Chapter 540: A Sudden Accident. The Disappearance of Joelson!
“Wait…!”
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Godfrey seemed to have seen something. He opened his mouth wide in fear and shouted loudly to remind Joelson!
“No, be careful, Master!”
“What?”
Joelson did not feel any danger at all. He raised his head and asked curiously. In his heart, he thought that the danger was some kind of monster. He did not choose to use his eyes to look for traces of the monster. Instead, he chose to have a higher perception, a divine sense scan that was especially used to search for living things.
“No! Use your eyes to look. It’s below you!”
Godfrey shouted in despair.
“Huh?”
Joelson used his eyes to look down and finally found the location of that thing.
“Oh my god!”
Joelson finally saw the threat below him!
A high protruding ice surface. If he slid down at this speed…
Bang!
The protruding ice surface slammed into Joelson. The already exhausted Joelson was knocked into a daze by this powerful impact. Although he did not pass out due to his willpower, but… the magic energy output in his hand was instantly cut off!
In that instant, even if Joelson immediately recovered the magic energy output in his hand, the cut off of the magic energy in that instant was absolutely fatal to Joelson!
Joelson’s hand was empty and he fell off the cliff!
“No!”
Godfrey screamed in horror, released the magic energy in his hand, and jumped down with Joelson!
“There’s still a chance… There’s still a chance!”
Godfrey suddenly stretched out his hand toward Joelson, who had fallen down the cliff.
“Ah!”
Godfrey’s eyes widened as he saw his hand getting closer and closer to Joelson’s hand. Godfrey quickly used his other hand to hold onto the ice surface, while his other hand tried to reach out to Joelson’s hand.
“I’ve got you… Ah!”
Godfrey had clearly touched Joelson’s fingertip but he was just a little bit away. Godfrey and Joelson’s hands were less than 1mm apart, but it was like a natural chasm. No matter how he tried, he could not grab onto it. This 1mm became the furthest distance in the world.
“No…!”
Godfrey watched helplessly as Joelson’s figure disappeared into the wind and snow, disappearing into the bottom of the valley.
Bang!
A dull sound came from the bottom of the valley. Godfrey stared blankly at the white abyss, trying his best to find Joelson’s figure. However, a miracle did not happen. Joelson did not turn the situation around like in the TV series, smiling and waving at Godfrey to show that he was fine. The only thing that responded to his gaze was the white snow and the mournful sound of the wind.
“Damn it… Damn it!”
Godfrey angrily hammered the ice surface.
This place was already very close to the bottom of the cliff but there was still a distance that life could not bear.
Could it be… Could it be that his master was just…
Damn it!
When he thought of this, tears welled up in his eyes. Godfrey did not know how he would face Hades’s questions after going up, how he would respond to Hades’s anger…
If… If he had not said it in such a hurry and calmly told him that there was a protruding rock under Joelson, perhaps… perhaps the ending would not have been like this?
However, it was too late to think about all this now…
Godfrey hung in the air and thought in great pain.
“No… I don’t believe it!”
Godfrey suddenly opened his eyes.
“I absolutely don’t believe… Joelson, my master, will die in this place like this!”
Godfrey held onto the ice with one hand and wiped his tears with the other.
“I must find my master. If he is dead, I must bring his body back. If he is alive, I want to see him. If he is dead, I want to see his body. I absolutely don’t believe that my master will die in this place like this!”
There was no sadness in Godfrey’s eyes. He looked at the scene at the bottom of the abyss and felt relieved.
At least, even if the situation was really as bad as he thought… he must at least bring back the remains of his master’s soul!
How could he let his master’s soul sleep in such a place… in such a snowy place!
Thinking of this, Godfrey wiped his tears and continued to climb down…
At the bottom of the Wailing Abyss.
The bottom of this place was probably the lowest point in the entire Underworld.
The moment he fell, Joelson felt extremely relaxed. He fell weakly like a butterfly with its wings broken, or like a cotton wad that fluttered in the wind.
Bang!
He fell heavily into the thick snow. Although there was snow underneath, he fell from a height of a few hundred meters. It was as if he had jumped from the tallest building in the world, no matter what was underneath, the heavy kinetic energy almost broke his body into pieces.
He fell deeply into the snow. The white snow covered his body, like a soft quilt.
The snow was like a soft mattress. Joelson was immersed in it. The snow in the sky was like a quilt. Soon, it covered Joelson’s body with a thin quilt.
“Ugh…”
Joelson raised his head with difficulty and observed the surrounding scene.
The surrounding scenery was very beautiful. It was a time of ice and snow. Joelson had thought that the world below would be very dark but, unexpectedly, there were many ores embedded on the ice surface. These ores emitted colorful rays of light, reflecting… The world below was actually not dark at all. The multicolored rays of light shone in the underground time, adding a fantastic color to this space.
Most importantly, although the gap above was very narrow, the space below was unexpectedly large. Thanks to the landslide, the width of the underground world was not narrow at all. It was clearly difficult for Hades to spread his wings above, but in the underground world… it was enough to fit dozens of houses.
These scenes surprised Joelson, but there was a hint of disharmony in the beautiful underground world.
In the white snow, there were many frozen hands. Their bodies were buried in the snow, leaving only one hand outstretched. It was as if they were unwilling to be completely buried in the underground world.
“Ugh…”
Joelson fainted. He lowered his head weakly and fell into a coma.
