Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2251: Another one

A breakthrough in the face of battle?!

This kind of phenomenon appearing behind someone only occurred when breaking through a major threshold, meaning evolving into a great expert or a peak expert.

Although breaking through during combat was not unheard of, many people were indeed seeing it for the first time.

A breakthrough on the spot was never an easy thing.

Yet every member of the Star-Eye Clan, after falling into wild elation, felt that it was only natural.

The two Star-Eye Clan leaders had always been the strongest in the clan. Although no one knew exactly what their Furelai levels were, thinking of people like Cheng Liujin and Bashilu gave a rough estimate of the two leadersʼ levels.

Before Ye Zhongming arrived, they should have been at around seventy to eighty thousand Furelai.

After Ye Zhongming came, they could be certain that the two leadersʼ progress had been no slower than anyone elseʼs, so their Furelai had likely reached the edge of becoming great experts, lacking only a catalyst.

Now, that catalyst had arrived.

If Delma and Kirsailting escaped, the Star-Eye Clan faced the risk of extermination; that was one factor. Lady Star had fallen into mortal danger; that was the second. Perhaps, too, Lord Eyeʼs long-held views toward certain supermajor races had accumulated resentment and even hatred within him, and at this moment it all burst forth; that was the third.
These factors combined allowed him, at a critical moment of life and death, to break through the hundred-thousand Furelai barrier and successfully step into the realm of great expert, thus giving rise to such a phenomenon.

Another reason for the shock felt by so many was that every lifeform, when breaking through to great expert, produced some degree of phenomenon—it could be an intangible mental force spreading widely like Jie Suʼs, or the descent of ancestors like White Dragon Horseʼs, or merely a brief flash of light around them.

Although the phenomena varied in scale, it was widely accepted that the greater the phenomenon, the greater the corresponding energy and potential after becoming a great expert.

Put plainly, those with grander phenomena emerged as stronger great experts, and more importantly, they had greater future potential and a better chance of touching the realm of peak expert.

Now, this enormous black shadow standing in the sky, with its eye-opening motion, was a manifestation of a truly grand phenomenon.

No matter how others were shaken by such a grand phenomenon, Lord Eyeʼs entire being was focused on one thought: save her!

He swept his dagger across the sky, positioning it directly in front of the lingering phenomenon. From a distance, it looked as if the weapon in that phantomʼs hand had been drawn.

For some reason, before the phenomenon faded, it really did move just so. Lord Eyeʼs blade-light crossed the distance and arrived before Kirsailting in an instant.

The peak expert could not afford to be careless at this moment. He had to abandon his attack on Lady Star and instead placed his hands in front of him in a posture reminiscent of Tai Chi, then pushed outward.

This attack, fueled by the phenomenon produced upon advancing, already surpassed the userʼs normal level. Although it could not reach the realm of a peak expert, it was by no means to be underestimated.

In his severely wounded state, Kirsailting truly dared not take it lightly.

The bright light collided with the peak expert, and blood splattered!

Lord Eyeʼs lips parted in a smile.

But hidden behind the mask, no one saw the blood on his teeth.

In any case, he had done it. He had freed his wife from the enemyʼs control.

But Lord Eye had exhausted every ounce of his strength. That strike had truly used all his power, and he had also drawn on the phenomenonʼs ability.

To put it plainly: if he was lucky and talented, he might someday use that same strike again. If he lacked potential, ability, or fortune, that might well have been the peak of his entire life.

Kirsailting let out a muffled groan, his body leaning backward. Beside him, Delma saw that on the chest of this peak expert from his clan, a wound had appeared so deep that bone was visible! And the hands that had first blocked the attack had three fingers cleanly severed!

”Die!” Delma was furious.

His reliance within the clan, aside from his own intellect and flexible temperament, was this peak expert who had always looked after him. With Kirsailting around, at least he did not have to worry about his rivals pressuring him through force.

But now, first Kirsailting had been severely wounded by Kunzuo, leaving possible lingering issues unknown, and then he had actually been intercepted by the two trash leaders of the Star-Eye Clan, losing fingers in the process!

For a prince who had spent his entire life immersed in the glory and arrogance of the Reina Star people, this instant setback and the grim implications for the future ignited a blaze of fury within him, and he struck out immediately to finish off Lord Eye.

A person who had used up all their strength, even if they were a great expert, was still vulnerable before Delma.

But at this moment Lord Eye truly did not care—he did not even dodge, for he could not have dodged anyway.

Yet Delmaʼs weapon did not fall upon him as expected; instead, it collided with a flurry of energy snowflakes.

Lord Eye looked toward his wife with a face full of surprise.

Lady Star stood there silently. Behind her, the sky displayed a mirage-like vision.

Between the vast and boundless heavens and earth, the shadow of a great mountain loomed, but heavy snow falling everywhere obscured its grandeur.

The entire image was dreamlike, as if one were truly there.

Beneath this mirage-like scene, which had merged seamlessly with reality, the snow falling from the vision descended into the real world, enveloping the two Star-Eye leaders, Kirsailting, and Delma within its range.

Following Lord Eye, Lady Star too succeeded in advancing to great expert at this very moment!

The people, already deeply shaken, fell once more into disbelief.

Yet another battlefield breakthrough! Another great expert!

Perhaps only the Star-Eye Clan members found this unsurprising.

Within the clan, Lady Starʼs strength had always been slightly above Lord Eyeʼs. Since Lord Eye could break through to great expert, Lady Star naturally could as well.

Husband and wife shared the same heart, did they not?

As these immense energy snowflakes descended, Kirsailtingʼs expression grew even more cautious than when facing Lord Eyeʼs blade. He did not dare act rashly, his eyes sweeping rapidly across his surroundings. At a certain moment, his body suddenly accelerated, grabbing Delma, who likewise dared not move, and charging in one direction, constantly adjusting his position along the way.

Lady Star, who had stood motionless all along, let out a cold laugh. Her right hand lifted gently, and the five closed fingers snapped open. In an instant, all the snowflakes exploded!
