Origin Lust Sword System

Chapter 60 Dimension Heart Zone

Rita was apprehensive the moment she heard about the background of these azure soul winds.

Cyrus finally said after thinking about something, "If you want, you can stay here and protect this elevator. These azure soul winds might not be the only obstacle that awaits us."

Rita instantly shook her head, "No! I want to go with you. This elevator would not be in danger as long as we clear the area ahead. So, don't make me stay here just because you think I'm afraid." She solemnly stated.

Cyrus glanced at her fierce expression, and his lips curled up before he nodded, "Alright, just stay close to me. Let's go."

"Tsk…" Eve's annoying snort sounded.

As they both walked in the dark passage, there was no light there, as if any source of light was absorbed by the azure winds, unlike the murky winds on the surface.

However, Eve could still see clearly, even clearer than Cyrus. She couldn't help but comment at this moment, "This passage is made with white marble; how beautiful. I wonder what this was made for."

Cyrus was also curious about what this place was about. Just that hidden elevator was a clue that there was a secret hidden in place even before this dimension was formed.

As they moved forward, the azure winds were getting more violent, Cyrus was fine, but Rita was feeling as if she was walking in the winter breeze while wearing summer clothes. Even with the soul bliss spell's protection, she was using her Yin Qi to counter the cold with cold.

"We are reaching the end!" Eve's ecstatic voice rang in Cyrus's mind.

Cyrus was instantly vigilant, "Stay close. We are approaching the end of this passage." He sternly warned Rita.

Rita was also solemn as she closely followed Cyrus while circulating her Qi. She was prepared to cast a spell at any given moment.

However, before they could reach the end of the passage, it was like their presence had been noticed by something as the calm azure winds started to stir and suddenly started drifting in their opposite direction.

They started to become stronger and stronger, and the pushing force also started to rise as just taking a single step was becoming more and more difficult.

"You think you can stop me with mere winds? Dream on!" Cyrus snorted as his hand shimmered in black light before he cast a golden-grade spell, "Great Yin Protection!"

The next moment, a translucent black barrier starts to form in front of Cyrus and Rita like a shield.

The moment this barrier appeared, the azure winds completely lost their force, and they started to repel around the barrier.

Rita was astonished as she looked at the black barrier, "A yin spell." Her eyes were filled with wonderment and longing.

"You can't learn this spell unless you're a Soul Void realm cultivator." He instantly burst her bubble since the Great Yin Protection was not like regular element spells.

Just the Qi required to cast this spell was enough to dry even a soul-void realm cultivator. Cyrus was taking advantage of the ascension-grade potency of his nebulas Qi. Or he can't cast even a single true golden grade spell, much less multiple of them.

Although Rita felt regretful, she still had not lost her motives as she knew as long as she became stronger, the soul-void realm was not far from her.

As the azure winds become useless against them, they finally reach the end of the passage.

Eve quickly reported her finding, "T-this, Cyrus, we are in a vast hall, and there are all kinds of strange gibberish lines around the white walls, and they are all twinkling like stars.

"Furthermore, in the center of this hall is a crimson column, and above it is a small black diamond. Both the diamond and the column are filled with the same black lines. A-and…"

Her voice suddenly came to a halt as if she was startled, "And what?" Cyrus quickly asked as he suddenly felt something was amiss.

Because the azure winds suddenly stopped pushing them and instated their entire direction changed, and it was the same direction in which Eve was telling him where the crimson column was.

However, before Eve could reply, Cyrus heard the system's unexpected notification.

_____

[User has discovered the Dimension Heart Zone!]

Eve also replied at this moment with a horrid tone, "There is a crystalline crimson cocoon attached to the crimson column. It was completely motionless when we walked in. But all of a sudden, the black lines suddenly started to shine blackly before those winds started to pour right into that crimson cocoon, and now it is cracking!"

"It should be the dimension guardian, right system?" He asked the system since he could now guess this after that abrupt notification.

"[Yes. A dimension heart zone is where the dimension core and the guardian reside.]"

The system replied in its usual static tone, and this time this reply rang in both Eve's and Cyrus's heads.

"It seemed I was right to investigate the strange undulation." Cyrus was ecstatic about this discovery before his eyes shone with killing intent.

He said out aloud, "Rita, you stay here. I need to kill this guardian by myself!"

"Be careful." Rita nodded with a hint of worry. But she knew she couldn't interfere in this fight.

Cyrus merely smiled in acknowledgment before a ruthless glint flashed past his eyes, "This guy's strength should be around tier-27 to tier-28 if I compared to those minions outside. The dimension is still in its second evolution phase, so this could only mean I had disrupted the guardian's evolution by reaching here, and now it wanted to come out ahead of time. I probably hadn't thought that I could get rid of that illusion array so swiftly. What do you think, Eve? Should we kill it right before he's born, or should we kill it after he's born?"

"Just kill it!" Eve replied without even thinking.

Cyrus's lips curled up in a cruel smile, "That's right, always nib the problem in its budding phase. Don't underestimate our enemy, even if you're a God!"

With that small lecture, he moved toward the crimson column. He didn't need Eve's direction since a small vortex had been formed by the huge amount of soul wind getting absorbed by the guardian cocoon.

No matter how much intelligence the dimension core had, it had never been predicted that a being like Cyrus had been pulled into this newly formed dimension.

It seemed to sense Cyrus's approach as the cocoon started to tremble violently, creating strange undulations.

"Too slow!" Cyrus snorted before he started to perform the Hymn of Awakening.

There was an invisible force around the gathering soul winds, which were instantly torn apart by his first move. The suction force suddenly turned to repel force as it wanted to push Cyrus away from the cocoon.

But Cyrus's Hymn of Awakening had never been disrupted before once it started, especially since the time he had started using it with Sword Nebula.

The repelling force was also cut apart by the second strike like a thin membrane. By the time Cyrus performed the third move, he was already upon the crimson cocoon, which was now filled with cracks as if it was on the verge of bursting.

But alas, it was still not fast enough as Cyrus's sword suddenly shone in black sheen, creating a whistling sound before it touched the cocoon. Like a hot knife in butter, it flashed past it, leaving a black streak behind.

The dark streak even flashed past the crimson column behind.

"You used the sword nebulas at the third strike. Not bad." Eve giggled with ecstasy.

Cyrus was about to perform the fourth strike when he felt all the force of his blade dispersed, and it was as if he had lost the urge to strike again and battle. It was extremely uncomfortable, so his blade stopped. It was really a strange feeling, but before he could mull over it system's notification rang.

Cyrus's eyes lit up when he saw the end of the notification.

At this moment, the crimson cocoon started to dissipate into particles, and a menacing figure appeared behind the shell. It has a body of crimson skeleton while its face were extremely sister. Three pitch-black human faces without eyeballs were attached side by side. One was smiling, one was sad, and the other was emotionless.

Those three faces had their own features as two of them were of old men while the last one in the center was of a middle-aged man.

As they started to disintegrate, Cyrus felt as if the three looked at him in unison, but he couldn't tell if it was just imagination since they had no eyes.

But he didn't have time to think about it since the column attached to the cocoon also started to crumble, and an earthquake occurred right after!
