Chapter 170: 170: End of the Battle
In the Mirror Realm, Caleb's eyes were just fixated on the mirror-like sky that reflects everything on the ground in deep thought. If there are really nine paths in the past, then something big must have happened that caused their disappearance. For example, as of now, there are seven gods worshipped by the people in the City of Phenos. It's not far-fetched that other kingdoms must be also worshipping the seven gods.
As he thought of this, Caleb reaffirmed his thoughts. This world has a lot of undercurrents that he couldn't fathom with his current strength... Then there was also Shu's proposal. Join the Fool Kingdom? He didn't even know what kind of kingdom was that. Who is sane enough to call their kingdom by the name of the Fool? Perhaps their king or god is a Fool??? Now, he understood that it was only Shu's whim to invite him to join. Might be because of the combat prowess he displays at his age.
Now, the question is... What is the intention of the Fool's Kingdom to the City of Phenos? Do they want to conquer it?
"So, now that you have laid your proposal. Is there anything else? Or thing I should know?" Caleb looked at Shu in front of him with a complicated expression.
After all, who would have known that this guy had such a deep background? He thought that the bastard was just affiliated with some kind of organization in conflict with the city. It didn't occur to him that the latter was actually from the outside!
Fool Kingdom. Other Kingdoms. This made Caleb more excited! He knew that each of them had some kind of specialty, treasure, or knowledge... He would do his best to try to access them!
Shu smiled and then raised the crystal ball in his hand, which shone brightly everywhere. It literally envelopes every inch of space in the mirror realm. Caleb had to close his eyes due to this. However, his spiritual perception transmitted to him that the space around him began to crack. From small to big ones comparable to the size of ships. Like shattered glass, the cracks spread everywhere.
A few seconds later, he felt the rumbling around and the movements, the clash of fists, metals, and whatnot. He felt the breeze of air and the heat of the sunlight. When Caleb opened his eyes, he was back on the battlefield with Shu was nowhere to be found.
'That guy just really disappears and appears when he wants. That treasure of his is really damn convenient. If I can just...'
He saw Clifford and Rozho back to back at each other as they were cornered by four tier 9 Apokalips. Rozho looks utterly exhausted, and he's not even using his sword intent now. Andre, on the other hand, looks bruised and battered. If he was not on the battlefield, Caleb might have thought that he was a beggar with a lot of wounds on his body.
Then there was also Gojo and the other members of the team five. Around Gozo, there was literally a cluster of corpses of Apokalips. On the other hand, Kazuto and Kidd were coordinating their attacks with good techniques. Who would have known that the two fire and water at the start would become such a strong duo? Life is really full of surprises.
'It looks like we have already taken care of the tier 8 Apokalips...' Caleb thought as he saw Roger's hand penetrate the forehead of a fourteen-meter-high humanoid Apokalips with squid head. Black ink burst out from the forehead. Roger suddenly performed a backflip to dodge the black ink to prevent it from making a mess out of him.
What's inconceivable though was the Apokalip was still standing. The tips of the four tentacles on its head transfigured themselves into a sharp javelin. Following that, under Caleb's dumbfounded eyes, blood seeps out from Roger's body and takes the form of a scythe!
Blood abilities!? Obviously, the ability Roger was currently displaying was the ability of the tier 8 blood hunter!
Just like that, the tentacles couldn't match Roger's speed. He dodged left and right with graceful footsteps and wielded his scythe with uncanny precision. In just a few seconds after the blood scythe was formed, the four tentacles were already lying, severed, on the ground, twitching.
Such an effortless battle! The battle is about to end. The veteran scouts were also using their blood abilities. However, theirs weren't as powerful as Roger's. They only shaped blood daggers or simple swords. Sometimes, they also employ blood bullets. There was a masterful one that used blood threads, though. Caleb didn't know the other party's name, but he was worth knowing.
On the side of the Scouts, the was about to reach its end. From the team's left, which composed a total of twenty-five members. Ten died... Caleb could already feel that the teams were gonna get reformed and become three teams. Still, the ones that survive are the strong ones and the majority of them are the ones on his zero list.
Caleb heaves a bitter sigh. 'A lot fell again. That damned Shu is quite ruthless.'
Still, now he knew that Shu won't really prevent them from sealing the wall. It's not his goal. As the latter said, the only thing he needed to do was to kill a lot of scouts and relay information to his kingdom. Preventing them from sealing the wall was obviously above the latter's pay grade. Not to mention, would he be able to stop Roger, who was now aware of the existence of Glass Crystal?
Caleb mused. 'Should I tell Roger about the Mirror Realm?'
With that, Caleb decided to help. This time, he didn't conceal his Gum Gum Rubber any longer. It was for anyone to see. Why did he reveal it? Didn't he say that he wants to be low-key? What if they treat him as a lab rat due to this?
Well, Caleb understood that there's no use hiding Gum Gum Rubber. Because...
"Damn, Johan! Is that Legacy Ability!? He might be a lost descendant or member of a high-ranking clan!"
The crowd turned their heads at the purple substance in awe. Even Roger looks astonished.
