A/N: was going to wait until tomorrow to release this chapter, but no. I think this is the scene everyone waited for, including me. Triple updates don't hurt anybody.

Y/n pov:

We had rested for some minutes, and now we all stood around the compass.

Aether supported me as I was still in a weak state and both Xiao and Yelan had to channel the compass.

"Paimon's so nervous..." I heard Paimon mutter.

Yanfei looked at Yelan and Xiao, "How are we looking?" She asked them.

"I'm all set."
"I'm ready."
They both answered almost immediately.
Probably eager to get out.

"Oh by the way Yanfei, I'm afraid you probably won't be able to take the compass out of here. " Yelan said.

Aether then mentioned he was attacked by a giant snake, and Aether was surprised to find that Yelan had saved them without them knowing.

After a small conversation, we decided to get ready.

Yelan spoke, "Shinobu, take care of your boss, Traveler, take care of Master and Paimon, Yanfei, you might want to come closer to me when the time comes." She informed, making sure no one was left behind.

And then, Xiao and Yelan walked closer to the compass.

Shinobu held Itto tightly.
Paimon stayed close to Aether, who was holding me tightly against him.

Yelan and Xiao started channeling the compass.

Then Yelan started, "stars align, bestow your light, evil purged by thunder's might. Spirit curbed, pneuma surge. By dictum divine, heed these words, do as I command!"

And then a strong blue light flashed from the compass and surrounded us in a beautiful hue of blue.

I noticed Xiao looked over at me, he gave a a comforting look as if saying, 'don't worry'.

"It lit up!" Paimon yelled happily.

"The fanatic compass is an amplifier, maintain this level and we may stand a chance." Yanfei said.

Everyone looked around, hoping to get out and see the real sky again.

Xiao spoke, "I will maintain the energy flow."

I looked over at him and gave him a nod.

Although I didn't want him to use his mask, I wanted to get us all out.

"Understood." Yelan said and stepped away, and towards me. She made sure to stand near me.

"Everyone, stand back." Xiao warned.

As he used his powers the light got stronger and then blinded us all, except Xiao who maintained the energy flow.

A voice then echoes around the space we were in.

"I shall hold the line while sealing the surface!" It was Bosacius.

"As Yakshas, we must fight for this world." This time it was Xiao's voice echoing.
