" Oh it works " few pebbles floated at Lily's command " Ohh that's good " the corpses in the mansion turned to dust and she stored the pill ' Now about that sponsor helping the camp , it could be useful maybe giving them a concoction of my blood will be useful '
She walked to a pond nearby ' A breath from my mask should be enough to make one ' Lily held her breath and the mask expelled the residual breath before closing .
" Cane , How is the quality " " Medicine quality : a proper steroid to increase body strength gradually without greater damage in the rest of the cells " " Good enough take it away " the cane takes the water and Lily uses the wind to carry all the dust from the corpses and into the empty pond .
' I'll take these to sell , This time I'll probably have to go through a legal process ' she went to a building based on the memories of the rift divers that defected .
" I'm here to sell " the trouble of having everything authenticated took forever for Lily however giving them an ID and a place of residence was good enough and allowed her to get some money .
' My body still feels healthy maybe I should buy some food for Mother ' She went to a restaurant and ordered takeout going into an alley with paper bags and opened a door " Time for dinner " " Woohoo what do we get "
Lily put the food on the table ' I don't feel the hunger I usually do this feels a bit different ' Lily started to eat with Mother and sensed her stomach being filled with satiation ' This feels strange ' Lily watched Mother enjoy eating her food .
' I always ate because I wanted to try out some dishes never for sustenance . So does that mean my stomach growling a while ago was the real type of hunger ? ' Lily levitated a piece of meat to her mouth .
' Also this power seems to be very useful too , I can use Doris's , Terra's and many others but just like them , I'm starting at the very beginning ' " So which TV are we going to next ? " " I have a few in mind but that'll be for tomorrow to decide "
...
The next day Lily bought breakfast giving a big full paper bag to Mother ' What is with this news about Rifts closing ? ' she had heard the rumors and even the appearance of unknown monsters .
' Looks like the rift king caught on but sealing these rifts also means that they are losing out on the descender's sponsorship but the problem isn't them avoiding the purification of the land but '
Lily looked at Mother and herself ' The two of us , if they seal too many rifts they allow the Labyrinth to come closer but at one point me and Mother will be spotted to influence the purification of land , So we risk exposing ourselves '
They sat on the fountain to eat ' The annoying thing about having this power to repel the Labyrinth's influence is the fact that we can easily be detected I should look for a way to suppress it I'm sure the Labyrinth can offer that to me '
" What are you thinking ? " Mother asked " About how to make us harder to notice " " I don't think you need to do that I was talking all day inside the room and nobody was curious about the talking lizard " " Because I turned your translator off "
" What !? " " Calm down you hardly use your mouth to talk to others " " But I would've liked it if I was heard " " Oh don't worry about that " Lily sent a message to the Labyrinth about the suppressor and a few other words .
' But if they had a plan of decreasing the purified land by reducing their influence they will realize that would be a mistake ' Lily smiled eating her food ' I should relax for the day just to show them that I don't mind waiting plus it'll give them a sign '
" So what do we do for the day ? " " We have a lot of money I was planning to check out some trinkets that they offer I don't usually get the opportunity to walk around like this " " Then let's do that " Lily nodded .
" Sure , how about we visit that restaurant I've been wanting to watch someone cook in front of me " they visited that restaurant enjoying the rest of the day without going to any rifts .
Meanwhile in the rift world " Your majesty we have encountered a problem " " What is it ? " " The Mazes suddenly stopped crossing into the purified land this morning " " But how ? he rifts to reduce the purified land to push the offer to the kingdom "
" The problem is that the purified land hasn't decreased at all and even the descender's sponsorship remained in place " " But why ? " " We suspect that the kingdom should have some sort of device or tool that is also purifying the land as such we have searched through our defectors to see what it is "
" Then tell them to search through the kingdom's treasury instead if the cause is found create a plan to take it " meanwhile the device that was purifying the land .
' It just crossed my mind that this place probably has some kind of treasures , the Sages did lose their magic tree as a sacrifice to prevent the Labyrinth's influence so maybe there's one . '
" Come on husband go to sleep already " Mother said " I will " ' The energy plant should arrive some days later , Argus should be able to handle it but I do want to be there so that I can tell the great fire about it also I do have to return I gave the Labyrinth a deadline that I plan to reach '
She counted the days until the deadline ' They want the destruction of the candidates but they also want me to do it fast . It makes sense if they feel their influence deteriorating faster than they can gain it '
The next day Lily gathered some news " A bunch of thieves robbed the royal treasury clean " she heard at the store after clearing a rift and using the rift's resources to create more potions to sell " Patron your potions have been great so is it possible for you to meet the demand ? " " I can try "
' They must've gone to take the treasury's artifacts thinking it might've influenced the range but as long as Mother is here the purified land will barely be affected , the Labyrinth agreed to leave the area alone to me but that just makes the treasury easier to steal now , Maybe I should get a bit out of the treasury myself when I find it '
" I'll be heading to those rifts today you should just stay at the inn " " Alright I'll see you later " Lily looked at Mother ' Strange she seemed a bit smaller ' she used a door to reach a rift ' First I need to take down a general '
Lily walked into the rift and found herself at the foot of a giant rocky mountain ' The golem general should be a good test for Terra's powers ' Lily switched her face with the cane and heard boulders falling .
" They sure are quick good thing none of them think much about my face changing " Lily threw a pill into her mouth and raised her hand making the boulders stop in the air ' You can have them back '
The boulders shot back to the golems and Lily prepares the ancient art to create more pills for her to consume " It's slow maybe that's cause too little organic matter around her " a skeleton nearby crumbled to dust .
' Man this is gonna take a while to get a pill but I could at least get used to telekinesis ' more boulders flew towards her ' It's best to exercise I never really got an opportunity like this so ' she kicked the boulder sending it back to the sender .
" Maybe I'm finally growing I was hoping for a growth spurt but it seems like it's going to take a while and a lot " She started hiking faster moving sideways to avoid the boulder ' So this is why they say exercise is such a hard thing , but it's always the first step that's the hardest ' she reached the line of golems .
One swung its rocky arm down and she dodged to the side . The cane shot the line of golem away while the golem spread its arms to grab Lily , she moved her hand to face her palm to the line of golems behind her and they were struck by a heavy force .
" This is like those superhero movies " She looked up the mountains to see more boulders coming in " Is this all the golem general is capable of ? " she was disappointed by the straightforward concept .
' There's at least a difference and increase in difficulty also there's some vegetation up there too ' Lily spots a few roots from the tall mountain ' I should get serious '
Lily did some stretching exercises and looked up at the mountain ' The goal is the top of the mountain so that I can find the golem general and get some more pills for my nutrient need '
Lily sprinted to the side instead of upward the steep slopes . Golems pushed down boulders to force Lily to make her move , she sped up as her heartbeat rose and the sound echoed through lightly .
The golems pushed a line of boulders and when it was close she jumped over them , the cane cushioned her fall and she continued running at a much slower pace but there were already boulders falling.
She ran faster and saw a line of golems and swung her hand to motion her telekinesis to swat the golems down . She felt more alive and heard her heartbeat remembering what Death said about it .
Nearby fossils start to resurrect and some seeds that couldn't see the sun sprouted at nearby water sources . Lily continued jogging as more fossils heard the echoes of her soul , a soul that threaded the borders of life and death and it inspired the dead like how it inspired Life to be born in a sense .
Lily turned the cane into a blade and slashed through the Golems that were in line . She slashed one sensing an increase in resistance guessing she must be getting to the next level and increased the intensity of the energy blade .
The golem maker watched several screens go blank as Lily killed more golems " I'll have to kill her now " without even thinking about reporting to the rift king the mountain started to reveal its true body .
Despite the ground shaking it didn't deter Lily's relentless attacks as she continued to keep running . She jumped off the ground and prepared to land but saw the ground going further " Huh "
The cane activated her cushion and she stopped running but prepared to send boulders away with telekinesis . The giant golem hidden in the mountain sheds off its disguise that trick others into thinking it is a mountain and revealed a giant towering golem with bits of rocks , dirt and vegetation on its body .
" I think this is too much for an insignificant being like you but you have done too much trouble for our cause " the arms unfolded and spread out , cannons pointed towards Lily who stood on the collapsing dirt and stone ' So it's that kind of boss '
The cannons fired magic towards Lily , she backed away with the cane creating platforms and watched the explosion occur but saw some special magic come out of the smoke from the explosion . She ran towards them and jumped before they hit her .
As she had guessed the magic turned backwards to attack her . The cane envelops her in a shield taking the hit and allowing them to be blasted into the golem .
The shield was deactivated and the maker quickly commanded the golem but found that some of its gears were jammed . Lily looked at the complete pill and the source of nutrients .
' Oh that's right my soul probably resurrected the treasures inside it ' she increased the pill's construction speed causing the resurrected fossilized plants to die and turn to dust allowing the Maker to start an attack .
' But where's the fun in that ' she ate the pill and made a door appear before it hit her using the attack to destroy the other magic directed at her " What ! A door ? " Lily activated the float on the cane and flew towards the lower parts of the Golem .
The auto defense system went off firing tiny precision shots towards Lily She held onto a cane and flew like a witch with her broom and used reflections to send the shots back .
' I'm sure Terra did this trick before ' Lily grasped the air and the golem froze in its tracks " Come on break " Lily clenched her hand and the Golem's footing started to crumble under Lily's telekinesis .
" What is going on " ' The closer I am the easier it is to use this ' Lily made the Cane zoom in and she clenched her hand to form a fist crushing the Golem's footing fully . She leaves the Cane and starts running with the towering golem falling behind her .
The risk of death looming so close excited her the tension and danger despite making her life a living hell had made her feel alive . Her heartbeat speeds up and dead seeds are sprouting just from the echoes of her soul .
The Maker tumbled to the wall and the golems on their body tried to save their Maker. Lily reached the finish line that the Cane calculated and the golem fell behind her " Haaahhh hahhh haaah "
She took several breaths of air , her muscles were on fire , and she felt the effects of physically pushing her body beyond its intended limit . The maker crawled with blood over their body " How are you so strong "
Lily looked at the Maker " Haaah so you phew the Golem general " she panted as she talked to the Maker , her soul's echoes was making it easier for them to cling on to life " This doesn't make sense how was I bested by a small figure like you "
" I wouldn't call myself small at all but I would like to thank you " she used them as a source of nutrients and created a pill that was strangely bigger than she had initially thought " Huuuhh ? Why is it bigger ? " Lily panted and started thinking .
' It was not this big when I killed the defectors why is it like this now ? ' she checks the memories to find many causes ' Oh that makes perfect sense ' she sees a direct encounter with the rift king which involved granting the golem maker an extension in their lifespan .
" Well my body is a bit hungry and it's really painful but it feels more at home like this " She stored the pill away while her body returned to its old state of hunger " Now let's see if you have anything useful to put this toy away "
Lily carried a bag filled with the stolen treasury of the kingdom ' The kingdom will lose this very easily but the rift world will have a problem maybe they might get the generals to stay together , but this descension of the rift world requires them to spread out maybe they might have to rewrite the formula '
She looks at the golem maker's soul to learn more about their plans ' Some kind of secret plan huh maybe they were planning to leave is that why they decided to use their trump card right off the bat '
The Rift King received the news of the defeat of the golem maker ' Looks like I have some traitors ' the throne started to crack as the RiftKingg decided ' You leave me no choice , with the dwindling of generals and that looming nuisance '
Lily returns to find Mother at the inn " Hey husband same thing tomorrow? " " No it will be a bit different first you should head back to the mountain we landed in and take this with you " a debt chain sent her some words .
' Calm down I know what's gonna happen I have a backup for you when that happens " they went to bed while in the Rift world , the Rift king prepared the ritual three blown candles were placed away in the center , and the rest of the candles were placed in their respective spots in the room .
" With the souls of generals , I will bring my domain to this Labyrinth "The three burned out candles cracked while the rest burned brightly the other living generals died and their souls flew into the ritual room where the rift king used the strength of their soul to power the spell that will bring the rift world to the Labyrinth .
A small crack appeared in the sky ... " Mmggghh what's that noise ? " Mother asked and walked to the window and climbed on the table by the sprout to see people running " We need medics over here "
" Why didn't that potion do a big strength why is it so low " " I have said the same thing this kind of potion was meant to be a medicine that slowly increases your body so it doesn't harm you or mentally stress you "
" Why didn't they discover before " " Has anyone found Immortal yet ? " " Huh ? " Mother looked at a poster to see a small reptilian head and a familiar face ' Oh it's the face she uses to meet those people what did she say she wanted to do '
Mother decided to call Lily " Hey Husband some ehh ? " she couldn't find Lily in the room ... " Whatever it is you plan to do please do it " The king asked at the Balcony with Lily standing beside him " So now you want my help ? " the king nodded " Several nobles already died mysteriously I don't know how it happened "
" I'll tell you what happened Your Majesty" Lily said sarcastically " They were chosen as sacrifices their bodies are left behind so you don't mind if I take it right ? " " Will you help us ? " Lily thinks about the deadline .
" Sure as long as you stay loyal to your kingdom I'll ensure that your kingdom wins this war " " Then Immortal as king I will allow you to take the corpses of the traitors " " Hmm even in this turbulent time you still retain the face of a king " Lily smiled while the pill started to form .
" It's only right I do this the rift divers are doing their best what kind of king will I be if I throw my crown " The king looked over the giant crack in the gateway to the rift world ' Better than the rift king at least ' Lily thought .
" By the way , I found your stolen treasury " Lily threw the king a pouch " That should be my thanks for giving me the corpse of your former allies " he was confused as to why Lily would do so much and she looked at the chains which glows much more clearly .
' I should send Mother back and the order I asked from Argus should get in soon ' " We are in your debt for your support " " Oh trust me I know " Lily leaves and goes to the inn to see that Mother isn't around anymore .
Lily swallowed a pill and opened a door to the mountain " Husband what are we here for ? " " I'm sending you home " " What but I haven't had my fill of fun " " I know but it's gonna get dangerous and what kind of husband am I to let you die , we got kids to take care of around your body "
" Sigh , alright I'll go " The cane expanded back into a pod , Mother hopped in and it shot back into the sky undetected while another pod came in " Now let's go back to the king " she used another door to the castle .
" Immortal you're back already " " Yeah here take this " Lily showed him vials of body boosters " Here consider this my support and as for the secrecy of my name you don't have to hold back use it however you wish from now on "
The king didn't mind hiding it considering what had occurred when Lily was around " These Potions are like the ones that are been trending with the nobles they increase the body's strength however this one has a much greater effect but of course the pain is more severe so try to give it to those who can handle it "
" But that means we risk the loss of morale " the new officials said " That's not me to figure out you're this kingdom's heart and mind I'm just the provider , no if you may excuse me I'll be doing one more job "
" Wait what job do you " the king stops his concerned official and Lily disappears through a door ' The rift world looks great , but how does it fit in this world ? is it through a different dimension like how the 3d world is layered with various 2d worlds ? '
She explored the context of the possibility of a four-dimensional world but couldn't make sense of the possibility of a four-dimensional being " Ehh either way that possibility doesn't bother me , the current issue is this "
Flying monsters flew out to attack the kingdom ' The kingdom should handle that now that I gave the kingdom the name of the immortal I hope the rebel group will try to take some actions they might try to surface and risk themselves but as long as they see the great potential they might do it '
Lily walks into the rift world undetected again and the king rallies his subjects while a spy is gathering information ' It seems whoever is using the name immortal is supporting this kingdom , but why ? '
The spy tried to think of a few reasons as to why the faker would do so ' The king already introduced them as a supporter we have no idea who this faker is but clearly they plan to sabotage the candidate , but how do they know they are the candidate ? '
Too much uncertainty surrounds the faker , this world has too many kinds of people coming in and it's too big to pinpoint the person .
' On a further side of the Labyrinth also has a faker could they be the same thing ? but the one on the other side wasn't deliberate at all the descenders just thought they were the Immortal but this one deliberately gave the king permission and even seemed to have pushed the king to reveal their identity '
The spy decided to call the two fakers two different people but did guess the fake immortal that the descenders assumed ' According to sources the candidate with the giant dragon was named Lily Valley , she seems to have only fed the infant dragon but still expanded her territory a team of hers was sent and she remains at her glass dome home '
Death looked at the sky with Lily's body ' This body is extremely defective how many genetic diseases did she inherit ? how am I not surprised that she was born ? ' Argus's voice was booming forcing him to behave like Lily .
" Argus how well is the energy factory going ? " " The exploration team has reached the location they have sent and found that a nearby candidate wanted to form an alliance " " What kind of candidate is this ? "
" According to the team the candidate is a tower " " Please clarify and how were they banished here ? " " According to them they were banished for being a dangerous nation however anyone outside them calls them an uncivilized jungle with extremely dangerous conditions "
" Oh so they became candidates but why haven't they attacked the energy plant ? " " According to the report the employees had managed to relay information to them and convinced them that they have a boss who's capable and the patron of the energy plant "
Death hears Argus's voice to tell him what to do " So they spared them because they want to benefit from me ? " " Yes , they desire the opportunity to benefit from the lab which the employees had to give information of "
" Good then how are the other teams we sent out to search for the other facilities ? " " The exploration for the Lab is barely halfway after 5 days we are still mapping the area around the rest " " So we'll have to ally with this tower what is it called ? "
" They call themselves the eclipse tower "
