‘Could it be?’ Michael asked himself inwardly.
Indeed, it was as Michael speculated. The Malignant Emperor knew who to target.
The Malignant Emperor only targeted those that did not have a defense talisman. Then after, attacking them, it began attacking the ones remaining.
Of course, seeing that the spear did not attack him, Michael flashed away and had decided to attack Lily while the spear is busy dealing with the other.
For the second time, Michael pointed at Lily as he began casting the same spell the same as the one that he had cast towards the man a while ago.
However, contrary to his expectation, as he did so, the Malignant Emperor took another maneuver and flew to defend Lily.
The Spirit Benders’ spell hit the Malignant Emperor. As a result, the Malignant Emperor became sluggish for half a second.
Although it was just for a brief second, Michael noticed it. And, with that, he found a way to counter the Malign
As the lightning hit Michael. He disappeared from his position and appeared a hundred meters away.However, an illusory nightgale flew towards him as he reappeared.“FUC...”The timing is very ‘coincidental’. He could only curse as another one of his precious defensive talisman is spent.“…CKKKK!”He reappeared in another location but then again, there is another illusory nightgale flower flying towards him.Now, he did not think that it is a coincidence. He knew it was not.He had heard of the persons who could see a speak of the future. They were called oracles. Even the prestigious binders are warry of them but he did not expect that there is one in the Oblivion Empire.It is not a secret that the oracles are in the Golden Empire. However, for some reason, they did not seem to want to ascend in the Upper Realm.But right now, he did not know what to believe. Right in front of
He arrived with a rip in the sky. Then, he fell like a stone.Fortunately, a fisherman saw him and took care of him.“Young man, we’ve caught many fishes today, eh?” the fisherman remarked.“Indeed, uncle Vince. Heavens had favored us,” that is Red’s remark whenever he would become fortunate.Red looked fine and strong. However, he knew that he was not. He did not have much strength right now.His power is sealed for some reason. Red speculated that it must be because of his injury but he did not have a solution to this.At the same time, every night he could not sleep and would feel a throbbing pain deep in his soul. Red knew that his injury is not that simple.First of all, the way the fisherman healed him is primitive. Why is it so? Because the fisherman is a normie. He did not have mana nor know how to control elements and such.Also, Red was currently in the backwater area. Even Rocky, i
The time that Red spent on the Lower Realm had been a long time.A year had passed. However, Red’s injuries still did not have any improvement.At this time, Red is in the city to market the fishes that he caught while the old man, Red did not know where is he.This past year, the old man would often disappear and Red did not know where he was. But Red did not care. After all, no danger popped out in his foresight.Indeed, Red still has his foresight. But it is not as strong as before.He could not control what he wanted to see. He could only wait passively for a vision.However, his visions are very short and oftentimes useless. But still, it is a vision, a foresight.Meanwhile, as Red is strolling the city, he saw a familiar man driving a horse. While the horse is carrying goods on its back.The man is wearing a straw hat.Although Red did not see the man’s face, the man gives off a familiar aura.Re
The time for the recruitment had arrived.Just a while ago, Red and Azrail are queueing for the registration.One the registration process, they needed to pay some silver. Then, they will be given a number.Their number will determine their opponent.It is unknown how the management matches them. However, if they encounter a strong opponent and lost, they could only say that they are not fated for the recruitment.But, among all the participants, Red and Azrail are sure that they could enter the top 20.Thus, the fight began.Red and Azrail are rather bored. This level of battle is not much for them.After all, they had already been beyond this level of strength in the past. If they are not injured, they would not even be here.Both of them should be in the Upper Realm. However, thanks to their thing with the Teleportation Platform this place would witness their battle.…The sun is about to set, Red
“I was once in power, young man,” the old man Vince answered, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Red.“However, I lost everything just to gain nothing.”“I lost my life. I lost my youth.”“For that power, I sacrificed many things. However, in the end, my sacrifices are all for naught.”Red remembered the words of the old man back then.It seemed that the old man’s desire for power is not quenched, however, the old man knew that he is no longer young.Unlike Red, he no longer had a chance to reach the peak. Furthermore, he no longer has his power. His chances and talent have been worn out.As he looked at Red. He could see a valorous young man who could topple mountains and split seas.“I will help you, however, you need to find how to enter the imperial palace on your own.”After the old man said that, he took his bag from his side and put it on hi
The recruitment process was sped up by the empire. Azrail was fetched by the soldiers sent by the city mayor.As for Red, the soldiers fetched him but he was not there. After catching fish, Red went and sell them and he got a rather big profit.‘What is wrong with these people? It seemed that something big is happening. Is it because the old man did something big?”The Red concluded many things. He was not sure what is happening in the city. Also, he did not know if this are the doing of the old man.However, he did not care if he can go back to the Upper Realm as per the plan of the old man Vince.The truth is, Red is planning to sell a few weapons to earn a few mana crystals. Unfortunately, he could no longer do what he is planning to do.Meanwhile, recruitment had become less strict.Thus, Red and Azrail are in for the final round.How many rounds are there?Red did not know and he did not care. For him, i
“City master, how long would it take to reach the capital?” Red asked.“After three more days, we will arrive at the next city. Then, in there, we will be using the public Teleportation Platform to the capital.”As the others heard what the city master had said, aside from Red, they were pumped up.It is their first time using a Teleportation Platform.“It is rumored that with a Teleportation Platform, one could travel to anywhere he wants.” One from the group said in curiosity hoping that someone would retort him.“Bumpkin, that’s not how it works,” one with a decent look and is suspected to have come from a rather wealthy family said.He, then, explained with an expression like a saint, “to travel using a Teleportation Platform…”Looking at them, both Red and Azrail are amazed. Especially Red. He could see himself in them his expression back when Lily and his u
As Red walked towards the Teleportation Platform, he had discovered that the platform is unique.This platform would only lead to one destination even if one used an Authorization Token.In the end, Red could not help but comment, “this Teleportation Platform is weird.”However, in the next second, his eyes widened that there is the same talisman in the knowledge from the previous master of the Galleon of Destiny.“Platform Altering Talisman?” the city master said.Indeed, it was as Red had thought.The effect of the talisman is irreversible. Once it was there, the only way to reverse it is to carve the runes of the Teleportation Platform again.However, Red did not do so. Instead, he used his physical strength as a stage one body refiner to destroy it. After that, he stored the pieces of the Teleportation Platform in his spatial dimension.“Fuck, why did you do it?” the city master asked.
180 The Truth And How It EndsWhen Red disappeared he has emerged with the memories of this world. He saw how the world was birthed and how it nurtured its inhabitant.At first, the world is just an energy. However, it attracted the other energies and absorbed them until it become big.Then, the first life form was birthed. This life form is the simples form of life. It did not have a mind but was not sentient.All it knew it to eat and reproduce. Further than that, the creature did not know it.Meanwhile, as time passes by, the first creature had evolved.For thousands to millions of years, they evolved, and finally, some gained sentient.After a billion years, the first human had appeared. At this point, the most intelligent creature is the humans. However, they are weak.It was like a character from a video game that had high intelligence but low physic.Red waited for a long time to see them evolve. However, their ev
Whoosh!In the next second, there is another World Pillar heading towards the Threads of Fate.There’s no doubt, this is indeed the Pillar of Wood that the Tree of Knowledge is holding into.Since the two binders are dead, he no longer has use for the Pillar of Wood. Thus, he might as well return it to where it would be useful.Tink!Indeed, with the addition of another World Pillar, the Threads of Fate had its power become a bit stronger.“So, that’s how it is. The fate is akin to a net while the elements are its pillars.”Red understood the further the fate.“It has control over everything. If not for me, the eye would have not entered. There shouldn’t have any trouble like this.”“Is this why it was trying its best to control me?” Red asked himself.At this point, his fragile heart was pierced. However, he gritted his teeth and he was even more determined to
Kring! It took only a moment of the eye to remove the shackles unto itself. Fortunately, the Threads of Fate is a sturdy thing, Meanwhile, the pupil of the one gigantic eye glowed and launched a concentrated beam towards him. Pfft! Red flashed, but he underestimated the beam. He was hit by the shockwave and gained some injuries that were healed in a matter of seconds. However, before Red could get a breather, another beam was launched towards him. “This Bastard.” This time, he had learned his lesson. He flashed at the same time that the beam was launched. This simple action is not simple at all. It is hard to predict when will the beam be launched. If he flashed ahead of time, the eye will definitely hit him. At the same time, it was also the same if he is a bit late. Fortunately, Red had foresight. Pfft! Then again, there is another one. And again, Red dodged. This went on for a while. T
177 Ten years had passed but the war is still not done. However, the result of the war could now be seen. The forces of the Threads of Fate had already suffered an overwhelming defeat. A bit more and they will finally be defeated. Indeed, after another year, the forces of the Threads of Fate are now wiped out. However, just like normal times, the war would always be cruel. Both sides suffered many deaths. At the same time, although Red’s forces won, they are not in a good mood. They are grieving for their dead companions and family members. “Everyone, the war has always been cruel. However, I would like to express my sincerest apology. If not for me, none of them should have died in this manner.” At this time, Red is not merely talking. This is indeed what he felt. However, he knew that he cannot afford to make their sacrifices useless. He had to finish what had been started. He needs to defeat the Threads of Fate and l
Red managed to defeat the binders; however, he still has one enemy left, which is the Threads of Fate. “The binders are dead. Time for me to face the Threads of Fate.” Of course, Red knew that he cannot be carefree in dealing with the Threads of Fate. It was, after all, a very powerful Divine Weapon. Or perhaps, it even surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon. Of course, whether it really surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon or not, Red would not know. At this moment, the Token of Fate in his spiritual space vibrated as it wanted to leave. “Eh?” Seeing that, Red took it out. Then, in the next second, the vibration becomes a lot more intense. After which, an illusory figure of a middle-aged man appeared. The man is not someone familiar to him. At the same time, he doubts that the man is from the current era. “Hmm.” The man looked up and scrutinized the sky. “It had already reached to this degree?
“Haha! Old man, are you afraid that I will be able to learn your spell again?”Red taunted the old man with joy.Of course, it had an effect on the old man.“I don’t believe you can learn this.”After the old man said that, a series of spells were cast towards Red.The old man’s solution is simple. If Red cannot survive his attack, he cannot learn the spell and would die instead.However, to his surprise, Red appeared at his back and commended him.“Woah, that’s a lot of spells.”Red’s eyes were gleaming.“Old man, how generous of you.”Cough!As the old man heard that, he coughed out blood. Although he knew that Red can learn his spells, he did not expect that his trick would be useless against Red.“How did you…”The old man wanted to ask him how is he unscathed but Red silenced him but showed a Black
“Void!”The Shade Binder did not hesitate to cast his spell towards the tree of knowledge. He is intending for him to die.His eyes turned Black akin to a black hole. Then, from within, all that he saw would be engulfed by shadows and disappear.“Tree, if we had been on the same side, I would not be killing you. However, in consideration that you are against me, you will die. I will burn your branches to ashes.”Despite the taunting of the Shade Binder, the Tree of Knowledge is not a Tree of Knowledge for nothing. Just like an old man that was full of knowledge, the three of knowledge are calm and patient at all times.“Blood Forest!”It counter-attacked the spell of the old man.In an instant, the surrounding of the Tree of Knowledge turned into a forest of blood. Scarlet trees and scarlet grasses grew.Then, in the next second, the grasses turned into blades and flew towards the old man cou
At this moment, Red’s talent in forging was displayed by the extraordinary abilities of the weapons that he had forged.With the weapons, on their hand, it was rather easy for them to brave their ordeal.Meanwhile, the Galleon of Destiny also kept attacking some of the weavers making them into the passive side. At the same time, those that were targeted by the Galleon of Destiny will either be injured or dead.At this time, Luna had decided to join the fray. Thus, she sat cross-legged and took out the weapon that Red forged for her. It was like an orb. Then, on a closer look, one could notice that it has patterns akin to the moon.Unlike the weapons of the five, hers did not need physical contact. All it needed is to control it from her visions.With a thought, the moon orb flew out of the Galleon of Destiny and into the sky.As it rose higher, it also grew bigger. Then, when it reached a certain height, it could already block th
“Hmm?”In the respective ships that the two binders used to chase the Galleon of Destiny, the binders noticed the disturbance in the atmosphere.It’s not that they have a very keen sense, but rather, the Threads of Fate notified them. Red’s breakthrough is a thing that the Threads of Fate will not allow.Why? The two binders also did not know. And, there is nothing they can do about it.Well, they are hoping that the Time Binder will let them know; however, they cannot support Red because they are under the control of the Threads of Fate. Furthermore, they also want to break free from the Threads of Fate but the key to their shackles is in the Galleon of Destiny which was owned by Red, the heir of the Time Binder.Indeed, their situation is very complicated. But the most significant thing is that they can do nothing against the Threads of Fate.The Threads of Fate is absolute with its things.A/N: oh, well, per
