"Nothing" Fein chuckled.

He then looked at the passage that looks calm on the surface. But in fact fraught with dangers. He doesn't know who designed or arranged the layout and obstacles of this underground, but it was surely difficult. Even he who has a lot of tricks to his sleeves has nearly been sent to heaven. Well if he was alone, he can probably escape though. but having companions have its own advantages and disadvantages so, without them, he would have a hard time coping with other aspects that they can do that he can't.

"Voli, prepare you're thunder step. Then I would support you from getting hit by metal spikes If needed." Fein told them to prepare as he took his metal balls and gave them to Sofia.

"I would use them to exchange places don't drop them"historical

Fein reminded Sofia one last time.

Sofia took the two metal balls in her hands and clenched them tightly. "Don't worry, I know what to do. How about you're right hand? can you wield your sword with your condition?"

"Well, I still have my left hand, don't underestimate my talent. Although it will reduce my attack speed by 30% though." Fein grinned.

She condensed a blood shield and gave it to Fein. "Use this it might help... Pls be careful."

Voli nodded at his master, his feet began to release electric sparks before it turns into blue flashes of lightning that stimulate the muscles on his feet that can essentially enhance his speed. then he began to run using his four feet and he turned into a phantom. In Voli's view, the surroundings became blurred as he accelerated immensely.

This is due to the fact that his reaction speed can't keep up with his movement speed. After all, the lightning step only targets the feet, not the nerves. But one day, it is possible to enhance his neuron or synapses with electricity to boost his reaction speed and even brain function.

As Voli disappeared, Fein looked at Aoi and motioned him to follow. He infused degu on his feet with precision before channeling his strength and dashed. Using his footwork and flashing dash he disappeared. Aoi flew at her maximum speed to follow. Her wing was glowing in a dazzling blue as she was using her 'Ice Snow Wing' to boost her flight speed.

With this formation, the four kept running, metal spikes began to emerge one after another. It was slow at first but it began to accelerate every minute that passed.

The metal spikes can't keep up with Voli's speed, it only posed a threat to Fein and Aoi behind him.

It doesn't seem that they need my support. Fein look at the small black spot far away in front of him that was gradually becoming smaller. The speed of Voli had really surpassed his expectation. Suddenly five metal spikes appeared, he evaded them proficiently as he had already experienced this. These metal spikes really test his reaction speed limit and evading capabilities.

Fein began to slow his speed to let Aoi pass first and support him. Just like that, he only saw a blue silhouette past him. he held the hilt of his sword with his remaining left hand as he saw in his vision that the metal spike's speed could already match his perception.

It looks like if don't support her, she would still be hit with that speed.

Without hesitation, Fein began to use his sword art, red sword light emerged in the void cutting down the metal spikes that were blocking their path.

Aoi thought that he would gonna be hit as one of the spikes was already 3 inches on his body. Thankfully, the friend of his master supported him.

This process continued for 3 minutes until they are already midway. constant flashes of red light kept pouring out as Fein kept unsheathing, his hands appearing like a blur due to the dexterity of his hands. The metal spikes no matter how fast can't rival the flickering red light. They only have one end, and that is to be sliced by Fein's sharp relentless attack.

The only problem with this is that Fein would easily get exhausted because he was doing a high-intensity movement.

Looking forward, Fein finally saw Voli and Sofia on the other side of the passage. "Aoi, just wait for me, slow down a little first." Fein reminded, then he vanished.

Aoi followed Fein's instructions, as she reduces her flapping speed. as Fein vanished, the pressure of metal spikes increased. One after another they kept coming rapidly. But she didn't flinch because she knew that she only have to buy time. She stimulates her energy inside her. Thick walls emerged from the ground successfully slowing down the pace of metal spikes slightly.

Thud! thud!

The sound of metal spikes penetrating the ice walls echoed in the passage. Aoi who was slowly getting anxious felt a pulling force appear in the void, the scene in front of her changed no longer the spikes. in front of her were her master and Voli who were looking at her with relief. then she saw a metal ball beside her vanish and a familiar silhouette appeared.

"Come on, I just want to leave this darned place as soon as possible." Fein walked briskly leading the way to the black gate.

Looking at the passageway, Sofia couldn't believe that a lot of things happened. it was like a dream, and they were riding on a roller coaster. a lot of twists and turns happened but they manage to resolve them with their teamwork and their reliable leader. She really looks up to Fein who was good at decision-making and can always stay calm even in the face of death.

The environment gradually became lighter, and the darkness they got used to receded as they got nearer to the entrance.

Fein pushed the black gate and the four of them step out. The glittering light of the sky blinded them, as the fresh air soothed their skin. Fein looked at plain Desert in front of him. For him, it looks a lot more pleasing now after getting out of the horrible underground.

"Oh the environment, the colorful sand, the fresh air, and the drifting clouds that were drifting freely. I have missed it!" Fein said in a melodramatic way.

"I think you're exaggerating it," Sofia said, but a gentle smile was also formed on her face.

Voli and Aoi kept doing some postures while cheerfully moving in circles.
