The Cardboard Explorer

"… Mister Ben was eliminated easily like that and now you are telling me that he has not yet used his full power?" uttered one of the explorers with fear could be seen clearly on his face.

"This guy awakened bloodline feels much stronger than Mister Ben," said another explorer.

"Can we even beat this guy?!" said another explorer while his feet were moving backward.

Fear, shock, hopelessness could be seen on the face of everyone facing the emerald Boarman and that included Aera, Sera, Xing, Dianne, and Muruku.

Ben was hailed as their hope in conquering the Boarman world dungeon. However, he was killed easily by the emerald Boarman.

Though the battle was hard, everyone was high in spirit earlier because of Ben, Sera, and Aera but now, their spirit was at an all-time low. Ben"s death affected many people while the power emanating from the emerald Boarman inflicted extreme fear towards the others too.

The emerald Boarman saw the faces of everyone there and he could not help but laugh loudly, "Hahahahaha!!," the emerald Boarman was ecstatic with what he saw.

The scene in front of him was what he wanted to see. Added to that, one of his targets that he deemed worthy to be his opponent was killed by him.

"He is not as strong as me but it is fun fighting him anyway," said the emerald Boarman and he snickered and then his gaze landed on Sera and Aera.

"The redhead is more than what I expected and the green head surprises me a lot," said the emerald Boarman while he was charging his power and his fist was enveloped with the concentrated wind.

"Why are you not trying to stop them from destroying the main core?" Suddenly, Xing asked the emerald Boarman question. He did not know what he should do but he decided to buy some time for the others to destroy the main core.

The emerald Boarman glanced at Xing and said, "There is nothing for me to worry about. The main core is not that easy to be destroyed and it is much more fun fighting everyone here," and he smiled.

After the emerald Boarman said that, he immediately vanished and to Xing"s surprise, he could not feel his body and when he looked down, there were not there.

"I know you are trying to buy time and it is annoying," a voice whispered to his ear and he recognized that voice, the emerald Boarman"s voice. Xing"s view slowly narrowed and everything went dark a few seconds later.

No one expected for Xing to die that easily too and those that were full of fear earlier immediately tried to run away while everyone that still wanted to fight to charge their power and tried to defeat the emerald Boarman with everything they got.

However, the emerald Boarman was too fast and strong for them and in a second, many explorers died instantly with their whole body shredded to pieces.

No one knew what skill he used but everyone could guess that it must be something similar to wind knife or slash just with higher execution speed.

Aera and Sera who had the chance of hitting the emerald Boarman earlier were helpless as the emerald Boarman"s speed was too high for them to catch up.

They could only helplessly watch as everyone was killed. "Please! Whoever it is that is destroying the main core, do it fast or there will be more people dying," Dianne prayed in her heart when the emerald Boarman suddenly appeared in front of her.

Dianne gasped and her body was shredded to pieces instantly, "Interesting!" said the emerald Boarman as he saw Dianne"s body turned to water.

However, the next second, he appeared in front of someone else and killed them. He knew Dianne survived but he was fine with that as that made things much more interesting.

While the battle between the explorers and the emerald Boarman was happening, Cade, Rico, Jonathan, Shihoon and others were getting closer with the main core and they had charged more than enough of their power to strike the main core.

"Ready!" shouted Shihoon. They decided to launch their attack on a single point on the main core because they were afraid that the main core would not be destroyed.

"Now" Shihoon shouted again and everyone launched their attack. All kinds of attacks were released. However, to everyone"s surprise, only one of the attacks landed on the main core and the main core shattered to pieces.

"What?" everyone was shocked. How in the world were the main core this fragile? That was impossible. As the main target of the world dungeon, the main core should not be easily destroyed like that.

Everyone landed on the island below the main core and they looked blankly at the shattered main core.

"No notification from the system and that means, that is not the main core," said Cade snapping everyone back to reality.

"Then… where is the main core? The map doesn"t have any indicator of the main core," said Jonathan while he was checking the system"s mapping function.

Everyone did not know what to say as they had no clue as to where the location of the main core was. Everyone looked around the island to find the main core or any clue related to it but no avail.

"There is only one way to find," said Rico and he looked at the direction where the emerald Boarman was fighting.

"You are right. Or maybe if we can find the other Boarman, we can "ask" them the location of the main core," said Shihoon while he looked at the other floating island to see if he could spot any Boarman.

Asking the emerald Boarman was too big of a risk and it would be much more dangerous compared to the normal Boarman. If they could get the information from a normal Boarman, why risk their lives facing the emerald Boarman?

"I don"t think we can find any other Boarman. First of all, there are too many floating islands and it will take too much time to find one. Second, weirdly, our map had not once detected them since this event happened," said Rico and everyone nodded acknowledging what he said.

Rico was right, they did not even find one Boarman since the world Dungeon breaking into floating islands. The only Boarman they saw was the emerald, Boarman. The other Boarman seemed to have vanished.

They could not confirm if they have truly vanished because they were pressed for time. Everyone sighed as they all decided to confront the emerald Boarman and asked him the location of the main core.

They knew how strong the emerald Boarman was but there was nothing else they could do. They already realized that something bad had happened there as Ben"s power disappeared and newly awakened bloodline power could be felt.

They could already guess that it belonged to the emerald Boarman. Without wasting much time, they decided to head to the emerald Boarman when suddenly, they saw a figure flew directly towards them.

Shihoon immediately took out a picture and summoned a giant slime. That figure hit the giant slime and they saw who it was.

"Sera!!" both Rico and Cade shouted at the same time. Both of them went to the giant slime and to help her as she was in a really bad condition.

Cade had a stock of many potions he prepared before entering the world dungeon and used one of them immediately to Sera. Though they were not in a good relationship, at the moment, they were comrade and they needed to work together.

Sera drank the potion and her body slowly healed though not much but she regained some of her energy. She looked at Rico and Cade and then, she asked, "The main core?"

"That huge pearl is not the main core. We don"t know where the main core is," said Rico with a disappointed face.

"That Boarman said the right thing…" said Sera and everyone showed a questioning face. "There is no way we will be able to destroy the main core," said Sera and she suddenly cried.

Everyone there was stunned when she cried. Sera, the tomboyish and arrogant girl who always acted strong cried like how others were crying.

"That Boarman is too strong, we don"t stand a chance against him. Everyone was killed instantly by him. Aera is currently holding that Boarman but she won"t last long," said Sera with tears flowing down her face uncontrollably.

"He said that it is not that easy to destroy the main core and I have a hunch of what he meant but I cannot confirm it and now that I meet all of you, what I thought earlier is right," said Sera and she continued, "The main core is indeed hard to be destroyed."

While they were talking, something fell on the island and they could feel the strong power emanating from that thing, the emerald Boarman arrived.

"He… is the main core," said Sera while looking at the emerald Boarman. The emerald Boarman grinned.
