Millennium Tension

Chapter 80: Axel's Bad Feeling

The reconnaissance unit that was diving deep into the lake finally reached the bottom and Aizen tried to thoroughly search the unit's sonar to find out what was strange about the lake.

'A cube? Aizen focused on the dark luminous energy cube at the very center of the bottom of the lake.

Then he takes control of the unit to take the cube and bring it to the surface.

'Ana, can you go to the shore of the lake and put that energy cube into [Space Storage]?' Aizen orders as the unit draw near to the shore.

'Sure.'

Ana happily drew closer to the edge of the lake which was a little away from the six girls who were gathered before crouching down and putting the reconnaissance unit together with the energy cube back into the [Space Storage] without the cultivator girls noticing.

After that, she returned to Aizen and Axel's side with a curious face.

'That energy cube looks great. What can it do?'

'We'll check it out soon.'

Aizen turned away from the gaze of the girls who were still somewhat marginalized in their drama before taking out the energy cube to research it.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel try to scan the bluish-black energy cube that is in Aizen's hand with their respective methods.

This cube contained an enormous amount of energy which could be converted into [Axel Energy] with the same amount as a quarter of their current reserve energy in [Axel Goddess].

Apart from that, it seems that there is a law from this cube that makes this lake water strange, all inanimate objects that do not contain any energy will be scorched if they come in contact with this cube.

Meanwhile, the lake water is strange because it has long been contaminated by the energy from this energy cube.

'Then what keeps us from flying?' Ana asked after scanning the energy cube.

'I have no idea, even here we can't use any flight techniques. We will always be pulled down no matter what.' Aizen answered while examining the ground they were on.

'Maybe someone who designed this place has installed that law, it's only us who don't know yet. We need to explore even deeper into the center of the ruins to find out more.' Axel expressed her opinion.

'Very well, after the girls are done we will explore further.'

Aizen put the precious energy cube back into the [Space Storage] before looking around and seeing several passageways of the cave leading in different directions, where it branched off once again. He sighed with the intention of asking Lin Yu for the path they were going to explore first.

Shortly after that, there was a slight earthquake followed by the gurgling of the lake rippling uneasily as if something was about to appear.

*Splash*

*Roar!*

A gigantic monster suddenly appeared from the lake and roared loudly for its finally emerging freedom. A jet black monster shaped like a leviathan stared at the horde of small creatures on the shore with its creepy eyes.

The six girls who felt better after Feng Zhi calmed down were immediately shocked by the arrival of a terrifying monster from the middle of the lake. They were afraid just because they were staring at it, a gigantic monster whose strength they could not measure.

"!!!"

"!!!"

All of them seemed to agree to run and take cover behind Aizen's group without screaming again. For some reason, they felt that the group of three they currently joined could be relied upon under any circumstances even though the six of them knew almost nothing about Aizen and his two girls.

'Setting up a heavyweight beam cannon. Target locked. Fire!'

Axel muttered in her mind in her robot-like passive mode before she opened the dimensional gap for the heavyweight energy beam from [Axel Goddess] to do a surprise attack on a monster that suddenly appeared from the lake before closing the dimensional gap again.

*Boom!*

Instantly, a beam of energy shot towards the monster's head and exploded mercilessly and scorched the monster's head without a trace.

The monstrous beast didn't even have time to roar or put up a fight after its brief freedom until it finally lost its head and died helplessly.

Then, the body of the monster that lost its head fell back and sank into the lake. The monster's purple blood splattered in the middle of the lake which slowly changed the color of the turquoise lake water to a purple mixture.

A [Rank 8] monster ended tragically with just a shot from the heavyweight side cannon of the [Axel Goddess].

The six girls who were taking cover behind Aizen's group, they only saw a burst of energy appear from a gap from nowhere and obliterated the giant monster's head in an instant.

The battle they thought would be extremely difficult and tense ended in the blink of an eye. They stare in awe at Aizen and the two girls whom they have just learned of their names in a different light.

'Axel, you're in a bad mood all of a sudden, what's wrong?'

Aizen gently asked Axel who had just launched a lethal blow on a monster that had yet to show its fangs.

'Master Aizen, somehow my gut feeling uncomfortable...' Axel stretched out his hand and grasped Aizen's hand tightly.

'...' Aizen did not reply and only grasped Axel's hand tightly in return.

Although similar but not the same as Lin Yu's innate ability which helps her to make decisions, Aizen knows that Axel has an intuition ability to predict the future even though it is not always accurate and just a harsh hunch, but there is always a basis that supports this factor.

'We're together, and we'll be fine, That's for sure.' Ana joined in to comfort Axel while grabbing her hand and holding it tightly.

'Un.' Axel nodded slightly while hoping that all would be well, even if the world would be destroyed at least let the three of them survive at the end of the story.

Axel has come this far to join her little family and she will not let anything bad happen to this little family, no matter what.

Unfortunately, that bad feeling will not befall her little family but will come to the planet they are visiting at this time.

The conversation of the three of them could not be known by the six girls behind them. What they saw was Axel being held by Aizen and Ana's hand for no reason after the monster fell and polluted the strange lake water.
