Chapter 761 The Way Of The Strongest
"Well, well, after all this time we were finally able to rest, but it decided to happen now... Agh, what a shame." Kadridas said while shaking his head as he took a sip of hot tea.
"This will get everyone's attention." Cetid uttered with a serious look with his arms crossed over his chest, "Looks like the Elders were right, though I doubted it would happen until last."
"You thought the world would stay like this forever?" Kadridas grinned as he placed the cup on the table.
"No... However, in that case, so does another theory of the Elders, doesn't it?" Cetid muttered in a thoughtful manner as he looked away. His gaze was calm, but then it passed through hundreds of zones, heading somewhere very far away.
"Well... It's not certain yet. Although, if we've waited until now, we'll find out soon enough..." Kadridas spoke with a sly smile on his face.
...
"Sven... Where are we going?" Osvald asked with a confused look as he pointed to his left, "The nearest unstable area is over there."
"I know." Sven nodded slightly while slowly stepping forward, "However, I want to head to the place they definitely guard the most."
"You think it's still there? I doubt it." Osvald said as he waved his hand in a careless manner.
"Huh, even if I'm wrong, we have to check it out." Sven grinned, stopped, and reached forward.
At the same time, the road shone brightly as it headed forward with tremendous speed. In the open space, it was hard to see how fast the creature was, but then their speed was comparable to a Light Racer.
After a few seconds, they reached a point where the space shook particularly hard. There were already several dozen Arkans here, that were trying to restore stability to the space, but they were struggling to do so.
Each Arkan had a number "5" on his chest, while in front of them stood three persons with numbers "6" who as though were their defenders against sudden visitors.
"Who are you?" The man asked while electric shocks ran through his body.
"Hmm? They didn't recognize us?" Marlis muttered with a confused look as she touched her lips.
After her word, the eyes of the three Arkans stared at them, then a shiver ran through their bodies.
"It can't be... Why are they here...?" The woman on her left muttered while in disbelief.
"It's Marlis, Osvald and Sven Hellem..." The man on the right uttered in a trembling voice.
"Damn... I wasn't prepared to meet you, but the teacher warned me it might happen." The man in the center said with a calm look as electric shocks headed toward his palm.
In his hand appeared a massive lightning sword that contained incredible power. Each energy surge caused a loud sound similar to the roar of thunder, spreading for hundreds of meters around.
"You don't seem to be afraid of us. How interesting." Sven said with a devious smile on his face as he stepped forward.
"Sven Hellem, are you aware of your current status?" The man asked with a deadly serious look.
"Hmm? Status? What do you mean? I haven't had any dealings with you for a long time, and neither has my team." Sven uttered in confusion as he tilted his head.
"After you murdered you girl to protect a mere human, your identity became of renewed interest, so your sins became public knowledge." The man said in a serious voice as he headed forward.
"So what? I do what I want to do." Sven shrugged in a careless manner.
"Well, that's because the Arkans thought you were a hero, but that's all changed now. All Arkans, especially the younger generation think you're a traitor and one of our main goals is to eliminate you!" The man exclaimed with a furious look.
"Hmm? Do you really think you can handle me? You're nothing but a pathetic worm not even worth a glance from me." Sven said in a calm voice as his voice dropped pressure on all the Arkans in the area making it hard for them to breathe.
"How arrogant..." The man muttered with his eyes wide open, "You still think you're invincible? You sat in your zone for hundreds of years while the rest of the world evolved and grew stronger, so I have to rid our world of a traitor like you."
Whooooooooooosh.
The man rushed forward as a plume of hundreds of blue electrical discharges followed him. In an instant he was in front of Sven, unleashing a thunderous sword with all his might. It all happened too fast to react to as the sword hit its target precisely.
"Not bad, but surely that was an attack?" Sven asked with a calm look as he glanced at the sword.
The sword should have pierced his shoulder, but despite all its power, the sword couldn't even damage Sven's clothes. It just hovered in the air a millimeter from Sven as if something was preventing the sword from going further.
"What...? What's going on...? The other day I seriously wounded Dragon with this attack, but.... Why can't I get you?!" The man exclaimed with a furious expression as his veins swelled. He tried to break through the barrier, but it seemed impossible.
"Ahahahahaha, thought since you could wound an ordinary Dragon, you could fight against me? The younger generation doesn't understand the power at all. Let me show you." Sven said as a devious smile formed on his face before grabbing the man's hand.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
A shiver went through the man's body as his heart clenched hard and his eyes went wide.
"What is it...?" The man uttered while in disbelief as cracks appeared on his skin.
"It's nothing special. I just let you feel what it means to possess truly powerful energy, not the semblance of power that you have." Sven said in a calm voice as he loosened his grip.
At the same time, the man's body exploded as parts exploded apart along with the thick, dark blood. By a strange coincidence, not a single drop hit Sven, they just flew past him as if someone was controlling them.
