Ryuu was having second thoughts about having her accompany him because of her stubbornness and well idiotic thinking and from what he had gathered he could bet his life that Zywia never even had to drink by picking up a gla.s.s from the top of the table, he did not know what to think about except feel a small bout of nausea creeping up, her family's love has effectively crippled her and now the privileged pampered princess has jumped head first into fire without thinking, Zywia may be smart full of talent but she has a lacked street smarts with a touch of common sense.

Meanwhile both Saidhal and Zarina had the feel of complete annoyance creeping up while Cezary simply wanted to curl up and cry he felt as if his idol was simply disappointed.

Zywia and Ryuu had finally returned back towards their hideout as they stepped inside Ryuu made sure that no one was following as they sat inside Ryuu opened his bag and let out a small whistle of appreciation, "It seems my array is working wonderfully I have already a little over thousand nucleus and I could safely say about your own share if I am not mistaken."

Zywia nodded pleased at that as she spoke, "Yes I have received as much as you have and now we have to go to the altar mentioned in the instruction and we could move to the next round.", Ryuu nodded at that as Zywia continued happily at that, "The best part the altar we saw was free of any form of ambush."

Ryuu whipped his head so hard that any person would have thought that he broke his neck as he spoke disbelief, "The altar was empty who told you that?"

Zywia was taken aback at that as she nodded at that as she spoke, "Of course it was empty we saw."

Ryuu shook his head in exasperation as he spoke, "Never take anything by face value according to the announcement there was 20 such altars and with so many people entering here I can bet you there are people who have already set up ambush and I know for certain that the altars are death trap which we have to approach cautiously."

Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, "How sure are you about it? It might be they no one has found about it."

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke with a smile, "Sister Zywia please remember for a successful ambush to occur it is best if your target is unaware and is caught unguarded and as for why I am sure that someone has already found and set up ambush is because did you remember how many people had arrived here to enter Eden, and why I am sure because dear I would have done the same."

Zywia turned a bit pale at that, while Ryuu wanted to bang his head in frustration, 'What kind of environment did she grow up into she completely and totally lack vigilance of any kind as such she is dangerous for herself as well as for me.'

Ryuu swallowed his regret about helping her as he spoke with a smile, "We will try to sneak past them at dusk, I will use some form of array to do so, and please follow my instruction without question."

Zywia huffed at that as she spoke, "When did I not follow your instructions brother Ryuu."

Ryuu did not say but he knew that Zywia would create problems later on from dealing with her he came to one conclusion that she was sheltered greatly as such she lacked any and all sense regarding how to deal with such situations, any cultivator worth their salt who had fought their way up to her level would be more level headed but she was not as such it only meant a sheltered life.

Ryuu let out a yawn as he sat on a chair as he spoke, "There is still some time left as such cultivate, rest, eat or do whatever you want to but do not leave this shelter alone no matter what happens.", With that Ryuu closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep, as he was incredibly bored and needed to pa.s.s of time.

A few hours later he was awoken by the smell of food, as he looked up with bleary eyes he was greeted with something that made his sleep disappear as in front of him laid a table full of mouth watering dishes that revitalized his spirit especially when it smelt so good.

He quickly stood up as Zywia appeared with another pot full of some kind of stew that smelled heavenly as she spoke with a nervous smile, "Well I hope you do not mind I was getting bored and I wanted to thank you so I made you something."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Why would I mind at all, it all smells so heavenly and thank you for that."

As Ryuu took a plate for himself he discreetly checked for any form of poison or drugs and upon finding none he helped himself as did Zywia, upon taking a bite Ryuu's eyes widen slightly it might not be as awesome and heavenly like his teacher's cooking but it was quite good as such he could not help but praise her inwardly, 'She might not have proper sense but she is good cook at least her parents did something nice.'

By the time they had finished the duo checked their bag and was astonished to find over 5000 nucleus in each bag as Ryuu let out a small whistle full of appreciation as he spoke with a grin, "Never did I think that the array would work so well I am impressed with myself."

Zywia frowned slightly at that as she spoke, "Since we have everything I think it is time to leave also please deactivate the array there is no need for it."

Ryuu nodded at that as he brought out a talisman as he activated the talisman it disintegrated to ash as he spoke with a smile, "It is done now let us leave."

Meanwhile inside the certain caldera a group of cultivators had gotten trapped and had been pulled by the array as they were torn apart their items fell into the ground as the array fought against their s.p.a.ce bag and s.p.a.ce ring trying to pry it open and check and retrieve any form of nucleus stored in it, the fight has been growing for some time and slowly the array was powering up as more and more beings were sacrificed as it was about to open, the command to shut it down and self destruct came and what it managed to do was overload the array as the excess energy had nowhere to go and it destabilized the gathering of KI at the center of caldera.

At first Ryuu and his companion did not feel anything as they watched various creatures running away from something then the ground rumbled and shook like no tomorrow as the horizon lit up as if the sun was rising from that side of the world for a brief moment, Ryuu did not know why but he did not like the feeling in his guts as f something had gone horribly wrong a feeling even Zywia shared as such they promptly left as they moved towards the altar as fast as possible.
