Chapter 308 Not Going To Risk It
Lillia\'s body shrank down, and she slowly floated back down to the ground. She looked like a goddess descending from the sky. Her arms opened wide as she fell down into Blake\'s arms, hugging him tightly. She leaned up and kissed his lips as she asked: "How was that?"
Blake smiled and caressed her cheek as he answered: "Beautiful." Blake really did think this girl was very beautiful, but he also couldn\'t help but be glad the girl remembered to create panties with her scales since her dress and underwear were destroyed just now.
"Hehe!" Lillia was actually nervous just now. She wondered what Blake\'s reaction would be if he saw her true form but he still held her tightly and looked at her with a loving gaze as he always did.
After a few more moments of Blake and Lillia being lovey dovey, Blake finally announced they needed to leave this world. Gre sat on the ground staring into the sky in confusion. Their race\'s proudest achievement, the moving city was completely destroyed. He couldn\'t fathom where these strange people came from. They looked as if they did not belong to this world, but he had never heard of anyone being able to cross worlds before. But just now, that massive being that took down his city was actually a small young woman that he was eyeing….
Blake and his group quickly gathered their men and made it back to the void. But before they left, Bret once more spoke up. "Blake, are we going to leave like this? I mean, if the tree of life may be fixable….."
"I do not want to risk it. Bret, our families live on Earth, and I do not wish for anyone or thing to destroy it. One wrong step, and we may even make that damn thing even more powerful than it is now. Maybe in the future, we will find a real tree of life and depending on the situation, we may go in and try to take it. But for now, we know one thing, that thing is dangerous, and this world has its own fate, and so does ours. We are not fated to take a tree of life at this time. And to be honest, we do not need the extra hassle. I was only willing to risk it for Noa\'s, Mina\'s, and Regia\'s sake. But now that it is not a true tree of life, I can outright say, while we have boosted our strengths, we are not ready and can not defend a tree of life even with Lillia here with us." Blake also did not like going home empty handed either, but there was nothing he could do about it. This world truly had nothing they needed.
"Sorry. I didn\'t think of that." Bret scratched his head. He was only thinking of how much of a waste of time this was.
"No worries, man. I am also a little pissed about not being able to bring anything back with us. But if anything, we did save Pue from this world, so that is enough for me." Blake patted Bret\'s shoulder and pushed him through the portal. Everyone else followed suit leaving only Lillia and Blake standing there.
"Just give me a moment, and I will have the magic array broken down. The void will become very unstable, but I will use a special barrier to wrap around us, and we can make it back without issue." Lillia explained as she was waving her hands back and forth, making many magic circles that flew up into the air disperse into particles of light.
While Lillia was doing that, Blake looked out towards the mountain the city was placed on and shook his head. Greed will surely get many people in trouble. Blake was not stupid. He knew why they were inviting them there. It was because they had powers that the people of this world did not.
Blake let out a sigh as he felt himself being engulfed in a soft embrace. He did not need to know who it was. He patted the delicate looking hand around his waist and smiled. "Let\'s go."
"Mmmm…." Lillia squeezed Blake and pulled him through the portal.
Not long after they left, a group of men in metal armor appeared. But they were forced to stop moving forward. A barrier now surrounded the tear that led to Earth. Lillia had changed how her barrier worked, and now it blocked everything. Nothing could get through, and no one was going to enter their world through this void. No one could pass through it even if they were inside it.
"Damnit! What should we tell the commander? We can\'t seem to get past this barrier thing."
"Just leave it be. This barrier is stronger than the one that was surrounding that demon tree. We can say we owe these people for helping us break the barrier we have been trying to break for so long so we can finally end this long war. Maybe our sun will be seen once again…."
"You are right. We have decimated our world. Now we can put the reclamation project into order. I believe the city council will be held in a few years\' time, but we first need to get our city back up and running."
"Let\'s go! We have work to do!"
----
On the other side of the void Blake and everyone returned back to Earth safely. With a bit of gloom in the air due to wasting time on some stupid demonic tree, they headed back to Destiny City.
But if it was not one thing, it was another. A loud voice with the arrogance of a princess could be heard coming from above them. "Stop right there! What is the trash of the dragonic race out running around!? Wait, why does she look different?"
Blake sighed and shook his head as he flapped his wings. He flew up into the air, raised his hand, and….
*Smack!*
