Emham Forest, Ratmawati City.

It seems the situation has never ceased to keep on escalating, like an increasing stampede, threatening to crush the operation that Prof. K and Giana desperately need to complete. A literal nightmare that the two need to go through.

Giana, in particular, suffered the crippling anxiety the most.

Each time an attack was about to hit her, the flash of the military woman being killed by Adhara and Evelyn flashes inside her mind. A sight that she doesnʼt want to see ever again, she was the one that is directly responsible for that.

Due to her evil, she birthed two more evils into this world.

Additionally, those two more evils are crueler than her, and she wanted to undo that.

Fueled by a fierce and unyielding motivation for her, Giana keeps on standing her ground. Despite the Awakenedʼs numbers that keep on increasing thanks to the Intra-technology warning, she keeps on fighting without end, her body moved on autopilot.

She disregards the fatigue and pain that overwhelmed her senses.

On the other hand, at the center of it all, another fearsome threat has joined the battle.

Hastios lowers his stance cautiously at the sight of the figure.

Scanning around the place, the ninth-rank realm Awakened, a man of fire then said while stepping towards Hastios, ”These people do pick the most annoying time to attack. I can see now why President Sebrof was reduced to that state, heʼs becoming soft, politics gets to him”

Embers of fire can be seen flickering around his body, his appearance is daunting.

Just the sight of this ninth-rank realm Awakened alone, the other Awakened that were low on morale from not being able to beat the traitors instantly sky-rocketed again. Itʼs incredible how one Awakened could change the shift of the battle this fast.

Standing across Hastios was a bare-chested man and his hair is a blazing fire.

A calm yet powerful and steady gaze decorates the manʼs face, showing the countless battles that he has gone through and survived. In addition, the man wore a pair of shoulder pieces and a red cape that hung off his athletic lean body. His gauntlets were even more impressive, sure powerful weapons, dripping with molten lava.

Crash!

Taking another powerful step, the man then smiled and tilts his head slightly.

”But unlike President Sebrof, Iʼm not that soft. Iʼm not going to be soft on a rebellion, we donʼt want it to grow, didnʼt we?” the man added with a scornful look, his eyes fixed on Hastios before shifting to the advanced teleportation formation behind him.

Upon seeing this, the man slightly nods and looks back at Hastios again.

It was then Hastios can feel that the man was about to make a move, and as expected, the man suddenly dashed straight towards him like a literal bullet. Very fast, Hastios couldnʼt keep up for a brief second.

Finding that the right gauntlet is scorching with fire, Hastios raised his sword in defense.

Despite being caught off guard he managed to use his nature energy to enhance the sword in preparation for the attack, planting his feet firmly on the ground, ʼI need to lure him away from this place, but heʼs already fixed on attacking the formation. I have no choice but to stand my groundʼ he thought.

Since the man already eyed the formation, Hastios have no choice but to stay.

Albeit that was the case, he already started to plan how he will move after receiving this attack. In the first clash, the man should try to gauge how strong he is, and he could use that to his advantage.

But contrary to what he was thinking, the man smirked evilly.

Out of nowhere, Hastios can feel a gush of arcane mana and spirit energy concentrated in the manʼs right gauntlet, the level of energy that gathered shocks him as the man doesnʼt seem to be sparing a single strength and decided to go all-out from the get-go.

”Pneuma Spell, Reign of Fire...”

Immediately after he chanted that, he drives his fiery gauntlets in a straight punch.

The man puts twisted his torso in doing that straight punch, he was clearly giving it his all. Additionally, when his fist lunges forward, a dragonʼs head manifested on the gauntlet and seemed to be roaring menacingly.

Upon colliding with the sword, Hastios widened his eyes at the force of the punch.

It was so powerful that his feet were lifted off of the ground.

Furthermore, the nature energy that Hastios conjure to enhance his sword was completely broken through as the heat from the fire travels through the body of the blade all the way down to the hilt, turning the sword into a scorching metal.

Hastios groaned when he felt the pain, and instinctively let go of his sword.

But seeing this, the man laughs, his power soared once again to the peak, ”Iʼm not done yet!”

Contrary to the Pneuma Slepp finishing, the man drives his fist further and managed to hit Hastios right in the guts. Following that, the dragonʼs head on the gauntlet blasts forward and sends Hastios crashing away.

Under the power of the dragonʼs head, Hastios didnʼt stop at all.

Anything that stands in the way were broken through instantly until eventually, a loud crashing sound can be heard in the distance as he crashes into the northern part of Emham Forestʼs walls.

The family head that was watching this from behind was excited at the sight of this.

But the man then glanced over to the family head and said with a commanding tone, ”Go and finish off that Elf, I will stop those people from being teleported away and also destroy the teleportation formation”

Upon hearing this, the family head gladly complies and dashes away.

Once the head family had gone away, the manʼs gaze shifted to Prof. K. He was hunched over the teleportation formation unmoving, pouring energy into it to teleport the next batch while his back was facing the onlooker.

Looking at this, the man grabbed Hastiosʼ green sword before he strides forward.

Just as he got closer to Prof. K with a scornful look, the man heard mumbling sounds coming from him. It was inaudible as his mumble is very light, in a whispering manner, yet he seems to be repeating the same thing over and over again.

”My responsibility...”

”Secure the future...”

”My responsibility...”

In the manʼs view, Prof. K has already lost it and he couldnʼt help but shakes his head.

”When I arrived here, I heard about these messengers from the SCO, an organization that managed to be on par with the UWO. But to be honest, I was expecting way more than something this pitiful from you” the man said condescendingly.

But as he was about to stab Prof. K, something happened.

”HEEUUAARGHHH!!”

Out of nowhere, Prof. K screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice was hoarse and is reverberating throughout the entirety of Emham Forest. It was an all-out scream with a broken voice.

Liliya on the other side of the forest feels a shiver running down her spine.

”Prof. K...?”

Although the voice was a broken one and was hardly recognizable, she concluded that it was Prof. K judging from the direction it was coming from. She had never heard Prof. K raise his voice to her, much less scream like this, and it terrifies her to the core.

It was then, green smoke burst forth like a tidal of mist from Prof. Kʼs body.

One can see Prof. Kʼs body deteriorating and his skin breaking down as the green smoke covered the entire Emham Forest fully, he was in incredible pain to let out this much power, and it was depicted by his painful expression.

If not for his Werewolf regeneration, he would definitely die if he exerts himself to this extent.

Feeling the prickly sensation on the surface of his skin, the man quickly realizes that the green smoke is poisonous, and he decided to coat his body with his own fire to repel the poison smoke and protect himself.

ʼHmph! Even if you cover the entire forest, the formation will still stay at the same spotʼ

Despite the entirety of Emham Forest was covered in green smoke, the advanced teleportation formation is surely still at the same spot. The man was only a couple of steps away from it, so he was not worried.

But as he takes a step forward, he suddenly felt something grabbing onto him.

When he spun around to see what was grabbing onto him, the man saw a startling sight. Multiple copies of Prof. K are holding him, restraining him in his spot. In response, he instinctively brandished his green sword and tried to cleave them in half.

However, they dispersed upon contact, breaking apart into more wisps of emerald smoke.

Meanwhile, Prof. K was panting heavily with his body slowly being weakened.

In actuality, he didnʼt cover the entire Emham Forest with green smoke and only concentrated every single power inside of him on the man, putting him in a hallucination that paralyzed him on his spot.

One of the uses of his power, the poisonous green smoke can do many things.

Albeit he was able to put the man in a hallucination, he knows that he canʼt keep this up. The pace of his body deteriorating and breaking down has become faster, and his regenerative ability started to be left behind.

Despite that fact, Prof. K will still endure, at least until he teleported a couple more batches.

Under the immense stress, his body was experiencing right now, blood started to seep out of his nose and his breathing has become heavier with each breath. It was then, he suddenly stopped breathing for a couple of seconds.

Prof. Kʼs eyes widened slightly before he looks down at his chest.

Seeing a green sword impaling his chest, he was shocked, and his mind then registered what had happened before a burning sensation filled his chest. The man has broken through the hallucination.

He broke it so fast, it seems the man is not a ninth-rank realm nobody.

Blood drizzles down from the corner of Prof. Kʼs mouth as he felt his eyes becoming hazy, yet a whisper then came from the back, ”Donʼt be stubborn, stop keeping the formation active or you will die here”

”No... I will not stop. No matter what you do, I will not stop” Prof. K replied stubbornly.

Upon hearing this, the man pulls the sword out and exposes a devious smile. He played with the green sword while still looking at Prof. K, ”If thatʼs the case, then letʼs test your resolve, shall we...?”

Not even hesitating, the man began slashing Prof. K with his sword playfully.

Multiple bloody scratches and nicks were left on Prof. Kʼs back, almost as if the man was painting something. The fabric of his robe slowly tore away with each slash, eventually revealing the wounded frail skin underneath.

It was a disturbing sight, Prof. Kʼs senses has become numb, and he could only feel pain.

At some point in the playful torturing process, his vision started to become blurry and his eyelids began to become heavier, ʼI- I need to hold on, every little thing counts. The people, the future... I need to fulfill my responsibilityʼ

While Prof. K started to lose consciousness, the man started laughing.

Showing not a single sliver of mercy, he keeps on cutting Prof. Kʼs back open violently.

But as he continues this barbarity, a shadow came from the side and forces the man to abruptly stop. The shadow was fast, and the man couldnʼt even react before he got hit in the face and sent crashing to the side.

Recovering quickly, the man gazes at the pale figure with two fangs poking out of her mouth.

”Hahh~ Iʼm going to have fun with you...”

Just as the womanly figure said that two other creatures came out of the portal leading to the Cluster Domain which widened the manʼs eyes completely. Those figures look like damned creatures, anomalies that shouldnʼt be seen.

It didnʼt stop there as the man could hear the shouts from the others around him.

Glancing to the side, the man realizes that the Awakened were fighting amongst each other. But as it turns out, there are other parties that joined the fight, two parties to be exact belonging to the 25 Golden Crest Families.

One of them rampages through, slaughtering with extreme speed.

”Daniel Burton...?” the man uttered in surprise.

But his eyes then darted to the other side where the Awakened from Mistin Family suddenly lost control of their bodies, and in the next second, they grabbed their heads and breaks their own neck.

Upon seeing this, the man frowns once again, ”Lady Lauren too?!”
