Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 288: Changes Happen

*CRACK*

An intimidating crack could be seen forming just over the surface of the sea. The fissure grew nearly 3 metres wide when something jumped out of it.

*splash*

The unidentified being was too quick for eyes to observe and it nose-dived into the sea. This relatively long figure had an otherworldly beauty and housed an absurd amount of energy.

As if the figure has echolocation, it comes in on Lee Shen's almost lifeless body. It pierced water with such speed that the fishes and predators attracted by the scent of blood were thrown away by the shockwave.

[He is hanging onto his life with willpower. Get him inside quickly.]

The figure extended its hand and took Lee by his waist. All it took was a split-second to turn to the surface and...

Boom!

Like a cruise missile, the silhouette broke the sound barrier as it shot out of the water like a majestic dolphin. In a matter of seconds, that person covered several hundreds of metres while keeping Lee Shen safe.

Like a well-trained dolphin jumping through the loops, the figure broke the water surface and leapt straight into the spatial tear.

Within a fraction of second, the tear was patched and the reality was stitched together.

The city had plunged into chaos. Every resident was in a hurry to pack their belongings and flee the area.

Because they felt the presence of an unfathomable power!

To be precise, the explosion of the Tubian spewed out the Amortal's power with such density that the normal folks devoid of neither affinities felt threatened!

The Cultivator's Guild quickly dispatched people to help the injured and distraught. The sects also showed enthusiasm in fixing the disorder.

It was noteworthy that the Alaqvier academy came out of their campus walls to actively help people and restore order.

The new enhancements acquired by the students sowed seeds of inspiration in others. Due to Mana's compatibility with nature, their presence was found to be more essential than the cultivators.

-------

About an hour later.

Four Tubians suddenly appeared in the sky above the Piscerent city. They let their eyes sweep around them and observe the mayhem lingering on the ground.

The suicidal attack of the Tubian sent shockwaves so powerful that entire buildings were broken down to dust!

This unbelievable rate of destruction could be attributed to the Amortal's power.

The three among the four wore an outfit that of the cultivators. The last one had a warrior outfit and a great sword on his back.

But their genders were not readily comprehensible as they were all snakefolk.

A characteristic green colour could be seen on their skin which was decorated by a vast array of scales. The snake eyes were frightening and would have instilled fear in commoners at the first glance.

"One would have been fate. But two is suspicious."

The smallest among them spoke with a slithering accent. Their hairless, bald heads were devoid of ears and any facial hair. The spilt-tongue, unique to the snake race, could be seen exposing out of its mouth as it spoke.

"Shouldn't we report it to Yava?"

The tallest among them asked with a tinge of doubt. Upon hearing this query, another snakefolk looked at the person and asked-

"Report? So you think we can just go in and report that two of our fellow beings have vanished without a clue? Or are you telling that you have the guts to convey this message to the Great Yava?"

The questioning was unanswered as the one who asked the doubt couldn't reply anything. He kept silent after realising his mistake.

"That won't be necessary. Yava knows everything and will know everything."

The fourth one, which wore the warrior outfit, spoke and turned around to leave. Like a gentle breeze, that snakefolk disappeared into thin air.

To be precise, its speed was so great that it looked like disappearing into thin air.

The remaining three glanced at each other and silently followed the lead.

=====

7 PM.

5,978,110 Essence harvested.

The System Storage, an independent and untraceable subspace connected to the system, was silent as a cemetery.

The gigantic mansion was now a simple home. It resembled old wooden cabins in the woods.

With two separate bedrooms and a living room, the wooden textured single storey building stood humble.

In one of those rooms was a familiar figure. He laid on a wooden bed and was unconscious. The scars and wounds on his skin were yet to heal completely.

Occasionally, Lee Shen would moan in pain. Sometimes, he would bite down the pain. Even when the agony of being tortured surrounded him, his unconscious mind did not make any noises.

Across the room was a wooden table. Next to the table was a pair of chairs and a mature and beautiful feminine figure occupied one of them.

The solemnity of her face was evident in the air as her green eyes stared observed Lee Shen.

"Ruella, are you hungry?"

Hudson came into the room with a glass of watermelon juice and a plate of the sandwich. He placed them on the table as he glanced at the unconscious person.

There was seriousness on his face as his brows further knit upon seeing the hesitance of wounds to heal.

He shuttled his eyes to Ruella and saw that she had not touched the food. Then Ruella raised her eyes and locked with Hudson's gaze.

"He will wake up soon."

Ruella spoke as she understood the meaning of the gaze. Hearing this, Hudson loosened his knot brows and nodded, and then walked out of the room silently.

Ruella's eyes followed him until he disappeared from her sight. Then she focused back on Lee Shen. With no sign of waking up soon, Ruella displayed uneasiness regarding his condition.

System Space had its day-night cycle. The 24-hour cycle was flawless as D, using his authority of Dimension Sovereign, created it.

The night had fallen and the limited atmosphere of the subspace was painted black with a bright moon. That heavenly body was unlike Utopia's natural satellite.
