Chapter 440 Who is this crazy person?
Yue quickly stood up and swiftly backed away before the woman could forcefully throw her into the portal.
"Wait, you said I could bring my mother with me! You can't go back on your promise! She's the only family I have left, and she's not strong enough to survive alone!"
Glacia couldn't help but chuckle, amazed at the girl's courage to repeatedly speak to her as if they were equals. But she despised those who didn't keep their word, so how could she break her own?
"Tell me, where is she?"
Yue held onto her dress tightly and told the woman that her mother's room was on the second floor. Glacia disappeared from the room but returned a few seconds later with an unconscious middle-aged elven woman in her arms and a squirming monster in her grasp. She threw the Lynx at Yue and Nox quickly hid behind Yue with a frightened expression.
"It's yours, right? Now enter the portal."
Glacia pointed at the portal. It was surrounded by a restless white hue that was growing weaker with time.
Yue took a hesitant step toward the portal, but Nine, who had been silently observing everything all this time, finally spoke up.
"I want to go too. Glacia, I believe you wouldn't mind because I have a unique ability that can be of help."
Glacia glanced at the brown-haired man with a raised brow. The man stared back at her with an expression that seemed too serious for him to be joking around in such a situation. An irked feeling surged in her chest. Why is everyone on this planet so arrogant? They are speaking to her so casually even after seeing her strength.
But when she looked into Nine's eyes and saw the pure golden spiritual threads, she was tempted. It's very rare for people to have the ability to foresee the future. So, it wouldn't be bad to take him with her. After all, it's not like she's poor and can't feed some extra people.
Regardless, the thing that made him even more interesting was that he appeared in the room even before her, almost as if he already knew something was going to happen. Not to mention, he wants to go with her even after knowing that she is dangerous.
'Haha, did this brat already foresee my arrival? But the real question is, why does he want to go with me?'
Yue looked at Nine with a puzzled expression. She wanted to stop him, but Glacia let out a chuckle.
"You can come, but are you sure? Because if you come with me, you will have to work under me."
Nine nodded in agreement. He knew he had to leave now because if he didn't, it would be too late. He stepped towards the portal, but then he glanced at the black-haired woman beside him. She was clutching his shirt with a worried expression.
"Elli, I already told you it's very dangerous. Your life could be in danger. So, I can't take you with me. I just wanted to say goodbye, but I realized I put you in danger. I'm truly sorry. I can't promise that I'll come back... just please don't hate-!"
Nine's words were abruptly interrupted as the ground beneath him started shaking violently. Not just him, but everyone else also noticed when the whole room started trembling as if someone was trying to destroy it but couldn't.
Glacia's eyes narrowed to slits as a crack appeared within her domain, the separate space she had created. In the next moment, everyone froze as a familiar angry voice echoed into the room.
"Who is this bastard?! How dare you harm my people! Do you really think you can get away with it!?"
Yue's eyes widened the moment she heard the voice. It was coming from behind the room door, and then loud banging sounds started reverberating in the room.
"Kyle..."
Her feet moved unconsciously, but she cried out when Glacia grabbed her wrist and pushed her and the unconscious woman in her arms inside the portal, which had begun to fade into white particles. Nox instantly followed behind Yue with a loud cry.
Glacia furrowed her brows and narrowed her eyes to get a better look at the person who was trying to enter her domain.
"Who is this crazy person? Why is he using so much divine energy? Does he want to blow up this place?"
The woman raised her hand and sealed the crack that appeared in her domain. Nine let out a dry chuckle.
'He's gonna destroy this place because I know, even without looking at him, he's really pissed off right now...'
He quickly moved towards the portal, ready to follow Yue, but Elli grabbed his arm. Nine let out a soft sigh and tightly grabbed the hand holding him.
"Elli, please..."
But he paused when the woman opposite him started slapping his shoulder with an angry expression.
"You really think I would let you go alone? What if you go and start cheating on me? I am coming with you, you jerk! I don't have any family left here anyway."
Nine wanted to argue, but his eyes widened in shock as Elli forcefully shoved him into the portal. After his figure vanished inside the portal, Elli glanced at Glacia, who had stopped paying attention to the portal.
Instead, the woman was staring at the room door with an intrigued expression.
Elli looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath before she also jumped into the portal. The moment Nine told her he was leaving, she made up her mind to follow him. She stayed quiet because he said the place he was going was very dangerous.
Plus, she knew she was weak, so he wouldn't take her with him even if she insisted. That's why she followed him to this room, even though he asked her not to. It was her decision to go with him, and she knew she wouldn't regret it because she really had no one left on this planet.
The portal began dissipating into countless white particles. Glacia moved towards the portal and waved her hand to remove her domain.
The moment her domain disappeared, the whole room was flooded with icy blue flames. She glanced at the flames for a second longer, then watched as the room door opposite her was destroyed into tiny pieces.
In the next second, a person with bright silver hair and green eyes, filled with anger, stepped inside the room and stood opposite her.
