Death… And Me

Chapter 3834: Level Four

Outside, Kunprio received warning messages from absolutely everywhere in his communication device. And yet, his flames slowly diminished, the backlash of tapping on his essence quickly catching up to him. Even worse, he looked at the Dimensional Realm in front, and there wasn’t anything he could do.

Obviously, he tried to enter it again, but as soon as he plunged inside, he was instantly warped out.

Plinio, who hadn’t even reached the outside by the time Kunprio and Rokerfa lost, was puzzled. ”Why was I teleported out? What happened? Hey, the protection barrier that keeps everyone from getting close to the Corrupted System’s Dimensional Realm disappeared too!”

Rokerfa, who still looked pretty beaten, sighed and looked back at the Dimensional Realm as well. ”Things took a turn for the worse...” Then, she used her Divine Sense to explain everything to Plinio.

Plinio was obviously shocked by what he heard. ”But... did you see Kunprio losing?”

”I didn’t,” Rokerfa shook her head. ”But he is here outside with us, is he not? So... that’s basically it.”

”The Werdlem Universe will not take it easily...” Plinio also sighed, already seeing the shitstorm that would come their way.

Then, taking his CD out, he checked all the messages. Not only him, but pretty much all Light Propagators in the Universe were being bombarded by the same messages. ”The Spatial Seal has been taken down. Umbras as appearing everywhere...”

Kunprio finally gave up trying to enter the Dimensional. ”You two, since we can’t enter this Dimensional Realm, we might as well destroy it. It will be much better than letting the main core fall into someone else’s han-”

*Ziu!*

*Bang!*

Before Kunprio could finish his words, an attack came from behind the fabric of space, hitting his core head on!

*Crack, crack, crack... Boom!*

Due to the backlash, Kunprio wouldn’t be able to defeat a Space-Time Realm Expert at the moment. And the attack just now... that carried a power many, many times bigger than that.

Plinio and Rokerfa were scared out of their minds, immediately taking distance from Kunprio’s destroyed core. Just like that, a Celestial Realm Expert died. Even if Kunprio was weakened and couldn’t display much of his strength, he at least had access to his Celestial Laws and was the Universe Owner. He wouldn’t be able to kill anyone, but he definitely should be able to defend himself by using those two advantages.

”Who goes there?!” Plinio and Rokerfa shouted.

*Zush, zush, zush...*

As they did that, another eight experts arrived. They were the experts Kunprio had left outside the protection barrier of the Dimensional Realm, waiting for the twins’ group to come out. Each one of them was just like Rokerfa and Plinio, having cultivations at the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm but actually being Semi-Celestials. Let’s not forget that very few had the permission to enter this galaxy’s protection formation, so it made sense that these ones were at least that strong.

”The Universe Owner...”

”How did that happen?”

”Like hell if I knew...”

”Could it be the Werdlem Empire? But Kunprio...”

Plinio suddenly felt something, warning everyone. ”Get back!”

No one thought twice before they fled from there as fast as they could. Naturally, so did Plinio and Rokerfa. Yet...

*Arrghhhh!!!*

Two of those experts were too slow and were caught by a black cloud that appeared out of nowhere. Before, no one saw what had hit Kunprio since no one expected the Universe Owner to be attacked. This time, they were all paying attention, and they saw it.

The black cloud envelopped those two, and even though those guys used their own Celestial Laws as Semi-Celestials, they simply couldn’t beat the Celestial Laws contained inside the black cloud. In a matter of seconds, those two were consumed, dying and disappearing inside.

Plinio and the others were terrified to see two expert at their same level being killed that easily. ”Celestial Realm... but...”

There wasn’t supposed to be another Celestial Realm Expert in D33, so how could one have appeared here?

Then, the Black Cloud began to change form, ultimately becoming a kind of shadow man. It was an Umbra! And not just any Umbra, but the only Level Four Umbra of the entire Universe! Even worse, no one knew he existed... until now.

”For countless years, I bid my time, hiding from your senses and waiting for a chance to come out,” the Umbra said with a wicked smile. ”Those damned seals behind the fabric of space were truly annoying, but they are now gone. Now I just need to make sure you won’t deploy them again.”

’Run!’ Plinio and Rokerfa gave the order with their Divine Senses, already dashing into the distance. No wonder Kunprio died so easily, even though he was the Universe Owner. This Umbra carried a power similar to his, after all.

The other six weren’t any slower, using their own Celestial Laws to dart away. Even if all of them joined forces, they knew very well they had no chance against a real Celestial Realm Expert. Of course, Umbras didn’t really have cultivations, but their memories allowed them to mimic those levels to a certain extent.

Well, as mentioned before, Umbras are weaker than living beings of a similar level. Had Kunprio not been weakened by such a huge extent by the twins’ group, he definitely wouldn’t have been taken down. Much the opposite. He would have likely detected this Umbra, easily beating it. Too bad that Umbra selected the right time to come out, even if it was pure luck.

When the Spatial Seals disappeared, this Umbra, who had been hidden for countless years, already had a plan in mind. Using the Light Spreaders’ locations behind the Fabric of Space, he was able to guess more or less where the core that controlled them existed. So, he waited in the correct location all this time, never showing any hint of his existence.

When the seals came down, he quickly came out, and Lo and Behold, he immediately detected Kunprio. In fact, even he was surprised by how easy it was to kill Kunprio. He was initially cursing his luck for bumping into Kunprio in the exact moment he came out. Anyway, it was too late. He tried to ambush Kunprio and expected a huge battle that he might likely lose, but things actually played really well. Now, he killed Kunprio, and he had no plans to allow anyone to seal him or any other Umbra behind the Fabric of Space again.

”Now then...” The Level Four Umbra ignored Plinio and the others. He could kill them, but that would take time, and he would rather deal with this Dimensional Realm and the core inside. ”So this is where the core is hidden, uh? For some reason, no one can enter it anymore...”

Then, he snorted. ”Hmph! Let’s just destroy it before things go wrong.”

In his mind, no core, no seals, no imprisonment. It was a simple and likely very effective choice.

He connected to the Celestial Laws World, using the memories inside himself, and was ready to attack. But then...

*Crack, crack, crack...*

Out of nowhere, that Dimensional Realm also began to break apart!
