‘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.
