The source of this huge earthquake occurred in the underground of the Northern Regions City, and its fluctuations were so large that the scope was the largest in the world. To the north are the Ash Mountains, to the west to the Ctesland Coast, to the east to the Holy White City, and to the south to the imperial capital of Arrig. Whether it was a villager in the countryside, a merchant traveling in the city, a scholar in the City of Knowledge, or a priest in the Temple of Dawn, almost all of them could feel the trembling of the air and the mourning of the earth.

At that moment, they panicked and frightened, and they wanted to find out what was going on, what kind of existence came to the world, causing such turmoil.

Little did they know at the time that it was this huge earthquake that plunged the already turbulent Northern Regions into complete chaos.

They also didn't expect that this same huge earthquake, a few months later, sounded the horn of destruction for the Northern Regions and sounded the death knell of the fall.

Deep, dim underground.

After a long time, Ian shook off the rubble that had accumulated on his body, swept away the smoke and dust around him, and slowly opened his eyes.

Large rock formations above my head crumbled and slid away, but fortunately they didn't seem to have collapsed. Ian glanced down at the probe and spotted the massive body of Atharis.

The giant worm lay motionless on the ground as if it were dead. The flames on its body have all been extinguished, and even the flowing magma has skipped the cooling step at this moment and directly condensed into rock. Countless rubbles fell from the top of the head, and it was buried and piled up into a peculiar burial mound.

At that moment, a hoarse cough sounded, and Ian, who realized something, turned around.

Sure enough, the black-haired girl, who had already lost her divine form, was lying down in the rubble behind her, coughing in pain.

Ian hurriedly ran to her side, and immediately found that the girl's face was extremely pale, her body was full of broken lines, and there was a faint glimmer under her skin.

Ian suddenly had a bad premonition in the bottom of his heart. He slowly crouched down and gently reached out to touch the girl's left hand. As soon as it made contact, it was immediately bounced away.

"It's hot!"

With this discovery, the shadow in Ian's heart grew bigger and bigger, how could he forget that the last time the girl showed this gesture, he had been sick at home for a month, and the characteristics he saw in front of him were exactly the same as Camilla had told him!

"Fei'er, how are you feeling?" Ian hurriedly opened his backpack, and after throwing away a few broken potion bottles, he found the only stamina-restoring potion in front of him, bit the cap of the bottle, helped the girl up, and wanted to pour it into her mouth.

However, Phil slowly turned her head after seeing his movements: "Ian, this is useless to me, how is Atharis?"

"Leave it alone Assais. Seeing that the girl was still worried about this, Ian couldn't help but raise his voice and complained anxiously about the girl: "What has become of you! What happened to you, why did you become like this!?"

"I'm fine, just rest for a while. Phil shook her head with great difficulty, looked Ian in the eye, and stubbornly asked again, "Assathys, how's it going?"

"It's dead!" Ian closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. The girl was as stubborn as she was in many ways, though Ian wasn't sure if Atharius was really dead. But he knew that if he didn't say that, the girl would never rest at ease.

Sure enough, when he said this and opened his eyes again, Fier, who was relieved to confirm the death of Asathius, had already closed his eyes and passed out.

Ian turned around and glanced at the giant worm that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, then gritted his teeth and picked up the girl's hot body, stood up, and after shaking it slightly, he moved slowly in the direction of the spiral hall.

His physical condition at this time is actually not much better than that of a girl. Completely recklessly urging the sword intent, his body has already become full of holes, if it weren't for the black clothes, I'm afraid the girl would have found that his body was actually full of blood. And beneath him, blood was dripping and converging into a shallow lake in the low-lying place.

At this moment, the reason why he was still able to act was because he relied on the power of the potion. Once the effect of the medicine on the single has passed, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to move for half a minute except to speak.

This is underground, and although there should be no other demons because of the presence of Asasius, the odds are that Ian is not willing to gamble on that possibility. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that he could still move, and take Fei'er through the tunnel and back to the fluorescent hall. It was only when I got there that I had some security for the time being.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of several rubble sliding behind Ian.

This caused Ian to freeze in place.

"How is this possible!"

"Is it really alive!?"

Ian only felt a cold sweat break out, if Asharis still had the strength left, then it was undoubtedly announced that they would definitely die!

He hugged Fei'er and forced himself to turn his head.

When I saw it, the body of the giant insect under the platform was really still up and down!

It also slowly moved its massive body, shaking off the accumulated rubble on its body, as if ready to stand upright at any moment and deal a fatal blow to the two of them, who were already exhausted.

This series of actions made Ian grit his teeth. He did everything in his power to hold Fei'er, barely hiding in the shadow behind a rock on the platform, and did not dare to slack off to cover up the figures of the two of them.

Assathys was extremely sluggish, shaking off the rubble from its body and stumbling to its feet. Then he began to look around, looking for the enemy.

Ian was overjoyed to see this in his mind, glad he had blinded three of its eyes on the right side. This undoubtedly creates a huge visual blind spot, allowing it to find its own coken greatly reduced.

And sure enough, after looking around, Asharis really couldn't find Ian and the others. It let out a faint, hateful hiss. Then, he lowered his head and moved his whole body towards the cave behind him.

At this moment, although it was not dead, the huge explosion also left him with almost fatal injuries. It needs to find a safe place, fall into hibernation, and quietly heal from its injuries.

Sensing the retreat of Asathys, Ian suddenly let out a long breath, with a wry smile for the rest of his life, picked up the sleeping Fei'er, and walked towards the tunnel in front of him. To be continued.
