I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1412 19.71 Second Red Star - Meeting the Fox

With Jeremyʼs question asking whether something is wrong with the prey they brought back, everyone finally realized that something strange and dangerous is going on. They all keep quiet and wait for Chuchu to speak. They believe in this Fire Elemental Viper Kingʼs words, as his words had the same strength as those of their new leader, Leng Jun. They knew he wouldnʼt harm them.

Like they trusted Leng Jun, who is no longer human, they also trusted his elemental as he is.

Chuchu responded to Jeremyʼs question, {There is a weird and chaotic aura coming from that Polar Bear. Those rabbits are still okay, still untainted. I remember the rumors from our world. There is this kind of energy that exists that can nourish the world, allowing it to upgrade. But...

this energy cannot be directly consumed by the living, or else they would go mad, go on a war craze, and become bloodthirsty. There is a definite feature that can distinguish it from others. A shade of gray eyes. This Polar Bear is emitting that kind of aura now, a shade of gray.}

”The eyes, is it?” mumbled Jeremy as he unhesitatingly dug the bearʼs eyes and checked their color.

Those who were affected by Chaos energy, their eyes will permanently change, from itʼs original shade to the hue of gray. The eye in Jeremyʼs had light gray eyes, and the one holding it frowned as expected.

Jeremy murmured, ”Itʼs gray.”

Instantly believing the words of Chuchu, Jeremy and the otherʼs started checking the eyes of the rabbits and deer they brought with them. They are lucky that these herbivores arenʼt affected by the chaotic energy. After all, without them, they wouldnʼt be able to eat tonight.

A hunter said, ”These rabbits and deer are still okay. Itʼs a bit of a waste for the polar bear. We truly canʼt eat it?”

As expected, these people are a bit hesitant to waste the bear, which is filled with meat that could make the whole group full. Unexpectedly, Jeremy summoned his elemental. Itʼs a fire-elemental ferret. It wasnʼt as powerful as Chuchu, but itʼs already a high-ranking element that is about to evolve into a high-ranking fire element. Jeremy called this ferret a guang, which means light.

”Guang, burn it down!” ordered Jeremy.

The ferret on his shoulder made a move surrounding the polar bear with golden flames, which looked holy and beautiful. The others can only see the burning polar bear, which turned to ashes. Once the golden flame disappeared, there was only a small pile of white ashes that merged with the snow below. Everyone looks sad at such a scene.

But they didnʼt know that this decisive action by Jeremy would save them tonight.

Jeremy said, ”The bear is gone. Why donʼt you start cleaning the rabbits and deer? I will catch more wild pheasants for you.” He didnʼt wait for someone to talk, but a few followed him out.

Chuchu, on the other hand, was stunned by the fire Jeremyʼs elemental had used. After all, holy flames are something only the descendants of God can use. It seems that the Elemental that signed contract with Jeremy is not simple. It had Godʼs bloodline and was much more powerful than him, who only had a demigod bloodline.

{Holy flames. Descendant of a God.}

Meanwhile, at the nearby forest area...

Jeremy found an area where the wild pheasant sleeps at night. He first observed at the distance after catching as much as he could with his small group of friends. They caught a dozen and gathered at least a hundred eggs. They are on their way back, but Jeremy insisted on checking the eyes of these chickens one by one.

Only when he is sure that none of these wild pheasants are unaffected by that weird energy does Chuchu mention that they return to the camp.

”Jeremy, is that weird energy Chuchu is saying real?”

”Why do you believe his words? That Polar Bear is enough to feed our group for at least a week.”

”After a week, do you think everyone is still sane after eating that bear? Think rationally and not be biased. Even though Chuchu is an elemental, he is our comrade as he is the captainʼs elemental. He wouldnʼt harm us,” Jeremy responded.

”We only want to say that if the wild beasts cannot be eaten, we will all starve before reaching the south region.”

”We can only bear with what we find. Once the captain is awake, we will be able to travel faster,” said Jeremy.

All of a sudden, he saw a pair of glowing, tainted silvers in the thick snow not far from them. Jeremyʼs body shuddered as he felt extreme danger coming from those pair of light gray eyes. He immediately pushed his friends out of danger when he saw a shadowy figure jumping on them.

Jeremy shouted, ”Be careful!”

Roar~

The hunter spread in all directions while Jeremy threw a ball of fire towards the shadow. Only when the fire illuminated the area did everyone see a snow leopard with grey eyes. The hunters didnʼt expect this kind of predator to still be awake at night. Normally, the snow leopard would hide in its cave to rest once the sun had set. They love to hunt at dawn when the sun hasnʼt fully risen yet.

This Snow leopard is different. Covered with white fur and spotted black pattern, the fiercest predator in winter season stood before them. What terrified them were its grey eyes and its mouth tainted with fresh blood. Obviously, it was happily feasting on something just now until it noticed them.

”Why is there a snow leopard in the flat region? Its territory should be in the ice mountains.”

”Look at its eyes. Theyʼre gray!”

”Should we run?”

The Fire Elemental Ferret spoke after observing the leopard before them.

{This snow leopard is influenced by chaos energy. Those who are affected by it will never let itʼs target go. You canʼt run. You need to kill it. I will help you!}

A storm of flames fall from the sky, illuminating the whole area and even limiting the area where the snow leopard can move. The Elementalists in the area all summoned their elementals to back up Jeremy, confronting the snow leopard with his elemental.

Jeremy said, ”We can only kill it. If not, it would chase us to the camp until all of us are dead!”

”Why is this thing acting like those beastmen that chased after us before!”

”Unafraid of death. Chasing even with its limbs broken. This is like those mad beastmen.”

”Is this really the effect of that weird energy, the elemental ʼChaos energyʼ?”

Jeremy said, ”Donʼt waste any more time. Dismember it! Only then it wouldnʼt be able to move anymore.”

It took awhile for them to defeat the snow leopard; they spent more energy than expected. They looked so haggard as they sat on the ground. Jeremy asked his elemental to burn the remains of the snow leopard to prevent the spread of chaos energy in the world.

Jeremy said, ”Youʼve seen how this leopard acts. If the chaos energyʼs effect is like this, what do you think would have happened to us after we ate that polar bear?”

”Kill each other... until only a few are left.”

”What the hell is this energy?! So sinister! Those damn beasts brought it here to our planet!”

”Letʼs go back. We should leave as soon as possible. This place is no longer safe. These wild animals might have eaten the remains of those beastmen who died when the fight took place and got affected by this energy. If so many wild animals would end like this, those carnivores would prey on each other, so itʼs no wonder the energy spread faster with them.

Those animals who ate plants to survive wonʼt get affected for now.”

The group returned to the camp and informed everyone of what happened in the forest. They were all terrified and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but they couldnʼt and only waited for Leng Jun to wake up. After eating enough that night, everyone went to sleep except for those on night duties.

In the West Territories...

At the borders of Ice Mountain, the King of Beasts had finally reached the entrance to the ice mountains; unfortunately, at the feet of the mountain, a thick fog blocks their path. Leonhart sent some inside but they all came out wounded and instantly fainted once they are outside the foggy path.

The King of Beasts knew that their path is being hindered intentionally but an Elemental King. But based on what he is sensing, this Elemental King is indeed weaker than the Ice Elemental Wolf King he fought. He immediately lost interest in fighting against this elemental king, but his kin all tried to enter the path to ascending to the path towards the ice mountains.

They all ended up wounded yet their crazed state made them want to climb up once more time.

At the beginning, Leonhart Reiner still helped in restraining his kin. In the end, they couldnʼt be stop at all. Only when he saw that none of them returned dead, he no longer hold them back and watch the scene. Slowly, his feeling fades as the light in his eyes lightens and becomes purer.

This lasted for three days until the Elemental King that rules the ice mountain finally could no longer watch the scene at his own gates.

{King of Beasts! How long are you going to stay in my territory!}

Upon hearing the enraged voice of the Ice Elemental Ninetailed Fox in his mind. The Beast King wasnʼt surprised. It was obvious that this elemental kings possessed different kinds of ability. This kind of ability, which is like telepathy, isnʼt surprising.

The King of Beast, Leonhart, said, ”You are finally willing to speak to me. Ice Elemental Ninetailed Fox, I have a few questions. I wonder if you are willing to give me the answers. I will take my leave and no longer bother after I get what I want.”

{Sigh~ ask away. I can only answer three questions.}

”I wanted to ask if there is a way to remove the chaos energy in mine and my kinʼs body,” asked Leonhart.

{There is no way for mortals to remove it and even the Elemental Emperor is incapable of doing it. You have to find a more powerful god. Only the Upper Realm might be able to know how to remove it.}

”Upper Realm. The one in the Myth? The world of gods! That place truly exist!?”

{It exist.}

”Second question. Can my kin still save?”

{Except for you, the other beastmen had been fully affected. They could no longer be stopped.}

This response is no different from the words of the Ice Elemental Wolf King. The King of Beasts felt his heart stabbed. He didnʼt know how to react and could only let out a long and deep sigh.

”Last question. How is the chaos energy you speak spreading?” asked the Beast King Leonhart.

{In this world, it has already spread. For those who were affected, even death, the chaos energy remains; it would never fade. Once its flesh is eaten, the chaos energy will be transferred. As long as it is consumed, it will cause anything to go mad. You guys brought real calamity to this world. The moment you arrive on this star, it is doomed to be destroyed.}

At this moment, Leonhart recalled the corpses of his fallen kin that he left behind before heading to this region and was enlightened by the Ice ELemental Ninetail Foxʼs words.

{Iʼve given you the answers you need. You must leave.}

{My last advice. You can retain your rationality longer and maybe reach the Upper Realm once you devour the drop of divinity the Elemental Emperor possessed.}

RUMBLES~ WHOOSH~

As soon as the voice faded, the sound of something shaking was heard, and the whole land was rumbling. An intentional avalanche fell on these beastmen, and they were washed down of the west region. The next moment the King of Beasts opened his eyes, he was no longer at the foot of the ice mountains.

Looking around his kin, all died under that avalanche, the attachment in his mind had disappeared completely.

Experience more tales on empire

Leonhart Reiner looked at the towering figure at the center of the world. Even if he was far away couldfrom it, he can still figure it out. Like a mountain that seemingly reached the sky and the heavens above.

”Ice Elemental Emperor. The Snow God...” he mumbles. He didnʼt know that the gray shade in his eyes turned even lighter the next moment he opened his eyes.
