Apotheosis

The pig-faced monsters shuddered at the mere thought of the thing they dreaded the most: Zen would aim at the holy tomb.

His question rang repeatedly in their heads, which made them tremble profusely in fear.

Despite that, they still had the gall to curse fiercely at Zen.

"Move your dirty hand away!"

"How dare you, a dirty human, touch Master Teague's holy tomb!"

"Go to hell!" they all shouted.

Meanwhile, their noises caused the other pig-faced monsters to come out of the caves as well.

Elvinia looked at Zen solemnly. "Those pig-faced monsters are besieging us again," she reminded him.

"Leave them alone," Zen replied expressionlessly.

They could leave the Other Shore at any time anyway. Moreover, the creatures from the Dark Region couldn't get inside, which meant that he could try anything he liked.

He turned a deaf ear to the pig-faced monsters' cries and carelessly walked around the holy tomb. Finally, he stopped in front of it and bowed down.

This action surprised Elvinia as she didn't know what Zen meant. Still, the act had now excited those pig-faced monsters.

"He's finally enlightened. He's going to submit to our Master Teague!"

"Even if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness, we can only let you die-- but it is not so painful!"

"Since you have thought through this, you can step out now!"

After Zen was done bowing, he stood up and smiled at the pig-faced monsters. He then suddenly jumped up to the tomb and dug it out with his hands!

He knew that the only way to leave the place was to look for the answer that lay inside the tomb.

He bowed to the tomb because of his moral. Whether the purified being was dead or not, it was indeed disrespectful to dig a tomb.

Those ferocious pig-faced monsters were dumbfounded.

They never thought that Zen would actually be so bold to dig the tomb!

"Stop!"

"Please!"

"No… we are so sorry, Master Teague…"

The pig-faced monsters could only cry out in despair when they realized that threatening Zen didn't work. In fact, it just irritated him. Thus, some of them began to plead with him to stop.

However, Zen knew that the pig-faced monsters were never to be trusted, so he completely ignored them.

"Swish..."

He tossed away the mass

violent storm. Yet, the divine flames of the Sun Crow race still wasn't enough to render considerable damage to them.

"Right after we got back here... We are in danger…"

Despair racked Elvinia's body, and she was close to giving up…

Suddenly, a beam of light glittered brightly once again.

Even if the giant stone did temporarily block the light, the light also tarnished it because it was an object of the Dark Region. In just a few seconds, the light had pierced through the giant stone.

"Buzz..."

The bright light shone on Elvinia again.

Before the pig-faced monsters around her could scream, the light beam had melted their bodies away, filling the air with a pungent smell.

The light won a little bit of time for Elvinia to breath. Her face however, changed dramatically when she saw the tentacles lift a number of giant stones.

She would never have a chance to escape once the stones completely covered the light!

Without hesitation, she quickly jumped into the cave beneath the tomb.

The situation outside the cave was extremely critical, and the same could be said for inside of it.

A small white shadow floated in front of Zen. It didn't contain very strong energy, but it seemed that it posed a great threat to him.

It turned out that this white shadow was the force that pulled him down just now!

At that point, his face twisted in horror when he realized that the white shadow had targeted Elvinia.

"Watch out!" he screamed when seeing Elvinia jumping down.
