Chapter 495: Battle 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not purifying the Origin on a stormy day would originally be considered inadequate. But since the Cthulhu King's will had voluntarily came out, it was an entirely different story.

Under the blue and white light, Garen did not have any intentions of taking action. He merely stood still and turned his head to continue looking at the Origin in the tactic formation.

Beckstone and Tina watched Garen with extreme caution. They didn't dare to get too close, hence they stayed close to the wall while walking towards Hannet and his uncle.

The hut was terrifyingly quiet. Only the crackling sounds from the blue lightning arcs could be heard from time to time.

As the blue light glowed on Garen's face, it seemed to reflect a hint of coldness.

As the strange aura of the Cthulhu's Origin became denser, some white gas was slowly diffusing out. The gas seemed intangible, appearing and then disappearing again.

Crash!!

Garen's hands suddenly tremored. He threw the remaining Cthulhu's Origins accurately into the middle of the tactic formation.

Crack!!

Suddenly, there was a roll of thunder in the sky outside the house.

All the people from the village raised their head in shock. The weather was originally clear, but large amounts of clouds suddenly gathered together quickly.

"What are those!!?" Someone cried out.

All the villagers were stunned. They dropped whatever they held in their hands. Those that were in their houses ran out. Some of them were carrying their children.

Everyone stared at the sky.

The sky was originally clear, without any clouds. As they watched, more and more clouds gathered.

"No! Those are not clouds!" The village chief who was holding a staff raised his head and spoke.

At that moment, it was as if the huge white clouds instantly became red, as if they had been doused in red ink.

In the hut

There was a passionate smile on Garen's face. He raised one of his hands and grasped at the sky.

The whole roof was corroded silently, like melting candles or snow. There was a large round hole within a few minutes.

Chiiii!!!!!

From the middle of the tactic formation, a red light beam suddenly shot towards the sky. Sharp cries came endlessly. The whole hut disintegrated instantly. Like the roof, the four walls quietly melted into oblivion.

Hannet and the rest had to escape from the hut. Beckstone protected everyone, forming a hemisphere of golden totem light. The crowd looked at the beam from afar in horror.

As the blood-red beam broke through the red clouds in the sky, numerous air streams surrounded it and rotated under high speed.

Garen stood in front of the beam and lifted his head towards the sky, as though the sharp cries and giant tremors did not affect him at all.

In the sky above, numerous blood-colored clouds gathered quickly, forming the shape of a giant face.

The blood-colored face was like a thin mask. There was a silver-faced, red-robed man standing out its right pupil.

From above, the red-robed man glanced down, meeting Garen's gaze.

The wind was howling and the blood-colored clouds were rolling. The whole sky became dark as the sun was completely blocked by the plentiful blood-colored clouds. Only the gigantic blood-colored face and the silver-faced, red-robed man on its left pupil remained.

"You shouldn't have lured me out." The Cthulhu King's voice was metrosexual, unable to determine his gender.

"Have a battle with me." Garen smacked his lips. There was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "I tried my best to use the will in the Origin as bait, luring your true self. It wasn't to have a casual chat with you."

The two eyes under the Cthulhu King's mask glowed in red and gave Garen a glance.

"You are not my opponent. Enough strong men have died at my hands."

Before the voice ended, he lifted his hand and pressed downwards.

Suddenly, a beam of red light fell from the sky like thunder.

Bang!!

The pillar descended and shot towards Garen's location at an amazing speed.

Bang!

Garen lifted his hands to block it. Numerous red light arcs passed by his two sides like water. He was fiercely pressured, almost into the ground. The black totem light around him also changed its shape due to the pressure.

"Fragile." The Cthulhu King's scornful voice came from the sky above. Suddenly, the red glow in his eyes dimmed. "Yes? I'll let you go this time. The next time, you won't be so fortunate."

Before he finished his words, the face in the sky dissipated, forming numerous red clouds which eventually disappeared. The Cthulhu King himself also disappeared.

The giant red light slowly disappeared after a few seconds.

Majority of Garen's body had been completely pressured into the ground. Even totem light couldn't withstand such a terrifying attack.

The giant beam pressured him and left him speechless.

After the red light completely dispersed, Garen stood on the ground in rage. The Cthulhu King's explosiveness was far stronger than he had imagined. But it didn't mean he couldn't defend against it. It was just that he didn't adapt in time. As he was about to counter-attack, he never thought the Cthulhu King would flee!

The explosiveness of the Cthulhu King's martial arts was far stronger than the Black Water True Technique. Its power was also abnormally terrifying. It wasn't as dense as the Black Water True Technique, but its power was far superior. However, with that incident, it meant that he'd been left speechless by a casual attack from the Cthulhu King. This caused the ancient Nine-Headed Hydra's ego to be severely provoked.

The environment around was quiet. No one dared to speak for fear of attracting Garen's rage. The villagers had already retreated from the village under the leadership of the experienced chief. They were watching from the outer forest.

Hannet, Beckstone and the rest under the protection of the golden hemisphere also looked at the scene in fear. In a battle of fifth forms, even the aftermath left Beckstone's golden protection hemisphere full of cracks. A bit more power would completely shatter it.

Garen was suppressing his rage when he saw Beckstone's group from afar. He suddenly waved his hand.

Roar!!

Poisonous gas in the shape of a black dragon rushed over and collided with the golden protection hemisphere.

After collided on the hemisphere with a crack, it fiercely lashed at Beckstone's body.

Bang!

As if being punched from a close distance by someone, Beckstone and the rest were blown away, colliding fiercely with the wall behind.

"What are you doing!!" Tina wasn't severely hurt as most of the force was blocked by Beckstone. "Can't defeat the Cthulhu King then take us as punching bags!? Now I know that the Lord of Black Swamp Palace is a villain. I used to think you were an incredibly strong master! I was wrong!" She got to her feet and shouted loudly.

"Stop talking Tina!" Beckstone caught hold of Tina and stood in front of her. Blood was flowing from the edges of his mouth.

Hannet also got on his feet. His face was pale. He helped his uncle up, whose head was covered in blood. His expression was full of rage.

Garen had a strange sense of guilt on his face instead. The rage on his face disappeared instantly. It was as if he was performing a face-changing act. His expression quickly became calm.

"I'm sorry. I was impulsive in the moment. Hannet lured out the Cthulhu King for me and helped me so much. Yet I attacked you. It's my fault."

He had no expression at that point in time. Tina who had a strong intuition could easily see if one was sincere. At that time, she actually felt that Garen was sincerely apologizing.

"It's my fault this time. I should've killed you today Beckstone. Unfortunately…." Garen let out a sigh of regret, then became a black cloud and disappeared on the spot.

The surroundings were quiet without any other noises. Only the sound of the wind blowing above the village could be heard.

In a wooden hut behind Beckstone.

Two white-robed men and women looked at each other and laughed. The shining green seeds in their hands slowly dimmed.

"He sensed our presence." The man spoke softly.

"What about that? With the Seed of Light, we only have to chant the spell to bring Beckstone away. Even if he attacked it won't be beneficial for him." The girl smiled. "We have troubled you this time."

"Why do you mention this between us?" The guy shook his head. "Sisley, what do you plan to do next?"

"We don't have much time. The Nine-Headed Hydra should have entered the separation stage. It is troublesome. He is on the same level as Phiroth, very troublesome. To fuse the totem's blood vessels and will into the body to achieve complete fusion in spirit, not only the man would affect the totem, the totem will also affect the man. However, he can independently use the totem's mode, to form a perfect totem fusion power for battle. Not many can surpass him in actual strength."

"This guy is so young, yet had already entered this level.." The guy said in regret. "Let's not bother about him. Once Hellgate awakens, he will also be one of our greatest helpers. Let's consider how to handle the Clash of Clans."

"I've already contacted the kings of the three regions. This time we can't go, or…." The girl whispered but the man held her hand tightly. Warmth came from the man's hand.

"Don't worry. I will always be by your side."

The girl lifted her face and revealed a young, gentle face. She leaned into the man's embrace.

Two of them turned and instantly became green light, then disappeared.

　　*****************

Garen was traveling at high speeds in the forest. He was a like a black line on a green carpet, incredibly evident.

As the warm sun shone from above, his shadow wasn't left behind.

After running for some time, he came to a sudden halt. He closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. The Cthulhuism Society's major rendezvous point wasn't far away.

After being defeated by the Cthulhu King, the ancient Nine-Headed Hydra's will was displeased. Garen decided to look for a group of Cthulhus that could be easily found.

Moreover in a head to head battle, not to mention himself, even the stronger Phiroth couldn't take on the Cthulhu King plus the other eighteen Cthulhus together. Immortality was the terrifying point of the Cthulhus. Even by grinding, they could wear out a majority of elites.

He could sense the aura and voice of a Cthulhuism Society stronghold from afar.

Garen leaped onto a large tree branch and crouched on it.

"It's getting more and more exciting." He mumbled and looked at the Cthulhuism Society stronghold in the distance. It was shaped like a red bucket.

As he was about to attack Beckstone, he suddenly sensed an unknown teleportation power surrounding Beckstone and the rest. This power was very difficult to sense as it kept appearing and disappearing. There were also two strong auras around that were incredibly in sync.

The intense vitality in the aura made him think of the Terraflor Society. Only plant totems would have that kind of aura.

Terraflor Society was always under the radar, but Garen knew about the original history. He didn't forget one bit. After Hellgate's awakening, Sisley, the Terraflor's leader, one of the elites that could take on Hellgate in the East Continent will also be awakened. The battle between was even recorded extensively in the history of the universe.

All this while, the Terraflor Society had been led by the elders. Their leaders could not be found and their tracks were uncertain. However, after Hellgate's awakening, they were forced to appear to avoid the total destruction of the Terraflor Society.

Sisley was actually a woman. However, her husband has to be included in her abilities. In other words, the Terraflor Society's strongest force was actually this couple combined. Both of their core totems were a plant totem called Dual-Love Flower. The nature of this plant was one pair for a lifetime. They were connected like lovers, staying with each other in life and death. With the combined strength of the two of them, they managed to fight Hellgate. Of course, there were other factors, but they managed to hold Hellgate off for a substantial period of time.

Garen was organizing the original history in his mind. He roughly calculated the upcoming situation. After his latest upgrade, his core totem was in a unique state. It was in a state of the ancestral Nine-Headed Hydra's will, which allowed him to unleash the strongest battle ability.

The Black Water True Technique stabilized at the thirteenth level. He forced each level with each of his dragon heads.

Garen recorded the changes of every level, so the students in the Black Swamp Palace could master it as well. Since they didn't have the Nine-Headed Hydra's blood, they could never be as strong as Garen. However, if they trained it to the peak, they would at least be far stronger than a normal fourth form. If they were fortunate to find a core totem that fit well with the Black Water True Technique, they might have an opportunity to enter the fifth form.
