"Use your mana and crush this forcefully. The rift is about to close."
Just when Lucien was thinking of a solution, he suddenly felt the body leaning against him move slightly.
"Hmm?"
Then, he saw Lilith extending her arm. In her hand was a shimmering bead that looked like a marble.
"Do it fast. We don't have time. Ugh…"
It seemed all the exercise and fierce fighting earlier had taken its toll on her. Lilith once again leaned against Lucien and warned him in a breathy voice.
From her expression, she didn't seem to care at all about their earlier venture.
"Little guy, come here."
Lucien saw that Lilith wasn't joking. So, he didn't dawdle either and ordered the little guy to climb onto his shoulder. Then, without hesitation, he crushed the marble in his hand.
"Boom!"
The moment he did, he saw the entire cavern suddenly collapsing inward into a massive rift like the one he'd seen before.
