Chapter 131: Crown of Thorns (5)
Hansoo frowned as he felt the minute presence of people transmitted through the ground.‘But I can’t leave this place yet.’
Boooooom!
“Uwaaaak!”
The giant factory, that had long stopped producing the Akadus due to lack of resources, had turned into a mess from the shockwaves and soundwaves of the battle.
‘I wondered where it was…It was here huh.’
They needed to get over there and take over the black crown.
Oteon shouted out loudly and squeezed out the remaining power of the forbidden technique as they charged towards the Akadus.
It hadn’t even been an hour since they started to fight with the Akadus who were protecting the Factory.
And the living ones weren’t in that good of a shape either.
“Kuuuu…”
Akarons who had been turned into a mess were making painful expressions and were rolling around the ground.
But even during this suffering, the eyes of the Akarons were fixated on the Crown of Thorns in the distance.
‘The side effects will die down eventually.’
Taruhol smashed his fist onto the chest of the Akadus.
The Akadus, which still moved despite receiving damage to its head, stopped working as the core got smashed apart.
Taruhol clenched his teeth in order to suppress the pain and then shouted towards Hansoo who had been fighting next to him.
“Yes. The Akaron with the strongest physique must take it on!”
When he sees Taruhol acquiring the Crown of Thorns and see him using it properly, he will implant a soul fragment onto him.
Since the humans wouldn’t be able to easily do much to the Akarons if they have the Akadus along with the Crown of Thorns to control them with.
It was written in the memory crystal that the Dragon Essence Blade would come out when they acquired the Crown of Thorns. As Taruhol heard Hansoo’s words, he made stomping noises as he crazily headed towards the Soul Telautograph.
“Help the first pillar so he can arrive there intact!”
And Taruhol ran even more urgently after seeing this.
He would need to acquire the Crown of Thorns as quick as possible before casualties rose too much.
While they were constantly moving up.
Oteon, who had been fighting near the tunnel along with hundreds of other Akarons, shouted towards Hansoo.
The formation would break down and the casualties would rise even more if Hansoo left.
“Wait for me. There’s something I need to deal with.” “Let’s go in quickly! We don’t know what they would do!”
A tunnel which did not look simple even from a single glance.
Rong Wian felt urgent after realizing that it had been quite a while since they went in.
The people who had escaped along with Rong Wian started to run madly.
A strange tunnel that was artificial even from a simple glance.
It seemed like a relic site of the Akarons, another reward might be prepared in a place like this.
Powerful shockwaves and sounds of clashes came through the tunnel and rushed over their head.
They didn’t know what was inside but this told them that it was dangerous.
“What are you going to do Rong Wian. It doesn’t seem easy over there either, are we going back?”
It would be dangerous if they continued. ‘Shall I have a look.’
“Let’s just wait here, we don’t need to fall in danger by going in. And it seems like they would win anyway.”
They would return if that was the case but there wasn’t really a need for them to if they weren’t going to lose.
Rong Wian laughed.
It would be hard for them to dodge the aggression they would receive after the battle ending.
At that moment a strange existence came into his view.
‘What is it?’
An entirely golden existence that was closer to a dragon than a human.
It was the guy who had risen to fame recently in just a few days.
The one who always had the upper hand was not the desperate side but the leisurely side.
‘That side is urgent too, he shouldn’t be trying to make us into enemies at this point.’ Rong Wian shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
That idea was solidified even more as he saw Hansoo who was covered in blood from head to toe.
Hansoo just spat out a short sentence.
“…What?”
One person smirked as he spoke.
“You guys lost that chance already.”
He hadn’t brought the Akarons here.
To this place which was much more vicious that the silver battlefield back there.
“I don’t know what you’re saying… I guess we’ll just stay here then.”
Hansoo heard these words as he looked around.
No, they had escaped the silver battlefield since they agreed with this guy anyway. ‘This is the end for you then.’
Rong Wian raised his weapons with a nervous expression from that.
That moment.
Booooooooooom!
“You’re a bit of a coward huh?”
Actually he had thrown it towards where he had come out from.
Boooom!
A tremendously large sound was heard from the battlefield in the distance where Hansoo had thrown the spear to. “Goddamit…”
Taruhol grinded his teeth and smashed the wall in front of him after getting to the Soul Telautograph.
But Taruhol didn’t give up as he continued to smash it.
At that moment.
Kiiiiiiing
Along with a sound of something activating.
Taruhol unconsciously cursed out loud after seeing this.
He didn’t know what was coming down within the energy barrier and the white steam.
The thing that was coming down was extremely dangerous.
At that moment.
Booooooom!
Taruhol looked towards where the lightning had come from.
The spear which flew in through the tunnel cut through the skies and smashed into the thing within the steam.
At the same time 12 golden beams exploded out from the steam. Kiiiiiiiing!
“What the hell have you just…”
“If you don’t want to do your part then I will make you do it forcibly.”
The moment Rong Wian was about to reply to those words.
Something flew in from the tunnels as it turned six people into minced meat.
“What! Fucking hell! What the hell is this!”
Kwajijik
“Uaaaak!”
It was so fast that they couldn’t even see it.
A similar look as the one of the silver Tiradus from the outside.
12 golden Akadus that towered 5m tall. Ooooonggg
The adventurers started to madly attack the Akadus flying towards them but it was useless.
Rong Wian shouted out in fury from this scene.
If he had left it then it would’ve attacked the Akarons.
In order to make them fight it instead.
“This is a better choice than a failure.”
Hansoo thought of the past.
Eres, Kangtae, Keldian and his opinions were all different.
Since humans could change.
Quite similar to how Eres thought, since Keldian also thought that humans could change at any moment.
Hansoo was in between Keldian and Kangtae but respected Eres’ opinion since his goal was saving the human race.
Hansoo thought of the report of the young Tekilon, who was ruling over the Red Zone. ‘Eres, it seems like you were a bit wrong. This place… doesn’t have that much leisure.’
No, for success he was willing to sacrifice tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people.
‘Change the benchmark. The ones who would go up and fight along with us in the Abyss… Will only be those who deserve to live.’
But since these guys refused, this was the only option to acquire the Crown of thorns.
“Uaaaaak!”
Hansoo heard the screams that were ringing from all around him as he threw them away as bait and discreetly flew back towards the Crown of Thorns. “Damnit! It became even harder because of those bastards!”
They emptiness of those who had ran away could not feel any heavier than this.
He wanted to get away from this damned place along with his wife.
No, most of the Margoth levels were probably thinking this.
They could definitely survive with their power levels.
Gwanje thought of his wife.
Living like a scumbag was enough for himself.
That guy would only survive if he and the others held on here.
At that moment.
A sudden sound rang throughout the battlefield as all of the Akadus suddenly stopped moving.
Gwanje made a joyful expression as he crumpled onto the ground in a sitting position.
Gwanje muttered as he looked at the silver Akadus that had fallen in front of him.
Hansoo then felt the humans, who had gotten quite close, as he rushed towards them.
But then both the battlefield they came from and the one they were heading to were dangerous.
His mind was set ease as he looked at the hundreds of adventurers who had been gathered here.
Why wouldn’t the others escape, they had the ability to as well.
Towards where the spear came from.
But this was really the limit.
