Chapter 636: Terror in Fone Kingdom: You’re not from Red Matter
In an underground labyrinth in the depths of the Mirror Lake.
“Master, the preparations are complete.”
There was a round table with thirteen people sitting around it. The atmosphere around the spacious room was eerie.
“Vandal will not be able to stop me this time.”
A middle-aged man with slick back black hair and a pair of tiger ears said in a cold tone. He was the leader of the Red Matter Association, Avron Hallsmein.
The twelve people sitting around him were all his subordinates that he gathered throughout his journey.
Right now, they were preparing to fight their enemy, the Third Set of Pallas Division from Athen’s Champion. It will be a tough battle for them but they had to win this battle no matter what.
This will be their only chance.
“Our people wouldn’t be able to hold the main force of the Third Set for a long time.” A woman said while looking at him.
Avron glanced at her. “It’s fine. As long as they buy us some time then everything will be set in stone. We will not let their sacrifice be in vain.”
“We’ve received support from other organizations but I don’t think that we could trust them.” A man wearing knight armor said.
“We only trust ourselves. We can’t trust them but we also can’t deny the fact that the deal that they propose to us is beneficial to our plan. If they want to use us then we’ll use them too. It’s all for the sake of achieving my dream.”
Avron said with burning eyes. His tone was filled with desire.
…
“Hmph! I didn’t think that this would happen today.”
Alexander snorted as he looked down at the corpses beneath his feet. He had already defeated twelve people at the level of Peak S-rank.
He mercilessly killed all the people that tried to harm him. It was nothing but self defense. He didn’t want to initiate an attack because he didn’t want to involve himself in the battle between two giant organizations.
But what could he do? The people from Red Matter Association kept coming and attacked every people that didn’t belong to their group.
“They are just trying to make every people here become their enemies. They probably resolve themselves and made proper arrangements.”
Alexander turned around and narrowed his eyes. His two subordinates were still fighting One Shackle Realm experts from Red Matter.
“I don’t want to advance to Shackled Realm as I want to master some technique first but if it comes down to it… I will have no choice but to break one shackle.”
His figure disappeared. He knew that this kingdom wouldn’t be able to rise again so he had to finish some of his business here.
He will leave this place later.
Several hundreds of meters away from his previous location, Alexander arrived in front of a mansion.
This mansion was the mansion of the Dreyfus Family.
He looked around and found traces of battle everywhere. He couldn’t also sense people nearby him.
“It seems that they already left.”
He muttered as he entered the mansion. He went into the secret chambers of the Dreyfus Family that were only known by previous family heads.
It was a small land with a ten-meter tall tree and a pond beside it.
He focused his attention on the tree. Precisely, the fruits hanging on it. A super legendary high-grade mana fruit called Vine Weaver.
The Divine Phaseless Fruit that Souta got from the sub-world was also a super legendary high-grade mana fruit. If it was easy to acquire this type of fruit then almost every powerhouse would have light and dark attributes.
The mana fruit was divided into different ranks. The common, uncommon, rare, super rare, legendary, and mythical.
And the quality of each mana fruit was divided into four grades. Low, mid, high, and perfect grades.
As for the Vine Weaver fruit. It was a fruit with a huge amount of energy inside it. Once eaten, it could increase the energy output, energy capacity, and smooth energy flow of a person.
The energy inside the fruit could blow an expert at B-rank. So only people at A-rank and above could consume it.
If an expert potion master processes this fruit, they could maximize the effect of Vine Weaver fruit to create a potent potion.
“Two fruits? It’s enough for me.”
Alexander took the two fruits hanging on the tree.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook heavily as dominating best feram bore down.
Ugh!
He fell to his knees and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. The pressure quickly disappeared just like how it suddenly appeared.
“What was that?!”
He muttered in shock. He looked up and found that the entire secret chamber was going to collapse at any second.
His heart was beating wildly as he couldn’t help but remember the pressure he felt just now.
That best feram… Based on his experience in his past life, the pressure comes from a monster that reached the pinnacle of fifth stage. A level close to monster lord.
But how? There’s no fifth-stage monster here.
The pressure alone was even stronger than normal fifth stage monster. It was terrifying as he almost fainted because of it.
He trained his body intensely in the past and acquired an ability to resist high-intensity energy pressure but it was useless in front of the best feram just now.
“A lot of things are happening in this kingdom.”
A few minutes ago…
‘This guy didn’t want to buy time? Did he really think that he could kill me easily?’
Souta smirked before he waved his other hand. Countless blood-red webs formed a huge net, blocking all the escape routes of the elf called Gremina.
“Keke, I’ll take everything that you’ve got.”
Gremina laughed. His hands blurred and powerful gust of winds swept out. He cut tens of thousands of webs in just a blink of an eye.
Swoosh!
He pulled back his hand and energy swirled around his dagger.
“Take it more seriously or else it will cost you your life.”
Energy surged from his body as wind and water flew in every direction.
[Dual Element Drive: Wind and Water Force]!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Souta and Gremina exchanged blows thousands of times. Even though Souta had debuffed Gremina’s speed and buffed his own speed, Gremina was still several times faster than him.
In terms of overall stats, Gremina was higher than him.
The only thing that kept Souta was the versatility of his abilities.
Bang! Bang!
Gremina swung his dagger and Souta raised his sword to block it.
Bang!
Souta gritted his teeth as a powerful force shook his body. A ring-shaped shockwave exploded from the impact, turning his body into a stream of light, and crashing into the wall.
Crackle!!
Gremina wanted to finish Souta but he quickly looked up as he felt something wrong. He saw a sea of black lightning crackling on the ceiling.
“Keke, this is quite dangerous.”
Black lightning rained down endlessly. Sounds of explosions echoed everywhere as Gremina blocked all the lightning strikes.
Some of the lightning landed on Souta’s body, coating his energy body in dark sparks.
“Let me break you!”
Souta laughed as souls flowed into his body. It powered up every cell in his entire body making him more ominous.
[Soul Blood Mode]!
Pointing his sword ahead, Souta dashed with incredible speed.
The black lightning that was raining down couldn’t even damage him. In fact, it was a fuel that boosted his strength to a higher level.
[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!
[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!
[Sixth Form: Piercing Thunder Strike]!
Then, he added blood to the blade of his sword. The next moment, dark and light energy smoothly flowed inside it.
[Bestrou]!
“I don’t think that you could still laugh after this…”
Souta thrust his sword forward and blinding light erupted. Saya still had to help him control this energy. Although he could combine these attacks with the help of his blood, he still couldn’t master it completely.
BOOM!!
The ground shook heavily as an energy explosion filled the entire area. A bunch of machines was turned into dust and debris of rocks started to fall from the ceiling.
The underground area was going to collapse soon.
Souta narrowed his eyes as he saw Gremina’s figure.
He had bruises on his body and his clothes were torn. The left part of his chest was visible and there was a purple snake tattoo on it.
Gremina looked at him and said, “You could even damage an orange-grade equipment with that attack. The worse thing is you haven’t even used your release form.”
“You! You’re not from Red Matter Association?!” Souta stared at the tattoo on Gremina’s chest.
“Oh,” Gremina looked down and saw the tattoo on his chest. “What should I do? I can’t let other people know about it! You’re stronger than what I imagined but I have to kill you now!”
Goosebumps appeared on Souta’s body. He felt a very intense killing intent from Gremina. He was about to use his release form when…
“I can’t allow you to live anymore. I’ll end this now.”
The smile on Gremina’s face disappeared.
