Spirit Immortal

”Bingbing! Help us please!”

”*Yip!* *Yip!*.”

Acknowledging her Masterʼs plea, the snowy white gerbil hopped off Shinʼs shoulders and happily squeaked. As she was gathering mana, Bingbing emitted a cold, pale aura that instantly chilled the surroundings. Opening her large adorable eyes, Bingbing instantaneously enlarged to over a hundred times her original size, giving enough room for the entire group to hop on.

”Wow! Bingbing you can even do this?!”

Shin was utterly flabbergasted. Just how many more mysteries could he uncover about the gerbil who was always by his side?

”*Yip!* *Yip!*.”

Ecstatic that Shin had praised her, Bingbing rapidly wagged her tail. When she was a small critter, all that did was tickle the palms of the black-haired youth. However, now that she was larger than the average elephant, her happiness would shake the earth and send dust clouds flying about.

”Come on, everyone hop on!”

Not wanting to waste any more time, Lady Seph personally dragged the members of the expedition onto Bingbingʼs back. Moving at the fastest speeds that she could reach, the enlargened gerbil ferried the group straight back to Aldrichʼs Keep. Well, what remained of it.

”N-N-No way!”

The fields surrounding the Keep had been utterly wiped clean as a sea of flames took its place. Bits of brick came crumbling down from the top of the fort as cracks formed all over the once solid walls. And the most shocking of all, the black meteorite that had been present since the inception of the fort, had gone missing, alongside the general quarters that lay on top of it.

”Donʼt tell me, in that one hit, that beam took down the Guardian Rock that stood for aeons?!”

Lady Seph could not hide her agitation and shouted out. Having interacted with the mystical object before, she could tell how sturdy that rock was. For it to have been wiped clean in one single hit was absolutely ludicrous. As for General Anmac, she wasnʼt that worried about that old cockroach. The seasoned warrior always found a way to rise from the ashes. Closing her eyes, Lady Seph maximised her sensory abilities to its absolute limit so that she could identify the scale of which the attack had caused to the soldiers of the Keep. Her ears twitching ever so slightly, she could hear the groans of pain by the injured and the cries for help from the stranded. Wearing a bitter frown, the beautiful woman turned to look at her disciple as she said:

”Shin, I hope youʼre mentally prepared… Itʼs going to get busy from here on out...”
