Mystical Journey

“If you wish to live, I can convert you into my descendant. How about it? You’ll be immortal and possess incredible physical characteristics such as speed, strength, and regeneration. Time will no longer be a threat to you…”

“Shut up!” Dahm shouted as he started to laugh while being surrounded by vampires.

“Idiot! You don’t even know how terrifying Teacher is. If you kill me, the Holy Fist Palace will definitely avenge me! Your friend, your household will be completely destroyed!”

Arudo’s face turned foul and his body turned into a black line as he went past all the vampires and appeared right in front of Dahm.

Thud!!

Arudo punched Dahm directly in his chest. The thud resembled someone hitting against rubber and Dahm was sent flying.

“Kill? Destroy? You’re going to die soon and your teacher, the guy from whatever Holy Palace didn’t even come to your rescue. How dare you threaten me when you’re on the verge of death?!” Arudo was furious. The surrounding vampires had been ordered by him to stop attacking. Arudo was the only one attacking now.

“The is the inner region of the Holy Labyrinth. The more powerful a non Blood Breed is, the more restrictions he will face. Are you still hoping that Garen to come and save you? This is the first time I’ve met someone that’s this dumb,” Arudo rushed towards him and gave Dahm a firm kick in the abdomen and he was sent flying once more.

Cough cough cough….

It took Dahm some time to push himself up. His face was covered in blood and dirt but he had an evil smile on his face. He didn’t seem like he had given up at all.

“As long as I’m alive. Eventually… Eventually…!!” he stared at Arudo very sharply.

About seventy percent of Dahm’s bones were broken and he would need to force himself to even twitch.

Ever since he practiced the Waterbird Fist, he had obtained respect and strength he’d never had before. People who had a taste of power, wealth, strength and excitement would never become someone’s servant and beg again!

Dahm’s eyes turned red as he teetered on the verge of losing his mind.

Boom!!

Hochman defended himself with his hands as he blocked a punch from the stone statue in front of him.

He groaned as the pavement underneath his leg sunk in, forming two deep holes.

The stone statue’s hand was three meters wide and had no effect on Hochman’s hand when it attacked him. It was as if it had attacked a very solid wall and was blocked.

Half of Weidi’s body had been torn apart and he was holding himself up against the wall, watching the humanoid stone statue summoned by the Holy Labyrinth attack Hochman.

“This is a very small portion of the holy weapon’s true strength. You can’t win against it.”

Inside the square, Hochman’s party had only four people left as the two dwarves had been turned into bloodied meat piles. The twins’ legs had given way and they had fainted as they fell to the ground. Lastly, the giant with scars all over his face was barely holding himself up as he was attacked by the stone statue.

There were at least ten stone statues in the area and all of them had appeared out of the blue from the dark areas of the manor. These white stone statues were dressed in heavy armor and were about seven to eight meters tall. They looked like the giants of the legends.

Hochman’s suit had been torn apart, revealing his upper body filled with muscles. His skin was as black as obsidian, with a metallic sheen.

He glanced at his surroundings and started smirking.

“Although I don’t know what you’re planning, it no longer matters.”

In an instant, he retreated as fast as lightning by at least ten meters and was approaching the manor’s main gate.

“Don’t you dare escape from me!!” Weidi was stunned and immediately shouted, “Block him!!”

As soon as he shouted, Hochman’s body stopped moving as if it defied physics. His body halted at the side of the door and he could no longer move backward and out of it.

Suddenly, a strange bloodied humanoid figure appeared between the entrance and his body.

The humanoid seemed to be made entirely of fresh blood. It had no face and hair but maintained the shape of a human.

The exit behind Hochman was completely blocked by it.

As this humanoid appeared, Weidi and the other Blood Breed gave sighs of relief.

“The Fresh Blood Statue!! It has finally appeared!!”

The bloody humanoid reached out its hand. Although it looked very slow, in reality, its speed was terrifyingly fast as it pressed onto Hochman’s back.

Boom!!

Hochman flew away as if he was hit by a train. The muscles underneath his singlet sunk in as he was sent flying like a cannonball to the ground by the square, forming a crater which was half a meter deep.

At this point in time, the whole square was filled with craters and it no longer resembled what it originally looked like.

Ugh!

Hochman could no longer hold it in and vomited a mouthful of blood.

“We should stop moving forward for now,” AG stood just in front of Garen as he stared at the manor which had become quiet, “The Blood Breeds have activated the Fresh Blood Holy Weapon, the Labyrinth, and the statues. Our witchcraft has been affected by it and we need time to adjust it.”

Garen started frowning.

AG looked at him.

“There’re only ten minutes left before our plan is completed and two of the Holy Weapons are currently in their prime time. When the witchcraft is activated, their potency will reduce drastically and they will be unable to deactivate them as well. As long as we are able to obtain the two major Holy Weapons from the Blood Breeds…” greed started to flash across his eyes, “They will definitely know that we have been aiming for the Holy Weapons from the beginning.”

“The Silver Light Demon Statue will soon appear and will enter its weak period after ten minutes. It’s all on you after that,” AG said in a serious manner.

Garen ignored him as he turned his head and looked at Angel who was behind him, “What’s the current situation inside?”

Angel and a few people were busy tuning a sophisticated black instrument. It looked like a mini satellite receiver and would beep as turned while it was being tuned.

Sweat was dripping profusely from her forehead and she didn’t even have the time to wipe them off as she kept staring at the huge amount of data through her spectacles.

“Dahm is in serious trouble! Lord Hochman is in a slightly better situation than him but he has been placed in a difficult position. Something really strong seems to have appeared inside!” she immediately replied.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the ground started to raise up in the center of the manor, between the buildings. It was as if the ground suddenly erupted halfway, forming a strange protrusion.

Kaboom!!

There was another explosion and the protrusion finally exploded.

Countless amounts of dirt rained down, plopping down all over the manor and surrounding districts.

“The Silver Light Demon Statue has finally appeared,” AG said with a nostalgic tone as he looked at the explosion in the center, “The Wellington Household’s strongest weapon, nicknamed the Realistic Apostle. It would require three peak-tier Upper-Level Blood Breeds to be able to barely summon this overwhelmingly powerful weapon of warfare.”

“How long more until I will be able to enter?” Garen asked.

“Eight minutes more,” AG responded immediately.

The manor started to clear up from the explosion as the dirt spread away, revealing the core object that had caused the explosion.

It was a silver humanoid statue which stood five meters tall.

The statue was completely silver in color and seemed to be made out of a silver liquid. It had a pair of angelic wings, but instead of having normal human hands, it had a pair of sharp claws just like the vampires.

As soon as the statue was formed, it immediately looked in AG’s direction and started to move its wings. Then a sharp chirp could be heard as the statue instantly disappeared.

Boom!!

When it reappeared, it was in front of AG and Garen, only about ten meters away from them!

However, it was this distance that restricted the Silver Statue’s attack. The ground was lit up by countless blood-red textures. At the same time, a strong force gathered and landed on the Silver Statue’s surface, oppressing it and causing its movement to slow down.

“How much longer?” Garen asked once more.

“Five minutes. Soon.” AG started to frown as well.

“Lord Dahm is in critical danger!” Angel shouted out of nowhere, “His heartbeat is dropping drastically! It’s no good! Same goes for Lord Hochman as well!! His spleen is broken and his head is severely injured!!”

Garen was suddenly in a bad mood and started to walk towards the Silver Statue.

“Garen what are you doing! We still have another five minute before the Silver Light Demon Statue is at its weakest! If we go for it now our plan would be destroyed and the Blood Breed may even retract their Holy Weapon!!” AG was stunned and immediately blocked his path.

“Move away!”

Garen’s body slowly expanded and his muscles on his body started to buzz as he kept expanding.

“It’s only two subordinates! If the plan is successful I will give you as many subordinates as you desire! I want you to calm down! Right this instance!” AG shouted.

Buzz…

Garen replied by inhaling deeply.

Just like a huge whale swallowing the sea, Garen’s chest sunk in deeply and he let out a deafening shout.

The fine buzzing sound spread all over his body once more, and it turned black from head to toe, giving off a metallic sheen.

His big yet solid muscles looked as though stones had been embedded in his body.

“My disciple can only die by my hands!”

Garen’s voice seemed to have changed as it now contained a thick and horrifying tone. It was similar to one shouting into a valley, that produced multiple echoes.

Boom!!

A solid raging aura spread powerfully with him at its epicenter. The wind blew so hard that Angel and the others couldn’t stand straight, and even AG had to take a few steps back from his tremendous aura.

“Calm down!!” AG shouted.

“Waterbird’s Profound.” Garen’s voice rang through the night and into the distance and echoed deep into the inner region of the Holy Labyrinth.

“Soar!!!”

As Garen roared, a sharp chirping sound could be heard.
