The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1254  A Chaotic World

A moment later the sound of small legs rubbing together made weird 'Ki-ki' sounds that came in his direction. Zhao Li Xin tilted his head waiting to see what this creature was and judging from the sounds there seemed more than a dozen perhaps hundreds coming in his direction.

Zhao Li Xin raised his hands soon after the dark blue flame lit up his fingers not long after it illuminated the whole Labyrinth but a second later she was greeted by hundreds of human head's skulls with long, spider-like legs hurtled towards him.

One of the reasons he didn't panic was because he was already used to it and the other reason was because he recognized the beasts from the beasts introduction book that Lory gave him as Skulker.

The Skulker is a creature that likes to eat humans when it finds them, so this creature likes to use human skulls as a place to live like snails. However, this creature has very fast movements because it has eight small and strong legs like a spider. Apart from that, this creature also has the ability to spit lace silk poison to catch its prey.

Even though the outer appearance looks scary, this creature is not very strong. As long as it can avoid the strands of venom it spits out and finds a way to escape from the creature's encirclement, it won't be difficult to deal with this creature, moreover, the creature's main weakness is fire!

Zhao Li Xin raised his palms soon the dark blue flame engulfed his hands just like a torch a second later he threw his bolt of flames at the swarming beast which immediately burned the creature.

The Skulker making aloud screeched as they dodged the fire. The disgusting creature scattered all over the place some of them crawling onto the wall just like spiders would, alas, the creature's efforts were in vain but Zhao Li Xin didn't want to finish this fight too quickly, so he swung his sword swiftly slaughter the disgusting creatures like a wind swept the dry leaf howbeit some of the remaining Skulker spit the silk strand at Zhao Li Xin their attack immediately swallow by Zhao Li Xin blue flames that soon reach to them.

Zhao Li Xin almost felt disappointed then he heard heavy footsteps followed by a scraping sound not long after from the dark path a seventeen-tall creature appeared, the beast had dozens of human skulls as its head and eight sharp-thin legs, what made even more scary was that the beast had a strange stomach that looks like a like mouth but covered in rows of teeth sharp that opens and closes.

The beast looked very scary but that wasn't enough. The animal raised its tail, which was shaped like a scorpion's tail, only the end of the tail resembled human palms but it had four fingers that were overgrown with long sharp nails Zhao Li Xin stared at the ugly creature and was secretly grateful that Lory didn't see it otherwise his wife would complain non-stop about how ugly this creature was.

The beast nudged the death skulker that burned to death, having no reaction the beast knew what was becoming of this charred creature. The giant beast is called Skulga and it's the mother of the skulker so it's no wonder the beast glares furiously at Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin opened his arms and sneered "Sorry, your children... are ugly as you are" he kindly spoke Harlandish worried the beast not understand what he was saying, the beast let out a long deafening screech that shook the ground yet Zhao Li Xin's expression remained placid like the surface of the winter lake. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

___________________________________________

Lory, Garrof, and Lloyd arrived at Frodlent airport immediately they saw a group of paparazzi snapping their cameras at a group of men and women in flashy clothes, each of them posing for the paparazzi while waving at the fans who were screaming their names.

Lory pulled the jacket hoodie and then put on sunglasses to avoid accidentally being photographed by reporters and paparazzi at that place.

"We go right here" Lloyd directed Lory and Garrof to a special lane for staff.

Lory was relieved that they didn't have to go through a sea of reporters and paparazzi. They took the aisle directed by security to go straight to the plane.

Once they entered the plane they were pointed out by the flight attendant who had already been on standby to the economy class, as expected. However, Lory was shocked when she saw Liam and his group also join the flight in economy class. It turned out that the group of hunters they employed beside them was Liam's group.

Liam and his group of girlfriends didn't notice Lory's presence as they were excited about being on the flight with a group of famous celebrities that's why they didn't notice when Lory passed them by, thought that to be expected because Lory was wearing hoodie and sunglasses to cover her face in addition she also wear quite thick makeup, therefore it wasn't strange, Angela, Liam and the other girls didn't recognize Lory in a glance.

Lory deliberately took a seat at the farthest back near the restroom to put some distance between her and Liam's groups or harem to be precise. And for a moment she had no one sitting next to her meanwhile, Lloyd and Garrof sat together on the seat across from her.

Unfortunately, Lory checked her cell phone to see if she could contact Zhao Li Xin.

Lory's heart sank into her stomach when she realized there was still no message successfully sent to Zhao Li Xin let alone received which meant there was still a problem with Zhao Li Xin's phone connection. A deep disappointment flashed across her face causing her grip on her cell phone tightened but what else she could do? Lory raised the window shades next to her then she cast her sight out the window feeling helpless and depressed.

shortly after, there's a clamorous sound came from the plane door it didn't take long before people started to enter the plane. Lory guessed they must be the members of the staff member of the artist she had seen before, some of them were escorted by the flight attendant to the VIP seat at the front of the plane.

Judging from their appearance they were supposed to be the artist and their managers even so Lory had little interest in them hence, she put on earbuds then turned on the music after that she closed her eyes to take some rest. Not long after, the pilot's voice was heard to say hello, then continued by explaining the weather today, including the length of the trip and what passengers could expect during the flight. After that, the sign to wear a seat belt lit up to remind the line to wear a seat belt. A moment later the plane started moving slowly before picking up speed soon after the plane started taking off.

After the plane became stable the seat belt sign finally went off and the flight attendants began serving drinks and snacks to passengers. Some people left their seats and headed for VIP class because the entire plane had been chartered for them therefore the flight attendant didn't stop them coming back and forth between VIP and Economy class.

Lory fell asleep instantly, she didn't realize how sleepy she was. Without Zhao Li Xin, her insomnia recurred it even got worse, Lory could barely sleep a wink last night so thankfully she was able to rest on the plane, alas, not for long just an hour later Lory woke from her sleep, she turned her head to seat next to her then realized that there was no one sitting next to her.

Lory guessed because she was sitting at the very back near the restroom so no one wanted to sit in her seat even though the distance between her seat and his was far. the toilet wasn't too close because this plane was big enough ingot more seats than a normal airplane thus Lory could have two seats for her own.

Lory brushed her hands on her sunglasses, in second her sunglasses lens became clear like reading glasses, Lory also added some spells on it that work to reveal any hidden charms and spells from the people including the shapeshifter spell

Soon Lory found some lazy people who used shapeshitter spells to change some parts of their faces although it was understandable as the makeup would take hours not to mention the skills to change the face while plastic surgery would change their faces permanently and some people didn't want to change face permanently.

Garrof suddenly takes a seat next to her "How are you Pri..uhm, Raven?" he quickly corrects himself.

Lory took off the earbuds from her ear and then put them back in their place while saying: "Fine I guess"

"Fine is good" Garrof gives thoughtful nods "We need to stay with them for three days after that we can continue our business" Garrof speaks in a cryptic way to avoid anyone who might listen to their conversation.

Lory understood what he meant, "Do we have someone to help us sightseeing?"

Garrof's smile widened, it was so much easier to speak with a smart girl like Lory, sometimes he felt like he speaking with experienced soldiers than royal family, he wondered how Lory was trained, "Yeah, I have an old friend showing us around, don't worry, I got everything ready!"

Lory didn't doubt Garrof's ability at all, hence she gave a slight nod. All of a sudden they were startled by a loud shout.

"Wats'up everyone, I know you are all boring right now sooo, let's get the party started!" A man with a bright pink fur coat wearing a tall hat like a magician if not weir enough the man also wore diamond shape sunglasses, the man then suddenly splashed the champagne bottle on the people after that loud music reverberated from the airplane sound system and everyone started to dance.

The drunk man not only danced he also started to inappropriately touch the girls that danced with him he also made some of the girls drink with him regardless if they agreed or not, the man kept forcing them to drink, what was surprising was that no one bothered to stop his behavior or remind the drunk man instead they all cheered and laughed along with him including the girls although it was unclear whether the girls were actually comfortable with the situation or not.

Since the girls didn't complain or say anything but instead joined the fun, they drank, danced, and did tasteless things with each other without care, therefore, Lory had no reason to interfere where she would only be blamed even by the girls, therefore Lory remained still while watching them curiously.

"Do all celebrities behave like that?" Lory didn't know much about celebrities other than what she heard from gossip and rumors just like any other people.

Garrof sneers "I think they got worse after the war ended, but just to be fair there's a lot of people like that" Garrof's eyes darkened as memories of the past appeared before him. When the world was enveloped the world in eternal darkness everything turned from bad to worse when parasitic beasts started attacking ordinary animals turning them into demonic beasts that felt no fear or sadness. They all led by Nazareth began to terrorize humanity, turning the world into complete chaos.

Garrof thought he had seen the worst, but never in a million years would he have thought this was all just the beginning. Soon all the world's capital cities began to crumble then plants withered without sunlight for a long time, afterward it didn't take long for livestock to die, and inevitably so did humans.

As everyone becomes starved, wounded, and scared, desperation takes over everyone's hearts thus people start using any means to survive, which causes many of them to choose to rob, kill, and terrorize other people some of them even the worst to get what they wanted.

At that time, many people threw their morals and conscience out of the window, the only place that still held law and order was L'Markieth, while the other places were barely able to maintain the situation.

After the war ended, many people were still used to the lawless life of the past, perhaps due to post-traumatic syndrome or some other type of mental illness caused by what happened during the war, causing more and more unhinged people after the war.
