Chapter 592 Seed of Doubt

[Sword Path: Master (19%)

Weaponsoul Grade: 1 (48)]

[Stored Chaotic Energy: 2]

Upon cutting down the last of the small Space Vessels along with its pilot my hands rattled in exhaustion. Looking at the blinking window at the corner of my eyes, by simply singing my sword according to my created Sword Style was enough to make progress.

I didn't have a convenient system like this during my past life. All I did was swing and get enlightenment whether I was close to breaking through my Sword Path.

But then again, it wasn't an easy battle. My Swordforce actually got emptied for the first time. Momo even disappeared along with the Swordforce. The little dumpling is probably snoring inside the weapon. Just like how I was progressing in my Sword Path, the Weaponsoul was also being nourished. Even the Willful Sword had changed so much that it became unrecognizable from its original appearance when I first got it from Yuko.

The lightning streaks that it absorbed from the Transcendent Body Tribulation gave it a golden hue. The Dark Energy skill that it absorbed from a Dark World Transcendent prevented that gold from shining. And lastly, the blue and red from blood and Swordforce forged it to not only be durable but also sharp enough to cut through the reinforced structure of Space Vessels.

Right. How many Rank 3 Transcendents did I manage to cut down?

8 during the first wave and 18 during the second.

Their bodies were now floating lifelessly around me.

Was it easy? Hell no.

I had a trick up my sleeve so I managed to end it swiftly. Using Chaos Veil alongside my Sword Path threw them into confusion. When they thought they could block my sword, they'd be hit by the corruption of Chaotic Energy.

And with the Energy Projectiles that randomly sprouted from behind me, I managed to mask that trick underneath those projectiles' flashy appearance.

But looking at how that large Space Vessel was reacting, the Rank 4 Transcendent inside possibly misunderstood.

If I'm not wrong, he'll be coming out next to catch me. novelb1n

The first wave was a probe.

The second wave was to push me over the edge.

If the fight took longer than how it happened, a third wave could've been sent out.

By then, being captured by them would be inevitable if I still fight. I'd be forced to use the Concealment Aura to get away as much as possible before we start a wild goose chase.

However, that's not my plan.

"And here I thought you're coming here to negotiate with me." I cast a confident mask on my face to prevent him from probing my true state.

Without moving stiffly, I watched as he gradually closed the gap of a few kilometers in a short time.

From a normal human's perspective, it would look like he's teleporting. But no, he's walking nonchalantly as though there's a ground beneath his feet.

"Negotiate? You lot threw that away when you decided to steal the Mine World's Source Energy Core."

Mine World??I see. So, it's probably their proper term for a Slave World.

"Ah. We're not the ones who stole it. But you won't believe me, if I say that, right?"

"Indeed. You cannot point fingers at anyone else if you tried to hinder us from pursuing your true Space Vessel."

The six-eyed Transcendent showed a bit of reaction when I mentioned that. He managed to figure out that something doesn't add up.

It should be impossible to quickly extract a Source Energy Core and make a run for it a few hours ahead.

We're merely a motley crew of Rank 3 Transcendents, even if we're from a Sage World, we shouldn't have that capability.

Of course, they had no idea that I was the focal point of why it became possible.

But this doubt that was already rooted in his mind would point him to something...

"Won't it be more reasonable to think that the culprit is a Sage Rank expert?

"Or it's a Sage Rank expert from your world. Don't play smart with me. Even if we fail to recover the Source Energy Core from you, we'll find out the culprit after interrogating you or, if you want, prying into your memory. You and your comrades will not be spared."

The six-eyed Transcendent easily disregarded the seed of doubt that I tried to plant in his mind.

But that's fine. Planting it is enough.

That's my goal.

Looking at how he paused for a moment, he should've relayed that doubt to someone else through a communicator. Possibly his superior.

With that done, it's about time for me to bail out.

"Sorry, but being captured by you is not within my task."

At the same time as I said that, I immediately flew away from the spot. I retracted my Source Energy and contained it inside my body.

In this way, I would be riding the inherent Chaotic Energy in this vast nothingness. Thanks to my assimilation to a Chaosworld, this would give me the sensation of being a fish in a pond of clear water.
