Chapter 408: Mirri Part One


    Alicia and her group arrived at a familiar dark cave from many years back. "The temperature between outside and inside is huge." Sta said as the group entered the cave.


    "Well, it is to be expected. The sun does not reach here. Although it is cooler, the humidity is also higher. If we did not have cultivations of any kind we would be sweating more than you think." Alicia exined.


    "Thank god I hate being sticky and sweaty." Roseined.


    "Anyway let''s go, the entrance is deeper inside." Alicia said. She did not want to hang around in the dark. The gloomy surroundings were never fun to be in.


    The group walked in until they found the hole in the ground that led to the tunnels below. It now had adder that led down but Alicia and her group still jumped down since it was quicker. The tunnels were now lit up properly down below. They did not put any lighting in the main cave in order to keep the ce hidden from others. Even the drop down point only had its natural lighting. It was a little way down where the lights installed.


    The statue was also ced back over the entrance that led down to the city. Alicia waved her hand moving it to the side.They climbed down like normal and exited into the city. "Is it just me nor does the air here feel eerie?" Annelia said as she hugged herself. She felt a weird air within the city.


    "No, this is." Alicia also felt something about the air but she couldn''t ce her finger on it.


    "Isn''t this Chaos qi?" ke suddenly said.


    "Now that you mention it, yeah it is Just very thin. But the air feels hot as well..." Alicia could feel the hotness in the air.


    "You have finallye" A female voice suddenly filled Alicia''s mind.


    "Huh? Who are you?" Alicia asked out loud, causing everyone to turn and look at her.


    "Alicia?" ke looked at Alicia concerned.


    Alicia raised her hand and motioned that everything was alright. She then heard the voice in her head again. "I have waited many years for this seal to be broken..."


    Not really getting the answer she wanted but hearing the words seal, Alicia had an idea of who was calling out to her. "You all explore the city. I will be right back."


    "Is it the spirit?" Loeri asked. She could also hear the voice due to her connection with Alicia.


    "Yeah, I believe so. Everything will be fine. I just want to talk to this spirit..." Alicia had a feeling bringing others with her would make the spirit anxious. She did not want to cause any idents just in case the spirit was very powerful. It was not that she was judging the strength of everyone but that she was worried that this spirit was stronger than it appeared.


    "Okay, we will wait." ke said nodding his head, he had faith in her decisions. Everyone else worried about Alicia''s safety and wanted to go but decided to not say anything, after hearing ke.


    Alicia''s body flickered as she disappeared from where she stood. She reappeared at the entrance to the tunnel leading towards the next city. She walked down the dimly lit tunnel until she came to the halfway point. To her left was a blue barrier that epassed a small area that had arge one-story building within. The air where she stood was extremely hot.


    "You are here..." A voice entered Alicia''s mind.


    "Mmm Can you show yourself to me?" Alicia asked out loud.


    A tall slender female figure appeared in front of Alicia on the other side of the barrier. She had a long white one-piece dress and fiery red hair that draped down to her waist. Her skin was white as snow which contrasted with her burning red eyes. Alicia was taken aback. She was definitely a beauty. She almost looked human if not for the fact that her eyes were slightlyrger and had no pupils to them. They seemed more like gemstones than eyes.


    "My name is Alicia, I see that the darkness around you has disappeared." Alicia greeted the spirit in front of her with a smile.


    "I have no name" The spirit replied as it lowered its head slightly. The expression on her face looked a little sad which made Alicia feel pity for it.


    "Then what aboutthe name Mirri?" Alicia asked as she waved her hand causing the barrier between the two to disappear. A st of scalding air blew past Alicia''s face.


    Alicia''s actions stunned the spirit causing her to look at Alicia with a stunned expression. "Are you not afraid that I will attack you? I was once an entity you people called the darkness..."


    "Mmmm Mirri doesn''t seem all that hostile. Plus even if that was the case and you did attack me it would just mean the two of us would have to fight. But I can tell that you, Mirri, are not going to do such a thing. I know you wished to leave this ce. I am granting you your freedom. You can go out on your own or you cane with me, which do you wish to do?" Alicia was not going to force the spirit to follow her. It was an intelligent life form. She could also tell that it was very powerful as well, so she was not worried that if the spirit did decide to go out on her that the spirit would be in any danger.


    "My name is Mirri" Mirri suddenly said She continued to repeat the name over and over. After a few moments Mirri suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed her finger at Alicia. A thin red light shot out of her finger and pierced into the spot between Alicia''s brow.
