Chapter 977 A Weird Terrifying Face With A Helmet!

I got such a threatening feeling? I wasn’t easily scared by anything! And that meant whatever these things were, they were quite dangerous without doubt.

“Are these…” I asked, and she nodded.

“We got to lose many while moving these out here,” she said in a bitter tone, “but luckily these things didn’t explode even when getting hit with our tools.”

“What are… These?!!” Lily finally got over her shock as she turned to watch the two of us.

“Another deadly weapon of ours,” I said, “we got another piece, and it’s quite interesting,” and I ended my words with such wide laughs before landing my chariot close to these ores.

In my eyes, they weren’t ores, they were pieces of mass destruction weapons.

They were deadly grenades, enough to sweep away huge spaces of land with them.

“Wait here,” I got that getting these ores would be quite challenging and risky for them. So I jumped down, and fell just next to the big pile of these ores.

The ores weren’t in equal or regular sizes. It seemed they got mined and were left without any handling for fear of getting exploded.

I saw as small as a tiny grain of sand and as large as a huge rock!

Once I fell on the ground, I got hit by one of the energy arcs coming out from these ores.

It was pale yellow in colour. And once it hit me, I felt like I got slammed with a great force. I stood just outside the reach of my chariot’s shield as I wanted to experience this feeling.

“Pretty intense for such a dormant state!” I laughed. The more violent they were in such form, the fiercer they’d be when getting in touch with my technique.

I resisted the itch to try one out. After all, I wasn’t sure on how grand scale this explosion would be.

“Come inside,” as I stepped forward, more waves came from these ores as if they felt my presence and threat.

However, using my cultivation power was enough to push these waves away and let me finally touch these ores.

They felt hot, as if they were embers or something. However they failed to cause a single wound over me. And I started to take them inside my inventory.

It took almost an hour to empty this place of all ores. Once done, I turned to see the stupefied looks over the two girls’ faces.

“What?” I asked once I returned back on top of my chariot.

“You… You didn’t see it, right?” Lily turned to Angelica, and the latter sighed.

“The more I learn about you, the more I know I just scratched the surface.”

“What are you two talking about?” I was puzzled. I just took away these ores, nothing else.

Why the heck did these two act as if they saw a monster or something?

“He didn’t realise it!” Angelica exclaimed in surprise while Lily explained what was going on.

“You showed something… When you got hit by these energy arcs, your body shone in black light and a fog emanated from you…”

“Fog? From my body?!” I turned around and checked, but nothing was there.

“It appeared with each energy clash with you, and vanished once the energy wave moved past you,” Angelica pointed at the air behind me and added, “it was… A fierce face of some sort of giant, wearing a scary helmet and got two eyes shining in pure red light.”

“And it kept grinning in a way that made me feel like death was gazing up at me,” Lily added and the two girls nodded to each other, as if they shared the same weird experience.

“This… Are you sure it wasn’t just an illusion?”

“No, it came out from your body, flashed for a few seconds before vanishing again,” Angelica shook her head as she seemed convinced about what she was saying.

“I believe… It’s not coming out of you… I think it’s always there and this energy just revealed it,” Lily paused for a moment, “it felt like… It was you!”

“No way! I’m not a giant and I don’t even have a helmet!” What the heck went wrong in these two’s minds?!! “Anyway, we are done here. So let’s go back to the portal area and I’ll explain things to you once we arrive there.”

I didn’t like what they were talking about. Having something like this attached to me without knowing? What was it? Just an illusion? Or was it my shadow world?

I didn’t get what they saw to be honest, and I didn’t give it any heed at this moment.

I opened a portal and jumped over the first training ground, just above the portal area.

“It’s the bomb site!” but once we arrived, Angelica rolled her eyes in such a helpless way.

“Now, tell us what’s going on?” Lily crossed her arms while moving her eyes around. It seemed she felt little regret about agreeing to my crazy request from before.

“It’s like this…” I started to explain the new development about the Hescos race. I told them what I heard from old Gan, about how cultivation was the main problem we had, and the biggest one we got to solve.

“Damn! So are you telling me that they got a shield that protects them from any system powered attacks?!!!” The first to shout in shock and disbelief was Lily.

After all, she came from the Hector race, the third most powerful race in the entire universe.

She was raised up listening to the scary stories about Hescos. And yet it seemed such knowledge wasn’t known by her.

She was a paragon candidate! If even such a promising figure didn’t hear about this, then it was very secretive information about such a mighty race.

“That’s why you asked for all these forces with cultivation bases… I understand,” Angelica nodded and it was apparent that these two girls exchanged news before meeting me.
