Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter II Chapter 62

Kevin and his troops were enjoying their warm time at a night bar in the North, precisely in the city of Blue Sea.

After deposing Count Lehman, the slave merchant, Kevin had also completed the upheaval of the town's population.

Count Lehman allied himself with the demon race to bring down the kingdom of Solus. Thanks to Alice's help uncovering the true figure behind Berness's identity, Kevin is more likely to get a clue. After he went to the Berness residence, he found many important documents about sales, plans and other dark things.

Count Lehman also took advantage of public opinion by encouraging them to revolt. The plan began as a slave trader who sold his slaves to the demon race to serve as ritual sacrifices or food for several demon race tribes. Then, by accusing the King as a mastermind who plotted with the demon race, Count Lehman used the riot of the citizens to let the soldiers off guard against him. Luckily Kevin had prepared his plan well. Kevin manages to capture Count Lehman as he escapes through an underground passageway.

Kevin looked at the rest of the beer in his glass, a glimpse of Alice's friendly smile and her voice calling his name. Kevin shook his head and gulped down his drink. There was a slight feeling of longing to meet the girl.

The laughter and noise inside the bar was so loud that it could be heard from behind the wall. Kevin got up from his chair and came out with the intention to refresh his head. As he closed the door, suddenly one of the soldiers approached him with a letter. Kevin received the letter, he saw the seal of the royal family. He was wondering if his father might call him or if something emergency was going on in the Royal Palace.

The letter with the seal of the royal family was not the same as the last time he received it from his spies. Royal seals can only be used by kings, queens or princesses and princes. And sometimes, the letter contains something important.

Kevin opened the letter and started reading it. Instantly Kevin's face stiffened and his eyebrows swooped down. His face became more serious.

Kevin ran hurriedly towards the stables. When he came back and passed the bar on his horse. One of the people who saw him asked. "What's going on? You don't look okay."

"Tell the others, I'll return to the capital. If you've solved everything, follow me immediately." Kevin said then he drove his horse.

It didn't take long, Kevin kept moving and left the city border. His heart beat faster and his breathing became harder to control.

It turns out that the letter he read was news about Alice's disappearance.

As if the world had been taken back from him, Kevin looked chaotic. He doesn't know what happened to him. His anxiety towards Alice seemed to force his body to move on its own. Kevin shook his head as he thought that he would never see Alice again.

Although only a few weeks he practiced matchmaking and spent a little time with Alice, without him realizing the love was embedded in his heart. A bit of regret arose in his head because he was too late to realize his feelings.

A great shock made Alice open her eyes. A space crack suddenly appeared and made a crack in front of him. Once again Alice was sucked into the dimensional hole. The chaotic movement of space exerted pressure on his body. The pain began to envelop every inch of his bones. The dimensional passageway with the unstable flow of space and time made Alice feel that she was being squeezed by two mountains.

In order to protect his body from being torn apart and destroyed due to the pressure inside the dimensional passageway. Alice used an extremely dense Qi and formed a protector around her. Alice had actually maximized her strength, until blood started flowing from the corner of her lips.

Time continued to pass and he started to get exhausted, his Qi was drained bit by bit. Meanwhile, Nyx who was recovering her Mana in the sea of Alice's consciousness was also disturbed. He felt an upheaval from outside.

Nyx asked Alice through her thoughts. "What's going on?"

"I'm stuck in a dimensional passageway. A crack happened and a crack sucked me into it."

Nyx's eyes were wide. "Wine! You need to get out of this place!"

"I know but my energy is running low." Reply Alice while shaking her head.

"Good."

Nyx has not recovered all her strength, plus she is merely a bodily will of the soul. Although it's difficult, but if Alice dies here then she will disappear.

Nyx began to collect the remaining Mana in her body and made a dimensional hole in front of Alice. When making dimensional holes, Nyx would use a lot of Mana and therefore, it could not maintain its dimensional holes long enough.

"Now!" Nyx.

Without a second thought, Alice jumped into the crack that appeared before her. He passed through the hole quickly and fell on the ground. Alice thought that she would land in a slightly deeper place.

Alice groaned in pain, then she raised her head slowly and looked around her. A stone wall with moist, dark air, Alice realizes that she is in a cave. Alice also did not feel the breath of life around her, she only heard water droplets that were out of nowhere.

Alice got up, she rested herself by leaning against the wall, walking slowly while dragging her heavy legs. The chaos within that dimensional space actually drained a lot of his energy.

"Nyx, do you know where we are?"

Fax : .....

Nyx did not respond to Alice's question. He was worried and immediately closed his eyes to see Nyx's condition in his sea of consciousness.

Alice was shocked when she saw Nyx lying on the floor. Alice quickly approached Nyx and laid her down on her thigh.

"Nyxx..Nyx..." Call Alice.

Nyx's eyes twitched. When she opened it, Alice's anxious-looking face was the first thing she saw. Nyx's lips slightly bristled to the side. "Calm down, I'm fine. I just need to rest and recover my Wherea." Nyx said in a soft voice.

"Are you sure?"

Nyx got up and sat down for a moment. He closed his eyes and stood up followed by Alice. "For a while, maybe I won't be able to help you. I have to recover my energy." Clearly calm.

"alright. Take a break.and thank you for your help."

After confirming the state of Nyx. Alice returned to the cave. His instincts say that the place he is in right now is not a safe place. Hope to worry her inner self, may she not meet a cave-dwelling monster.

While walking, Alice also recovered the Qi energy in her body slowly. He traced the cave until he finally found a branching road. Three lanes were in front of him. As her strength had not recovered well, Alice had trouble tracing the space around her further. He decided to choose the middle path.

He walked and walked until he found a big door. From a distance, a curious Alice approached the door. As he got closer to the door, he saw that it was so solidly made of metal that it was harder than his sword and that it was held back by a large chain. Alice suspected that behind the door was something very dangerous. He decided to take another path, but as he turned around, Alice felt a life figure at the end of the road. His footsteps were so slow but the pressure of strength he felt was not something he could handle right now.

Alice clicked her tongue. There was no other way but to enter the room behind him. He turned and looked back at the door. The keys and chains looked old and rusty. Using her ice ability, Alice broke the chain and locked the door, pushing her all her might to get in and shut it again.
