Chapter 485: Crumbling?
The Captain, having stolen all of the furniture into his spatial ring, looked over yonder. With his hand placed horizontally above his brows, he managed to find a swarm of stormy clouds approaching them.
He grimaced, "A storm is brewing afar..."
In a few dozen or so minutes, he was sure that the entire island would become a victim of the sky’s wrath.
After Lillian had slotted the Divine Gem into the empty slot it was meant to enter, they quickly escaped the crumbling temple and made their way back to the Heart of the Jungle.
Once arriving, Lillian walked towards the very centre of the Jungle Lord’s arena, standing in front of his stone throne. She stared at it for a while before pulling her hand out and summoning a reflective glass shard.
Chucking it to the side, Lillian summoned the Jungle Lord.
The tall Wendigo wielded a long stone spear and a battle axe in either hand—and had a metal greatsword strapped to his back with vines; the Regular Greatsword.
Lillian watched as he looked around his arena and the way he looked down at what was once his throne. He glanced at Lillian with a look of realisation and nodded at the gesture she made.
Then, without a shred of hesitation, he swung his battle axe and destroyed his throne in a single swing, just barely missing the Divine Gem that was hidden underneath.
As the Wendigo watched his master retrieve the Divine Gem, he looked around once more before turning and beginning to walk towards the illustrated walls of his arena.
And when he arrived at them, he stabbed his spear into the ground before tracing his hand across the etched illustration on the walls, reading the records of battles before him that were made with the help of the tribal members.
He wasn’t sure yet, but he knew this would be the last time he would return to his arena—a place he had claimed and lived in for countless years.
Lillian glanced towards the Wendigo and gave him a sad and empathetic smile. Finding that there wasn’t any reason to disturb the Jungle Lord’s moment, she waited for him.
And when he seemed to have finished taking everything in, Lillian returned him to her Mana Realm before meeting up with everyone to be taken to the top of the Jungle Temple.
Unlike the past two temples, there wasn’t a mystical flower at the top of this temple. It was instead covered in flowers; plain old flowers...
After stealing the Major Affinity Pill from within a clay jar that was decorated with flowery patterns, Lillian stood before the pillar for the Divine Gem.
She breathed in a deep sigh and waited...
...
Waiting for nothing.
Anxiety coursed through her body as she looked behind her, watching as the Captain, Viesta, Emilio, and, surprisingly, Jon—who she felt was too serious for this type of stuff—played around with the furniture before taking them away with their spatial ring.
It made for a joyful and relaxed atmosphere, something Lillian couldn’t help but appreciate, as just watching them calmed her nerves.
She couldn’t wait to feel something like that again, especially after this Trial...
Lillian’s face shook before hardening.
With gritted teeth, she calmly pulled Emilio off to the side.
"W-wha—did you n-need something, miss—"
"Just come here for a bit."
Viesta, Jon, and the Captain watched as the obviously startled Emilio was pulled off to the side, taken into a private conversation with Lillian that they couldn’t eavesdrop on.
The three looked at each other before comically shrugging in unison with a raised eyebrow.
After Lillian had returned Emilio, who seemed to be bursting with excitement for some reason and also shaking in fear, she pulled out her phone with a small smile.
"How about a group selfie, everyone? Just so we remember this moment."
While her sudden request did cause confusion, no one was ultimately against it. In fact, they were pushing her to take it faster as they pulled her into the centre and positioned themselves around her.
With broad and happy smiles, everyone listened as a soft...
Snap.
... Sound of the camera echoed.
And when it resounded, the Captain immediately made a comment about Lillian’s white rabbit phone case:
"That’s quite the phone accessory, yar got there! KAHAHAHA!"
After playfully rolling her eyes and arguing back a bit, Lillian stepped towards the stone pillar and held the Divine Gem over the empty slot.
"The moment when I put this gem in, make sure to keep close together, alright!"
But right as Lillian was about to put it in, the Captain suddenly asked a question.
"Matey, If I will, do yar perhaps know the name of this island?"
The Captain wasn’t sure why, but the moment he realised that there was more than one temple on this island, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity...
Lillian, watching as the Captain brushed his hand through his beard, smiled a bit.
"The Three Temple Island."
"The Three Temple—WHAT!?"
Click.
Rumble...Slotting in the gem, Lillian looked back and smirked.
"Because I don’t us all to lose each other during the fall."
"Huh? Are you referring to when the temple just crumbles?" Viesta asked, finding something about the way Lillian smiled to be rather eerie.
"Eh, nope. Well, kind of."
Rumble...
The temple shook again, but this time... On a scale much greater than any tremor that had been made compared to past temples. It was like... The entire island was shaking.
Lillian raised her hand and wrapped her fingers into a fist before popping out her thumb. She then pointed down with it and said, "Basically, just like those temples—the entire island will crumbling."
"... Huh?" x 4
The moment she said that, another tremor appeared from within the island, causing long cracks and fractures to appear, which caused the wildlife around to panic.
Trees and monsters fell, sand and water plummeted, and the cliffs and underground broke apart. Whatever was connected to the island was destroyed, falling into a deep abyss below.
Everyone quickly scrambled to their desired person. Lillian leapt towards Viesta—Emilio and Jon leapt towards the Captain.
Viesta and the Captain carried their passenger(s) to the sky, watching as the entire island below them began to plummet into the deep abyss below.
The water that surrounded the island fell inwards, falling with the crumbling island and forming a large-scale cascading waterfall that made for a jaw-dropping sight; if not for the fact that they had watched the entire island crumble, everyone would have taken a picture to remember it...
Snap.
Well, everyone who wasn’t in shock at what they saw, like Lillian.
After putting away her phone, she was met with everyone’s shocked gazes. Lillian giggled a bit and held a finger over her lips.
She then muttered:
"This isn’t the end yet, guys. You should prepare for the Pressure."
