, compressing the collapse rubbles and reinforcing the blockade with earth manipulation.

”Alright, I'm done.” Leon patted his hands before saying, ”I guess it's also time for you to go.”

”Go? Go where?” Duna asked while raising her eyebrow in confusion.

Leon smiled wolfishly at her before stating as a matter of fact, ”Back inside the Worldspace, of course.”

”What? Why do I have to hole back in there?” Duna asked unhappily with a frown.

Leon shrugged, ”It's too troublesome to explain to the others about your sudden appearance and existence in and of itself.”

”Oh. I. See.” Duna furrowed for a moment before smiling sweetly at Leon.

Seeing her smile, Leon smiled back, ”Great, I will let you out l—”

”I guess it's not as troublesome as growing new herbs after I wreck your herb garden, eh?” Duna spoke casually, but her threatening undertone was clear.

”Uh...” Leon froze.

Shortly after, he rubbed his forehead with distress before saying wryly, ”On second thoughts, you can stay outside.”

”That's what I thought.” Duna nodded with a smug look.

Leon flashed her a helpless glance before asking, ”How's your hand?”

Duna's smug look disappeared with her antagonizing attitude before waving her fair hand to Leon.

”As you can see, it's all better now... thanks to your Pseudo-Grandmist Energy.” She added at the end.

”That's good.” Leon nodded.

Seeing that Faelyn have yet to enter the Heart of Spring Chamber, he spoke, ”Let us head back up--”

Boom!

The sealed passageway behind them burst open with flying rubbles after suddenly being struck with immense force.

In that split instance, Leon instinctively reached out and pulled Duna into him before they were blown away from the blast together.
