âRockefeller brat, hold me tight!â
Anyhow, they had already been holding each otherâs hands from the beginning. At that moment,
Maximilia pulled Alder over forcefully and wrapped her arms around him.

She was protecting Alder with her own body. Furthermore, she protected his head firmly in her chestâ¦

That soft and bouncy sensation suffocated Alder for a while. Edgar lacked the ability for internal
respiration and couldnât hold his breath for long, and would probably be asphyxiated to death.
Alder

Edgar
He
âHey⦠Mm⦠Mmhhâ¦â
Alder wanted to speak, but words failed to escape his lips. Edgar tried to open his mouth to take a
breath, but it was also blocked. In desperation, he bit down hard.

A womanâs body contained several areas that were most vulnerable to pain. The location that Alder bit
was definitely most vulnerable to pain. After all, this place was set in ancient times, and there were no
modern, fashionable sponge bra pads. And Maximiliaâs clothes were relatively sexy and thin like
Westerosâs. Hence, when he bit downâ¦
Alder
Alex
âOh my god!â
Maximilia shuddered all over in pain. She then hurriedly let go of Edgar, yelling, âWhat are you doing?
My body is made of flesh!â
Edgar,
Alex,
Alder took a deep breath. âMaximilia, you almost suffocated me.â
Alder
Alex
Maximilia was speechless.
In fact, it was not completely empty down there. Rather, there was a steep slope. After they both fell for
a few meters, they slid on a steep slope full of yellow sand on both sides, but the fall did not hurt much.
Alder was lying on Maximiliaâs body, which was equivalent to having a soft cushion. Not only did he feel
no pain, but he actually enjoyed it a lot.
Alder
Alex
It was unknown how deep they had slid down the slope. Both of them were shocked.
The torch was still in Maximiliaâs hand, but the whistling wind from the sliding diminished the flame, and
it looked like it would be extinguished at. any time. After another while, the steep slope beneath their
bodies suddenly disappeared.
This time, they were really falling straight down.
âAh! We are done for! Weâre going to fall to deaths!â Alder shouted as he held Maximilia tightly.
Alder
Alex
Maximilia said, âWhat are you afraid of? At most, weâll fail the Heavenly Stairs trial.â
As soon as the voice fell, she saw a pool of water with the help of the torchâs light.
âBe careful! Weâre going to fall into the water!â Maximilia threw the torch away and clutched Alder with
both hands while spreading her strength all over her body.
Alder
Alex
Boom!
The impact was huge.
They had fallen too fast. Alder only heard a buzzing sound and felt as though his body would be torn
apart. Immediately afterward, an icy sheet of aura enveloped his entire body. After that, he lost
consciousness.
Alder
Alex
Splash!
After a full minute, Maximilia pulled Alder out of the water. However, the torch was currently
extinguished, and the surroundings were pitch-black. She could not see anything and knew nothing of
the surroundings. To be frank, even Jadeâs soul wouldâve felt a surge of panic in the face of such
darkness. Moreover, Alder wasnât moving a muscle.
Alder

Alex
âAlder?! Alder Rockefeller?! Wake up! Wake up!â She shouted, but Alder didnât respond.

Alder
Alex
This time, she was really panicked. As soon as she checked his nose, she was even more terrified.
Alder was not breathing.
Alder
Alex
Although she knew that Alder definitely wasnât dead, and he wouldâve most likely stopped on the first
step of Heavenly Stairs after failing the trial, she did not dare to take the gamble⦠She harbored
another thought, she did not want to face this kind of pitch-black environment alone.
Alder
Alex
âAlder Rockefeller! Alder Rockefeller! D*mn it! You better not die! Wake up! Iâm slightly afraid of the
dark!â
Alder

The dignified commander of the Flying Eagles would probably become a laughing stock if she said that
she was afraid of darkness. However, Jade was really afraid, especially in a total, pitch-black
environment.
