Chapter 196: Emptiness of Space



The starry sky started to become closer.

Like a shooting star, the beautiful wings carried Adam and Renard further into the sky.

It was becoming very windy and cold as they ascended higher and higher.

Slowly, a layer of frost started to spread across the tips of Adam's wings.

"You think you can survive longer than me here?" Renard asked in anger. "This is a worthless attempt. You'll freeze over way faster than I do."

"You think so?" Adam grinned widely and opened his mouth wide. "Ice Breath!"

A breath of cold air swept out of his mouth and froze Renard's eyebrows and solidified his hair strands into icy spikes.

"Enough, Lightning Blast!"

After Renard's roar, a lightning bolt shot out from the clouds under them and struck both of them, engulfing them in a sea of electrifying energy.

"Ah!" Adam's flesh burned as the electricity coursed through his body, leaving him paralyzed and in excruciating pain.

His grip on Renard loosened.

'It's loose!' Renard wanted to escape, but then the grip returned and squeezed him tighter than ever before.

"You aren't escaping, bastard!" Adam screamed, his voice filled with rage and desperation. 'How did he shrug off the state of paralysis so quickly?' Renard wondered in shock.

The wings sprouted from Adam's back, unfurling to their full span.

Flap, flap, flap, flap!

They rose higher and higher into the sky.

The ground below looked small and insignificant.

They were already flying above the enormous Eldertree, with its enormous branches spreading around them like a protective canopy.

It was turning so cold that their bodies started to freeze all over.

With a few more flaps of the wings, it began hard to breathe, and his wings froze all over into blocks of ice.

The blood on Adam's arms dried up into a dark, icy crust, and his fingers turned stiff and numb.

With that, his grip on Renard loosened, and both of them started to fly away from each other, but they weren't falling; they were ascending slowly.

'I have to get out of here!' Renard thought, still having the ability to move his limbs.

He wanted to use his airwalk to escape this world of coldness, but he couldn't.

'Why? Why is my skill not working?' Renard thought in shock.

Seeing that, Adam just smiled and thought. 'The system's powers don't work outside the world.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

When Renard looked down, the world looked amazing. It was like one big bubble with the enormous tree at the center.

However, the world didn't look as big as he expected.

This world was just the twenty-fifth floor, nothing else.

'All the dungeon floors are separate dimensions.' Adam thought and turned around to look at the space.

With that, new, beautiful wings emerged from his backs, unfrozen and perfect. Those wings caught him and slowed down his fall, but his feet still hit the ground hard.

He rolled on the ground for a short moment before he came to a stop, panting heavily and

feeling the pain in his bruised body.

There was not a single spot in his body that wasn't either bruised or bloodied.

'H-how much health left...'

With a whisper, the interface opened up in front of him.

[HP: 3/900]

After seeing that, he panicked slightly, and he began to check out his wounds to see if he was bleeding from anywhere, but his Minor Healing had healed the most.

Thus, he wasn't in danger of losing any more health.

Unfortunately, since he didn't kill Renard directly, he didn't receive any experience points

from that, but still, he was happy and even let out a few laughs.

If this feat came known, his status would rise significantly, as this feat was even crazier than

his victory against Grandeur.

This was a proper deathmatch, and it was against a person that was former Grand Lord!

While he had grown slightly weaker than in his glory days, it was still an amazing feat!

Crack!

At that moment, a sound of a twig breaking came from behind him.

He turned around to the dark forest and didn't see anyone, but to his shock, there was a flask of the Rising Moon on the ground, some footsteps leading away from it. 'Someone was watching?' Adam thought in shock and picked up the flask. 'That person left me this? Why? Who was watching?'

He turned to look at the forest around him, searching for any sign of who could have left the

flask.

...

Walking down the forest, a blond-haired man lit up a cigarette between his lips and took a

long puff.

"What a monster," Kyle thought out loud. "Lady Yu, this man is dangerous."

The safety of Lady Yu was his utmost priority, and currently he had a feeling that if he kept

keeping an eye on Adam, his life would be in danger.

He was afraid.

There weren't many assassins stronger than him-he had reached very respected Royal Prince

rank, yet he was afraid of this rookie mercenary.

"I was about to help him, but to think that he would do that..." Kyle looked over to the sky.

"Rest in piss, Renard."
