### Chapter 363
The Most Horrific Seed.
The Kingdom of Jeblam is looking to expand its territory and swallow the world whole.
When the Most Horrific Seed reaches its igniting point, the Kingdom of Jeblam will go berserk like never before.
And the moment the Most Horrific Seed fully ignites...
The Kingdom of Jeblam will take root in the world, breaking the restraints of World Erosion.
From then on, there’s no turning back.
Until the roots of the Most Horrific Seed are pulled out, the Kingdom will absorb the world’s power and march forward relentlessly.
And right now...
Kraush was making his way through the south, passing the Rain’s Aftermath of the Kingdom of Jeblam.
The Rain’s Aftermath—just as the name suggests—was a place where it poured relentlessly, and various erosion species thrived.
At that moment, a gigantic rain giant blocked Kraush’s path.
The giant swung its fist towards Kraush.
BOOM!
The ground exploded, and the flooding water around surged up.
However, Kraush remained unfazed by the deluge.
He merely swung the Rain Thunder Prime, now engulfed in white flames.
Swish!
Kraush’s sword sliced through the water giant like butter.
BOOM!
Surrounded by a tsunami of water, the giant collapsed.
But it didn’t die; it simply was no longer in one piece.
This is why the Rain’s Aftermath is troublesome; no matter how many erosion species you take down, they just regenerate thanks to the rain.
They are an infinite, immortal army of rain!
Not to mention the sheer volume of rain pouring from the sky was thoroughly impressive.
The water quickly rose to Kraush’s waist, trying to bind his feet.
“I’ll buy time until the Most Horrific Seed ignites. Is this what I’m doing?”
A classic struggle for survival from the Kingdom of Jeblam.
If this were any other time, he wouldn’t have even thought of pushing forward in this place.
But now, despite the struggle, Kraush kept advancing.
At the center of the Rain’s Aftermath, the power of the Most Horrific Seed blooming inside was palpable to Kraush.
The Rain’s Aftermath intensified its efforts to push Kraush back.
However, Kraush’s white flames were lethal against the forces of World Erosion.
Born to repel World Erosion, the aura of his white flames was intensely powerful.
Slowly, he began to get closer to the Kingdom.
Kraush was now making his way through the waterlogged area.
The rain attempted to seep into Kraush, trying to seize control of his body.
If it succeeded, Kraush would become the top of the rain!
But no matter how much the rain tried to infiltrate him, it would ultimately just become fuel for his white flames.
It couldn’t block Kraush’s path.
Now, even the curse from the Kingdom was useless against Kraush.
“Because this is the white flame I’ve trained for this day and moment.”
A curse that he had suppressed even during his cursed days.
Now, the curse from the Kingdom felt laughable.
Still, there were some opponents that Kraush couldn’t afford to underestimate.
THUD!
The water-filled depths churned.
Kraush knew exactly what was causing the commotion.
‘Here it comes.’
Kraush quietly lifted his head.
In the dark waters, something was approaching him.
There was a humanoid figure.
It had a glowing jellyfish head that sparkled like the rain, complete with wings sprouting from its head.
Dressed in a robe mimicking a human and with elongated limbs, it radiated an overwhelmingly powerful aura of World Erosion.
The master of the Kingdom of Jeblam’s Rain’s Aftermath—Deukiora.
Deukiora silently swayed in the rain.
It seemed to be warning Kraush.
It was saying that if he advanced any further, he would die.
The entirety of the Kingdom’s power was converging at a single point.
The Most Horrific Seed was the Kingdom’s last resort for expansion.
But that didn’t mean just anyone could eliminate the Most Horrific Seed.
Especially not when the masters of the Kingdom would never let it happen.
However, at this moment, there was an adversary that could be deemed the worst possible matchup for the Kingdom.
One who could burn the Kingdom’s ultimate force, its aura, with white flames.
And one who could even devour the Kingdom’s last resort—the Most Horrific Seed.
Kraush had absorbed countless powers of World Erosion until now.
While most of that has been transformed into aura through the seasons, he could still absorb the force of World Erosion.
Of course, he couldn’t just infinitely absorb it; otherwise, his vessel would shatter.
But!
Kraush had created a new vessel through his accumulated experiences.
The skill ‘Sable.’
Like before, Kraush planned to swallow the Most Horrific Seed and burn it, storing it in Sable.
With Sable, Kraush could contain almost limitless power.
Moreover, he could convert that energy into aura using the seasons.
In that moment, all these elements combined...
Kraush had essentially become the most nightmarish enemy for the Kingdom of Jeblam.
Did the Kingdom sense this intuitively?
The Rain’s Aftermath began resorting to any means necessary.
He must not be allowed to reach the Most Horrific Seed.
The jellyfish wall blocking Kraush began to squirm.
No longer content with simply holding Kraush back, the jellyfish merged together, madly rushing to push him away.
Deukiora also began to take action.
Just as Kraush tore through the jellyfish wall...
CRASH!
Deukiora broke through the gelatinous barrier and appeared.
Amidst the gathering wings above the jellyfish head, a blue ray of light began to converge.
That was the end if it hit directly.
Realizing this, Kraush immediately ignited his entire body in white flames and pivoted his sword.
ZING!
Accompanied by a quick sound, the blue beam shot towards Kraush.
At the moment he narrowly deflected it with Rain Thunder Prime...
BOOM!
Everything the blue beam touched exploded violently.
Kraush stumbled in the aftermath of the blast, rolling through the raindrops.
At that moment, the jellyfish swarm lunged at Kraush, sensing an opportunity.
Yet the white flames pouring from Kraush incinerated them.
‘What a hassle.’
As he dealt with the jellyfish, Kraush stomped the ground.
That’s when he caught Deukiora moving again through the jellyfish wall.
WHOOSH!
As the jellyfish wall parted, Deukiora once again unleashed the blue ray.
Kraush did not parry this time; he quickly dodged aside.
BOOM!
Though the blue ray shattered the jellyfish, Deukiora remained unfazed.
It merely slipped into the sea of jellyfish and prepared to launch another attack.
So blatant with its hit-and-run tactic!
Originally, Kraush wanted to ignore Deukiora as much as possible, but...
It seemed that wasn’t an option anymore.
‘Alright, then!’
A horn began to sprout from Kraush’s forehead.
Simultaneously, scales slowly revealed themselves on his face.
‘Time to kill.’
Kraush’s white flames began to blaze even more fiercely.
He would now begin the hunt for Deukiora, the master of the Rain’s Aftermath.
