Chapter 173: Big Win



'I can't escape, damn it!' Karthos thought before he was struck by Enorin's sword and thrown away, his armor slightly cracking.

Karthor could feel heavy blows of each skill coming at him, and failure to parry them as he kept accumulating injuries.

Aleron watched the battle and made a bet as well to activate a Gacha Quest.

'Eno, finish him off without getting injured in the slightest if possible.'

Enorin's eyes suddenly shone a savage glint, going all out on Karthor as she used her job class skill-Warrior's Cleave, in combination with her own crude Savant-grade skill-Blooming Shiv Flower.

It was her Concept, Prism Scope's power weaved into her skill-Light Burst Blade. In the next moment, Enorin's heavy board sword unleashed a cross-slash, but with strange mirroring phenomena on its front and back, which reflected the cross-slashes' four points, and suddenly, the cross-slash transformed and bloomed into a hundred-petaled flower with this Prism Scope's effects.

Each petal was a projectile akin to a slash, golden and sharp with golden lightning crackling around it, condensed with great power and mastery.

Karthos had no choice but to take it head-on as this sort of skill was easily controlled, and dodging was no solution unless the attack struck something else, but there was nothing inside this Domain but darkness and emptiness.

Aleron had removed suppressive effects from Karthor as he had made the bet for Enorin to defeat Karthor without his help and without getting injured even slightly.

The clash occurred as Karthor's defense met Enorin's attack, his fiery-red scaled barrier and shield blocked the attack, but not for long.

The metallic-shining crimson magma shield cracked and shattered along with several petals of the flower, Karthos groaned as he poured in more energy into the barrier, but it was only a matter of time before it broke, so he decisively used a movement skill and dashed to the side while his barrier broke and exploded, destroying half of the petals.

But it was not over and Karthos knew that as he sensed the two attacks coming his way, one was the flower and the second one was Enorin's second attack as she was a meter away from Karthor, her intensely glowing broad sword with lightning patterns searing into it with the last bit of her power in this two-pronged attack.

Karthor had a trump card, a one-time use defensive item. 'I lost tons of energy in the previous defense...what do I do?'

The barrier from a four-pointed blue crystal with a golden metallic border in his necklace shone and formed a honeycomb-structured barrier around him as both attacks struck him.

*Crack...*

'Shit!'

'Right.'

Without asking questions or informing anyone, ALeron teleported all the people of the Elf clan and Draconite clan into his secret realm.

The Draconites and Elves were startled and panicked as they suddenly found themselves in a huge barren black ground with a chain of volcanos a kilometer away.

This was one of the many Islands in the Eldertide Archipelago.

Aleron explained to them why they were here, and not surprisingly, both clans were more than happy to settle in a world-type secret realm with abundant resources and opportunity under this new ruler who didn't seem bad.

The Elves's leaders were already willing from their previous interaction with Aleron while Draconites were half-willing and half-helpless.

After talking a bit more, Aleron shifted the Elves to another island which was more in line with their affinities while Draconites stayed on the volcanic island.

Aleron got an idea, so he also decided to arrange something fun.

Looking at the screen before him, Aleron nodded with a grin as he finished preparation after

ten minutes.

Demonic Island - 1,974,322 Demons.

Elven Island 264,403 Elves

Draken Island - 510,399 Draconites.

All three islands showed a big screen displaying Aleron and a big portal above the screen.

"The portal you see leads to another secret realm called Whispering Hollow. It's not as big as this and the monsters and resources there are only upto Exceed-rank. So, those of you at Exceed-rank or below can enter inside to explore and acquire the resources."

"What you all get is up to you. Conflicts and all to acquire resources are fine, and if you die, you are responsible for it, but...death is not the end here. Your death will only arrive when your lifespan of soul runs out or your soul gets destroyed."

"As such, even if you die, the only price you need to pay is that you will need to start from scratch in a new body. I haven't learned how to create a properly functional physical body yet, but I plan to do that eventually."
