The villainess shall be mine

Timothy grabbed Adam by his collar. "What are trying to say? Don't joke with me!" He shouted.

"It's the truth. If you come with me, you may die." Adam replied and shoved away Timothy's hand.

Adam had just finished explaining his plan but it seemed like not everyone agreed with him.

Adam's reasoning was simple. 'If monsters could enter through a portal, then people also could go beyond those portals.'

However, there was a problem. When elemental primordial particles travel between universes, they become unstable.

So, if someone who was a gift holder traveled to another universe, then they might die on the spot if they were unlucky.

However, there were some exceptions, for example, Adam who didn't use elemental particles.

This also meant that if they didn't rescue Liu as fast as possible, then everything might take a dark turn.

'I hope it's not too late...' Adam hoped.

Still, Liu's companion didn't agree with Adam's theory and wanted to go with him.

"The only one who can come is Zax who is not a gift holder," Adam said.

Yelena glared at Adam and crimson flames enveloped her body. "Are you telling me to abandon Miss Liu and leave her fate to your hand? That's what you are trying to say, kid?!!"

This was not the time for an argument and Adam knew that, but Liu's companions cared deeply about her, so it was a very delicate matter.

Nevertheless, everything would be meaningless if everyone else died even if Liu were to be rescued.

Adam knew that and that was why he suggested they return to the ship, but the others didn't take it that way. 'This is a pain...'

"If you guys die, Liu would be sad, and I don't want to feel guilty over something like that; so if you don't want to listen to me, then I will force you."

As soon as Adam said these words, he activated his power, and Yelena's power vanished.

Everyone else couldn't move apart from Zax, Cristal, and Maïra.

"Please stop this guys!!!" Zax shouted with her little and desperate-sounding voice. "You too, Adam. Everyone else is concerned about Liu as much as you are. Try to understand their feelings a little."

Adam deactivated his power and everyone else calmed down a bit, seeing the smallest person among them all shouting in tears.

"We should trust Adam and Zax on this." Brodon finally said something. "We all know that he has the guts and the power to do this. Self-sacrifice is only meaningful if you can achieve something by doing so, and this time, that's not the case."

Everyone else looked like they finally managed to think rationally after listening to Brodon's words.

"There's no time to waste." Adam handed a communication device to Yelena. "Take this, and wait for us, I will bring her back no matter what it takes. Trust me!"

Adam respected Liu as a person, and he couldn't leave her or Verte to die in another universe.

Yelena looked hesitant but she took the communication device. "Don't disappoint us, kid!"

Even at times like this, she didn't want to be honest with her words. She hoped with all her heart that Adam would succeed but she didn't say it.

It pained her more than anything else that she couldn't do anything at times like that.

"Let's go, Zax."

"'Kay."

Zax wore metallic armor that she hide inside of the floating vehicles. It was equipped with mana guns, and a plasma sword, and could fly in the air.

*****

The nearest portal was a little bit far from Maïra's house, so Adam and Zax darted there at full speed.

Monsters overflowed out from the portals like a swarm of bugs when seen from above, but Adam didn't hesitate to dive down straight to the portal.

Swosh!

"Out of the way!"

He activated his power and used his sword to cut down the monsters and his leg to kick them out of the way.

Slash! Smack!

On the other hand, Zax fired her mana gun at the monsters.

Piu! Piu!

It didn't take even three minutes for the two of them to make their way to the portal and entered it.

The portal swallowed Adam and Zax.

As soon as they stepped beyond the portal, the scenery that appeared in their field of vision changed dramatically.

Countess of monsters rushed toward them, and if not for Adam's power, they would have been crushed by the sheer numbers of these monsters.

"Let's move quickly!" Adam shouted.

The two of them immediately rose to the sky.

"What the hell is this?"

Adam and Zax agreed on one thing after seeing the world that they traveled across. "It's hell!"

They were nothing but dark clouds in the sky, and as far as the eye can see, there was only a desolate wasteland.

The only things that moved around these lands, were monsters of all types.

It was a very dangerous place to venture into. But...

"Let's move quickly... Cristal, can you locate the tracker on Verte?"

"Yes, it's still active.".

Cristal was in a suit form but she could move autonomously. "Okay, lead us there."

Fortunately, Adam managed to put a tracker on verte.

If it was not for that, then he would have lost the chance to save Liu.

Adam and Zax moved as fast as possible to the location where Liu was.

However, the monsters noticed their presence and attacked them.

These were the type of monsters that could fly. For example, giant insects and wyverns.

It was hard to fight against these monsters while flying.

Roar!

The wyverns began to breathe ominous dark purple fire as they followed Adam.

A wyvern charged at him at full speed but he kicked its head with his full power and managed to avoid being preyed on.

"Damn it! Fuc* off, damned monsters!" Adam shouted.

Adam's power protected him and Zax against the flames, but at this rate, he would be out of gas before he could rescue Liu.

The wyverns were also too big and had tough black scales, so he couldn't neutralize their movement completely as there were a lot of them.

The situation didn't look good.

The monsters attacked the two of them from every direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Some charged at them, and some attacked using fire or acid.

And even when they fought back, it was still hard to get a critical hit.

They were surrounded.

Even if they landed on the ground, there was nowhere to hide because there were monsters almost everywhere.

At this rate, it may be hard to save Liu in time.

"Cristal, Are we still far from Liu?"

"At this speed, we will reach our destination in 15 minutes."

"What? Tch! "

Adam was almost at his limit, and he needed time to recover the neutral particles inside of his body.

In addition to that, Adam could feel that the amount of neutral primordial in the environment was very unusual. 'I almost can't feel any...'

It would be bad if he passed out now.

He took this decision in the heat of the moment, so there were a lot of things that he didn't consider.

'What is Liu for me? Why do I go to this extent for her?'

Still, it might have been worse if he didn't do anything.

Roar!!

The monsters' attack didn't slow down, on the contrary, more and more of them charged at Adam and Zax.

Zax used almost all of her guns and cannons at the same time.

She shot at the monsters nonstop and the weaker monsters fell down lime flies.

Piu! Piu! Boom!

The strong ones could avoid the shoots and the others didn't even feel it.

The black wyverns that looked were the strongest and the biggest, and unfortunately for Adam and Zax, there were almost fifty of those.

These black wyverns were all level 7 monsters.

Adam and Zax managed to avoid their attack or nullify them, but it intensified as the monsters increased in numbers.

Roaaar!!

If Adam faced one of them, then he would manage to win somehow, but fifty of them? It was a lost cause.

Adam and Zax were engulfed in dark flames as the wyverns attacked them at the same time.

"Zax discard your armor! And grab onto me!"

,m "What?"

"Just do it!"

Zax didn't understand what Adam was trying to do but she knew that Adam had a plan and so she trusted him.

"Cristal, let's use that now! Trump card number 3."

"Are you sure, I won't be able to assist you anymore after that, you know."

"Just do it! We will die here if you don't!!!"

After Adam said that, his glowed red. "Zax, grab on tightly!!"

"Master, this is the final outburst!"

Swoosh!!

Adam and Zax were propelled forward at a very high speed.

This was Adam's final trump card that could let him run away from his enemy if things took a bad turn.

However, this used almost all of Cristal's energy, and she would go into sleep mode and recharge.

She would manage to use her basic functions again after an hour but she wouldn't be able to transform or float.

They managed to outrun the monsters but it was just temporary.

However, Adam could finally see a building that looked like it was human-made.

It was a black and ominous castle at the top of a cliff, it looked literally like a villain's deen.

Adam and Zax landed on the ground, almost a hundred meters away from this castle.

They had to continue on foot from there.
