Chapter 746 - Mheera's Plan
In a certain mountain, Mheera and the other three guardian warriors continued making the portal. They had been there for several days now.
Today, they finally opened the portal using their combined powers. They could hold this up for only thirty minutes.
Someone should return to their world and call the guardian warrior who fought Zhen-Zhen before. He was the only guardian warrior who could identify Zhen-Zhen's face.
"Shiba, go back now. Make sure to bring Shino here. We need him." Mheera gave her order.
Shiba stopped casting his power. "Leave it to me, our Head Shaman. I will make sure to bring Shino back here."
After saying that, Shiba stepped into the portal, going back to their world. He had to come back soon. They only had 30 minutes to maintain the portal. After that, it would automatically disappear.
Mheera, Riyu, and Calec waited for Shiba. While they were waiting, they noticed Mheera's troubled expression.
"Head Shaman…" Riyu called her name, contemplating whether to continue asking her or not.
"While we are in this world, just call me Mheera."
"Mheera, is there something bothering you?" Riyu finally asked her. She was dying to know since ever since they tried to open the portal, Mheera's mind seemed like wandering off somewhere.
"You can tell us. We are willing to listen. We might be able to help you." Calec had also spoken, urging Mheera to speak her mind.
Mheera darted her gaze between Riyu and Calec. Though she was the Head Shaman now, Riyu and Calec were her childhood friends. They grew up together as if they were real brothers and sisters.
"Is it about our guardian lord?" Calec brought Liam up.
Complicated emotions flashed on Mheera's face at the mention of their guardian leader. At that certain moment, Riyu and Calec had confirmed that this had something to do with Liam.
Mheera exhaled deeply. She could no longer hide it from them. Besides, she needed to let it out to make his feelings lighter.
"I think our guardian lord changed so much after staying in this world. Before coming here, we had a little argument about the demon god. We have conflicting ideals now." There was a gleam of sadness in Mheera's eyes when she said those words.
Calec and Riyu exchanged glances with one another. They knew it. Their guardian lord was the reason why Mheera seemed distracted.
He was the only guy who could affect Mheera like this. They were aware of the hidden feelings Mheera had for Liam.
This was the reason why Mheera disobeyed Liam's order. She was supposed to stay in their world to guide the new guardian lord who should replace Liam. But Mheera chose to follow Liam in this world.
They knew that Mheera did this because she was worried about Liam's safety. She wanted to make sure that he was safe.
She thought after seeing him, everything would go back to normal. Liam said he killed the demon god's daughter already but he refused to return to their world.
"I can feel that our guardian leader is hiding something from me. I can no longer understand him." Mheera started to vent out.
"What do you mean by that?" Riyu blinked her eyes, feeling a little bit confused.
"I saw someone who looked like the demon god. I told him that we must eliminate him once we confirmed his identity. But he said that there's no need to do that."
"Huh? You saw the demon god? He is alive? I thought he was killed by our ancestors?" Calec couldn't believe it.
"I'm not sure about his identity yet since I can't sense his power. Our guardian leader is trying to verify his identity as of now. He is currently monitoring the man who looks like the demon god."
"Alright. Then what should we do if he is indeed the demon god? Our Guardian Leader doesn't want to kill him," Riyu asked them curiously.
"We will kill him by ourselves. I will make sure to show our guardian leader that his decision is wrong. Once he sees the true color of the demon god by fighting us, our Guardian Leader will make a move and kill the demon god by himself."
"I am willing to sacrifice myself just to wake him so he will return to his usual self. I don't care if I get hurt while fighting the demon god as long as our guardian leader will awaken his desire to kill the demon god." Mheera felt so determined regarding this matter.
Riyu and Calec just nodded their heads. Between Mheera and Liam, they would prefer to follow Mheera since Liam already changed his ideals.
"This is dangerous. You don't have to follow my lead if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you to do this with me…" Mheera said, thinking about her comrades' safety.
"Of course not! We are in this together. We will follow you." Calec expressed his loyalty to Mheera.
"Yes! I will also fight with you, Mheera. Since it is dangerous, we should help each other," Riyu chimed in, raising her fist.
"We have one goal… to eliminate the demon god as well as his bloodline," she added.
"Alright. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. I have to do this. This is the only way for our guardian leader to return with us," Mheera said meaningfully.
"After our mission here, I will mobilize you in secret. Our guardian leader should not know that you are here with me. We will move secretly because I am afraid that once he finds out, he will try to stop us." Mheera clenched her fists. She didn't want to lie to Liam but she had no choice.
"Alright, Mheera, just tell us what to do and we will fulfill our mission," Calec promptly responded.
"Same with me. I will do my best to help you in this mission," Riyu also commented.
"Okay. I will tell you my plan. Let's just wait for Shiba and Shino.. We need them as well."
