Chapter 1044: Escape 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Golden Butterfly remained silent as the others cast a glance towards Garen who was standing in the middle of the group. Most of them were waiting expectantly, eagerly hoping that Coco Dart and Garen would end up defeated and wounded, along with Coco Dart’s people. With that, they would be able to disperse and escape.

“Give it to him,” unexpectedly, Garen casually blurted out.

Golden Butterfly’s expression changed abruptly as if she wanted to speak up, but then she remembered the red ring just now. They were both Level-Five Energy Machinists, yet Garen’s techniques conjured a ring way beyond a Level Five’s actual powers!

She had seen Lonray’s red ring but both were nothing similar in terms of levels.

Circumstances over character.

Golden Butterfly gritted her teeth as she held out the Thunder Snake Egg, throwing it right across.

“There!”

The second the Thunder Snake Egg was thrown out, a beam of red light flashed.

Garen drew out his sword at the speed of light.

Swish!!

Blood spattered everywhere.

Coco Dart was grabbed onto the Thunder Snake Egg blankly and a line of blood was visible on his neck.

Plop.

His head dropped to the ground.

Garen turned around with a red afterglow still flashing in his mouth and a red ring suddenly shot from him.

The red glow was fleeting. All around Coco Dart, everyone stood as still as sculptures, then fell uniformly onto the ground.

Golden Butterfly and the others felt a sudden chill rising in the atmosphere. They were confused as to how Coco Dart was not able to react in time just now and how the four fearful New-Moon leveled and Half-Moon leveled all stood still as Garen killed them. Nobody could understand.

That was because nobody could see the blue flames in between Garen’s red glow.

“Let’s go,” Garen swiftly took the Space Rings from Coco Dart and the others.

These days he had been killing so much that he had gotten bored of it. He had different quest materials taken from Space Rings and a great number of resources. Among everything, he even had several Void Amoebas which were taken from a bunch of bandits the last time he was on the road.

As for the enemy’s sect imprints, they were automatically imprinted on his own things whenever he killed someone. It was something Jedi, the supervisor of the Void Battlefields, marked on everyone when they first enter the Void Battlefields.

Whiz!

Golden Butterfly frantically caught the item as she heard the sound.

The Thunder Snake Egg was once again in her hands.

“Keep it carefully,” Garen said lightly. These kind of things were only usable for the Dragon Eye Sect people. Since he did not need it, there was no point for him to be greedy.

Especially since he found the hidden spot in the Plains of Everlasting Night, these things were worthless to him now.

Golden Butterfly nodded. She could sense Garen’s kindness as relief washed over her.

“Let’s go.”

“Senior Brother Blue Pole Star!! How did it go? Did you manage to catch that little brat!?” A disciple dressed in white asked excitedly.

The second Blue Pole Star emerged from the Space-Time Print exit, a bunch of Blue Frost Sect disciples swarmed up to welcome him. Blue Pole Star shook his head lightly, his face a pale white.

Whoosh!

He spat out a mouthful of blue blood and fell to the ground unconscious.

Everyone was shocked.

“Senior Brother!””Someone, report to the elderly! Get a medical office!!”

Among the chaos, by the edge of the Space-Time Print, a white thread-like bug vanished.

********************

The core region in the Void Battlefields far away.

“Who triggered the internal tide in the Space-Time Print… The Source Sea is actually shaking…”

“Will this affect the final outcome?” A voice sounded in the air.

“No. The tide will disappear soon, this should be just a mere coincidence,” the lady shook her head, “I will replace another Thread of Light and everything will be fine.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome. This is all to get rid of this cancerous object, I’m happy I am able to help,” the lady replied softly.

One of the snowy peaks in Scarlet Snow Sect.

Amidst the snowflakes, a black whirlpool stretched open as several figures emerged from within, landing directly on the peak of the snowy peak.

Thump thump thump!

After continuous thuds as they landed on the ground, the black hole disappeared itself.

Supervisor Jedi was standing on the ground, a meter wide pit right below his feet which was probably caused by the immense power of the black whirlpool when it brought him out.

He flew up and his eyes darted in the direction the other two were at.

Garen leaped up lightly and slowly floated from the big pit whereas Lonray was still shabbily arranging his clothes in order.

“There were so many deaths!” Jedi’s expression was as ice stone, “Your statistics have been sent to the monitoring department right away, all the numbers of Void Amoebas and opposite sect disciples death count have been reported. That’s all for the Void Battlefield’s trial this time, do immediately see the Great Elder right after you shower and rest.”

Once finished speaking, Jedi turned around and leaped again, disappearing on the spot…

“Got it,” Garen and Lonray responded at the same time.

They left in such a big group but only two of them came back alive.

Garen looked at Lonray, who returned a bitter smile wordlessly.

“Senior Brother Garen, I’ll leave first.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Garen nodded. On the way back, Lonray was one of his hostages in the group and witnessed his terrifying powers first-hand. In the sect, one would be respected by one’s strength. Therefore, Lonray addressing Garen as Senior Brother was nothing out of the ordinary.

Lonray activated his flying boots and flew downwards the hill.

Garen was left alone on top of the hill.

With his eyes scrunched up, he checked the dozen of Space Rings, wristbands and necklaces he had with him. There were at least ten of them, and these were the mass amount of resources in his slightly better Space Equipment after he removed most of the poor quality Space Equipment, or else he would have had more things.

Yet these resources were not his priority, his key item was actually the hidden spot discovered at the Plains of Everlasting Night. The hidden spot was an underground hidden spot supposedly to be discovered by an Energy Machinist later on when the Energy Machinist unintentionally follows a Void Amoeba. It was also one of the only hidden spots that Garen knew which had no defensive capability at all.

Hidden in the hidden spot was no other than the ancient gene strengthening liquid! And there were at least a few hundred units of it!

The most peculiar thing was that these things were pure liquid without any gene purifiers and could be used as Genetic Potion for pure plans to form new gene modification liquid.

However, what Garen valued was not this feature, but the strengthener created with ancient techniques which would be able to strengthen the genes and blood in his body, this was the main point he was interested in.

With that thought, Garen flew downwards from the hill. After these few days, the investigation on Ron Barlow’s death should be almost done and he was curious how it had gone, but all those were not important. A dead prodigy was worth nothing, only an alive person was capable to acquire more resources.

This was what people live by in the Scarlet Snow Sect.

Garen was sure that even if the Elders managed to find out that he murdered someone, they would not make a move straight away. He was recommended by Third Senior Sister plus he was rising up extremely quickly, he was practically the second fastest progressor in the entire Scarlet Snow Sect, second only to Carthage. The Great Elders would not simply pick on him with these sort of qualifications.

The most important thing was that he had to convert everything he had in his hands at the moment into resources that he could use later on. Money could not be turned into power, that would be called as waste rather than money.

If he wanted to avoid the catastrophe ten years later and widely expand his interests, the only way was to keep strengthening himself. Power is equivalent to everything.

Four-Star Alliance.

Clint and the others were trudging miserably under the hot sun, forwarding among the ruins. They had been among these abandoned ruins for over a month. There was nothing here, only the wilted remnants left by the years.

The old high-tech base only had a few machines which were still able to operate while the others were just scraps.

“Red Moon Boss, how are we going to get out of here?! We’ve been here for at least a month and we’re almost out of food and water!” Clint complained loudly.

“This is a cursed land. There’s an ancient family here that inherited one of my old wings — Pole East,” Red Moon muttered. “From the looks of it, they’ve been aimed ever since I have fallen.”

“There’s no breathing creature over here, who knows how long would it take for us to get out of this remain,” Baylon continued mumbling. “I tried checking but the server is completely cut off from the outside world here. In other words, we are basically trapped here with no way to get out,” she said with slight disappointment. Although it was an order from Lord Red Moon, she would rather find her own family first, her brother. However, she could not do anything now, after all, she was forced to escape.

This was the sad part of the Royal Star, their powers heighten drastically but once they leave their Mechs, they become ordinary people, completely powerless against Pilots.

Red Moon exhaled heavily.

“The Pole East family used to be my right-hand man. Who would’ve known people like them who used to dominate the entire planet would fall to this point. Let’s head to the underground ruins, perhaps we may find something edible. Their Pole East blood is also known as the Snow Dragon Rat blood which is similar to hamsters, which have the habit of hiding things underground.”

Clint sighed helplessly and looked up at the hot sun above again.

“Why are we here again!”

“To find my other wing,” Red Moon replied. “If we can find my other wing, then it’ll be faster to find my other parts and slowly rebuild my body. By then, I’m sure I’d be…””Beaten up again,”

Clint could not resist to butt in.

“You little brat!!!” The Red Moon responded angrily, ” If that bastard didn’t ambush us earlier, I would’ve…!!!”

“Still be beaten up again.”

Clint pouted as he stared at the pendant lying on his chest sadly, “Stop it, we’ve already seen what happened back there.”

“Ah ah ah ah!!!!!” Red Moon was furious now.

Clint dragged along Baylon out of habit as they continued on their way.

The sky was gradually darkening so Clint started searching for a place to rest beside the mountain ruins.

Suddenly, Baylon saw something bright far away, something blue.

“What is that” Baylon pat on Clint’s shoulder as Clint was setting up the tent.

“Huh?”

Clint turned around and he, too, saw the slightest glimmer of blue light far away among the ruins.

They were currently in a forest midway up the hill. There was a small hut which seemed to be a supply point for mechanical equipment, but it was still enough for two to rest.

Meanwhile, the shining place originated from the black ruins below the hill.

“Brother…”

All of a sudden, a voice could be heard from afar. It sounded young and innocent, just like a little kid’s voice.

“Is someone talking?” Clint could hear it as well, “Should we go check it out?” He looked at

Baylon who nodded at him.

“Who knows, we might bump into someone. Let’s go,” Baylon was a kind person. “If it’s someone who lost their way here, we’d able to help out.”

“The main thing is we can get more information about this place from the person,” Red Moon responded.
