CHAPTER 65: The Escape

When Lucid raised the sword of the Ancients, the Ground started shaking violently. It was as if an earthquake is bound to happen..

Kirnale: Ok Lucid.. What did you do this time?!
Lucid: Hey.. I just picked up the sword! Honest!
Namiele: This must be the last trap the Worm dragon prepared for us...
Elysia: Yeah... Apparently.. If he dies, he wants us to die with him...
Lilith: Well, there's little time to lose! We gotta get out of here!
Lucid: Lilith's right. We gotta escape or risk getting caved in!

Soon, the visitors left the hall and rushed towards the exit.. However, some parts of the way out are blocked.

Kirnale: Crap! The way is blocked!
Lucid: and I'm guessing much of the path is as well..
Lilith: Stand back guys! I'm gonna blast our way out!
Namiele: I'll help out as well!
Elysia: Same here!

Soon, Elysia, Namiele and Lilith was able to clear the path and the visitors moved on. Soon, rocks started falling and the whole cave is finally falling apart.

Lucid: There' isnt much time! We gotta get outta here!
Kirnale: uhh... Lucid.. We might get delayed here...
Lucid: Why?
Eriol: Better look and see...

They saw a huge skeleton army infront of them. Behind the army lies the exit.

Maru: Wow... That sure is a lot of them...
Moro: Yeah.. You think we can manage?
Lucid: We have beaten before, we can beat through them again!
Lilith: but we are wasting precious time if we try to beat them again!
Elysia: I say, we just rush through them.
Lucid: Good Idea. On 3, we rush em. Ready?
All: Ready.
Lucid: On 3.
All: THREE!

Soon, the visitors rushed through the massive skeleton army. It was hard but they managed to barely survive the assault and got out safely. Soon, they saw the cave collapsing and the Worm Dragon's Lair was no more...

Lucid: Ah finally, it's good to be on the outside world again...
Lilith: Yeah.. At least now we'll be able to rest for the time being...

Soon, Sugar and Pepper appeared.

Sugar: Guys! Guys! The Goddess has a new mission for you!
Lucid: What is it?
Pepper: She said you must go and meet up with the army that the inhabitants of the realm of Junon have made...
Kirnale: Where are they now?
Sugar: Currently at Anima Lake. They're preparing to strike at the bastion of the Dark Goddess Hebarn at the desert of the dead.
Lucid: Sure. We'll go there by tomorrow morning... For now, let us rest... We've been through hell and back and we're too tired to go back to the lake...
Pepper: Alright. should we tell the commander of the forces there?
Kirnale: Go ahead.
Sugar: Thanks. good luck on you journey!
Lucid: Yeah... and hopefully with the new sword that we have, we can finally put an end into this...

Soon, the visitors set up camp and rested, for tomorrow, they will have to meet up with the Army of the inhabitants and hopefully put an end to Hebarn's cruel quest.
