Chapter 242 - A Husband's Party Gets Split!
The floor below them began to split! The whole room also shook heavier than ever before, so many people needed to use their weapons to support each other. However, nothing could stop the floor from splitting.
Some nobles used their flames to just jump to the other side, but it was only possible for the forces leading the group.
Kyoya and his party could either stop here and get swallowed up by the hole.
"Xiaoxiao and Rosa, get back and then continue! I will-"
Before Kyoya could pass more instructions, he got swallowed up by the hole. It wasn\'t that weird considering he was in the middle of the whole pack. His wife wrapped her arms around his neck unconsciously the moment the floor split, so Xaya was with him.
Then, Noe got involved in the fall solely because she couldn\'t react.
Her body got hugged by the husband during the fall, so it was reassuring. Nonetheless, there was also the queen trying to help herself with the husband arm. In such a way, Kyoya fell down with the three women desperately trying to hug him.
All of them landed in the cold water.

In the meantime, Xiaoxiao heard the head guard screaming.
"The queen!"
It was like the scream from the movie, but Xiaoxiao had no way of thinking like that. She just found the guard loyal and worthy of respect. Her eyes saw him trying to jump into the hole, but other nobles stopped him.
They were more worried about each other, so Xiaoxiao secretly scoffed at them!
Then, she turned her orange jewels to Rosa who was playing with her long hair.
"Hmm?"
"You don\'t seem worried, Rosa."
"Haha. No need to be worried. Didn\'t you see how all three of them hugged him?"
"I saw, actually!"
It was funny as Kyoya\'s back naturally got taken by Xaya and Kyoya was also sure of this. So he instantly threw his hands to grab Noe. Then, the queen also quickly grabbed his arm despite Xaya being the easier target to support.
The husband wasn\'t alone, so he was all fine.
"We are also fine as there are two of us. Let\'s go to the invader\'s base!"
"The husband wants us to go here, but what if there is nothing here? That would be disappointing."
"It feels like you are too eager to battle."
"A certain someone brought back a little of my old self, you see."
"Ah, no need to say more!"
Xiaoxiao nodded, completely understanding the blonde lady next to her. She was curious as to what exactly was brought back by Kyoya. For now, it looked like Rosa wanted to just fight as much as possible.
Furthermore, Xiaoxiao knew that Rosa had been training lately more than drinking her tea.
It alone said much, but the two ladies turned their eyes to the other side.
There was something weird going on…
"W-what are you… doing?"
The head guard said.
His heart just evaded the lethal strike from one of the nobles. As his back struck the ice wall, he looked at the two with wariness in his eyes. A sword was already in front of him, ready to fight the two nobles.
"Why is only the queen coming from the royal family? It\'s because this family is falling, the head guard. If we take you down, then the Yuyu Kingdom will be all ours. Isn\'t that our chance?"
"Some of your… descendants also fell down. You are just going to abandon them like that?"
"A necessary sacrifice. The whole world pillar is full of those."
"Idiots… Rather than strengthening our kingdom, you choose to weaken it… Pathetic!"
The head guard rashed forth, but it was obvious that his death was inevitable. He fought well and even heard Xiaoxiao\'s cheers during his battle, but the obvious struck him too quickly. As he hit the ground, the noble kicked the head guard\'s body with a strong kick! He threw him straight to the hole where Kyoya and his party should currently be located!
Unfortunately, the noble didn\'t do that to help the queen, but to pass the message before her death.
Xiaoxiao and Rosa yet again looked at each other.
"Cliche, isn\'t it?"
Rosa was the first one to speak now. Her arms crossed and she just waited for the whole situation to progress. Looking so normal, Xiaoxiao kinda got shocked by that, but she composed herself well.
With the spear tip pointing at the betraying nobles, Xiaoxiao asked.
"What\'s your goal now?"
"We will go back. Please, step aside."
"No. I don\'t want to get touched by such bastards!"
"Then, we have to forcefully pass you. Please, don\'t get angry at us if we touch you a little too much."
Xiaoxiao got angry at such perverted words that came out too naturally from this filth\'s mouth. There was still hole in the floor, so the lady was surely at advantage despite her weapon being the weakest here.
But the lady next to her didn\'t plan to just wait.
"A scum like them is the perfect appetizer. I truly hope there are invaders at the other side."
"Um, please don\'t go… It\'s better for us to wait."
"Nope. I am not waiting."
Rosa looked around the corridor, then gathered a lot of lightning around her feet. The small steam escaped from below as she heated up, then in a short she kicked the ground and wall many times!
An ice barely could react to her fast speed and the strength that outclassed the whole floor! She was so strong that her body flew past the nobles and landed behind them. Then, a lightning sword made an appearance.
"You won\'t fall into this hole as I don\'t want to throw you to the husband. Now, let me enjoy some killing!"
As the blue light flashed, Rosa just clad herself in the lightning, then a hard battle began. It was hard only for the nobles that were stuck in the tight corridor while Rosa just kicked the walls, floor and ceiling whenever she wanted.
"Practice your invisible flames, Xiaoxiao."
"Ah, yes. What should I do, Akaro?"
"Just clad your spear with flames and then use this concept. I will separate the invisible flames and throw it at them."
"Okay!"
While Rosa just enjoyed her time and slowly began to return to her former self, Xiaoxiao raised her spear and began the training under Akaro\'s guidance.
In the meantime, Kyoya found himself in a cold water that was so cold that it went past his resistance. It was not life-threatening, though. But while it was fine for him to cope with the cold water, the same couldn\'t be said about his party.
"Fuck!
