Chapter 553: Truth and Justice

The native creatures of the Thunderfall World extended far beyond the blue-skinned Garths.

Although Garths were the predominant species, the Thunderfall World, with its unique environmental laws, nurtured a plethora of other bizarre creatures.

These native beings were primarily electro elemental creatures; however, a few rare species also existed.

At this moment, Sein was pursuing a small creature resembling a three-winged chicken, darting swiftly through the marsh.

Despite its modest life level—only comparable to a high-level magic beast—its speed was remarkable.

A hidden sheen of electric light flickered beneath its mud-coated wings.

Sein could tell that the creature was considerably intelligent and deduced it was likely stationed here to monitor the Thunder Marsh camp.

Other native creatures of the Thunderfall World, like this small creature, still concealed themselves within the Thunder Marsh.

Among them were those of Rank One or Rank Two life levels.

The chase was brief; before the overwhelming disparity in power, the small “chicken” was soon captured alive by Sein’s Verdant Fiery Hand spell.

Despite its rapid escape attempt earlier, the creature revealed a ferocious, bloodthirsty nature once in Sein’s grasp.

Less than half a meter in size, it thrashed violently within Sein’s verdant flame hand.

The searing pain of the verdant flames, rather than subduing it, only fueled its fierce resistance.

Screech! Screech!

The shrill, piercing cry continued to ring out amidst the flames. Sein was uncertain whether it was a call for help to its nearby companions or merely an outburst of despair.

In the Astral Realm, the majority of creatures developed the ability to communicate through mental focus upon reaching Rank One.

Although this small creature was not capable of speech yet, Sein detected its intense mental fluctuations which could probably be interpreted as a barrage of unspoken curses.

A soul seal materialized in Sein’s hand, and without hesitation, he implanted it into the creature’s mind, attempting to enslave its soul.

BOOM!

The “chicken’s” brain exploded with a loud bang, splattering red and white substances—possibly brain matter—onto Sein’s verdant flame shield.

The native creatures of the Thunderfall World were merely defending their homeland and launching counterattacks, making them the true innocents and victims in this scenario.

Yet, in the Astral Realm, the lines between good and evil were not so easily drawn.

Truth, as they say, only exists within cannon range.

Sein was in a foul mood, and consequently, a group of creatures would suffer for it.

He harbored no compassion for the native creatures of the Thunderfall World he had effortlessly crushed to death.

The two sides were inherent enemies, locked in unending conflict.

If captured by Sein, these creatures could at least serve as experimental specimens, contributing to the unraveling of the Astral Realm’s mysteries.

In his view, this offered them a nobler death.

***

Sein had been navigating the eastern part of the Thunder Marsh for over ten days.

Initially, no one paid much attention to this Rank One mage who had newly arrived on the Thunderfall World’s battlefield.

However, the rather huge commotion Sein had been causing in the eastern part of the marsh soon caught the attention of many Rank One knights patrolling nearby.

Sein had assumed he would find little of interest in the Thunder Marsh, especially among the native creatures whose life levels were below Rank One.

Yet, just as he was preparing to return to the fortress base, an unexpected encounter changed his mind.

He came across an Eight-Legged Wolf Spider, unmistakably a Rank One creature, enveloped in visible, yellow electro elemental energy that revealed its elemental nature.

“Let’s go together! Don’t let it escape!” Sein called out, leading the charge.

Yuri, piloting her Burning Flame Unit, was initially slow to respond but quickly caught up, becoming the first to confront the wolf spider.

Interplanar warfare was no child’s play; it was far more dangerous than any so-called “trials”. People had lost their lives here.

Sein had little interest in fighting an extraplanar creature solo. He saw no point in complicating his mission when he could simply neutralize the threat.

He had enlisted Yuri’s aid primarily out of concern that the agile Rank One wolf spider might escape.

After all, Thunder Marsh was their natural habitat, where they thrived and knew every hidden nook and cranny.
