Book 2: Chapter 57: Fluttering Ashes (3)
The rose gold thunderbolt flashed and made the people looking at the platform see red.
The Huayans patriarchs white light flashed after that.
Ugh!
The Huayans patriarch let out a short groan.
However, he was not pushed back.
Good, it wouldnt be fun if you were pushed back so easily.
Tap.
Cale gently landed on the platform. He asked in a light tone.
But it hurts a bit, doesnt it?
Crackle. Crack.
There were still currents crackling around the Huayans patriarchs hands. It looked as if he did not manage to nullify all of it.
Something is weird.
Cale was sneering at him but thought that it was weird.
He should be able to easily block something like this.
This was someone that even the ancient Dragon was uncertain about defeating.
Then he should be able to get rid of a thunderbolt of this strength easily.
But he ended up with some injuries?
Oh my.
Cale quietly clicked my tongue.
You used your dead mana elsewhere.
The patriarch did not use his powers to block Cales attack. Most of his strength was used elsewhere.
The thing that he would use his strength on
Smile.
The patriarch started smiling.
He brushed back his messed up white hair as he spoke.
Too late.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Someones scream echoed in the air at that moment.
It sounded more like a shout than a scream.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The Emperors whole body was twisting.
His eyes became black.
It truly had happened suddenly. Within a few seconds, the Emperor followed up the shout with an order.
R, rise-
However, that was all he managed to say.
Ugh!
Sui Khans fist landed a strong punch on the Emperors stomach.
No choice.
Sui Khan had wanted to take the Emperor safely if possible, but that was no longer an option.
Ugh. Ooo
Sui Khan once again punched the groaning Emperor who looked as if he was going to say something and made him faint.
Gasp.
The Emperor gasped for breath as he fainted.
Sui Khan then confirmed it. He made sure that the Emperor had fainted.
Sui Khan had knocked the Emperor unconscious as soon as he grabbed him and flew up. However, he had still woken up.
The Huayans patriarch must have done something.
They said that the Emperor would die if his whole body turns black, right?
The Emperors eyes had turned black the moment he shouted. And now his body was dyed black up to his neck.
It had not taken very long.
It had all happened in a few seconds.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
This is not good.
His body was continuing to turn black despite being unconscious.
It was slower than when he was awake but the Emperors whole body would eventually turn black.
Mm.
Sui Khan got chills on the back of his neck at that moment.
His instincts were telling him something.
Something is headed this way.
Boooooooom-!
There was a loud explosion, and
Oh my.
Baaaaaaaaaaang!
The plaza fountain exploded with a loud noise.
Something then shot up from there.
Its a snake.
It was no ordinary snake.
The large snake's head alone was a couple meters long.
Its body was black.
That snake was covered in bones instead of scales.
Baaaaaang!
The snake continued to shoot up from the ground.
W, what is that?
Gasp.
The chaos among the people in the plaza amplified with the sudden appearance of a large monster.
It could not be helped.
The snake had two large fangs.
Chhhh. Chhhh.
And everything that touched the black liquids that dripped from those fangs melted away.
I, is that perhaps the Emperors power?!
One of the candidates shouted the thing that many people were thinking.
We need to evacuate the people.
Second Imperial Princess Olivia grabbed the Fire of Purifications Popes arm and commented.
It comes before hunting the Hunters.
Olivia continued to speak after making eye contact with Zero in the distance.
That monster doesnt look like it will stop because the Emperor fainted!
She felt as if that would be the case.
And she was correct.
Looks like I'll need to clean up a bit first.
The moment the Huayans patriarch fixed his sleeves and calmly commented The snake moved according to his will.
Screeeeeeeeeech-!
The black skeleton snake started to move as it screeched.
However, it was different from moving in a direction.
Baaaaang! Bang! Baaaaang!
Loud explosions could be heard as the rose gold light and white light clashed.
The lights crumbling as they clashed were so blinding that people could not see what was happening inside.
Hey, Hunter.
Actually, only the white light was crumbling.
The rose gold light continued to swallow the white light.
Cale asked from within the crumbling light.
You know about Roan, right?
The Huayans patriarchs eyes clouded over.
Ha, youre from there?
The patriarch made a large motion with his hand.
A large amount of white light made the shape of a crescent moon as it split the area in between Cale and the patriarch.
Pop-!
It sounded like a balloon bursting as the white crescent moon burst and created a gust of wind that pushed both Cale and the patriarch back.
The Huayans patriarch shook his tingling hands as he spoke.
That is where the test subject died. Does that mean that you are the person who killed the test subject? Pfft.
He brushed back his messed up white hair.
Cale Henituse. I think that was your name.
The person who killed the test subject.
Cale could tell that the test subject was referring to the White Star. That was who Cale had faced in Roan.
Cale spoke as if he was amazed.
Oh. Even a patriarch knows of my name?
I am aware of it.
The patriarch nodded his head.
I am also aware of the extent of your powers.
Reddock started smiling.
They said that he uses a few powers of nature. He supposedly has a fire he used against dead mana, right?
There was more information about Cale than expected.
Of course, he had only read about it and had never seen it in person, which was why he didnt immediately think of Cale after seeing the rose gold thunderbolt.
Pfft.
However, it would not be a problem now that he was aware.
A fire power of that level
If it was just enough to go up against the White Star
If the fire power was strong enough to do that
The amount of power Cale was showing right now made sense.
However, it is unable to reach my level.
Reddock Huayans made a judgment about Cales strength and that gave him some breathing room.
The white sand desert. That is the limit of this bastards powers.
He was able to assess Cales level now that he knew his identity.
The person who saved the world.
The Huayans patriarch looked at Cale as if he was happy to see him.
Hmm?
As Cale scowled in response The Huayans patriarch continued to speak.
"Good. Very good.
The Huayans patriarchs demeanor suddenly changed.
Although the value of karma you have is not at the level of a world It should be beyond that of a human.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again.
It was as if he was enjoying something.
I wasnt using my powers properly because all of the lives here were precious sacrifices I couldnt waste. However, the situation has now changed.
The Huayans patriarch smiled. He truly seemed excited. He truly seemed happy.
It, it should work if I capture you and commence the ritual.
Oooooong oooooo
Reddock Huayans The aura he channeled made the ground move up and down.
Crack, crack.
Cracks appeared on the platform and the terrain around it started to crack as well.
It was as if the density of the air was changing. The air changed so much that most people would feel as if they were suffocating.
You didnt think that the puny amount of strength you saw was all I had, did you?
The Huayans patriarch reached his hand out from the center of it.
White light gathered around his hand.
It looked like a thunderbolt
Or maybe a spear.
He looked like the strongest gods in mythologies or the heroes of lore.
The white light looked so blinding and holy.
Haha-
Cale laughed as he watched.
He then looked at the Huayans patriarch as he spoke.
Of course not. I hope you didnt think that the puny amount of strength you saw was all I had either.
Cale slowly unsealed the power of the Fire of Destruction.
A rose gold fiery thunderbolt shot up from his body.
It was beautiful.
It also looked holy. However, it was full of a violent force that looked as if it would destroy anything and everything.
The red current that shot up from him looked just as strong as the Huayans patriarchs white light.
Cale, I'm going to go past fifty percent?
Of course, Cale was only using about half of his strength right now.
Keke. Lets rough him up! We will totally overwhelm him! Is there a need to always fight until you bleed? We will just easily squash him this time! Kahahaha!
Cale channeled even more of his power as he listened to the Fire of Destructions crazed voice.
Are you an idiot?
He walked toward the white light.
What?
Cale sounded frustrated as he responded to the scowling Huayans patriarch.
You are too far in the losing end in compatibility.
This holy looking white light
It was turning instantly into ashes the moment it touched Cales rose gold light.
It doesnt work against me no matter how much dead mana you use. You cant understand that?
Cale shook his head as if he was frustrated.
I'm going to use sixty percent?
The Fire of Destruction cautiously asked and the rose gold light became stronger than the white light.

Cale so OP right now.
