Chapter 108: Battle begins
Immediately, the large ice boulders before her fell rapidly towards the 7-meter-tall King Kong. The massive ice boulders, like meteors, mercilessly slammed into the giant King Kong.
"Argh..."
Boom, boom, boom...
The King Kong raged, pounding its chest repeatedly, preparing to face the large ice boulders with its powerful fists.
Boom...
The King Kong's fist sent the first ice boulder flying back and shattered it into pieces.
Boom...
Another large ice boulder came, and just like before, it was sent flying back and shattered to bits.
Argh...
The third ice boulder approached. However, this time the King Kong dodged and ran to the side. "I won't let you," said Hana from the sky as she flew with the Vortex Plate. She redirected the ice meteor's trajectory towards the King Kong.
Seeing that Lein still hadn't released his grip on his neck, Wiko Suryo felt even more terrified in his heart. He then tried to scream and looked at the other man who had come with him.
"Master Fian, please help me!" screamed Wiko Suryo.
The man named Fian ignored Wiko Suryo's screams; he watched the man with the dragon tattoo facing Gusti and Hana. "How can a realm that hasn't even existed for two months produce level 3 individuals like this? And it's not just one; there are five of them," said the man named Fian to himself.
A slight fear arose in the heart of the man named Fian; he searched for a teleportation talisman in his storage ring. But his action suddenly halted as a large cross quickly headed toward him.
*Tang...*
The sound of a clash between a one-meter-long white sword and a golden cross echoed. The man named Fian was thrown 10 meters back.
"Impossible," said the man named Fian, horrified. He knew his own strength very well; how could he not repel that holy cross?
"Take this!" shouted Laras from afar. She was now running and rushing toward the man named Fian. Her cross, which had flown previously, had returned to her hand, spinning around her body as she ran.
The man named Fian was no longer as relaxed as before; he activated his skill. The holy halo on his back expanded and grew until it had a diameter of 10 meters. At each interval along the circle, there were white orbs emitting a terrifying power.
Not stopping there, the man named Fian took out a boomerang-shaped object. The weapon was black with sharp serrated edges.
*Sashh...*
The man threw the boomerang in his hand at Laras with all his strength. Then, it was followed by more than a dozen energy balls shooting from the holy halo behind him.
*Boom...*
*Duar...*
The light energy balls were extremely fast and exploded on impact. Laras was agile and easily dodged all the incoming energy balls. But when she saw the black boomerang approaching, she stopped, and her large cross stopped spinning and stood right in front of her.
*Duar...*
The black boomerang and the large white cross collided. A massive explosion occurred, even causing Laras to leap back a little.
The explosion's smoke cleared, and the boomerang returned to the man with the large holy halo. Meanwhile, Laras' large white cross remained standing firmly without a scratch.
While the others were fighting, Master Arok and the bald old man approached Lein and Nita.
"Master Lein, Princess Nita," said the bald old man to Lein and Nita while carrying the dying Master Arok.
Nita noticed the arrival of Master Arok and the bald old man. Her eyes immediately focused on the large wound on Master Arok's chest; every time he breathed, fresh blood would spurt out. If a human before acquiring the system had suffered the same wound, it would have been certain they would have died a few minutes ago, not even lasting a minute.
"How did you get this wound?" Nita asked as she squatted down to examine Master Arok's wound. The wound was indeed very severe.
"That man is responsible for it, Princess," said the bald old man supporting Master Arok. He pointed at Wiko Suryo, who was currently motionless with his neck gripped by Lein.
"Brother, we should torture that man first. He's the cause of all this," said Nita to Lein as she took out a high-grade medicine bottle from her bag.
"Yes, I think so too," replied Lein, looking at Wiko Suryo, who was pretending to be dead in his hands.
"Who offered you to join the Blood Race?" Lein asked calmly. He didn't actually expect to get an answer from Wiko Suryo, but he hoped to obtain some useful information to trace the mastermind behind it all.
"I was wrong, Master Lein, please release me first," said Wiko Suryo with difficulty.
*Argh...*
Wiko Suryo's groan was heard after he begged for release from Lein's hand. Not only did Lein not release him, but he also tightened his grip, showing no intention of letting go.
Silent...
Wiko Suryo remained firm in his stance, his mouth moving as if he wanted to speak, but he forced himself not to open his mouth.
Seeing that Wiko Suryo had no intention of speaking, Lein raised his left hand. A white aura emanated from his fingertips. Then Lein placed his left hand on Wiko Suryo's forehead.
*Argh...*
*Argh...*
Wiko Suryo's agonized screams were heard, even causing the men named Fian and Kilan to momentarily divert their attention. The previously eagle-like appearance of Wiko Suryo, with golden feathers covering his entire body, had now disappeared, returning to his original state. His strength also dropped drastically; in an instant, Wiko Suryo seemed like an ordinary human.
Others might think that Wiko Suryo had intentionally deactivated his power, but Wiko Suryo's eyes were filled with limitless terror, staring into the empty air in front of him in disbelief.
A few seconds earlier, before Lein directed his left hand towards Wiko Suryo's forehead, Wiko had received an unusual notification from his system.
[Warning: A powerful force is trying to deactivate the system. Immediately evade and retreat.]
[Warning: External power is too strong, failed to resist.]
[System blocked.]
