Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 390: Keep your enemies close Part2

After traveling for a while from the Pengu city outskirts, the trio finally reached a set of mountains that were fully submerged in thick white fog.

It was too sudden and too thick as if the phenomenon was not even natural and a white curtain intangible was drawn around the mountains to cover them fully inside which thick white air hovered.

“Brother, perhaps we should come back here with a few more items on hand.” Xavier mumbled, shivering at the uneasiness that was slowly overwhelming him.

Hmmm… Xander hummed. “No need. We are here to just take a look. If things get serious we will leave.” 

Of course, he knew better than to push their luck as otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

If they failed here and now, then no one else would be able to help Tang Yue and she was the only thing in at least two of the three elven brains.

As Xander’s mind wandered around while the three of them walked into the foggy area, he suddenly paused and his sharp sword like eyes trembled in fear and agony.

Leaving the other two behind, rather forgetting that there were also two others with him, he immediately sprinted ahead into the white foggy mess.

“Brother!”

“Xander!” 

Both Charlotte and Xavier called out to him, but before they could follow him, the next second their expressions darkened as well and the two of them shot forward in two other directions.

Sila. Sila. Sila.

Xander almost lost his mind as he raced, slashing down the trees and brambles in his path.

The entire forest was filled with a whimpering and groaning sound, followed by loud screams that made him panic and sweat, losing all of his rationality in a single breath.

Because it took him only a fraction of a second to recognize the familiar voice, a voice that he had longed to hear for weeks now.

Xander did not know whether to be happy or anxious. He came here in order to find Tang Yue and didn’t quite expect to find her so soon.

She was here. He knew it. He could tell. It was an unmistakable gut feeling.

“Yue?”

“Are you here?” Xander shouted at the top of his lungs, a delirious look on his face which he didn’t notice.

He weaved through the foggy forest and climbed the rocks that stretched out in front of him, searching for the woman he loved dearly.

“Help me.”

“Ahhh… Help me.” The voice again rang out.

She sounded like she was in pain and he was just an arm’s length away. It frustrated him that he was not able to get to her faster, help her faster.

“Yue? Where are you? Send me a signal. NOW!!!” Xander shouted lividly. 

He ran around, climbed the winding uneven slopes, and searched for a mere glance of her for hours together, and yet he was going nowhere.

He couldn’t even think clearly and he had already forgotten how much time had passed.

Only one thought was running in his mind and it owned him.

A couple of miles away from Xander, Charlotte was doing the exact same thing.

Charlotte had run away the moment she saw something pale blue lying on the ground at a distance. An ominous feeling had crept up in her heart, but when she came closer and saw what she saw, she was completely shattered.

She instantly collapsed on the ground, her body covered in the thick fog making her unable to see anything else, but she didn’t quite care about that right now.

In front of her was the woman she loved, her body already dead and decaying as if she was an orphan without anyone to love her.

Charlotte wailed at the top of her lungs as she clutched the dead body and hugged it tightly to her body.

“No. No. No. Yue… Why did you leave me like this? You left me all alone? Why did you go alone? I could have died with you? Why did you do this to me?” 

The elf shouted, at the top of her lungs, sobbing and her eyes almost reddened enough to spill blood as tears instead of saline.

And on another direction, the last elf was surprisingly also in a similar plight. Xavier did not understand why but he suddenly couldn’t find anyone else besides him. 

He felt as if he had been trapped in this place for years or even decades, loneliness, the feeling that he hated the most, plaguing him to no end.

Just like Xander and Charlotte, he was also suffering, but his suffering was different than theirs.

While their demons were outside them, his demon was within himself. 

Drowning in loneliness and depression, without the things that he usually used to masquerade his true self, he was truly in misery.

And worse, there was no end to this misery of his. He knew that it was a part of him that he would never ever be able to get rid of.

He had to live with it, but it was too much for him to handle. He just couldn’t take it anymore and he was also unable to find a way out of this white fog which he only barely remembered about.

After what felt like an eternity, among the three elves who were lost in their own personal hell, Xavier was the first to give up and he stopped moving. 

“I am done.” He muttered, his eyes completely devoid of any hope, and took out a dagger from his ring.

However, already being a partial Demi-God, even if he wanted to kill himself, it was not an easy task.

After he took out the dagger, he also took out a few runes and pressed it against the dagger, the weapon swallowing it all.

The elf then raised the dagger and placed it directly on his throat, ready to slit himself and end everything once and for all.

He really couldn’t take it anymore.
