Chapter 428 What if I said no...
The two of them collided, and the space seemed to be frozen. A blinding light flashed then disappeared, and immediately afterwards, a dome-shaped shock wave swept out at a terrifying speed.
Anywhere it passed, everything turned to dust.
"Run!"
"Hurry up! Quickly run!"
"We will not make it in time! Hurry up, use defensive magic."
"Magicians! Magicians! Use defensive magic!"
The group of people that Syka brought with them shouted. However, everything happened extremely fast.
As soon as they shouted, before they could even make any move to resist, the shock wave swept over them.
Instantly, in just ? of a second their flesh disintegrated leaving only their skeleton standing. In the remaining ? second, their skeletons also disintegrated into ash.
The terrifying energy spread around, and the ground vibrated violently, throwing soil and rocks into the sky as if a meteorite had just fallen.
The shock wave spread wider, and everything within a radius of 2,000 meters turned to ashes, and there were no living creatures left.
Even creatures who were flying in the air were affected if they flew below an altitude of 2,000 meters.
More than a minute later, the tremor ended, and dust covered the entire space.
Hikaru was floating in the sky thanks to the ability of the Void Hole. As he looked around, he felt like this place had just been bombed.
He waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew the dust away, revealing a horrifying scene.
"No... this is worse than being hit by a boom." He looked down, muttering.
The dust dissipated, revealing a hole more than 10 meters deep, with a diameter of more than 5,000 meters.
In the hole, countless cracks spread around, and they even spread outside the hole.
There were cracks more than 20 meters deep, and it was enough to understand how terrible the destructive power of the collision was.
Hikaru looked towards the center of the pit. Tsuraguki was there and she looked fine, there weren't even any scratches on her armor.
After all, her armor was Tier UR+, and it was even reinforced by many types of high-level magic and Runes.
If someone wanted to destroy it, the weapon used must at least reach Tier SUR.
Opposite her was Syka, he was now kneeling on the ground, most of his clothes were burned, and his hair was also burned dry.
His body was full of burns, and some places were even burned black.
His two swords were also broken. He planted those two swords on the ground to support himself so he wouldn't fall down.
It seemed that his ego wouldn't allow him to fall down in front of his opponent.
"Tsuraguki..." Hikaru used his thoughts to talk to her: "Did you use all your power just now?"
"No, master. I only used ? of my power."
Listening to Tsuraguki, Hikaru began to estimate her strength compared to players from another world.
"Looking at his condition, he's probably dead. It seems... with Tsuraguki's strength, plus the armor and other items, she is as strong as a level 90 Player."
Hikaru thought to himself, thanks to his ability to see the opponent's information, he could clearly see Syka's class and stats.
[Master. Tsuraguki is much stronger than you think.]
"Hm?! What do you mean?" Hearing Rika's words, Hikaru felt a bit confused.
[First of all, players in other worlds have existed for a long time. The Player who just fought Tsuraguki may have entered his world more than 40 years ago.]
[During that time, players have enough time to develop. In particular, they can trade and sell more, and have the ability to collect more items or higher tier skill cards.]
[Perhaps their level is limited, but they can develop into many other directions such as: Skills, items, weapons, talents or many other things.]
[While the players in Misty World are different. Right now, what they need to do is level up, however, their level is limited by the level of the territory.]
[That's why, the difference between us and players in other worlds is extremely large.]
"Wait! Don't players in other worlds need to level up their territories?"
[No, they found a new way to level up. In other words, they found a way to level up without having a territory.]
"Is there such a way? What way is that?"
[Hehehe... master, if I tell you, there won't be anything interesting anymore. I think... it's better for you to find out for yourself.]
"Ah! Rika, are you starting to act mysterious with me now too? Do you believe that when you have a real body, I will spank you?"
[Hehehe... Master, if you want, you can spank my ass as much as you like.]
Hikaru shook his head, he felt that Rika seemed to be taking after Selvih.
"Tsuraguki, is he still alive?"
"Yes, master. He is still alive, if I use all my power, I'm afraid he will die, and ? of this island will also be destroyed."
Hikaru opened the map, this island was estimated to be about 20,000 square kilometers wide. Her one punch could destroy ? of the island, that's too frightening.
However, when he remembered what he had seen in Tsuraguki's past, he felt that it was normal.
That's right, in the past, Tsuraguki could destroy several planets with an area equal to Earth's with just a swing of her sword.
He looked around, when he realized that the other players had turned into ashes, he felt a bit sad.
If they were still alive, he could probably collect a lot more of the resources they already possess.
'It's okay, I got a lot of attribute points back anyway.'
...
Description 6: [Store] - For each creature you destroy, you will receive 0.5% - 5% of the total stats of that creature. The number of attribute points you receive will be stored in the Void Cloak. You can use those points on anyone (you cannot use them on yourself).
...
Void Cloak's 6th skill. The stats of Players from other worlds are quite high.
Thanks to that, the Void Cloak had accumulated more than 50,000,000 attribute points from the players and monsters that died from the explosion earlier.
'Looks like... I can earn more attribute points in events like this.'
'In addition... Players in other worlds also carry a lot of resources... hehehe...'
[Master, your smile is gradually losing its humanity.]
Hikaru: "..."
He flew in front of Syka, his hands clasped behind his back, and spoke: "Hm... seems like you're still alive, all right. So... I will give you a chance to live."
"Give me everything you have. Besides, how could you sneak into this event and return?"
Syka slowly raised his head to look at Hikaru, his face was covered in blood but his eyes were still extremely sharp.
"Ah! It seems... you really want to die." Hikaru shrugged, even though he didn't want to kill Syka.
Syka was very strong, which means that he had a lot of resources at his disposal.
However, if Syka did not compromise with Hikaru, Hikaru would have to kill him.
Hikaru also didn't want to spend too much time with Syka. Anyway, after killing him, Hikaru would receive a few attribute points thanks to Void Cloak's skill.
Syka sighed, then said: "I... I want to live."
Hearing that, Hikaru smiled and thought to himself: 'It seems... the greater the power someone has, the more they are afraid of death.'
He shrugged and said: "That was the correct decision. First, hand over everything you have."
Syka nodded, he moved his finger in the air, then a small chest appeared on the ground.
[Ding! Found a space chest, do you want to take it?]
Hikaru frowned and asked Rika: "Is there any danger inside?"
[No, master.]
At this moment, he felt completely secure in placing that chest inside his own system space.
Hikaru operated the system and opened the chest. Another electronic screen appeared, displaying many items inside the chest.
The number of Soul Points inside had reached more than 2 billion. There were a lot of weapons, skill cards, talent cards and other items.
There were so many that Hikaru couldn't see them all.
He turned off the information panel, his face full of satisfaction looking at Syka: "Good, I trust you are not hiding anything else. If not..."
Syka was a little scared when he heard that. He was really scared of this young man in front of him and his hero.
Too awful. Is a normal player from Misty World already this strong?
Why did the messenger say that the players in Misty World had only been in the world for about 2-3 months?
The highest level player in this world is only level 60.
"I have a question..." Syka suddenly spoke up.
"Hm?! I know what you want to ask." Hikaru smiled and said: "In fact, I am a player from Misty World, I did not lie to you."
"So..." Syka asked in confusion: "Why are you so strong?"
Hikaru shrugged: "I don't know, maybe it's because you guys are weak."
Hearing those words, Syka almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that the past 40 years of trying to level up and become stronger were meaningless.
He even lost easily to a hero summoned by a player from Misty World.
Syka also sensed that the hero had not yet used his full power.
Syka sighed, feeling extremely hopeless he said: "I don't want to die, but I really can't tell you why I came to this place."
"I have a magic mark placed on my body. If I say it out loud, I will definitely die."
Hikaru frowned, he thought for a long time then asked: "So... I will change the question. Besides you, how many other players have come to this world, not counting the players from Misty World?"
Hearing that, Syka bowed his head and thought, then said: "I don't know the exact number. However, I can estimate that there are about 50,000 players from other worlds infiltrating this event."
"My guild is just a small guild, as we were only given 50 slots to enter this event."
"There are many large guilds that have up to 100 slots or even 200 slots."
"The higher the level of the guild, the more slots it owns. The maximum number of slots a guild can own is 300."
Hikaru frowned upon hearing that. If Syka's guild was just a small guild, then other players would probably be stronger than him.
He alone was not enough for Hikaru to evaluate the strength of players from another world.
Hikaru suddenly looked at him, smiled and said: "Syka, I will give you a chance. Serve me, I will let you live and help you reach a higher level."
"What if I say no?"
"Die!"
