Chapter 36 - 36: Snowball?

Cell shouted as her body started to become transparent and her first was replaced by a blue jelly-like body. He can see through her now…

"What? Is this the legendary Virtual body of the Astral Race?" The person in red robes was shocked after seeing her transformation.

Celli didn't pay any attention to the man as her hand stretched toward Robert, White Fang and Slither.

She didn't know why she chose to help them … She is confident to escape alone even if the man tries to stop her.

But she didn't do it. Although their meeting was small she felt that they are good at the time when the snowball died and she could do nothing. That's why she wanted to help now.

"Naive, do you think you can escape? I would never let you achieve that." The person in red was shocked for a moment then shouted angrily. The doppelganger that pierced Robert arrived by his side instantly.

A bell appeared above its head and rushed toward Celli. Celli became alert seeing the bell and wanted to evade but it was too late as the bell arrived on top of her head.

A virtual barrier appeared around her and she was completely trapped. She tried to use Virtual Escape but was not able to because of the barrier.

"You are a rare commodity that could be sold at an auction at a high price. I don't damage you so you better stay quiet there and wait for me to finish these people." The person glared at Celli and said in a deep voice. He is done playing with these animals now he wants to finish the game quickly and go back.

He raised a hand and made a slipping motion and in the next second Slither who wanted to attack him was slammed to the ground. White Fang's house was destroyed along with the shockwave.

He looked at the surrounding forest and thought to finish this quickly.

He has already made so much commotion. if the ruler of the Dream Maple forest knows that he sneaked into his territory and caused so much commotion then it would be bad.

"You should have escaped when she said to, I am at Spirit Realm and can make a doppelganger that has the same strength as me but you didn't escape now you have no chance. I planned to keep you alive but it's not necessary anymore. I will just sell your dead carcasses." The person looked at them with indifference now that he has got an Astral race girl with such a talent there is no loss in losing some resources.

Robert didn't pay attention to him but looked at slither who was sloped on the ground. Feeling his breath he felt relieved although his body is wounded at many places it's fine as long as he is alive.

Now how to deal with this person, With a doppelganger, it's almost the same as facing two monsters.

He didn't have any plan on how to stop him.

... and he could not maintain the 'White Blow' for long as he began to lose the sensation of his hand.

So what to do?

….

White Fang was sitting on the place where the snowball disappeared and her eyes were still dull tears streamed down her cheeks she kept weeping silently.

Although she is a Core Formation her mentality is just of a kid, She cannot bear the pain of losing a friend, It's too much for her current self.

When she saw the doppelganger her heart was filled with helplessness and despair. She knew about the Spirit Realm. It's a realm above Nascent soul realm and people who attain this level are out of the league for her.

Is there nothing I can do? She kept repeating this question then she saw Celli trying to help them escape and got trapped.

She looked up and saw the person heading toward Robert whose chest is pierced.

He is going to kill him!

As soon as she thought of this her mind burst and fear disappeared and for replaced by anger.

She saw Snowball disappearing but could do nothing, now she is going to see slither and Robert die too?

No, I don't want to lose a friend again!

Thinking of this her body started to shine and she transformed into her half-Human form. The same form when she fought with the boar.

But now there is an addition to the crown on her forehead, The dim crown that was about to vanish appeared again.

The man looked at her with indifferent eyes and did, "Do you think you can stop me with just Core Formation cultivation? Don't be naive. With my doppelganger, you have to face two Spirit Realms cultivators. Do you think you can achieve that?"

"I would rather die than to see you killing my friends one after another." She looked at the person with the silver pupil and declared her resolve. She arrived by Robert's side to fight along with him.

"That spirit is indeed commendable. Since you want to die I will fulfil it. Since I cannot injure your body as it will lower your selling price, that's why I will extinguish your soul in a flash." As he said this a small pike appeared in his hand. Seeing the palm-size pike Robert didn't know how to react.

But he didn't dare to relax as Cultivators are unpredictable means.

"Before dying I will tell you this is a soul extinguishing Weapon, It can wipe out the soul in an instant of any cultivator below Spirit Realm. It's purely made from spirit stones with dozens of killing arrays inscribed on it. You should feel proud to die now." The person said proudly, This is his trump card. No one below the Spirit Realm can be alive after attacking with this.

Robert looked at the spear with apprehension he wanted to make a move before he could use the pike. He gritted his teeth and made a decision.

After saying this the man didn't talk nonsense but directly threw the pike at White Fang and Robert he wanted to wipe them out in one blow.

As for the snake, it's half-dead already; it's not a concern for him!

White Fang saw pike advancing toward her and wanted to dodge but before she could do so.

Robert arrived near the pike and swallowed it in one go. He is not stupid to do suicidal attacks but he has no choice if this weapon is as deadly as the man mention then there is a high chance that White Fang will die.

And he on the other hand has a chance of survival because he has innate talents like 'Soul Ignition' and 'Hell Furnace'.

The 'Hell Furnace' can withstand the Explosion pill so there might be a chance to contain this pike.

And 'Soul Ignition' is a soul related attack so there is a chance that it has some effect on pike…

He didn't have any basis for this judgement but it's the only measure he can come up with now to deal with the pike.

The person was dull for a second and then laughed, "Haha that's why I expect from a stupid animal instead of dodging you swallowed it. It will only delay your seat for dew seconds then you will die."

He laughed disdainfully and gave the judgement.

"Are you out of your mind, Robert?" White Fang becomes anxious after seeing this, they could have dodged the attack but he has to swallow it…

What should I do now?...

One second passed… Two seconds passed… Three seconds passed…

The man's smile started to stiffen as he looked alive at Robert in front of him.

White Fang's eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at the man and said, "Is that a fake product?"

The man's face became black after hearing White Fang. He also has this thought because no one under Spirit Realm can be alive after using soul pike.

Unless they have unusually strong souls but Robert does not have a strong soul like this….

That only leaves one option that this pike is fake… Thinking of this he felt like he has eaten shit he bought the pike at a high price and now it turned out to be fake.

It never came into his mind that pike may be real but Robert is abnormal. As the pike was contained inside his stomach by 'Hell Furnace'.

He wanted to curse the seller, Trying to sell him a fake product! He wanted to smash the person who sold him pike.

I will settle the account with him later. First I will deal with these two.

He groaned and looked at White Fang and Robert, "Looks like you cannot have a painless death but don't worry you will only experience some pain. If you want to blame someone then blame the fate for toying with you."

He wanted to attack and finish this directly and leave with Dream Maple Forest.

Spiritual Energy bushes out from his body and enveloped two of them. They tried to move but it was of no use as they could not move an inch.

"See? That's the difference between our cultivation levels. Even if you try your best you could not fill the gap between cultivation." The man mocked them without any reservation.

White Fangs eyes were filled with panic as she tried to move but could not do so.

"It's too early for you to have the last laugh, Laugh after accepting this gift from me." Robert's rolled his eyes and said.

Spiritual energy continued to condense and strengthening the golden sphere in his hand. As had already lost the feeling of his hand there is no point in holding back anymore.

In both of his hands, the sphere compressed to the size of a marble.

The energy inside the sphere is so great that he could barely control it and because of it the spiritual pressure that enveloped them also disappeared.

Robert gasped feeling the energy contained in the marble.

By analogy, If the previous sphere was a rocket then the golden marble is probably a nuclear bomb.

He gave the man a playful glance and threw the golden marble in his direction.

Then he hugged White Fang and moved toward Slither and Celli. Does he intend to kill White Fang and others with this attack? Is he desperate?

The answer is no. He did this because he was sure to escape this attack with others unharmed.

The man was dumbfounded seeing the golden marble that arrived in front of him. He subconsciously held the marble in his hand but then his face turned purple.

Weren't they piece of meat that was about to be sliced, So How can he burst out such power?

But he did not have time to contemplate as white light spread out from the golden marble and enveloped him completely.

He did not have the power to resist and got swallowed by the destructive might. In the end, a talisman appeared from his chest wrapping him like a mummy and then he disappeared from the place.

Robert peeked backwards and his soul almost escaped from his mouth. He saw white light rushing toward him.

He ran near Slither and picked him up with much difficulty.

"Snowball, You better do something otherwise we will die here," Robert shouted in panic as he looked at the white light behind him.

"Robert, What do you mean? Snowball is already dead..." White Fang was confused after she heard Robert. Her heart is filled with grief when she thinks about Snowballs death.

"Don't worry, Leave it to me. I will show you the talent I awakened." Just as she was grieving she heard the voice that made her eyes wide open.

She looked around and saw Snowball standing on Celli's shoulder intact without any Injury.

Her jaw dropped as she looked at the snowball. It's not just her but Celli too she didn't know when snowball appeared on her shoulder and how did he enter the prohibition even her innate talent, 'Virtual Escape' is useless inside the barrier.

Robert smiled with relief, " So you are alive after all."

When they were trapped by the guy he received a transmission from snowball saying that he can help them escape as he awakened an awesome talent.

At that time he thought it might be a hallucination as he saw Snowball disappearing in front of him.

But snowball started to tell about his talent that Robert believed that he is alive. Therefore he compressed the 'White Blow' and threw it at the man.

"So what are you waiting for? The attack is almost here. Use your talent and help is escape" Robert looked back and saw the attack near them.

He didn't want to die by his attack that's too miserable.

"Should I take boar with me? I want to eat barbecue.." Snowball looked at the Boar that was thrown away due to shockwave. He wanted to eat tastier food than carrots.

Celli almost staggered after hearing Snowball, This idiot at the time like this how can he think about food?

"Idiot! Do you even need to ask this? I'd you can them take it. I am not willing to waste food." Robert rolled his eyes and answered.

Celli didn't know what to say after listening to him, is this your main concern right now?

"Okay!" Snowball jumped with joy and used his innate talent in the next second all of them including Celli who was trapped inside the bell.

BOOM

After they disappeared there was a huge explosion and ground within a radius of 2 kilometres were destroyed.

After the smoke disappeared there was nothing left within the radius of 2 kilometres.. Everything vanished into smoke.
