Cyrus was happy with Eve's mindset, and without hesitation, he quickly carried Rita into a princess carry, which somewhat startled Rita, who was in a lot of pain and almost on the verge of collapsing.
"I-I don't want… to die!" She weakly uttered while hazily looking at Cyrus with tearful eyes.
Cyrus sighed as he placed his finger over her forehead and mumbled, "Don't make me regret it!"
"Soul Bliss!" A pinkish light suddenly surfaced over Cyrus's finger before Cyrus's face started to turn paler and wilted.
He had just forcibly used his own vitality to use this soul-type spell which was a true Golden Rank Spell.
"YOU!" Eve's panicked voice sounded in his head. She was alarmed by Cyrus's fleeting vitality.
Rita, on the other hand, felt all that piercing coldness suddenly vanish, leaving her with a warm current.
She suddenly regained her clear vision, but when she saw Cyrus's wilted pale face like a dry leaf, she was horrified.
"What did you do?!" She instantly connected the dots and finally understood why the cold suddenly vanished.
Cyrus had definitely done something dangerous to himself to protect her from the cold winds, and her heart instantly ached in deep indescribable pain.
She never expected he would do such a thing for her since he always acted aloof and indifferent.
Cyrus pulled his finger away and snorted, looking at Rita, who was on the verge of bursting into tears and hoarsely said, "Don't take it the wrong way, I just need you right now, and this spell will only last for 15 hours, so I want you to recover, is that clear? This will be the best way to make yourself useful."
With two streams of tears, Rita nodded without hesitation, "I will do anything, even if you want to use me as a shield. I will be your shield!"
"We'll see about that. Now, stay put. I'm going to take you to a safe place. You won't be able to move freely in this soul wind." Cyrus sternly warned.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ "But in your condition…" Rita wanted to retort but shut up when Cyrus coldly glared at her.
"Don't make me repeat myself, woman!" He hoarsely said in an icy cold voice.
Rita suddenly felt a strange dominance from his voice, and she had this feeling that she couldn't break free from it. She didn't even have the courage to look him in the eyes anymore.
Cyrus snorted and stopped paying attention to Rita, who had turned docile.
He then glanced at the sword in his hand and transmitted with an emotionless voice, "As for you, you should have more faith in me. Don't act like some panic-stricken damsel. Always evaluate the entire situation and then act. You have very little patience, little Missy."
"I-I was worried about you!" Eve's indignant voice rang.
Cyrus's sighed, and his expression softened, "I know. But you shouldn't doubt my choices and act like my wife, who should support me, not restrict me.
"In your panic, you completely forget that I can easily replenish my vitality as long as I kill others, and this place is filled with things for me to kill. Now tell me, do you still think I was endangering my life just now?
"On the contrary, Rita is too important for me right now, and she will never forget what happened today as long as she is not an ungrateful wench.
"I'm quite assured she isn't because of the Devil's Spouse Technique, she can never betray me, but this didn't mean I should treat her like a pawn whenever I feel like it, or it does not suit my taste.
"Now you understand why I told you to reevaluate the entire situation before you act or reach a conclusion?"
Cyrus patiently explained to Eve. He was very patient with her since she was just a little girl in mentality who had lots to learn about this world. Furthermore, she holds a special place within his heart, and without her, he is incomplete.
So, he was determined to mold her into the most terrifying woman in existence, and he knew she had the potential to be one.
Eve fell into silence after hearing Cyrus's explanation which was completely reasonable, and it completely rendered her speechless.
"Let's go. Those skeletons are coming. I'll lead the way!" Eve entirely changed the topic and didn't mention anything about it again, as if this had never happened.
Cyrus was naturally speechless and lost for words; he couldn't help but think wryly, 'She definitely had one of the essential skills of a terrifying woman, 'Always change the subject when you prove wrong and pretend as if nothing happened!'
Still, he kept those dangerous thoughts to himself and didn't mention anything unless he wanted his sword to rebel.
He was quite sure that Eve had already learned what he wanted to teach her, and he was expecting her not to make such a mistake again, or… he could always explain again.
Despite his weak state, Cyrus's speed was quite fast, and now that he wasn't effective with the soul winds. He quickly moved while following Eve's directions, and to his surprise, he didn't encounter a single skeleton.
'Those Undead Skeletons were only born a few moments ago, so their reflexes are not so refined.
'But once they start to tap into their undead racial potential, they will be an army that no one wants to mess with, especially when high-potential skeletons start to emerge.
'From this dimension's description by the system, it seemed this place can also intensify growth rate. Lastly, there is still the question that is the humans are the only ones who were pulled into this space.
'Even if there's a small possibility that some undead also dragged into this like humans, then these newly born undead and that guardian will be the least of my problem…'
While running, Cyrus's mind was completely focused on the dimension, and he was sharply gauging the current situation.
Since he had decided to turn this place into his hunting ground, he needed to be sure that there wasn't any stronger predator except him!

While the Skeleton Grotto's descent had completely caged the entire slum district outside the Slum District, the world beyond the Unescapable Wall was not tranquil as well.
On top of the Unescapable wall, which was over 500 meters thick and over 3 miles tall, many armor men emitting a cold murderous aura were standing a few meters from the edge in an orderly fashion.
In front of these armored men were two tall figures standing at the very edge of the unescapable wall while the sun was slowly rising on the horizon.
However, no one seemed to be interested in that beautiful sunrise because they were all looking below.
Once, there used to be landmarks and buildings below. However, right now, there was nothing but a pitch-black doom that was like an unending abyss. No one can see the end of it.
One of the tall figures with a burly build, wearing a gray mask, only his sharp blue eyes were visible as he watched the blackness spreading as far as the wall could reach.
A raspy voice sounded from behind that mask, "This is definitely at least a Silver Grade Dimension Formation, and it is a Dark Type Dimension at that. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be even Golden Grade!"
"Even I can see that. What I want to know is how in the world did those exiles attract the attention of such a dimension. Aren't these just barren lands with only 1% Magic density in the air, and those exiles didn't have a sliver of magic in them?
"No matter how I looked at it, there is some kind of hidden ploy at play here. Do you think those terrifying entities finally decided to get rid of those exiles since they were the only ones left of the proof of our past?" The man with a slim build uttered in a grim tone.
"I also want the answer to this exact question." A hint of forbiddance flashed in the burly man's blue eyes, "Whichever the case is, we need to report it to the Magic Union quickly.
"Don't forget it was the Union who had given the command never to disrupt these people's peace, and very powerful figures had signed that agreement, not to mention the famous Oath Relic. If this Dark Type Dimension is not natural, then I'm afraid our little city will be the first to get the full brunt of it. This place was, after all, under our supervision!"
"Sigh… if I remember correctly, one of the Wiseman Family's Son was also among the exiles. This is really going to be a storm if someone had schemed against those exiles!" The slim man shuddered just thinking about it!
