Chapter 442: Impossible |
The forces of the Winterfire Empire chased the fleeing forces of the dying Skysand Kingdom near the World Peak.
The people of the Winterfire Empire were invigorated by the news of King Skysand's demise, while the people of the Skysand Kingdom were disorganized and chaotic.
Their walls made of soldiers were crumbling like sandcastles during the tide.
The leader of the offensive was one of the two Lieutenant Generals of the Winterfire Empire.
She commanded her people to chase after the retreating soldiers with fervor.
Today, this war would end!
After today, they no longer needed to fight!
Finally, the fighting would end.
The group was causing havoc.
BANG!
Suddenly, the five of them were gone, replaced by a storm of burning earth that shot towards the west.
The Lieutenant General watched in horror and shock as a humongous burning titan stopped in the place where the striking squad had just been, his hammer held in a position that indicated that he had just struck something.
That was when the world around the Lieutenant General turned from a mix of red and black to grey.
A heavy pressure came over her mind, and she couldn't form a coherent thought anymore.
She was completely paralyzed in fear.
Kyle had activated his Momentum.
The next moment, the giant turned to look at the Lieutenant General.
In the next instant, the Lieutenant General just saw a huge wall of black in front of her.
It was Kyle's hammer.
BANG!
The Lieutenant General joined the five other red stains on the humongous hammer's head.
For just an instant, the chaotic battlefield became silent.
The pressure Kyle exhibited froze everyone in shock.
What… was this?!
Kyle took note of the surrounding people.
He had just killed everyone at the Late and Peak Third Realm who was present.
The remainder was not that strong.
Suddenly, the fire around the black giant intensified, bathing the grey world in an overbearing red light.
BOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!
Around 30 different explosions occurred in different places as Kyle launched Methods via his Soul.
On each spot had been a person in the Third Realm.
The only people in the Third Realm remaining were the people of the Skysand Kingdom, who looked at Kyle in horror and shock.
BANG!
Kyle looked up at the sky when he heard the loudest thunder he had ever heard in his life. He saw a black cloud surrounded by the densest layer of lightning imaginable.
'A Spell?' Kyle thought.
When the lightning vanished, Kyle's eyes widened.
At this moment, his instincts were screaming at him.
Move!
BOOOOOOOOM!
A several-meter-wide bolt of lightning came out of the cloud, hitting the top of the giant's black helmet.
CRACK!
The black giant exploded into pieces, meter-wide pieces of Rank A Metals flying kilometers into the distance.
A second later, only a black crater was left behind.
The armored giant had been completely annihilated.
Silence.
In the distance, a silver-haired man looked at the spot where the giant had been with interest.
'Who the fuck was that?' the silver-haired man thought. 'I didn't know the Skysand Kingdom had such a powerful guy.'
'Well, he's dead no-'
The next moment, a small armored head poked out of the bottom of the black crater.
'Brah, what the fuck was that?!' Kyle thought in horror. 'If I hadn't abandoned my armor and immediately shrunk, I would be dead!'
That was when the two distant combatants looked at each other.
"Who the fuck are you?!" both of them shouted at once.
Then, they looked at each other in shock.
Kyle was not used to someone else speaking like that, and neither was the silver-haired man.
The next moment, a glimmer appeared in the silver-haired man.
"Do you understand me?" the silver-haired man asked.
Old unused parts of Kyle's brain sprang to life.
"Of course," Kyle answered, subconsciously speaking in English.
His brain had done that automatically, after all…
The other person had also used English.
The two of them looked in surprise at each other.
"Bro, no way," Kyle said. "You can't be serious."
"That's an American accent. Are you from the US?" the silver-haired man asked.
"Hell yeah, brother," Kyle answered. "You German? You sound like all these crazy doctors in the movies."
"I am," the man answered in English with a German accent.
Silence.
"Dude, I thought I was the only one," Kyle said.
"Me too!" the silver-haired man said.
Kyle jumped out of the crater while the silver-haired man flew forward, lightning coming out of his body.
The two stopped directly in front of each other and just looked at each other.
"How are you here?" the silver-haired man asked.
"That's my question!" Kyle answered in surprise. "How are YOU here?"
"Got recruited," the man answered.
"Magic Lady?" Kyle asked. "You could call her a Magic Lady," the man answered. "What gift did you choose?"
"Predator's Being," Kyle answered.
"Oh, you want to be an allrounder?" the man asked with a raised brow. "I went with Elemental Intensity. I'm more of a specialist."
Kyle scratched the side of his head. "That was the one that gives you a ton of affinity for one of the Elements, right?"
"Yep," the guy answered.
"I thought about that one, but then I thought, what would happen if I got affinity with something like shit or grass or trees or whatever," Kyle said.
"Oh no, that won't happen," the guy answered. "I got to choose which one."
"You get to choose?!" Kyle asked in shock.
"Yep," the man said with a smirk. "I asked the recruiter about it, and she said that I can choose whatever Element I want."
Kyle blinked a couple of times. "My recruiter didn't tell me that."
'Maybe that's because I annoyed her,' Kyle thought.
At that moment, the guy looked to the side.
Someone was trying to run past them.
Lightning gathered in his eyes.
"Wait!" Kyle shouted. "She's with me. We just want to go to the World Peak."
A glimmer of light appeared in the guy's eyes.
BANG!
Then, a lightning bolt struck Selene.
Kyle watched in horror, but then he noticed that Selene was uninjured.
Instead, the lightning bolt just threw her to Kyle.
Kyle looked at the man with a raised brow.
The man seemed to evaluate his options.
Finally, he shrugged. "I mean, if it were up to me, you could pass."
"It's just that… well…"
Suddenly, a humongous storm of ice parted the clouds as a person descended past the clouds.
Selene watched in horror.
"The Second Advisor," she whispered in horror.
The Second Advisor looked at the three gathered people with narrowed eyes.
"Do your job, Sebastian," she commanded.
Kyle looked at the Second Advisor with furrowed brows.
He hadn't met a Transcendent for a long time.
When Kyle saw the Second Advisor, he was able to judge her power accurately.
His chances of victory?
Impossible.
