Chapter 395: Owner of the crystal (3)

rumble

The Pompeion Empire.

In a terrace high up in the clouds.

The emperor spoke to Sangjin with a worried expression.

IsIs the crystal inside that place really impossible to acquire?

The emperor looked towards the territory of Reyunion with a frown.

Of course.

The Pompeion Empire had taken over half of the planet with only one relic.

The same for the Neropa Union as well.

If they didnt have the relic as well, then they wouldve long been defeated.

But how sad was it that such a relic was lying around in some wasteland?

Although they couldnt use the <Flame> inside that place

There were countless other methods to acquire it if they wanted.

For example, if he asked this man, Sangjin, then he would easily sweep that place up in a single day and bring it back.

What a pity Such a pity

If he could acquire that, his plans would come to fruition much quicker.

Sanjin replied:

Acquiring it isnt hard.

Hmm. Then

But.

Before the emperor could finish his words

Sangjin cut him off and spoke as he stared into the emperors eyes.

I guarantee you this: you will lose more than you could even dare to imagine if you take that crystal out.

Youre saying this despite knowing of my strength?

The Emperor glanced below his terrace and mumbled.

The thousands of ships and his swarm of Dragon God Soldiers.

A force large enough to flip the entire world upside down a couple of times.

There were only a few people who could threaten him.

The Neropa Union?

Although they were going against him now, they were a joke.

They could not make him feel fear.

Sangjin continued to speak as he looked at the confident expression of the emperor.

I know very clearly.

About the things inside there as well.

Sangjin thought of the crystal he had to give up.

Kiriel frowned as she listened to N-Aroels words.

He came to take the crystal?

N-Aroel, the Nerpa, ignored her reaction and looked at the crystal.

It was one of the controllers that the overseer had left so they could control the <Flame> with more ease.

It seems this will be easier than I expected.

The Nerpa smiled as he thought of the scene hed witnessed from above.

The other two crystals had so many forces around it that even he wouldnt dare to approach it.

But this crystal only had one alien protecting it.

Time to finish this up.

The Nerpa ignored Kiriel as he walked towards the Crystal.

And as he did this

oooooooong

as if it were resonating with the Nerpa, the crystal started to make a strange noise.

Just as if it had found its missing half.

Yes, yes. It has been a while.

But as the Nerpa was about to touch the crystal

pakakakakak!

a huge crevice appeared between the Nerpa and the crystal.

If the Nerpa hadnt pulled back his arm, then he wouldve lost his fingers.

Hmm Why are you interfering? When Im just here to take back my own belongings?

Kiriel, who had swung her fang to attack the Nerpa, smiled as she said:

Well, we need that as well.

Im also getting the strong feeling that the crystal should not be touched.

Kiriel felt shivers running down her back.

She had protected this place because of Hansoos words.

But the moment N-Aroel tried to touch the crystal, tremors wracked her entire body.

And she instinctively knew that she had to protect the crystal.

It was the key to holding down the mysterious beings inside the shadows.

The Nerpa sighed as he looked at Kiriel.

I really didnt want to fight since you helped me out once

His race did not enjoy fighting.

But they couldnt ignore those who messed with them, right?

Although I dont have my body

The Nerpa looked down at the body that his soul was now occupying.

A feeble body.

His powerful body that could even survive in space didnt exist anymore.

But it didnt matter.

Their powerful bodies were their pride but

Their true pride was their souls that had a special and terrifying ability.

Ill leave you alive.

rumble

The Nerpas Soul situated within N-Aroels body started shaking intensely.

..

You f***ing baastaaard!

The berserk John Stone swung his axe towards Hansoo.

whooosh!

The bright red axe continued to fly towards Hansoo.

And as Hansoos armor turned bright

boooom!

the axe and armor collided, making a huge noise.

crackle!

The axes attack was so powerful that the blue armor cracked apart.

Damn!

But John Stone didnt look pleased.

He frowned as he watched the armor regenerate, shouting:

You bastards! Hurry and attack him while I hold him down! Unless you wish to die!

At those words

the other Transcendents who had been hesitating looked around them.

At the Transcendents rolling around the floor while surrounded by red clouds.

Ahhhhhh!

Uaaaaahhh!

Countless Transcendents rolled around on the floor, screaming in pain.

Some were silent and trembled vigorously.

Some clutched at their necks as if they had drunk poison.

Every single person who had tried to fight Hansoo had turned out like this.

Dammit! Dammit!

John Stone freaked out as he looked at the people rolling around on the ground.

Feeling so terrified it suppressed his berserk mode to a degree.

But John Stone clenched his teeth and charged forward.

Bastards! Thats a skill as well! Do you think he can use it forever?! Theres a time limit! Charge and kill him!

John Stone shouted as he swung his axe.

And just like he said.

As red clouds enveloped his body

the surrounding area had turned into hell, but the reinforcements around Hansoos body had awakened.

The fact that he could actually damage Hansoo proved this.

If Hansoo had shrouded himself tightly and only focused on fighting him, then he wouldnt even be able to stand right now.

Which meant that the area next to Hansoo was the safest place.

As John Stone charged in, the surrounding 3-Star Transcendents nodded and followed suit.

Although John Stones personality was nasty, he was their leader because he always fought on the frontlines.

Although his personality was nasty and he was arrogant, the fact that he fought on the frontlines was more than enough to make him their leader.

Since he always dove into the most dangerous place by himself.

But sadly.

Their current situation really wasnt great.

booom!

Uaaaaah!

John Stone screamed as he looked at Hansoo smash the charging 3-Star Transcendents down onto the ground.

Thisthis monster!

Every time he let out more clouds, the other Transcendents rolled around in pain, and with every swing of his dragon-enforced hammer, the 3-Star Transcendents turned into pulps of flesh.

Weak points?

None.

He also had a terrifyingamountof experience and battle sense.

Dodge when needed and charge when theres a gap.

He attacked when he had to and gave up bits of his flesh when he needed to.

Possessing tremendous power and terrifying skills.

Alongside his insanely overpowered armor, he had that mysterious but insanely powerful weapon.

ThThis damned bastard!

John Stone seethed in rage as he stared at Hansoo who seemed to have learned how to massacre people from his mothers womb.

You bastard! That crystal is our only hope! Who are you to stop us from taking it?! Ahhh!

boooom!

John Stone cried out in rage as he continued to attack.

Hed learned many things as he climbed up.

He was strong.

But there were countless monsters in the world.

And those monsters had an appetite that was befitting of their power.

John Stone had felt this as he looked at Clementines forces who treated everyones lives as if they were nothing.

To not be killed by them, he needed to become strong as well.

At least to keep his underlings alive, he needed strength.

Strength to retaliate when attacked.

And the crystal was the only method he had to catch up to those running far ahead of him.

But who was Hansoo to come out of nowhere and stop him from taking this?

And he wasnt even trying to take it for himself either.

YYou bastard! If you wont let us take it, then at least take it yourself!

John Stone mourned.

Just like in the past.

If Hansoo could stand before them with this strength.

If he was stopping them because he was going to do that.

He could understand.

But what was this?

John Stone cried out tears of blood as he looked at his underlings dying around him.

And Hansoo, who had turned everyone around him immobile, suddenly stopped.

So, you had a hidden card, right?

?

As everyone looked at Hansoo mumbling strange words

booom!

Hansoo disappeared towards the hole in the distance.

HuhHuh?

John Stone was in disbelief.

Hed basically won the battle, why did he leave?

But as everyone was making confused expressions

booooom!

alongside a terrifyingly loud sound of explosion

a tremendous earthquake resonated out from where the crystal lay beneath the hole.
