Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Familiar Faces [1]

Inside a cliff, a huge battle is occurring. The vibrations that it caused is the proof of how big that battle is.

"<Infinite Sword Phantoms>."

At his call, 10,000 illusory swords appeared. All of them took aim and attacked the SSS Ranked Dragon-clawed Poison Scorpion.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

...

As the illusory swords flew, some merged while some remained as it is. They all made the sound of cutting through air before piercing the Poison Scorpion. Less than 10 seconds later, its vital signs diminished before it died.

[750,000 EXP has been gained.]

"Cancel."

Instantly, all of the illusory swords disappeared, easing Lugh's energy consumption.

"That.. I finally felt just how strong it is."

During training, Lugh would often get attacked by the projection's <Infinite Sword Phantoms>. No matter where he went, more and more illusory swords kept coming. He always had to rely on his resistance-type traits just to tank the damage.

Now that he's the one using it, he was satisfied. It just means that he can now annoy his enemies to death too!

"Now that I've cleaned up the gathering spots near Makid City, should I target the regions of other cities?"

5 days have passed, and Lugh was finally able to clean up the Wild Beasts near Makid City. This event had brought him a total of 120M EXP!

Sadly, strong monsters are limited; the reason why there are many here is due to that ruins. Some escaped and settled down in many place. That's the gathering spots that Lugh had targeted.

"My panel.. I should check it."

[Lugh Austere Bayer]

Rank: S

Latent Potential: C-

Exp: 5,407,059

Strength: S

Agility: S

Stamina: S

Vessel: S

Wisdom: S

Traits:

[Dagger Mastery (LV6)]

[Dexterous Hands (LV5)]

[Sword Mastery (LV6)]

[Decisiveness (LV5)]

[Sixth Sense (LV2)]

[Poison Body (LV1)]

[Damage Offset (LV4)]

[Stone Skin (LV3)]

[Resilience (LV2)]

[Spear Mastery (LV2)]

[Evil Eyes (LV3)]

[Darkness Control (LV5)]

[Demon God Physique (LV3)]

[Corruption Resistance (LV1)]

Even though 120M looked many, he almost spent it all. He first upgraded his 5 dimensional stats to S Rank, costing him 50M EXP. That alone is the reason why Lugh felt that he's like an EXP black hole.

Then, he upgraded his traits such as [Decisiveness], [Evil Eye], [Demon God Physique], [Darkness Control], and [Dagger Mastery]. Just like his [Sword Mastery], his [Dagger Mastery] is now at LV6, reaching the benchmark for a Law-Level trait.

Level 5 is the Semi-Law stage; a trait would only be called Law-Level once it reaches Level 6.

Not only that, he also comprehended the entire Heavenly Dao Techniques except for the ones costing above 5M EXP.

"5 days is enough to clean up the gathering spots near Makid City.. Should I go to other Cities next?"

SSS- Rank is the highest ranked Wild Beast in Lugh's vicinity. Nevertheless, they would provide him more than a billion EXP if he reaps them all!

"I should go back first and--"

As he thought about that, the skies changed suddenly. The clear blue sky became black-red immediately. Even though Lugh had encountered a Demon and has a trait related to one, it felt different this time.

What he felt is maliciousness, eerieness, and evil. The evil that he felt is far stronger than the despicable demons.

"What the hell is going on?!"

With his [Decisiveness], Lugh didn't fall into panic. He saw his first objective right away.

"Aria.."

He hurried off back to the city.

***

"The Domain is activated. All those wills wouldn't be able to enter this place nor find out what's happening inside."

"Understood. We will carry out our part from now on."

An unusual feminine man spoke to a black robed man.

"Remember to not screw this up. This is our chance to wipe out the talented ones of the Dragon Race."

Since a Deity-Realm Ruins appeared in this planet, the Dragon Court had specifically selected the talents who had reached EX+ Rank that has the potential to break through Deity-Realm. This meant that most of them are the valued fresh talents of the Dragon Race.

"Take this."

"This is?"

"An artifact. One that could kill off the remnant spirit of this Deity-Realm Ruins."

After knowing it, the black robed man nodded before he left.

"The opening of a Deity-Realm Ruin in this place. Moreover, it's a high-ranked Deity who had fallen during that time? Heh. This World should've tried harder to hide its real intention towards us."

In an instant, the feminine man disappeared.

***

"Why.. Why the hell are they here?!"

Even though he remained calm due to [Decisiveness], he felt a strong chill on his spine. His legs also felt weak. It was understandable because..

"Krrr.."

A huge space crack, and the usual Zergs were seen here, attacking this city.

"Stone bugs.. It's definitely them! Even the Assassin Mantises are here, along with the SS+ and SSS+ Ranked Zergs!"

He hadn't expected this. He thought that the Zerg World and his World are unrelated. Who would've thought that the Zergs who had pushed the entire Zerg World to near extinction, would appear here?!

"No.. I.. Aria!"

Lugh used his [36-Heavenly Steps] to reach Aria's room in an instant. Different from [Space Breaking], one wouldn't use [Space Transfer] or anything related to space with this technique. Rather, the technique allows the user to travel through a special dimension.

"Lugh?!"

"Aria, there's no time to explain. You should.."

Due to him being in a rush, he hadn't noticed it right away. Aria is still wearing her sleep wear last night. Since he hadn't come inside her room this morning, she thought that there was no need to change her clothes. She's just studying the techniques that Lugh gave her after all.

"Sorry. I'll leave for now."

"No, there's no need. What is going on?"

Whilst facing his back towards Aria, Lugh began telling her of the current situation.

"The City's under attack, and there's no one at EX Rank responding?"

"Yes. they should've gone to that Ruins right now."

"But.. This place is near the Dragon's core territory, right?"

"We shouldn't be expecting help right now. We're all left to fend for ourselves."

As the Zerg World suffered from the attacks of the Zergs for countless times, Lugh accumulated countless knowledge when it comes to them. One of the things that they did in the early days of their invasion is like this.

They summon a barrier that crosses space, let their own World provide energy to it, and massacre or brainwash the inhabitants of the Planet/s. Due to the Zerg Race being a new race, the Zerg World wasn't able to set up countermeasures immediately. They did so when it was too late.

This is the reason why Lugh felt his mind exploding right now. He's the only one, no, one of the two that knows just how terrifying they are. Based on the records that Lugh had read, there's at least 30 to 40 Known Worlds that fell due to the Zerg Race.

'Red should know of them too. This should be the calamity that he faced in his past life.'

"Suit up. We will leave this place, right now."

"Un."

With a thought, the nanomachines wrapped her and transformed into an Armor.

"Let's go."

Before they left this room, lugh thought of the future of his World. It's looking nothing but bleak right now.

***

Red looked at the starry sky before he sighed.

"The Mist should be clearing up soon. They are coming."

He recalled the nemesis of the World in his past life. The ones that he fought against as a High Ranked Deity-Realm Combatant, yet he failed.

"The Zergs."

Resilient, Countless numbers, friends that turns into their enemies due to the Doppelgangers.. There are so many things that made them terrifying that Red could fill up an entire blackboard and not even list the end of it.

"The fall of the World that they're against with. That signals the fall of this World."

If Red had the ability, he wanted to go to that Other World right now. Not only would he try to save it, he would also bring back their important techniques to this World.

When a fragment of that fallen World flew over this World, Red found it. There' he saw a completely different power system compared to what he knew of. The fusion of many Power Systems.

Red's two-realm enhancing technique came from that place too. It was a technique of a renown Deity-Realm Combatant in the Fallen World.

"If I don't do anything this time.."

There would be nothing but hell. Red experienced it in his past life already, thus he doesn't want to see that again.

"That's why I'm trying my best this time."

Red then walked over to the 3 girls that are surrounding a campfire. They are waiting for the meat to be barbecued enough.

"What are you thinking~?"

"Nothing. It should be cooked by now, right?"

"Burnt."

"Hm?"

Red taught Scarlet how to cook, but it seems that she failed.

'She's still like that..'

"I knew this was going to happen, so I prepared more meat. You cook this time, Red."

"Alright."

Looking at this peaceful atmosphere, Red wished that it could last forever. Sadly, he knew that this wasn't going to happen.

"Things to protect.. There are too many. That's why, I won't give up until my last breath."

With a renewed resolve flashing in his eye, Red started barbecuing the second batch of meat.
