Chapter 63: Killing The Worm Demon... Falling For The Trap!
It’s thoughts became unsettled, the feeling of being strong c couldn’t help but take over it, nevertheless it soon shook it’s head, it wasn’t sure if the pill was tampered with, it still wanted to be cautious.
However in the other direction noticing ko had fled kranos decided not to waste any more time, besides at this moment he could faintly feel the royal academy token vibrate slightly, in just an hour’s time he would be teleported out of this world.
Returning his gaze back from ko, kranos immediately noticed a faint trickle of water on his hand which gripped eternal hunger... Rain? Looking at the clouds which had started raining kranos smiled faintly, eternal night, time to eat breakthrough to the next rank...
As soon as kranos finished speaking his figure dashed forward once again, immediately the movements of the beast slowed down visibly. He immediately attacked the demon with a horizontal chop, following that was a vertical slash.
As the battle progressed the worm demon grew increasingly panicked, should I use that move? A slight thought emerged in the worm demon’s mind, it had a technique to call it’s seniors, one which it’s master had taught them all.
At times if the master was close by he could even help them as soon as they used the technique. No there’s still that the worm demon shook it’s head, then it’s gaze turned to the ’nine serenities’ pill.
According to elder brother, the nine serenities pill should take effect immediately swallowing it, if this pill doesn’t I will immediately take it out! The worm demon came to a decision, it could feel it’s lifespan draining and it knew it couldn’t hold on for much longer.
Another reason it opted for the pill rather than considering the help of his elder disciples was that they might be too far away, some of them usually explore the chaotic void, while some explore danger zones in the divine world, it didn’t know how long it would take before they save it.
Before then kranos might have already taken it’s life. Not hesitating any longer, the worm demon rushed forward, grabbed the pill and swallow it, not giving kranos a chance to react.
At first he thought the demon wanted to run away and was about to give a chase but seeing the demon take the ’nine serenities’ pill he couldn’t hold the urge to burst out laughing, it worked in the end. Kranos smiled inwardly.
On the other side, as soon as the demon swallowed the nine serenities pill it immediately felt invigorated, it could faintly feel it’s strength returning, it was immediately overjoyed.
It was actually the nine serenities pill? How could I be this lucky? The beast didn’t think too much and immediately began absorbing the medicinal effects of the pill.
However the next moment, its expression changed drastically, how can this be? As soon as the demon started absorbing the medicinal effects of the poison pull it immediately realised that it’s whole body was being corroded.
It instantly realised that something was wrong with the pill, however it was too late! The demon could feel everything about it being corroded, if it wasn’t for the fact that it could regenerate, it would have died multiple times.
At this it noticed the pair of silver eyes underneath the masked man staring at it curiously, it was in despair, it immediately knew there was no way it could survive, how could it not realised that ko had plotted against it?
"KO! I CURSE YOUR EIGHTEEN GENERATIONS!" the worm demon shouted fiercely as it tried to run away, however, how could kranos give it a chance?
Seeing that everything was going in the wrong direction, the worm demon no longer hesitated and employed the secret technique the master had taught them...
"Seniors save me, I’m about to die!!!" it’s voice seemed to contain a peculiar power, it immediately transcended the heavens and earth, spreading in all directions, everyone on the planet could hear this loud plea for help, at the same time in the void the voice echoed, still transcending space and time, heading to somewhere unknown.
Seeing this kranos expression immediately changed drastically, he felt something was wrong and without hesitation he immediately attacked the demon in rapid succession with eternal hunger hoping to drain it’s lifespan, however the worm demon’s vitality was extremely strong.
It wasn’t until more than ten minutes passed was kranos able to killed the demon. However just as kranos relaxed slightly, he immediately felt a strong sense of fatal danger.
He struggled to look up, in the purple sky, as rain was slowly falling, it immediately came to a stop. Within the sky kranos could see the whole planet gradually racking and breaking apart.
Kranos didn’t have the time to thing and immediately crushed the jade token. Although one could teleport before the one hour was up kranos chose not to do so before because he wanted to kill the worm demon but now he didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
However just as kranos crushed the jade token he was frozen in shock because of what he saw next, what was actually cracking the sky apart was actually... A gigantic hand?
The Gigantic hand seemed too heavy for the planet to bear causing it to be imploded. Kranos immediately noticed that time had seemingly frozen, no, time hadn’t frozen... the hand was just moving too fast, even faintly transcending space and time.
Kranos immediately paused time, using that moment to teleport away, but just as it paused time, the gigantic hand paused slightly then continued heading for kranos unabated... it only paused for merely a few seconds...
Fortunately... It’s enough! Without caring about the fate of the planet kranos vanished into the spatial portal and was teleported back to the immortal world.
...
At the same time, in a chaotic space filled with 12 altars, one of the alters suddenly dimmed... A ancient figure who seed to be neither human nor demon, opened his eyes and glanced at it.
He then muttered slowly, "such a good pawn is already dead?" his expression remained unchanged, after which he transmitted his voice to one of the altars. He was the worm demon’s master!
