Chapter 488 – Escaping A Calamity
On the other hand, Eric seemed to have gotten what he wished from all this as well. He could feel that he had already tapped upon his full strength, body, and energy.
The only thing he hadn't tried yet was using the Dragon Force, but that would be similar to shooting himself on the foot, as he would reveal to the world one more treasure in his possession.
Knowing that Young Master Red might not want for him to stay alive and work for him anymore, but actually kill him to possess his body and his special blood.
It wasn't like Master Takeshiba and the others could tell what it was, but that Young Master Red had a system in him that might actually pinpoint it.
No matter what, that was a secret card of his that he would use only when he was forced to, and right now what he was experiencing was far away from that.
He had been ready to run away for quite some time now, and if it weren't for his decision and order to pause the Legacy System conversion, the tracking artifact inside Takeshiba Aika's body would have become useless as well.
He had done all this, just so that he could have this awesome sparring and SP points harvest opportunity. Now that there was nothing to keep him there any longer he didn't feel the need to stay.
With those thoughts in his mind, he just looked towards Young Master Red with a condescending, cocky, and mocking look, as he said,
"I truly have had enough! Thank you for the great gift and the opportunity Young Master Red, I hope we will meet again in the future.
Without losing time, he quickly activated a 15 km Escaping Talisman, as he disappeared from his location under the startled and shocked gazed of the still alive experts.
Young Master Red seemed to have expected this, as he was keeping a tight look on him, but he was shocked to realize that even he was unable to follow Eric's escaping speed or path.
All this time he had thought that Eric was just running at a fast speed for a short amount of time, and as long as he kept full concentration over him with his realm it would be easy to track him down.
It was only at that moment that he realized that no matter how much he concentrated on Eric's presence he would be unable to track him down.
It was like for those 15 seconds Eric would fully disappear from his spirit sense like he had entered the void and was actually teleporting there.
What made the whole ordeal even more frustrating was that he had no idea where Eric would actually stop in that distance around him.
There were no traces of energy, or any other signal about just where would Eric and Takeshiba Aika actually appear.
Master Takeshiba was no different from him, as he was shocked at the weirdness of Eric's escape, but as long as his daughter had the refined artifact he was sure to find the two of them.
"Arrrggghhhhhh~! How~!? You little bastard~!"
Just as he was thinking like that, suddenly a painful scream reverberated through the sky, as everyone turned their heads in that direction.
Hidden in the clouds was an old man with white hair, and feeble-looking existence, demonstrating an aura almost equal to that of Master Two Snakes, and that Elder from the Council of Five.
The whole crowd of the still-living experts, including Young Master Red himself, were shocked by the appearance of that old man, but the one who was shocked the most was Master Takeshiba.
Just hearing that roar of pain, and those words he couldn't understand that something was going wrong, and immediately jumped towards the old man,
"Ancestor what happened!? What's wrong!?"
"That little bastard cut my connection with my artifact!"
"Didn't this happen earlier as well, why are you so angry this time!?"
"You don't understand, the first time I was just unable to sense my artifact, this time I can feel that the connection is fully cut!
That little demon managed to even refine my spirit sense on the artifact, and I suffered a soul injury!"
"What!?"
It wasn't only Master Takeshiba, everyone present was shocked and startled as well. Forgetting about the reason why the old man had been hiding all this time, and why he was here.
A 1st Realm weak junior had managed to refine the spiritual sense and the artifact of a peak Realm 5 expert, that was something impossible to imagine.
Just how strong were Eric's soul and spirit sense!? He was just Realm 1 now, but what would happen when he reached their level. They would be nothing more than chickens on his chopping board.
No, they couldn't allow him to live!
Due to their actions tonight each and every one of them could be considered to have created a blood feud with Eric, even though their side suffered all the damage.
In their heads, there was no way that Eric would forgive them for what they had done that night, so now they could only try their best and walk the extra mile.
They needed to get rid of the bud before it bloomed, grew stronger, and destroyed their whole garden.
With those thoughts, many people in the crowd made their decision to get rid of Eric, but the ones who wished the most to see his demise were the Takeshiba family and the Takeshiba family Ancestor.
It was at that moment that Eric and Takeshiba Aika finally appeared to the outside once again, as Takeshiba Aika looked like someone who had just gone traveled on top of a bullet train.
She was dizzy and unable to do or even comprehend anything, turning into nothing more than a burden in all meaning of the word.
"You vile beast, stop there and surrender your life~!"
The Takeshiba Family Ancestor immediately charged towards Eric's and Takeshiba Aika's location with his full strength, but he wasn't the only one.
Master Two Snakes and the Elder from the Council of Five had appeared out of nowhere and charged towards him as well. Completely sealing any path of escape that Eric might have.
"Three old bullies ganging up on a poor young me! You guys have truly opened this junior's junior eyes and allowed me to witness true shamelessness and face thickness today!
Unfortunately, I don't have any weird taste for old men, so I will have to leave! It was nice meeting you everyone, I am already looking forward to our next meeting!"
With that said, this time Eric didn't play any more games, and immediately used the 150 km distance Escape Talisman to escape these people's claws.
The next moment, three big, colorful, and strong-looking hands passed through the location that Eric had been standing a moment ago and ended up crashing into the ocean.
Just the three hands' pressure and impact alone made the water churn and formed more than a few powerful waves, as a small dent was formed in the ocean.
Fortunately or unfortunately neither of the hands managed to grab even the hem of Eric's clothes, as he had disappeared in nowhere once again.
"Aaarrggghhhh~! This slippery bastard! I will make sure to break his legs and arms once I get him in my hand and turn him into a cripple who will be unable to walk for as long as he breathes."
Takeshiba Family Ancestor was clearly unhappy with the result, as he was the one that had suffered the most under Eric's hands.
On the other hand, Master Two Snakes and the Elder from the Council of Five were actually looking at the surroundings with a frown on their faces.
Just like Young Master Red earlier, despite all their control and concentration on the surroundings none of them was actually able to sense Eric's mysterious movement.
The whole crowd of experts with Young Master Red who arrived by the three old fogies side seemed to be frightened and overwhelmed as well.
This was their chance to get rid of a great threat to their lives and their organizations, but they had been unable to do so.
Well, it would be useless for them to blame themselves, and anyone else to blame them when even Master Two Snakes and the Elder from the Council of Five weren't able to do the same as well.
But the situation seemed to become even more frightening, scary, and bleak with the pass of time, as even after 15 seconds Eric didn't appear this time.
Seeing how both times he had used that weird move he had been gone for 15 seconds, they still held hope to chase and kill him after 15 seconds. Especially the Takeshiba Family Ancestor.
But this time for some weird reason there was no sign of him. Making them feel that they might have lost him this time.
Still, there was hope that Eric would appear in the next 15 seconds, but even that didn't happen. Even after 30 seconds, there was no sign of Eric or Takeshiba Aika's appearance.
It was at that time that the three old fogies started worrying that Eric might have escaped longer than they thought this time.
Once those thoughts appeared on their minds, Takeshiba Family Ancestor said in a serious and solemn voice,
"Let us separate, I will be going East!"
"West!"
"North!"
"South!"
The others understood his intentions immediately as they each selected a direction before disappearing.
In order for each group to have an equal fighting prowess Master Takeshiba and Young Master Red were on the same group…
