Chapter 384: Inspector"s Order, Seal the Realm!
"What happened?"
"Why is the sky suddenly dark? Is it going to rain? That can"t be right. It shouldn"t be so dark even on a rainy day. Besides, this is the Red Rock Town area. It usually doesn"t rain here!"
Outside the Lava Fire Cave, many Sprite Trainers were bewildered.
Some sprites with sharp senses whimpered and cowered, feeling that a terrifying existence was about to appear.
The spread of the monarch"s might, on the other hand, wasn"t very wide. The people outside the Lava Fire Cave couldn"t sense it, but…
At the scene, the applicants and Dark Society Sprite Trainers in the core area started to feel the dark sky pressing down on them with the weight of a mountain. Many sprites looked at the black-robed figure in the center of the elemental storm and couldn"t help but have the urge to kneel down and kowtow to it.
All of the other ghost-element sprites really did kneel down on the spot!
They couldn"t resist at all!
Compared to the Steel G.o.d Soldier, the black-robed sprite standing high in the sky with a crown on its head was a true monarch. It was like a supreme existence descending into the mortal world, like a ghost king overlooking the world!
The black screen had now enveloped the sky.
Ah Yan, which had just broken through to monarch rank, had an aura that was still slowly increasing. Countless people widened their eyes in disbelief.
In a place the others couldn"t see, the energy of Shadow Spirit Jade of different sizes was sucked out of the shadow s.p.a.ce. The sparkling black jade instantly turned gray and cracked into pieces.
In a separate cubicle, rich shadow energy floated and was quickly extracted and poured into the Yama Ghost King"s body.
During the whole process, Ah Yan didn"t lose a single strand of energy!
The shadow s.p.a.ce itself was the largest energy reserve pool. Su Hao had long stored various materials there for Ah Yan. He wasn"t afraid of having insufficient energy supply for Ah Yan when breaking through at all!
Therefore, even if Ah Yan was currently absorbing energy at a rapid improvement after breaking through, it didn"t need to be restricted by the limited energy in the field. With a simple gesture, countless shadow energy surged out, allowing it to form a ghost claw that blotted out the sky. It was twice as big as before the breakthrough, and the density of the energy was incomparable. It easily tore apart the gray-gold light that was dozens of meters long.
The Ghost Claw slashed forward as if there was nothing in its way.
s.p.a.ce buzzed and shook.
When the Steel G.o.d Soldier saw this, it didn"t dare to continue the fight… The courage it had been trying to maintain for so long was based on the fact that black-robed sprite"s aura would be chaotic after failing to break through. However, at this moment, not only was the Yama Ghost King not weakened, it even succeeded in breaking through.
How could anyone expect it to be able to keep fighting?
When the black-robed sprite was only a pseudo monarch, it was already hard for the Steel G.o.d Soldier to defeat it.
Immediately…
The Steel G.o.d Soldier flapped its steel wings, and the gray figure turned into a stream of light and flew far away.
In the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds of meters away.
Its Steel Wings weren"t good for anything except for the extremely fast speed, not at all inferior to wind-element sprites that were good at flying.
However…
Its opponent was Ah Yan, the Yama Ghost King, the ruler of Shadow.
With a shake of its black robe, its entire figure disappeared into the shadows and disappeared. In the next moment, it appeared in front of the Steel G.o.d Soldier, which had already escaped two to three thousand meters away.
The Ghost G.o.d Claw blasted down.
It swatted the Steel G.o.d Soldier down from the sky like it was swatting a fly.
Boom!
The Steel G.o.d Soldier was smashed down, blasting a huge pit in the reddish-brown ground. But right after, the Ghost G.o.d Claw pressed down again from the sky.
Boom!
Hundreds of meters of ground cracked, and a circle of soil and rocks exploded. Countless fire pillars spewed out from the ground, but were instantly swallowed by the power of the shadow.
After a while, when the energy of the Ghost G.o.d Claw was exhausted and disappeared, what appeared on the ground was a huge Ghost Claw imprint. In the deep imprint, dark shadow energy that was as dense as black smoke drifted. It was extremely cold.
But at this moment, the body of the Steel G.o.d Soldier was nowhere to be found.
Its aura had also dissipated.
…
"A mighty monarch rank isn"t that easy to kill… it was probably summoned back to the city!"
Monarch rank life force was extremely strong. If the Sand Earthworm Dragon didn"t self-destruct back then, it could have at least stalled for a while longer.
A while earlier, the Sprite Trainer of the Steel G.o.d Soldier had sensed that something was wrong and immediately called his sprite back.
Su Hao was quite glad that the other party did this.
"Gurgle ~"
b.u.t.terfly waved its hand, indicating that it had already planted its mark.
The location it sensed was about 14 to 15 kilometers southwest.
But soon…
"Gurgle ~!" Its little face puffed up, looking a little angry and serious.
b.u.t.terfly was slowly losing its connection to the imprint planted on the Steel G.o.d Soldier, and it was already becoming very difficult for it to sense the imprint"s exact location.
"This Dark Society Heavenly King isn"t as weak as I thought…"
…
At this moment…
Several kilometers away from the Lava Fire Cave, a miserable-looking Steel G.o.d Soldier appeared.
It was only after communicating in person was the Dark Society Heavenly King able to learn about the more detailed battle process.
The Dark Society Heavenly King"s expression couldn"t help but become solemn. "What exactly is this black-robed sprite? Why does it have such terrifying battle power?"
He looked to his side.
Apart from the Steel G.o.d Soldier, the Heavenly King of the Dark Society also had another monarch sprite, the t.i.tanium Wolf. This was a werewolf sprite that stood on its feet. Its grayish-white fur was also erect like steel needles.
Its body wasn"t big, only about two meters tall, but its sharp aura made even Steel G.o.d Soldier fearful.
t.i.tanium Wolf was the true trump card of this Dark Society Heavenly King!
"If the t.i.tanium Wolf and the Steel G.o.d Soldier join forces, they can kill that black-robed sprite. However… the appearance of the black-robed sprite was very sudden. We can"t rule out the possibility that a Heavenly King from the Union is hiding somewhere… This might be a trap!"
Even if the Dark Society Heavenly King thought that the probability of a Heavenly King hiding in the dark was only 20-30%, he didn"t want to take this risk.
It wasn"t worth it!
"For safety reasons…"
He looked at the t.i.tanium Wolf…
The t.i.tanium Wolf grabbed the arms of the Steel G.o.d Soldier. Golden light seemed to shoot out of its sharp eyes, and its sharp aura continuously attacked the Steel G.o.d Soldier like a tide.
1 second pa.s.sed!
10 seconds!
30 seconds!
The t.i.tanium Wolf only stopped when the Steel G.o.d Soldier"s armor made cracking sounds and its body felt a little painful from the sharp aura.
"Let"s go!"
The Dark Society Heavenly King said.
He ordered the Steel G.o.d Soldier to fly towards the west, while he himself laid on the back of the t.i.tanium Wolf and hurried towards Red Rock Town.
…
In the center of Lava Fire Cave.
Ah Yan"s figure fell from the sky, its black robe fluttering. Even though it had restrained its aura, it still made the applicants s.h.i.+ver.
This sprite…
"Hu~"
Ah Yan lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong… It shouldn"t have let the Steel G.o.d Soldier escape.
"It"s not your fault."
Su Hao patted its robe and stopped Ah Yan from moving into the shadows. Then, he looked at the applicants. "Wait here for a while. I"ll come back after making a trip to Red Rock Town."
Come, mount!
He snapped his fingers.
Dumb Unicorn"s figure appeared. A cloud supported its body and shot into the sky with a whoosh.
For this trip, apart from the Dumb Unicorn, Su Hao only brought b.u.t.terfly, Ah Yan and the other sprites stayed behind to continue guarding the Crow"s advancement ritual, or to catch the fleeing Black a.s.sociation Sprite Trainers if any of them went their way.
Su Hao stood on the cloud and flew towards Red Rock Town.
The blue-white cloud gradually changed its color. As Dumb Unicorn flew, countless scenes flashed behind it.
In less than three minutes, Red Rock Town appeared in their vision.
It was still bustling with people coming and going.
Su Hao looked at the World Entrance. The inspector badge in his hand shone brightly.
"Given the special circ.u.mstances and as the inspector, I order for the Red Rock Town to be sealed shut!"
