Chapter 567 Saving Team Calis



Chapter 567 Saving Team Calis

"Keng?!?" Lily called out to the shifting Fox Spirit above her. "You're here?!?" The star lit constellation tails billowed around Keng as he landed in front of Lily. Aliza and Cayi swam downwards after him, both of them holding each other's hands as they realized what just had happened. "I thought we'd be lost forever!" Lily's eyes shook. She was practically crying in front of Keng but because of the water, it was impossible to even produce tears.

"Watch out!" Calis shouted. Electrified tentacles flew straight past Calis, aimed for Keng and Lily. Lily began to shout when the water shifted around them. A barrier of water and night sky flew up around them, blocking the attack. The night sky cracked, breaking in seconds as a familiar mark appeared on Lily's hand.

"I'll be back." Keng glanced at spot on the wall behind the Ferals. The silver mark grew on the wall, disappearing as Keng vanished from his spot. Lily's eyes immediately looked for Keng, watching him appear on the wall. He launched himself into the crowd, whipping out Hydrosphere. The blades lit up in silver and gold energy as he plunged into the crowd of Ferals.

The daggers plunged into the first Feral as the others turned. Keng pulled the right dagger out, watching it grow in size as he slashed at the Ferals to his right. The Ferals lit up in fury, flying straight into Keng. They clumped up at him while Calis plunged a shadowy sword into a Feral.

"Keng!" Lily shouted. The enforced water barrier shook as more tentacles slammed against it.

"Argh." Calis jumped backwards towards Aliza and Cayi. Aliza held a couple of Ferals off as Cayi whacked any tentacles that managed to pass Aliza. "Is Rya and Vizo with you?"

"No!" Cayi answered. He twisted his body, floating sideways as a tentacles flew past him, slamming into the barrier. Cayi's hand lit up and grabbed the tentacle. His eyes shimmered as the tentacle reeled him towards his enemy.

"Cayi!" Aliza shouted. She watched the young healer fly into the group. His staff shimmered with energy as he released his grip from the tentacle and bonked the staff at the Feral. The Feral exploded into pieces as the others flew in every direction.

"When did he do that?" Trenni asked.

"It's just you three then?" Calis asked.

"Yes. Leader Rya made us come alone since they couldn't get through the small tunnel." Aliza answered. She slashed a tentacle with her sword as Cayi swam back to them. Calis glanced at the orb of water protecting Lily. She seemed to have her eyes on the other Savior. Calis had been briefed with the two in the room and understood who he was.

Savior Keng seemed well-verse in combat. After the Ferals toppled him, he exploded the Ferals backwards, killing a couple as he quickly moved to melee combat. Silver marks appeared all around him as he darted around the battlefield. He would slash and take advantage of the tempo and then suddenly pull back to a safe spot when his tempo might be interrupted.

"He's a great fighter." Calis commented.

"Help!" Trenni shouted. Calis flicked his left index and middle finger towards Trennit. Shadows fired out between Cali, Aliza, and Cayi, instantly killing the Ferals. "Have you seen him fight like that? You must've right?" Cayi turned to look at Aliza.

"We didn't get to see much of it. We got split and by the time I sensed him, there was the horrible energy of a Ywi with him." Aliza replied.

"Keng!" Lily shouted. The shadows moved, revealing a female Feral who managed to slash at Keng. Keng grunted in pain as the Ferals rushed at him. The female Feral giggled and whispered something in his ear.

[You've been afflicted with paralyzation.]

Calis let out a grin, revealing his perfect teeth as the shadows swallowed him. Calis appeared right above Keng and the female Feral, letting a barrage of shadow tendrils down. The female Feral glanced up, shifting into nothing as the other Ferals were all killed.

"You alright, Savior?" Calis asked, landing next to Keng. Calis sniffed the water. His head turned and moved towards Keng, sniffing him. "You aren't." A watery portal opened and Calis plucked a small potion out. "Drink this."

The potion tasted bitter as Keng was fed the drink. He could feel his body starting to unfreeze when the shriek of the female Feral caught his attention. The space fifteen in front of them opened up, revealing the Feral as she launched at them.

"Hold on." Calis moved his hand away, leaving a shadow hand behind to feed Keng as he flew forward. A shadowy glaive appeared in his hands as he swept it to the left. The female Feral continued to move forward as Calis finished his slash. She stumbled a couple inches forward, head splitting  and floating upwards.

[Paralyzation has been cured with Paralyzation Heal Potion.]

[Cure effects have been added to the Savior Job.]

Keng let out a sigh of relief as Lily shouted for him. "Keng! Are you okay?!? Let me out!" Lily slammed her hand against the water barrier. He flicked his fingers at it and watched it disappear. Lily bolted at him and wrapped her hands around his waist as her face went into his side.

"I thought I wouldn't get to see anyone again!" Lily cried. She buried her face further into his side causing some discomfort. Keng wrapped an arm around her and patted her back.

"You're alright now." Keng told her. She said something that he couldn't quite capture as Aliza, Trenni and Cayi finished up with their Ferals. Lily let out pent up sobs. "You're alright now." Keng patted her.

"I really hoped to get her sooner." Calis sighed. He popped into view, drawing Keng's attention. He seemed gloomy about the ordeal. "The earthquake took us by surprise and the Ferals… They were too brave." Keng turned and  rubbed Lily's back as she cried.

"It was that bad?" Keng asked. Calis nodded at his question.

"We lost almost all of our energy roe, too. That Sea serpent couldn't get us because Freppie was able to trap it with the trap already set." Calis sighed. "How'd you pass that?"

"Rya and a lot of explosions." Keng answered. Aliza, Trenni and Cayi swam over, glancing over at Lily and Keng. Lily pulled away, wiping her eyes out of habit and looking at Keng.

"I saw something too…" Lily hiccuped a sob.

"What did you see?" Keng asked.

"Something shiny."

"In here?" Keng followed up with another question. Lily nodded.

"It's probably too far gone now." Lily told him. A set of chimes and flutes went off, drawing Keng's attention upwards. "What?"

"There's a lot of energy here. Why?" Keng asked.

"I was about to ask that question." Trenni raised her hand. "It's extremely dense with energy. Isn't that a bad sign, Cap'n?" Aliza and CAyi both followed Trenni's lead and looked over at Calis. Calis glanced around, clearly able to see it.

"It smells like something's either rotting or really fragrant." Calis rubbed his nose.

"You can smell energies?" Keng asked.

"Yup. You can hear them?"

"Hear, see, and taste it." Keng replied. "It kinda reminds me of that sweet drink we had before we came here, Lily." He looked at the pink girl, who nodded.

"What now?" Aliza asked. "Should we go back? I should report this to Rya."

"Report first." Calis told her. "We've been on the swim for awhile. Rest." Calis looked over at Lily. "Especially you, young Savior. You've been constantly running and using your energy. I'm surprised you haven't passed out yet." Keng could see the exhaustion on her face coming through. It was apparent to him that she was trying her best to look like she was okay, but she was struggling hard.

Keng grabbed her and helped her sit down.

"I-I'm fine…" Lily brushed them off.

"No you're not." Keng knelt down and opened the Void Storage. He plucked a energy roe out and handed it to her. "Eat it." Lily shook her head and he forced it into her hand and pushed her hand to her mouth. "Eat it. It's good for you. It'll push the energy exhaustion away."

Lily sighed and ate it. She scrunched her face up and chewed on it for awhile before swallowing it. Her face grew a little less tired, but the physical exhausation was taking its toll on her.

"Yes, ma'am." Aliza spoke. "We've found them and are resting. The young Savior is exhausted. I think we'll stay here for a bit before figuring out what's next."

"Can I talk to Leader Calis?" Rya asked. Aliza swam over to Calis and handed the conch over.

"Calis, speaking." Calis answered, taking the conch.

"Calis." Rya's voice lightened up. "Is everything alright? Are any of you hurt?"

"A little worse for wear but it sin't anything we can't handle. The young Savior is physically and energy exhausted. Savior Keng gave her some energy roe, so she should be fine after a short rest."

"Mmm, okay." Rya answered. "What's next? Finding your way back? Vizo and I have been wandering around and we've come across something strange."

"Is it the firefly?" Lily asked, eyes lighting up.

"The firefly?" Keng whispered, looking back at Calis.
