Chapter 1158 Might Be Bad, Might Be Great, But!

The savory aroma that danced through the air roused Cecile and the others from their slumber, luring them toward the source of the enticing scent. Each yawn was accompanied by a deep inhale, as if savoring the essence of a memory. The unmistakable fragrance tickled Selena's senses, prompting her to express her delight with a contented smile.

"Smells amazing," Selena commented, her gaze reflecting both satisfaction and curiosity. Karina, intrigued by the delightful aroma, couldn't help but pose a question, "Is Lyon cooking?" Kesya, ever the perceptive one, confidently affirmed, "Master is definitely cooking! I can feel it!"

Cecile, with a nostalgic gleam in her eyes, remarked on the familiar scent. "This reminds me of those days," she said, her mind momentarily drifting back to shared moments around a kitchen. The allure of Lyon's culinary skills was something that had woven itself into the fabric of their shared experiences.

As they approached the kitchen, the scene unfolded before them. Lyon and Liu, a duo in culinary harmony, worked side by side. Liu, deft with a knife, expertly handled the cutting duties, while Lyon orchestrated the culinary symphony, orchestrating the flavors and textures with the precision of a seasoned chef. The clinking of utensils and the rhythmic chopping were the percussive notes to their culinary composition.

The kitchen, bathed in warm light, became a stage for their culinary collaboration. Lyon, donning an apron with a confident demeanor, embodied the essence of a culinary maestro. The aromas wafting through the air hinted at a feast in the making, a feast that held the promise of both exquisite flavors and cherished memories.

Cecile and the others watched the culinary ballet unfold, a testament to Lyon's versatility not only as a warrior but also as a skilled cook. The reunion around the kitchen, surrounded by the aroma of shared meals and camaraderie, invoked a sense of togetherness that transcended the challenges they faced.

In that moment, the kitchen became a sacred space where bonds were strengthened, memories were created, and the comforting fragrance of Lyon's cooking served as a reminder of the enduring ties that bound them together

Lyon, focused on the delicate art of plating, casually dropped the revelation, "We met Harvestasya, though through a medium." The announcement reverberated in the kitchen, instantly capturing the attention of Cecile, Selena, and Kesya. Each of them wore a look of curiosity and intrigue, eager to know more about this unexpected encounter.

"You do?" Cecile inquired, her interest piqued as she awaited Lyon's elaboration. Selena, sharing a similar curiosity, leaned in, as if drawn closer by the revelation. Kesya, always quick to catch onto new developments, asked with genuine excitement, "Where is she?"

Liu, taking a moment to add his perspective, spoke up with a sense of gravity, "She is in an Ice Spirit's lair, deep within the realms of Purgatory." The weight of his words lingered, emphasizing the perilous nature of Harvestasya's current location.

The news hung in the air, and the kitchen momentarily fell silent as the gravity of the situation settled upon them. Harvestasya, Lyon's former apprentice, navigating the perilous expanses of Purgatory was not a scenario to be taken lightly. The Ice Spirit's lair added an additional layer of complexity, hinting at mystical challenges and unknown dangers.

Cecile, assessing the situation with her strategic mind, contemplated the implications. "Purgatory," she murmured, a realm synonymous with danger and formidable adversaries. The name alone carried an air of trepidation, stirring memories of past conflicts. n-)o-.V(/e--l(/B))I)(n

Selena, her hand idly tracing the hilt of her sword, spoke with a measured tone, "Venturing into Purgatory is no small feat. What is Harvestasya doing there?" Her concern for their acquaintance was evident, as the group absorbed the gravity of the situation.

Lyon, finishing the plating with a composed demeanor, addressed their collective thoughts. "She's on a quest of curiosity, exploring an Ice Spirit's lair. The Ice Spirit, however, seems to be quite territorial and unwelcoming."

The revelation hung in the air, leaving a silence that echoed with unspoken worries. The dangerous allure of Purgatory and the enigmatic Ice Spirit painted a daunting picture. Yet, in the face of uncertainty, Lyon's unwavering demeanor hinted at a resolute determination to navigate the challenges that lay ahead.

The group, now assembled in Lyon's makeshift kitchen, found themselves at the crossroads of another adventure. The aroma of the culinary creation served as a backdrop to the unfolding discussion, blending the mundane with the extraordinary. At that moment, they were not just warriors or adventurers; they were a close-knit group facing the mysteries of their interconnected destinies.

As Lyon plated the meal with a practiced hand, Cecile took charge of the impromptu strategy session. "Ice Spirits are formidable beings with innate control over ice and frost. They can freeze entire landscapes and wield ice as a weapon. It's essential to approach them with caution, as they guard their territories fiercely," Cecile explained, her sharp mind providing a quick overview of the potential challenges Harvestasya might face.

Selena, her hand still resting on the hilt of her sword, listened intently before interjecting with a direct question, "What about Maria? Did Harvestasya mention anything about her?"

Lyon, however, shook his head, a furrow forming on his brow. "I didn't get the chance to ask. The connection was severed before we could delve into that topic," he admitted, a tinge of frustration evident in his voice.

Cecile, normally composed, displayed a flicker of concern. "Our priority is Harvestasya's safety, but we can't overlook the potential implications for Maria. Once we gather more information on the Ice Spirit and ensure Harvestasya's well-being, we'll focus on finding Maria. We need a comprehensive plan," she emphasized, her mind already working on strategies to tackle the dual challenges.

The kitchen, filled with the enticing aroma of Lyon's culinary skills, became a temporary command center. Shadows played on the walls as the group deliberated, the gravity of their mission sinking in.

The aroma of Lyon's culinary expertise lingered in the air as the group gathered around a well-laid table. Lyon and Liu had seamlessly transitioned from warriors to chefs, an unexpected but welcome interlude in their ongoing quest. Cecile, ever the strategist, contemplated their next moves while enjoying a bite of the delicious meal Lyon had prepared.

Kesya, with her usual enthusiasm for both food and conversation, interjected after a satisfying gulp, "You know, with all the destruction and miracles that we left, it's quite odd that Big Sis Maria is not unveiling herself."

Karina, savoring a forkful of Lyon's creation, nodded in agreement. "I've been pondering that too. We've practically flared our name in every level of Hell, well, except one."

Cecile, her expression a mix of concern and contemplation, sighed. "It is indeed perplexing. Maria's absence in the wake of our actions is conspicuous. We've made a significant impact, and by all accounts, she should have taken notice."

Lyon, who had been quietly observing the conversation, chimed in, "Perhaps she's deliberately staying hidden, observing from the shadows. There might be reasons we're not aware of, and Maria has always been shrouded in mystery."

"But the opposite could happen, Big Sis Maria might be in captivity or in danger." The atmosphere in the room shifted as Liu, often the one to inject levity into any situation, spoke up with a touch of solemnity.

"Liu!" Kesya protested, her pout evident, attempting to dispel the serious tone that had settled over the table.

Cecile, the pragmatic strategist, nodded in agreement, her expression reflecting a mixture of acknowledgment and concern. "Liu is right, Kesya. We can't overlook the possibilities. Maria has always been adept at navigating the shadows, but the unexpected can occur, especially in Hell. We need to consider every scenario."

Selena, her piercing gaze focused on the discussion, added, "Liu raises a valid point. Maria's silence may indeed signify trouble. We should remain vigilant and gather intelligence as we proceed."

Lyon, who had been quietly observing the exchange, interjected with a measured tone. "Until we have concrete information, we can't jump to conclusions.

The group, momentarily caught in the gravity of the discussion, continued their meal with a heightened awareness of the potential challenges awaiting them. The unspoken understanding among them echoed in the subdued atmosphere—their journey through Hell was fraught with uncertainties, and each revelation had the potential to reshape their course.

As Lyon served another dish, the clinking of cutlery and the subdued conversation resumed, each member of the group contemplating the intricacies of their mission. The shadow of Maria's mysterious absence lingered, adding an undercurrent of urgency to their quest.

In the midst of their shared concerns, the unwavering resolve that bound them together remained unbroken. The journey through Hell, with all its complexities and unknowns, pressed on, fueled by the collective determination of the group to uncover the truths hidden within the shadows.

Cecile, with a thoughtful expression, raised her brows and addressed Lyon, "Lyon, do you remember the soul-strengthening pill?"

Lyon raised his brows as he paused the dance of the cutlery above his plate.
