The Fire & Ice Emperor
Exit Way

Alta nodded, then sat down near Yasmine during Hanzel's search for a cure. He had full hopes that Hanzel would return quickly and bring the medicinal plants so that the poison present on Yasmine's body did not make anything undesirable.

At that moment Alta became quite agitated as she looked at Yasmine's pale old face like a blank paper. Lying helplessly with one of the wounds on his body part. Alta was really devastated, she regretted it and thought she should have realized this earlier.

“Granny Yasmine, hang on. Grandpa Hanzel will be back soon!” Alta said with a hopeful tone.

A few minutes later, Hanzel returned with a handful of leaves. He then took out a pounder and smoothed the leaves pretty quickly. In addition, Hanzel's face looked as pitiful as he hoped to not lose his wife's figure.

A medicine is formed from finely ground leaves. Hanzel who got it immediately rushed towards his wife who was still lying down. He's obviously pretty devastated, Theo knows that.

“Help me open his mouth.” Hanzel.

“Good.” Theo nodded.

He then tried to open Yasmine's mouth softly enough without acting rude in the slightest. While Hanzel immediately bribed the drug slowly. But in her true heart, she really felt pain because there was something she was aware of.

It made Hanzel inhale with tightness while wiping her tears. He even shook his head while giving a sad expression that made Alta who was looking at him completely pummeled.

“A-what's up?” The wry-faced Alta looked at Hanzel. In addition, he also felt that there were bad things that he really wanted to not hear. But he would not know what was going on if he were not curious.

“This medicine can only last for two weeks only. We need a healer from outside to heal Yasmine.” Hanzel tried to be tough.

“I'll look for him! I'll go upstairs and look for the healer!” Alta said with determination.

After all, they've been helping Alta all this time. Until his heart was moved to return the favor. In fact, it is a necessity that Alta did to help them to repay their services.

“But ...” Hanzel said hesitantly.

Alta had thought that Hanzel wanted to say that there was no way out of this place. This is a place where if it falls into this place it will never be able to rise again. Alta was determined. Even if it was him having to climb a steep cliff, he would never be afraid or hesitate to do so.

“I will not hesitate! Even if I have to climb to the top by climbing it is not a problem!”

“No, not that. There's actually a way out. Follow me!” Hanzel spoke as she wiped her tears.

He instantly stood in a place that made Alta herself enthusiastic. Who would think there was a way out of this place? it's just that he had time to wonder about why the old couple always hid something every Alta asked if there was a way out of this place?

Hanzel walked for quite a while, and Altair tailed him without a care. In addition, Hanzel is also seen rushing which makes Altair also excited.

As far as they walked, they reached a cliff wall far from their hut. Between the cliffs there is a large rock that is many times the size of the human body.

The stone also stuck to the cliff wall as if covering something. Goa maybe? And that was enough to make Alta a little curious.

“Instead there is a Cave that connects with the surface with a considerable distance.” Hanzel sighed before continuing.

“25 Years ago, we accidentally entered the cave. But in the middle of the cave, there was a guardian elemental beast that was a snake with great strength. Luckily we were able to run but got to this place.”

“You raised it?” Tanya Alta was curious.

“It was 25 years ago, in my prime I could push it. But now maybe I won't be able to anymore.”Said Hanzel lowering his head.

“For 25 years, is this the only time there is an elemental beast that fell and survived?”

“Actually rarely. For several years, there have been survivors. Forget it, now that we focus, are you sure you want to come to the surface? You may have to deal with the guardian snake.”

Altair thought. Could it be that Hanzel had not told her all this time for fear that Altair would be desperate to get inside the cave and get out? Hanzel did not want the figure of her or Altair to die silly from being careless.

It was just that now Hanzel had no other choice but to say it. But he still gave a statement whether Altair was willing with the consequences he faced.

“A-I'm not forcing you.”

“No! I will do it no matter what risks and consequences I may face. I'll be back as soon as possible!”

“We return first, I will prepare the supplies for you.”

Altair nodded, after all, there was no harm in bringing supplies to enter the cave to get out of this place.

They eventually returned to the hut, where Hanzel collected some food and also a bottle of clay-derived drinks. Altair also helps, so that the process is much faster so that he can get out faster and can find a healer for Yasmine's grandmother as well.

By the afternoon, everything was ready.

Altair actually wanted to leave right now. But Hanzel prevented it because it was already evening. It will be more dangerous because the animal will be more aggressive at night.

Forced, Altair agreed and postponed it until tomorrow.

It was only early tomorrow morning that Altair woke up. And he could see Yasmine lying unconscious. His face looked pale, but his breathing was still normal. It made Alta cry.

“Are you ready? You're being a right?” Hanzel said softly.

Somehow now old man Hanzel did not have a big enough spirit at all. It made Altair even sadder and almost shed his tears. Fortunately, he could hold it and smile.

“I'm ready.” Alta.

He also carried a woven bag that likely belonged to Yasmine before. But before Altair left, he hugged Yasmine who was lying down first and occasionally he kissed her cheek.

“Hold grandma, I'll be back as soon as possible.”

After that, Alta left while tailing Hanzel.
