"Buddy, your life is worth much more than that thing to you. But for us on the other hand, killing you or not makes no difference because all what we want is just that thing," said Prince Neal in a smiling tone, without a hint of rage in response to Soar's words.
"Ha-ha, but if I had to guess, the moment that thing leaves me, I will have to die," Soar replied, laughing.
"So since I am going to die sooner or later, I've decided to take something away from you. Let you feel what losing feels like."
As soon as he finished his sentence, he transfigured into a human form. He suddenly tore apart space and jumped into the Black Wind Abyss. Before Prince Neal and his companions could react, Soar leapt into the abyss.
Prince Neal's face fell as he realized what had just happened, while the other five were simply taken off-guard and left dumbstruck, not knowing how to react. How could they have been so careless enough to think that it would be that easy, that Soar would not give them any chance?
"Damn it all to hell!" said Prince Neal, cursing Soar in a hoarse scream, looking into the distance as he slipped from his grasp. He was so close.
"What should we do now, Prince Neal?" Elder Carlos asked, standing beside him.
"What else can we possibly do? We obviously can't enter the Black Wind Abyss. Let's just go back and inform my father of what transpired here," said Prince Neal coldly.
"Fortunately, there is a copy of that thing in our hand. Otherwise, I would not be able to answer to my father without him giving me a hard time about it."
"Prince Neal, it's all our fault, not yours. Please punish us!" said the four men in unison, fully comprehending the consequences the prince would have to face.
"This has nothing to do with you. Who would have thought that bastard would jump into the Black Wind Abyss, even without giving us the chance to talk to him?" said Prince Neal, waving his hand dismissively.
Prince Neal was a generous man with a broad view on the world. He was wise enough to comprehend the situation without prejudice. Since he couldn't take back anything from Soar, he couldn't blame his fellows either. He knew it was better to keep his rage contained to his own heart, such that he might win over the hearts of these four men.
As he expected, the four men no longer looked scared. Instead, they obviously began to pay obeisance to Prince Neal.
"By the way, the bastard goes by the name 'Soar, ' right?" Prince Neal asked coldly.
"Yes, Prince Neal."
"Since he is a creature from the continent, I believe he must have come here with some friends. Find his friends and make them pay in his place," commanded Prince Neal.
"We understand, Prince Neal. We shall do whatever you ask of us!"
"Let's go!" commanded Prince Neal in a voice.
As for Soar, they thought that he would be dead sooner rather than later. It was their opinion that any living creature that made the mistake of entering the Black Wind Abyss would be trapped in its confines, even if it were the strongest Void Beast in the Heavenly Void.
However, things didn't go on as they expected at all.
"Ricky, you made it just in time. I love you so much!" Soar said seriously and excitedly. In the Massacring Zone, he looked at Ricky the way a lascivious man would look at a beautiful naked woman.
When Prince Neal and Elder Carlos arrived, Ricky had also come to Soar's rescue. He didn't waste a minute and telepathically told Soar to enter the Black Wind Abyss. From there he would take Soar into the Massacring Zone.
If not for Ricky, he would not have been brave enough to jump fearlessly into the Black Wind Abyss. It was not something he would have even considered.
"Fuck off!" Ricky blurted out after hearing Soar's expression of unconditional love.
"Get some rest first, then you can tell me exactly what happened to you. I wonder why the Great Wisteria Dynasty would dispatch six completed spiritual kings just to chase and kill you!"
