After the masked man from Black Rose fled, Lucy went to check if Arthur was safe before continuing to wander around the secret Realm.

The monsters lurking in the inner area of the valleys were quite strong but Lucy just incinerated them before they even got to attack or move a muscle. Despite having to carry Arthur around with the use of the nine lotuses, her speed was alarming, like a shooting star which flew from one place to another.

The cultivators who witnessed this was dumbstruck, shrunk their necks and didn't dare block her path for fear of meeting the same fate as the monsters.

Lucy wanted to find the entrance to Timos' small world, where the Dark Blade is located. She used the black flames covering Arthur to see if she's either further or close to the destination.

In less than an hour, she went around the two valleys then headed for the circular mountain range. As she got closer to one of the mountains, the black flames along with the condensed blade made of black light piercing Arthur's chest reacted fiercely, causing Lucy to abruptly stop and study them.

The White Specter heard a faint sound come from the nearby forest so she focused her sense but found nothing unusual. As she shifted her attention back to Arthur, she was shocked to see naught but air.

The place where his body was floating was not empty, her nine ice lotuses returned to her side. Lucy frantically looked around but Arthur seemed to have vanished into nothingness.

To make matters worse, an annoying person appeared, causing Lucy to become even more infuriated. Her body soundlessly laid on the ground and the silver revolver transformed into a long silver rifle.

She stuck a bullet inside, leaned her eye closer to the scope and aimed at the masked man from earlier. He was following her but was neither fast nor perceptive enough to pinpoint her exact location.

Without any hesitation, Lucy poured her Mana into the rifle then fired, causing an ear-piercing sound to come out right after the bullet was shot and struck the man right in the chest.

His body was sent flying like a kite, a gaping hole in his bloody chest. He rolled hundreds of time on the ground before he coughed a lot of blood and struggled to get up.

Lucy readied another bullet and was about to attack only for the whole secret Realm to start violently shaking. Out of the blue, the sound of shattering glass reverberated across the whole world, it was immediately followed by an unstoppable suction force coming from high above.

"Something destroyed this world!"

Lucy's expression worsened as the nine lotuses fully bloomed and emanated a blue aura which enveloped Lucy, who fly into the air and looked around.

Since Arthur disappeared, he must've unconsciously entered Timos' world, as for her, she cannot stay here much longer as the world is crumbling, just like what happened in Riarravar.

As expected, a black hole made its horrifying appearance. It was like a vacuum, sucking the air, mountains, rivers, and so on…

Lucy activated her specter transformation, further boosting her stats and adding more to her defense. With lightning speed, she crossed a big distance and appeared next to the puzzled and struggling Cold Sword.

The black-haired girl was about to resist the suction using her Sword Essence but sooner or later, she would be pulled inside.

"L-lucy!"

Seeing the silver-haired woman appeared next to her, Jian Si was a bit relieved but she continued to defend herself. Fortunately, Lucy was there and provided a timely assistance.

"Please help my clan members."

Seeing Lucy about to leave and bring her along, Cold Sword had to plead lest everyone else dies.

The White Specter frowned and momentarily closed her eyes before waving her hand. Right after doing that, she left the area, leaving behind a rising sun covered in blinding golden flames.

The Golden Crow flames should be able to slow the black hole's suction for a few seconds, which should be enough for Lucy.

Cold Sword was unable to resist the force which wrapped around her body and made her fly behind Lucy.

Fortunately, they were able to find Jian Si's clan members along with the Grand Elder, whose face as pale as a sheet of paper as he expanded all of his energy to conjure a barrier which protected his clansmen.

"How are we going to leave?"

Although they were temporarily out of danger thanks to Lucy, they are still stuck in this realm and the exit was probably destroyed.

Lucy didn't reply and, instead, took out the silver revolver, loaded it with a silver bullet and fired the air in front of her.

The bullet instantly disintegrated and magically opened a spatial portal in front of the panic-stricken group. Without any delay, Lucy ushered all of them inside then followed behind.

To everyone's surprise, when they appeared outside, which should be deep inside the Rose Sea, the place looked dramatically different.

The water was completely gone and high-up above, there was a ginormous spaceship that emitted countless white and red colors. Furthermore, the place was surrounded by dozens of robots just like the one Lucy saw inside the Red Tower.

"What's this? What's happening?"

Cold Sword held her crimson blade as she glared at the faceless robots holding large cannons.

"Everyone here is under arrest for breaching Law 418 of-"

A robot that was larger than the rest was speaking with a loud voice. it was made of black metal and seemed to be the leader.

Sadly, before it could continue, Lucy's figure flashed before it. She was holding a thin white saber which was thrust into the target's head.

At first, it met some resistance but the tip of the saber quickly melted the robot's head thanks to the grey fusion flame Lucy had used.

In just a split second, Lucy disposed of what seemed to be the strongest robot, however, this was but the beginning as, like a ghost, her figure blurred before appearing next to a bunch of robots.

Golden flames danced in the air as they burned the retaliation robots, which raised strange-looking barrier that barely held on for a few seconds.

Lucy manipulated both the golden crow fire and Yin energy, turning the whole place into Hell. The onlookers were rooted in their places, able to only gawk at the unfolding events.
