Chapter 1339 Many Essences

Chapter 1339 Many Essences

Randal still felt absolute incredulity as Umbra, the beast he had cut in half and killed, somehow came back to life with Time Essence. He had never imagined something like that being possible at all and somehow here it had happened right in front of him.

Ning tilted his head and raised his eyebrow. "So... are you going to answer me?" he asked.

"I... I am Randal Tarmon," the young man quickly said. "I am a High lord of this Country." He stood straight and proud after introducing himself.

"Good to know," Ning said. "Now, why did you kill my beast? I don't suppose someone as big as you can be paid to do what you did."

"I came here to find out what was happening," the young man said. "And found that there was a beast here killing all these men. I had to act. Anyway, why am I explaining this to you? Who are you exactly?"

"I'm the owner of this shop," Ning said. "And you are trespassing right now."

"The owner?" Randal asked. "Then... you're the one that made those recent popular weapons."

"I did," Ning answered.

"Oh, I actually came to meet you. I—"

Ning put up his hands to stop him. "You killed my beast after trespassing on my property. Do you think you can leave just like that?" he asked.

"What? What do you want then?" Randal asked, his face growing serious.

"Compensation," Ning said. "Either kill yourself for what you did to Umbra or give us something of equal value to your life."

Randal looked confused for a second. "There's no way I'm doing that," he said.

"If you won't do either, then I'll have to act," Ning said, cracking his knuckles. "Umbra, can you bring us into your Shadow World?"

Umbra, still dazed, found herself nodding and activating her technique. Immediately, the three of them and the other dead bodies disappeared into the Shadow World once more.

A loud ringing sound filled Randal's ears, immediately causing him to cringe and grab his ears. The dragon behind him fidgeted as well, trying to use space to manipulate the sound, but it didn't work.

Without focusing, Randal couldn't make a vacuum with his space powers as that especially needed quite a bit of concentration. He did manage to do it in the end, finally relieving himself of the constant pain.

Once he was free, he started attacking Ning with his Space Essence, creating more anomalies and spatial slashes to deal with him. He didn't want to kill a man such as that, but if he was to try and kill him, then Randal wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Ning gave a mocking grin and suddenly Randal felt Ning's Essence Core change once again. This time, it was something else.

"Another one?" the young man asked in surprise. That made it 4. 4 Essence cores in a single human was unheard of.

Ning pointed his finger toward Randal and shot something invisible.

Randal tried to use his Space powers to divert the projectile, but when he used his Space Essence, he found it to not do what he wanted it to. It was as if all Essence he had sent to do the task had suddenly gone Inert.

The projectile came close to him, and Randal tried to disappear. But, Ning had changed his core to a fifth one, one that Randal knew very well.

"Space Essence!?!?!" he shouted out loud, unable to believe his own senses. He tried to teleport away, but space firmed around him, making him force the teleportation just that much.

By the time he was ready to teleport though, the ball of nothingness was on him.

Randal finally realized what it was that had struck him.

Void Essence.

"Dammit!" Randal cried as the power around him failed. "Void essence? How do you have that?"

Ning walked closer. "Oh, I have many," he said and then his Core changed once more.

Randal's face paled at the arrival of the new core.
