Chapter 219 No other option
After Feba was gone from the place the sickle lady looked at Jack and let out a loud yell of agony.
It was as if Jack had stolen something precious from her. And not only once but twice.
Although there was no lower jaw for the sickle lady she was somehow able to let out loud voices.
Jack could only imagine what she would have done if Jack let her get to the compass and get to the real world, she would have killed a lot of people before anyone could have stopped her.
"Hey lady, your chance of getting out is zero now." Jack chuckled and pointed his gun at the sickle again and started shooting.
"Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang..."
It took more than fifty bullets before cracks started appearing on the Sickle.
When the lady saw the cracks on her sickle a worried expression appeared on her face and she sliced her sickle towards Jack again to stop him.
However before her sickle could reach Jack, he has shot it enough time that it broke into many pieces.
After the sickle broke the ghost lady let out another loud yell and looked at her sickle in terror, and then her body started disintegrating into white sparks.
"So her life was in her sickle. If I had known before then nothing would have happened." Jack thought and leaned down on the floor as he saw the ghost lady disappearing.
A smile formed on his face as he felt a cold sensation moving through his body.
"So I am dying..." He chuckled and threw the gun away, he could tell that he was in no condition to move now and death was near him.
There was no one else that could save him and he was not even in the condition to first aid himself.
He just accepted his death lying down.
"Jack...?"
Suddenly a worried and questioning voice entered his ears and he looked ahead.
And when he saw who it was his eyes widened in surprise.
"Vieva?"
He never thought that he would see Vieva in his final time.
"Jack!"
Vieva quickly came towards him and looked at his wounded body.
"What happened to you?" She asked in a worried tone. Her one heart was enough for her to worry about Jack.
Jack looked at her and chuckled. "Nothing, I think I am dying..." He said in a nihilistic tone.
Blood had stopped moving out of his body, however, he was feeling dizzy and finally after saying his last words he lost his consciousness.
"Jack." Vieva quickly placed her finger on his forehead and started reciting a spell to wake him up.
He was her only chance of getting out of this maze before the green-haired girl finds them and kills them both.
"AH--"
Jack's eyes suddenly flashed open before he could completely lose consciousness.
Vieva looked at him waking up and let out a sigh of relief. She was relieved that Jack didn't die at the endpoint.
After she saw him waking up she joined both of her hands and a red-coloured light moved out from her chest and entered Jack's body.
Soon enough Jack's body started healing at a rapid pace and in just a minute all the wounds on his body disappeared.
Jack stood up and looked at his body.
'Even my fatigue is gone.' He looked at Vieva and smiled.
"Thanks." He nodded.
Vieva looked at him and nodded. Then an impatient expression appeared on her face.
"We should leave this place fast. Do you know the exit?" She asked.
Jack looked at her worried face and a frown appeared on his face, he wondered why she was so scared. He knew that Vieva was a powerhouse herself.
"What happened?" Jack asked with his brows raised.
Vieva moved towards him and grabbing his hand she started moving forward. "I don't have time to explain it in detail, but a green-haired girl is following me and she is powerful."
Jack moved with her and took in a deep breath. "Is she more powerful than you?" He asked.
"Yes. So we should hurry." Vieva said in a low voice. "I can sense that she is pretty close to us. I think she would reach us in forty minutes." She said again.
Jack gulped his saliva and remembered what he read in his book. 'That green-haired girl must be Hena. Even Vieva is scared of her. She must be extremely powerful.'
Jack started to increase his pace at this thought. He knew that they would need at least an hour to reach the next portal.
Vieva saw him moving fast and started to fly herself.
"Let me help you." She said and flicked her finger.
"Ah--" Jack suddenly felt his legs leaving the floor and he started to fly with Vieva.
"I will direct you through the path." He said after a few seconds.
Vieva nodded at his words.
Soon enough they started flying through the hallway and Vieva took him in the direction he said.
They met a few more monsters along the way each getting stronger than before. And some were even stronger than the Sickle Lady.
However, Vieva took care of them easily.
And in just half an hour both of them stood in front of a large black portal.
It swirled with blue light surrounding it.
"Shit! She is here." Vieva looked back and exclaimed.
Jack also looked back and could feel an eerie feeling. 'She is pretty strong for her to give off such feeling when she is not even visible.' He thought and looked at the portal.
"Let's go." He said and stepped towards the portal.
Vieva bit her lips as she looked back. "I don't think there is a point anymore. She will follow us in the portal before we can move far into the next world she will catch up to us." She said.
Jack listened to her and took in a deep breath. "Don't worry." He murmured.
"You don't understand Jack. She is the most powerful person I have ever seen." Vieva said again.
Jack saw her flustered expression and placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Do you have a compass?" He asked with his brows raised.
"Yes, I have one," Vieva said and took out a compass from her pocket. She took it from Rebecca after she implanted a bomb in her.
She could feel a strange energy from the compass and thought it would be useful.
"Great." Jack smiled and looked at the portal. "The next dimension is the last one and this portal will teleport us to different locations." He took in a deep breath.
Both of us will try to find the compass and if you get it first then try to find me. And if you find that green-haired girl first then crush the compass and you will get out of this place." Jack said with an assuring smile.
"What if that girl finds you first?" Vieva asked with her brows furrowed.
"Don't worry about me, I have my ways. But remember one thing if you find Ring of Power and can't find me then get out of this place and kill Rick under any condition, he is extremely dangerous." Jack said.
Vieva looked at his expression and taking in a deep breath she nodded. "Ok, I will." She said.
"And one more thing, don't take any risks in the next dimension," Jack said and soon he was just an inch away from the portal.
Vieva looked at him with a complicated expression on her face and nodded, after that, she entered the portal and disappeared.
Jack looked back one final time and could see a green wave moving towards him, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly entered the portal.
"Fuck you!" Hena cursed as she saw Jack and let out a blade of her green energy to cut him in half.
However before the blade could reach Jack, he was already gone in the portal.
Hena came in front of the portal and stomped her leg in anger. "You think you can run from me?! I have remembered your face, I will find you and torture you to death." She spat and also entered the portal.
...
In front of the big rock on Mount Everest.
"Let's go Feba. He is not coming back." Faneel said as he looked at Feba kneeling on the ground with tears falling from her eyes.
Rebecca was also standing with a pained expression on her face.
"You don't understand Faneel! I loved him." Feba said as she looked back at Faneel.
"I am sorry Feba..." Faneel moved towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "However he is already dead. It would be better for us if we went back to our base and told the news to Madam Elma."
"And what would we say?! That he died because of us?!" Feba stood up and looked at Faneel with an angry expression.
Faneel sighed at her words. "We have no other options."
