Mystical Journey

A large amount of triangle-headed monsters with double sabers lunged at everyone. The sabers in their hands could instantly block the high-speed bullets that were shot at them. Guns were fired and bombs were thrown out as both parties engaged with each other in the huge cave.

From time to time, some monsters and outsiders would be chopped and killed.

King Thunderclap and Red Nation’s Prince rushed towards Zhi Jinqin straight from the left. All the monsters in between were like pieces of paper. They were no match for the two at all and could not last for even one round of fight.

The crowded monsters were like a light gray torrent, madly rushing at everyone. The two lighted up a grand-blue light each and darted at Zhi Jinqin as if going upstream. In the process of sprinting, the two exchanged glances as they leaped into the air.

“Thunderbolt Eye!” The rod which was previously brought out was now in King Thunderclap’s hand. It automatically extended to a sleeve-length spear and a dark blue electrical eye emerged from the spearhead.

“Go!”

He hurled it forward.

Whish!!

The spear drew out a horrific dark blue trail, arousing the surrounding air and creating a vast spider web-like white mist silk thread. It flashed past and hit the position where Zhi Jinqin was at.

Boom!!!

Countless smoke flares exploded with the booming sound, and some of the monsters near Zhi Jinqin were swept off the ground and blown up into pieces.

King Thunderclap panted heavily as he descended. Before he could be at ease, vast red lights suddenly lit up before his eyes.

Whish whish whish!

Several red steel needles shot out from the white mist, which was produced by the explosion of the thunderbolt, and headed straight towards his face.

Ding ding ding!

In the continuous sound of impact, King Thunderclap’s facial armor had several white dots right away.

He was also hit by the huge impact force and was forced to retreat. He abruptly halted his steps and moved his body slightly sideways, avoiding a red arrow that broke out from behind him.

Red Nation’s Prince slowly put away his longbow. He was wearing a red electronic eye mask for aiming which he had put it on who-knows-when. The mask was a half-faced mask, but it looked exquisite and gorgeous, giving people a strange temperament.

The arrow he shot out suddenly exploded in mid-air, transforming into countless red spots and darted towards Zhi Jinqin from all sides in a densely packed formation.

A large number of monsters flew up and desperately blocked these numerous red dots. But even so, there was still one-third of the light spots plummeting down on the big bed where Zhi Jinqin was at.

Pooh, pooh… In the light sound, all the red dots were blocked by a transparent barrier.

Zhi Jinqin lifted her small face and her glassy eyes looked straight at Red Nation’s Prince.

“Huh…” There was a subtle noise from her mouth, which seemed to be a special kind of electric sound and was not human-like at all.

King Thunderclap sneered.

“If you don’t hand over the virus data, you and this place will be wrecked.”

He strode forward and landed a single fist fiercely on the waist of a monster that was blocking the path in front. He stormed forward like a tank and headed straight towards Zhi Jinqin.

Whish!

A red arrow aimed at his hindbrain was shot out from behind.

Boom! King Thunderclap was caught off guard and was hit. The armor at the back of his brain immediately melted and a small piece of it was broken off. His head jerked forward a little.

“Who!?” He turned his head around furiously and saw Red Nation’s Prince with his electronic eye that was flashing a red light getting increasingly closer.

“Are you crazy?!!!”

King Thunderclap and Prince slammed together with a boom, and the dagger and metal arms between the two interlocked, bursting out ear-piercing sounds and innumerable fine golden sparks.

Prince revealed one dull eye, and the attack from his hand was exceptionally fast. There were sharp blades on both sides of the tip of the longbow and invisible circles were drawn out as he madly swung the longbow, slashing at King Thunderclap.

“He’s being controlled!” Someone exclaimed from the rear.

However, King Thunderclap’s position was too deep inside the cave, and no one but he and Prince could go this far.

King Thunderclap was about reply when all of a sudden, he spotted a strange curl on the Prince’s lips. He instantly felt a chill.

“Illusionist’s control can stimulate one’s strongest potential. You deliberately let yourself be controlled to trigger all of your strength!!”

He suddenly understood.

Illusionist’s control was like the highest level of hypnosis, which could maximize the full potential of the human body and make a mediocre person become a genius in a very short time, even though the cost was the exhaustion of one’s life and vitality.

“You are all having an infighting so soon? Tsk tsk…” The voice sounded again.

“Infighting?” Vulture No. 1’s voice spread out. “This is not infighting.” He was carrying a huge and complex shoulder cannon that was more than one meter thick and over four meters long.

The position of the muzzle was aimed directly to where King Thunderclap was at.

“What are you all doing!!?” King Thunderclap slightly panicked. Even if Prince and Vulture No. 1 were the scums he did not care about, it was impossible to not have any qualms even for someone as strong as him when being hemmed in by the two from behind in this kind of environment.

Boom!

What replied him was the action of Vulture No. 1 firing a shot.

“We must kill him as quickly as possible! Otherwise, we will suffer even greater losses!” Vulture No. 1 calmly said.

One side of King Thunderclap’s body was hit by the shot in a flash, and the whole person was shrouded in a golden fireball that was of a person’s height.

Ah!!!!

He screamed desperately in pain and the tearing of his body continuously twisted his will, causing his eyes to suddenly become clear for a moment in the bundled flames.

At that moment, he noticed that the scene in front of him had changed abruptly.

He was not cooperating with Red Nation’s Prince to kill Zhi Jinqin at all, instead, he was rushing into the crowd by himself and massacring the troops who had come to besiege Illusionist!

“What exactly is going on!?”

His mind was chaotic.

The image before his eyes changed one moment and blurred another moment.

**********************

“Black Federation sending King Thunderclap here is just to have him die.”

Vulture No. 1 lowered the shoulder cannon and shook his head slightly.

“King Thunderclap belongs to the type of monster that only focuses on the robustness of the physical body and so it is normal for him to be constrained by Illusionist.” The black-robed person behind Red Nation’s Prince was now standing together with the Vulture.

“He was controlled from the beginning and thought that he was killing the monsters, but in actual fact, he was killing our own people. Since the people of Black Federation hopes that he dies, then what reason do we have to keep him alive?” No. 1 calmly said.

“Most of what he saw and heard should be true. Illusionist actually only did one thing, which was switching the identity of the monsters and the people who were besieging.” The black-robed person shook his head.

No. 1 nodded, and soon after, someone quietly came forward from the cave entrance behind and whispered something to him.

“Almost here?” No. 1 frowned slightly. “Then we better pick up speed. We don’t have much time.”

“What’s almost here?” Asked the black-robed person.

“Our biggest reliance this time.” A hint of confidence rose in Vulture No. 1. “Even if Garen is here, he will still not be as strong as him.”

“Oh?” The black-robed person made a doubtful sound.

“Alright. Prince, this way, please. We have found the real virus database.” No. 1 took a final look at the people who were still fighting the monsters, turned around, and walked toward the exit behind.

The black-robed person was the real Red Nation’s Prince. He faced the other Prince who was still fighting with King Thunderclap in the crowd of monsters and lightly pressed some kind of remote control device in his sleeve.

That ‘Prince’ instantly leaped into the air and flew directly toward him.

“Retreat!! Retreat!!” The people from the Vulture began to convey the order. As for the rest of the forces, mercenaries, and those who had come to snap up some gain, they were discreetly placed to fight at the front line where it was closest to the monsters, while their own people silently withdrew toward the periphery.

“Looks like someone wants to leave early…” The strange voice sounded again.

Vulture No. 1 and Red Nation’s Prince instantly quickened their pace and swiftly entered the exit.

However, they suddenly found their field of vision changed in an instant. Their direction of running towards the outside had now changed to rushing toward Zhi Jinqin at the center.

“This!!?” The green gem in Vulture No. 1’s hands was covered with cracks. There was no green light at all.

Just then, King Thunderclaps’ fist fiercely slammed into his face and his eyes widened.

Which one was the illusion and which was the real one!!?

************************

“If the real Zhi Jinqin can’t be found, then there’s no need to talk about killing her,” Parakeet spoke softly as she led Yuria forward in the thick mist.

“She is your biological sister. But now, she has almost integrated with your father into one body. They are influencing each other and suppressing each other. Perhaps only you can help her. ”

Yuria followed her and looked at the empty white buildings they passed by on both sides. He seemed to be walking on a spacious street.

“What is your actual purpose?” He returned his gaze to Parakeet.

“That depends on what purpose you actually have.” Parakeet did not turn her head around but replied in a low voice. “Do you want to save your sister, or do you want to save the whole world?”

“What does this have to do with the whole world?” Yuria frowned.

“What does this have to do?” The Parakeet sneered and turned back. “Because your sister wants to wipe out the whole world right now! Tell me, is it not related?”

Yuria was silent.

“Qin is not that kind of person. It must be Father’s will polluting her! We just need to kill and erase Father’s part, then we will definitely save her!”

“Huh…” Parakeet could not help but snicker. “You don’t even know how many people she has killed… Or do you still think that she is still the Zhi Jinqin who held the doll and asked for your help back then? Ridiculous!”

The two kept moving forward and neither of them spoke again.

Yuria’s heart was preoccupied. He did not know how to face this sister of his from decades ago.

Parakeet was just silent and thinking of who-knows-what.

Krakk.

Suddenly, Yuria’s step forward produced a clear crack on the ground in front. The hard surface of the rock actually cracked under his effortless step.

Yuria was slightly stunned and did not expect to encounter such a circumstance.

Parakeet turned back abruptly and looked at him with a weird gaze.

“Your strength has increased again…”

Yuria was shocked. He quickly waved his hand against the space on the right side and his palm made a knife-hand strike.

Whish!

A clear and transparent distorted wave shot out and hit something in the mist with a bong creating a chain reaction of countless sounds of metal colliding.

“This!”

Yuria was stupefied. His original physical strength was far less powerful than this.

“How much has it increased?” Parakeet asked quietly.

“… At least six times,” Yuria was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice.

“The advancement of your strength and Zhi Jinqin’s are enjoyed together, which means that someone very powerful has died.” Parakeet suddenly smiled. “And it’s more than one. Their power has been apportioned to both of you.”

Yuria gritted his teeth. He had confirmed the source of the increment of his strength from Parakeet and others, and so there was no longer any hesitation in him.

“Must find Qin as soon as possible!”

He said decisively.

“After finding her?” Parakeet asked in reply.

Yuria trembled and did not answer right away.
