Chapter 1221: Kill 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Thank goodness the Holy Phoenix Spirit Book’s Soul Energy has an extremely short overbearing nature, or this would’ve been really dangerous,” Garen looked at the temporary yet overbearing Soul Energy that was dissipating from the Holy Phoenix Spirit Book. He was completely overwhelmed.
The unexpected change in enemy caught him unprepared, causing him to finally wake up in the world he once thought he was unbeatable.
“Void Creature is still set on me. I should’ve thought about this earlier, Void Pursuers and Void Creature attract each other like magnets. Because of the vow, I have to kill Void Creature if we ever cross paths, and it seems like the Void Creature have the similar constraints. However, where in the world did that Sin’s Authority come from?!”
Garen recounted the baffling force he felt earlier on and made some speculations.
A huge amount of Soul Energy constantly poured out of the Mind Reader and into his body, replenishing the injuries from the bites he received from the black dog earlier on. At the same time, the Holy Phoenix Demon book was recovering from the injury as well.
Bang bang bang!!
Faint gunshots could be heard from the outside and the entire Secret Chamber shook.
“Hmm?” Garen opened his eyes. “Is that… A bomb?”
Using a bomb at the Vulture Headquarter? Who would dare to break into his base?
The Holy Phoenix Demon Book’s golden energy rapidly compensated for the tormented Soul Seed and soul of Garen’s. Then, the remaining energy assimilated into his entire Soul Ring. Right then, all of the Holy Phoenix Demon’s Book golden energy disappeared completely.
“If it wasn’t for the Holy Phoenix that erupted, I’m afraid I might’ve had temporarily broken the Soul Ring already, but everything’s okay now.” The black sun pattern on Garen’s chest had completely solidified and the black lines on the Mind Reader’s chest were slowly disappearing.
Thump.
Mind Reader fell directly from Garen’s hands and fell to the ground. Though his face was pale, the fall woke him up.
Garen looked at his current situation.
His first Soul Ring had recovered and it was back to normal with just a few scars here and there on the Soul Seed but they wouldn’t make much of a difference and will go away completely after some nourishment.
The second Soul Ring had already condensed the fourth Soul Seed, all of which was colorless and transparent, not to mention full and plump. As for the fifth Soul Seed, it was already condensed for an hour an half so it was obvious that it was lacking Soul Energy.
But that was it. According to his current Status Pane, his Soul Limit had reached ninety points!!
‘Kong Xiaofei — Strength 14, agility 14, physique 16, intelligence 11. Potential 0%. Soul Limit 90.’
His average qualities had once again improved a ton.
Moreover, the two Soul Rings continued to spurt out pure Soul Energy that was at least three times stronger than the original, nourishing his entire body.
“Just one Mind Reader and I’ve gotten such huge improvements…” Garen felt good.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded from outside once again, leaving slight tremors through the Secret Chamber.
“Harrumph!” Garen strode to the outside of the Secret Chamber.
Opening the door, the sound outside was suddenly clearer and fiercer.
Hiss!!
A sharp armor-piercing round instantly hit the space between his eyebrows from the front.
“How dare you!”
Using just one arm, Garen’s right arm moved out in an indeed horrifying speed with the afterimage held in front of the opponent’s face. His palm missed and some of the bullet fragments immediately scattered into his palms.
********************
“How is this possible!!?” The leader, the man in the white windbreaker, stood far away and stared at Garen, who just walked out of the Secret Chamber and broke the armor-piercing round into pieces with his bare hands.
“How can Sin’s Authority fail?!!” He kept his eyes glued on Garen unbelievably. There was a window in the middle of the Secret Chamber which was made of high-strength glass. At this moment, the both of them were staring at each other from afar, finally recognizing both sides’ true identity.
“Void Creature!” Garen’s voice traveled through the glass and reached the man in the white windbreaker.
The man’s black eyes immediately widened.
“Retreat!!!” He shrieked. No.4 ignored the others who already rushed inside and instead turned around and started running!
In the humongous base, the entire building was round in shape. However, Vulture No.4 and the others were like a sharp saber that pierced into the center of the circle, almost entering the main building.
Although many people around could aim Vulture No.4, nobody actually dared to take a shot. After all, he was still a high-ranked person in Vulture. Those ranked above fifth had the authority and speaking rights that were extremely intimidating. So all they did was release bombs in an attempt to use the aftershock waves to form Vulture No.4 and signal Garen who was in the Secret Chamber at the same time.
At this moment, shouts of retreats could be heard from the man in the white windbreaker and Vulture No.4 immediately blanked out.
“Retreat? Are you joking me?! We’ve reached this point already and you want us to retreat?!” Ignoring the shouts, he continued to stride toward the main building.
The white main building reflected a metallic texture under the sun.
Boom!!
The door suddenly crashed open and flew out from the inside, slamming into No.4 and the others.
The dark-eyed lady stepped forward and sneered as she held out her hand to block No.4.
“What are you afraid of? Garen was definitely tortured by that thing till…”
Bang!!
Without even finishing her sentence, the lady was knocked down by something like a locomotive. Four jet tubes opened behind her and started emitting white gas but it did not help the matter at all. The massive force continued pushing her backward.
Along the way, she knocked dozens of people onto the ground and they all started howling in pain as they injured themselves.
“This is!?!!” No.4’s expression changed as he backed away swiftly.
But it was too late.
A strong figure rushed out the door like a railway train, crashing into the front of his body.
Bang!
“You dare kill me!!?” No.4 felt as if he was just crushed by an elephant as he got hit by the massive force, not being able to resist. As his body suspended in the air, he screamed furiously before he was grabbed by the neck and pulled back by a gigantic hand.
Looking from above, the entire No.4 army could only see that he was hit by a white figure. With a boom, they were utterly routed and thrown off their feet. The strongest No.4 and the dark-eyed lady were knocked away directly, thrown away and rolled around like wooden blocks before being caught once again.
Garen was dressed in all white as he grabbed Vulture No.4 by one hand.
“Too weak!”
He shook his head lightly.
Hiss!
No.4 turned red and could not speak, but all of a sudden, uncountable Steel Balls exploded out from his body. It was as if a large number of Steel Balls were installed in his body beforehand.
With a boom, the huge amount of Steel Balls turned into a grey shadow that shrouded Garen.
Buzz buzz, all the Steel Balls seemed to connect and started a light blue arc.
“Ten Million Volts!!” No.4 started laughing wildly. “You dare to humiliate me, die!!!”
To be grabbed by the neck in front of so many people, it was an insult simply worse than a lifelong vengeance! If he did not get his face back, he would have no more face to continue staying in Vulture!
“What a boring show off,” Garen’s empty left hand disappeared as fast as lightning.
Swoosh!
The front of his body opened up like a peacock spreading its feathers. In an instant, hundreds of limbs appeared in the air and swiftly merged into one single palm.
Crack.
He then squeezed all the Steel Balls together, twisting them into a clot of steel waste before dropping it on the ground.
No.4 was stunned as his teeth began to tremble.
This sort of critical ability using just his flesh was no longer humane. This was practically the same mythical powers as the Four Great Cornerstones.
“No!! I was forced…”
Crack!
Garen straight away broke his neck, causing mists of blood to explode from his hand. He did not even care that spatters of blood sprayed onto him.
Like a duck that broke its neck, No.4’s head and body were separated right away, both pieces fell to the ground. The gleaming white tube still had a constant stream of air.
“He really killed No.4!?”
“I don’t want to die!!”
“Retreat! Retreat!” The subordinates behind No.4 had yet to react and Garen had already broken No.4’s neck alive. Disregarding No.4 or anything else, he had directly killed a high-ranked Vulture. The crowd immediately backed away frantically.
Even Garen’s direct subordinates in the base were silent and did not know what to do.
As a top-five Vulture, he killed a same high-ranked person without the approval of No.1. Was Garen trying to start a rebellion?!
Regardless of any rules or ethics, No.1 had to immediately execute Garen. Otherwise, without the application of rules, the entire organization would be a mess.
Did Garen not know about such consequence?
Of course, he knew. However, he had reached such a level, what could possibly threaten him? Even if Sea God nourished under both of his big Soul Rings, it was still not enough to surpass him.
Garen himself was already enraged by the sneak attack earlier. At this moment, he could still hear No.4’s screams. He might have used too much force accidentally, then… There was no more.
No.4 died right away. So unexpectedly fragile.
The dark-eyed lady backed away with fright, then turned around and started running.
From Garen’s appearance all the way to him killing him, everything lasted less than five seconds. The situation reversed instantly. She had suspected Garen to fail, so she must now face her anger. A Demon Lord Class Void Pursuer! The victory and loss scale was completely balanced!
“You want to leave?’ Garen turned his attention to the lady and the man in the white windbreaker.
The latter was already a distance away whereas the lady was still right before him. It was evident that she was possessed by Void Creature. As a Master-level powerhouse of controlling dreams, it was effortless for Void Creature to hypnotize a person through dreams and achieve his purpose of manipulating the person at the same time.
Stepping on his foot, he dashed forward. He was twice as fast than the lady and soon enough, appeared in front of the lady as if he had teleported.
With a stretch of his arm, he grabbed the lady’s neck directly.
“Stop!!” A loud rumble thundered in the distance. It was the voice of an old woman.
Garen’s arm shuddered slightly before reaching forward for a grab.
He suddenly saw a trace of rejoice in the lady’s eyes. Obviously, she still had someone to rely on. Just that things had reached this point already so who knew what kind of wildcard did the other person had.
“You can’t kill me!” The lady recovered slightly from the terror, allowing Garen to grab her neck. She was soon lifted into the air.
“Can’t kill you?” Garen tilted his head and looked at the brigade that just rushed in from the gate far away.
No.2, the elderly woman with her walking stick in her hand, rushed in with a brigade. They crowded around the soldiers of the base. As No.2, she was basically the absolute Ruler of the entire Vulture. At times when No.1 did not show up, she had the final say.
“I say, stop it!” No.2 shouted. “Garen, she’s not an ordinary lady! Are..”
Garen’s other hand went straight into the lady’s chest, blood spattered all over him.
He turned his head and looked at the elderly woman.
“What did you just say?” Garen responded with a slight smile on his face. It did not seem like he just killed someone, but instead, he was just watering plants.
No.2 paused with a stagnant look, her face instantly paled. The following words were suddenly cramped inside her, unable to be spoken.
