-Vol 4: To The North Pole!-
-Lyda wrecked(2): An untimely intervention-
Arrow of purification contained the concept of purification, but the rotating blue arrow was the exact opposite to it. Although it was also a conceptually created arrow, its function differs fundamentally from the orange one. The rotating blue arrow was formed from the idea of penetrating everything. It was made to pierce everything no matter the obstruction. To form two fundamentally different concepts at the same time requires some high-level skill that which Mrs Adams possessed.
The snake had no idea of its impending doom, it was too much in pain to care about anything. Although it had thick skin with very few nerves, its eye was extremely weak. The nerves surrounding them were also very sensitive, even more, sensitive than it’s soft spot below its belly. Even a little speck of dust was able to cause it unbearable pain, let alone something that penetrated through them.
Behind the snake, a meters away, Lyda was watching everything with an expression of a fish out of the water. She had never expected to eat a loss like this even after summoning her most powerful summon. Summoning the snake of such calibre was no easy feat for her, especially in her weakened state. She had thought that with both this woman and the snake being of the same level, with her snake’s underhand tricks, she would be able to find an opening to retreat.
Fight to win was never in her mind in the first place. She was someone who tries to understand her enemy best before deciding anything. Before finding enough about them, she would never fight. The first look from this woman was enough to make her understand that she was no match for her, fleeing was the only option left. But this lady was more powerful than expected. Not only she prevented her from escaping, but she had also caged her like an animal.
She was wounded, to begin with, and now the situation had deteriorated enough that her life was stake here. As of her situation right now, she really needs a miracle to leave unscathed.
But sometimes, bad guys also have miracles happen to them in worst situations.
Just before Mrs Adams could let loose her two arrows, the ground shook violently. Spider web cracks appeared all over the frozen floor as if it was made of glass and someone had thrown a stone onto them. Within a few seconds, the cracks transformed into fissures that shook the ground so violently that Mrs Adams had to cancel her arrows to avoid being affected by them.
“What's going on?” She couldn’t help but question at this unexpected phenomenon. It was very unexpected, but her instincts were telling her that something bad will happen. As a very powerful and experienced hunter, she was very mindful of her instincts. It was like a sixth sense to her, more than one time, her instincts had allowed her to avoid perilous situations.
It was because of this she cancelled her two arrows and jumped around to avoid fissures. And that decision was the correct one.

After a few seconds of the appearance of the fissures, a massive humanoid arm with black metallic lustre came out of the ground and surrounded Lyda and the mad snake. The hand was huge, approximately as big as a twenty storey building. It was pure black in colour that was shining the light as if made of metal.
The appearance was so sudden that it had caught both Mrs and Mr Adams off guard. They both started to take a few deep breaths to calm their hearts before becoming serious. Mrs Adams had also discretely deactivated her barrier allowing Mr Adams to come to her aid. But contrary to what they had expected, the hand didn’t attack them at all, it simply proceeded to grab the snake and Lyda before going back inside the fissure.
On the other hand, Lyda was extremely delighted at the appearance of the hand. She knew exactly whom this hand belonged to, as such, she was very relaxed. As the hand grabbed both her and the wounded snake, she took her time to glare towards the Adams couple.
“You two bitches, just wait. Sooner or later I will take revenge for this humiliation.” After speaking her mind, she then commanded the hand to quickly escape mentally. That’s right, this hand belonged to the same shapeshifting monster in her possession that she had sent to warn other officials of their organization.
After doing its job, when it returned to ist mistress, it saw her pitiful situation. But it was also an intelligent being as such it understood that if it appears suddenly, then it won't take the lady to lay waste to it within a few seconds. Hence it waited for the opportunity to save its mistress. Finally, the opportunity presented itself when the lady started to load another of her conceptual arrows. That five-second gap was enough for it to save its mistress.
To do that, it transformed into a giant arm and punched the frozen floor from below the ground level to shake it and cause a pseudo-earthquake. When the earthquake cause fissures, it immediately came out and grabbed its mistress and the wounded snake.
As the giant arm entered into the ground, Mrs and Mr Adams could only watch dumbly. Then a few seconds later realization dawned on them as their face contorted into anger. With a loud roar, Mr Adams brandished his sword. A blue aura rolled off him like a torrent of waves and swiped around everywhere. his aura was so powerful that it made everything around him to cave in from extreme pressure originated from an increased gravity.
After that, he thrust the sword face down into the ground all the way to its handle. Then suddenly the sword glowed in the same blue colour as his aura before the surrounding area started to shake violently, even more than when the giant arm had appeared. Fissured and cracks spread all around reducing the place into rubble, a mess of frozen ground and ice.
Deep below the ground level, Lyda and her cronies, who thought they were safe, experienced an unbearable pressure weighing down on them like a mountain. This pressure was so high that it even forced Lyda and the other two creatures to vomit blood from it as their internal organs were messed up really bad.
“Ah! Lady Lyda, whom did you mess with this time? They are too strong. Even more than that pedo-baldy.” The shape-shifting monster commented after wiping the blue blood from its mouth. Currently, it was in the shape of a Chinese dragon, allowing it to easily manoeuvre through the ground.
“Shut your trap, and move on. Quick, just move! I don’t care where but keep moving. These monsters are no normal humans.” Lyda sounded desperate but who can blame her? She had the bad luck to encounter two level 150 at the same time.
Today was really not her day. First, she ate loss at the hands of someone way weaker than her then just as she was about to get over it, she found the thing she was supposed to protect was probably destroyed by her own hands. Then before she could get over it, she was attacked by two insanely strong people and ate another loss. If the shapeshifting monster hadn’t returned at the right time, she would have died today.
