The mountain path that branched off was right in front of them. However, rather than calling it a mountain path, it was more like a series of protruding rocks from the cliff. It was hard to say whether this was a magnificent feat of man-made carving.
It was just that it was a miracle for a man to complete such a project on a cliff like this, even if there were no strong winds. But now, it could only be described as a miracle.
"Lady Veronica, give me the Lionheart Sword! I'll go down, you guys run from the top! "Brando shouted as he ran. His voice was muffled by the wind.
"The Lionheart Sword?"
Veronica saw Brando's gaze on the Azure Firmament in her hand and suddenly understood. She looked at Brando in disbelief, but the latter nodded at her.
Veronica placed a hand on her sword and hesitated. But in the end, she still tossed it out. Brando caught the sword in midair and sprinted towards the mountain path that led to the abyss.
Andesha, who was far behind, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene. She was probably thinking about which path to pursue. But even if she had her doubts, she still cared about the Lionheart Sword that Brando spoke of. Besides, she would never give up on the Blood of the Dark God.
"My lord!"
Veronica grabbed Scarlet: "Don't go!"
"Let me go!"
Veronica looked at the red-haired girl with a long ponytail in surprise. Her eyes were as fierce as a wolf cub's, and she bared her sharp teeth as if she was about to bite Veronica at any moment.
Veronica was startled, but she could not help but chuckle in such a tense situation.
"Oh, I can see that you really like your lord."
"Ah!" Scarlet panicked and forgot to struggle.
Brando was already far away, and it was too late for her to turn back and chase after him. Andesha passed by them not far away, but she did not forget to throw a vine whip at them.
Veronica quickly pushed Scarlet to the side and rolled to the side to avoid the whip. She crawled up and saw that Andesha and Brando had already disappeared. When she looked down, all she could see was the rolling clouds.
Brando only remembered that he was still carrying Vahina when he landed on a sharp rock. The girl seemed to have been scared out of her wits, her teeth chattering.
"Why didn't you put me down just now?"
The young lady's voice trembled in the wind.
"Miss, do you want me to put you down now?"
Brendel jumped forward and weaved his way between the sharp protrusions of the rocks. He still had time to reply to her.
"No!!"
"Hey, I said, do you want it or not?"
"You, you, you, wait. When I get back, I'll ask my father to chop you into pieces!"
"Wow, I'm so scared. Why don't I just make you unable to go back?"
"You, you dare!?"
Brando loosened his grip, scaring Faena into shrieking and hugging his neck. Brando felt the back of his hand become wet. It was tears. Only then did he realize that he had scared this rich young miss to tears.
"Wuuuu, you bastard … …"
What a sin! But Brando did not feel remorseful at all. Instead, he felt that he had vented his anger. This rich young miss had caused him a lot of trouble, and the most recent one was just a few minutes ago.
He could not help but turn around to look at Andesha's position. She was moving faster and faster through the fog. She was using vines to replace her hands and feet to climb the cliff. Her speed was not slow at all, and she was about to break through the fog and arrive behind them.
There was a distance of about ten meters between them.
Andesha's Vine Whip swept across the distance, and something flew towards him with a 'whoosh' sound. Brendel was on high alert, and he leapt into the air before it could reach him.
He let the vine whip hit the rock and cut off a piece of it like a sharp blade.
But he was a little worried that Andesha had entered his attack range so quickly. The Lord of Withering Decay was much faster than him, and she would definitely catch up to him at this rate.
He looked up and saw rows of sharp rocks protruding from the cliff. There was no place for him to use as a foothold. Vahina rubbed her reddened eyes and said angrily, "That's right.
"Hey, your scabbard hit me!"
"Scabbard?"
Only then did Brando realize that he was still holding onto Veronica's Azure Firmament. His eyes lit up as he suddenly had a plan.
"Good idea!"
"Wha … what?"
"After your reminder, I thought of a good idea."
"Good idea? What are you talking about? "
Vahina was stunned, but she suddenly felt her body become light, as if she was riding on the clouds. She turned around uneasily, only to find that Brando had actually leaped into the abyss like a bird.
The aristocrat's daughter opened her mouth wide. She couldn't even make a sound. She had never been so excited in her life, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Vahina felt a strong gust of wind blowing against her face. Tears flowed out of her eyes — no, they flew out of her eyes.
She felt like she was about to die, about to die. In short, she was about to die in the next moment.
But he was not looking for death. He suddenly pulled out his sword from its scabbard and stabbed it into the cliff. A sharp screeching sound rang out as Azure Firmament pierced through the cliff, leaving a trail of golden sparks in its wake.
The two of them stopped falling and hovered in the air. They had already fallen a long distance and left Andesha far behind.
Brando had already set his sights on a rocky platform not far away. He pulled out Azure Firmament from the cliff and landed steadily on the platform. Even though there was wind in the valley, it was not a big deal to an existence of his level.
Then, he repeated this several times, and actually managed to steadily reach the area near the lowest level of the abyss.
When he finally stopped, Vahina was half-hugging him and looking at the sky. She was panting heavily, her chest heaving up and down as if her soul had not returned to her body for a long time.
"Am I dead?"
She asked in a daze.
Brando thought for a while and suddenly let go of his hand. Vahina fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
"W-w-what are you doing?!"
"That's why you'll know when I let go of you."
"Wuuu, you scoundrel … …"
The young lady started to cry pitifully again. At this moment, the young lady no longer had her fiendish appearance.
Brando felt numbness in his right arm. He raised his head and looked up. If possible, he did not want to go through this again. It was too exhilarating. Even with his Physique and Strength, he almost could not endure it.
He lowered his head again.
He could vaguely see a layer of black fog below. He and Andesha were very fast and had reached the bottom of the abyss in a short while. [But it's hard to say where the Lernaia Hydra is. We have to continue our pursuit.]
He crouched down and pushed Vahina's shoulder: "Stay here and hide. I'll lure her away."
Vahina was startled and even forgot to cry.
Brendel saw with his own eyes that the girl's blue eyes suddenly became alert. He did not know what she was thinking, but she suddenly opened her mouth and said:
"I'll go with you!"
[Oh?] Brando thought that she hated being with him, even more so than Andesha. But he quickly shook his head.
"That won't do. You'll slow me down if I bring you along."
Brendel was about to leave, but the moment he turned around, the noble lady quickly got up and followed behind him. Brando immediately sighed.
"It's dangerous to follow me. Don't you know what I'm going to do?"
"It's even more dangerous to stay here. Y-you can't leave a noble lady behind … … and in such a dangerous place." Her voice was getting softer as she spoke.
"Oh —"
Brando paused for a moment, but Vahina was right. Who knew what was at the bottom of the abyss? Even if they were hiding here, it was hard to say what would happen if they encountered any monsters.
He did not mind, but Scarlett was still with Veronica.
He thought for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Hmm … … Come."
"W-what are you doing?"
Vahina immediately became alert.
"Didn't you want to go with me?"
"But who wants to hold your hand!"
"Then forget it."
Brando pretended to leave.
"Wait! Hey! "
Vahina gritted her teeth and swung her twin ponytails as she hurriedly ran up to him. She looked at Brando's back and hesitated for a moment before grabbing his hand.
She was a little afraid of the surroundings, but she still stubbornly said:
"Y-you must remember that I'm not doing this because I'm afraid … … and … I won't thank you."
"Oh —"
Brando replied with a long drawl.
Andesha had not caught up to them yet, and the two of them slowly walked to the bottom of the valley. There was a layer of gray mist here, and there seemed to be a smell in the air.
Brendel sniffed the air, but before he could say anything, he heard Faena's voice: "Strange, there's a strong Elemental aura in the air. It's a Blunt Elemental Aura."
"Eh?"
Brando turned around: "You know it too?"
"Why can't I know it?" Vahina rolled her eyes.
"I'm an Elementalist, are you?"
"What kind of Elementalist are you? I'm a Magic Swordswoman, hmph, country bumpkin! "
Brendel used to be infuriated by her calling him a country bumpkin, but now it sounded different, especially when the lady's eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit's. He could not help but laugh.
"What are you looking at?" Faena glared at him, probably annoyed by his stare.
"You said this is a Blunt Air Elemental? Do you know what a Blunt Air Elemental is? "
"Hmph, all Elemental is active, and only Elemental that has been deposited in an area for a long time will become Blunt Air Elemental. But it's really inconceivable. How can a place accumulate so much Elemental energy?"
"Do you feel that the Elemental energy is getting denser?" Brando asked.
"Yes."
"That means we've found the right place."
"What?"
Vahina saw Brando take out a gray gem that shone with a faint luster. She was stunned for a moment, and felt that the gem was exceptionally beautiful.
