BXBX NOVEL Chapter 601 - 601
Luna's attention was drawn around 50 minutes later when the doors leading to the upper area opened, and three people came down. On the left and right were obviously two sleek feminine bodies while the center was a well-built male body.
The crowd who were having fun immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at those who just came in with awe and trepidation. It seemed like they were notable bigshots.
Luna's eyes narrowed as she inspected them and saw that the three of them were Grandmasters while 40% of those on the floor were Masters and the real Adepts. Seeing as there were about 500 people here, not including slaves, this was not a weak force.
This was also not even the total force that Litho had. After all, they were a kingdom near the southern belt, so their grade was far higher than weaklings like Derna and co.
The man in the center raised his hands. "Greetings, fellow Nobles of the Dark! It is I, Darius Blood, your proud leader!"
The crowd cheered, while Luna almost fell from where she was perched. Hearing that name in such a place threw her off completely, but she maintained her poise.
Luna listened to the one called Darius Blood recite their actions, their grand history, and their purpose. Eventually, the fellow landed on what was an interesting topic for Luna.
"I hear that a contingent of powerful troops travel over from the north, taking over every kingdom and empire in its way. So far, they have had perfect success and no failures."
The crowd was deathly silent listening to this, having learned of it through their own channels some were calm, some displayed worry and some displayed killing intent.
Darius Blood took a glass of wine that was brought over by a maid and swirled it calmly. "I say we meet them head-on and crush their little brigade. Not only can we claim their heads and establish our glory, but we can also claim their prize for ourselves!"
Darius then tossed away his wine glass as his voice hitched, leaning on the handrails before him, panting towards the crowd.
"Can you imagine it? The entire northern section of Fallon, our for the taking! We can do anything we want, accumulate territory, increase our power, enslave new races… what we're doing now would seem like child's play in comparison!"
Darius' words stoked the fire in the hearts of these monsters. They were not thinking about how they would fight and die for this, to sate their greed, but who they would send out to die with honeyed words in order to reap the most benefit for themselves.
Luna remained where she was tranquilly, thinking rapidly. There was no doubt that she would take the lives of everyone in this room, but the question was how to achieve that.
She was given a set of skills by Darius, sure, but those kills were for infiltration, making a single undetected kill, and leaving. Just like what she did to the Prime Minister.
She hesitated. Rather than try and fight them all and make a messy scene, she really would rather clear them all out at once. Luna firmed her expression and reported everything to Darius.
Darius on the other side simply smiled and said one thing. "Leave it to Gunner."
Luna didn't understand what that meant, but she was soon contacted by Gunner who spoke to her in a gentle voice. "Luna, please enter your void and leave the area."
Luna obeyed immediately, knowing that Gunner would never hurt her. In fact, the fellow was extremely kind to herself and Xela, which made her have a strange feeling in her heart.
When she had explained this to Xela, the High Elf giggled and explained. "I feel the same way. It's because Gunner feels like an older brother to us, so we feel safe and comforted in his presence."
Luna was not exactly cognizant of what it meant to have family, so she couldn't grasp the full meaning, but she certainly could feel the emotions that came with it.
Whatever the case, she quickly abandoned the underground passageway and came back into the city. She easily bypassed the patrolling guards as the time of night was almost 3 am, so no proper person was out and about.
Luna hesitated and decided to adhere fully, leaving the city in a blur. That was when she saw a green light emerged from the horizon, its glow splendid and moving.
......…
Gunner jumped out of his tank while his drivers stopped. He and his army could move nonstop because of their power and the supplies they brought. There was no need to stop, which was why most of their enemies couldn't even muster a good response in time.
Gunner stood before the army, looking into the starry sky with a serious expression. Miranda appeared on his wrist and giggled.
"Uncle Gunner, there's no need to try and calculate. I have already done all that for you, so you only need to follow."
Gunner smiled and nodded, closing his eyes as he let Miranda's calculations pass through his mind. He then spread his legs out wide, a green light exploding outward from his body as he manifested his full Earth's Guardian.
His Damage, Defense, Power, and Constitution had increased by 1250%! From lesser demigod level, he went to either Fake Lord level or just outside the True Lord level.
There was no way to tell since they didn't yet have the stats of a Fake Lord or a True Lord to use as a comparison. Gunner then channeled his Omega Blow skill at its fullest power.
[Omega Blow - Level 60 Skill
Grade: Advanced
Cost: 2000 MP
Description: Concentrate Earth Element Energy into a ball, throwing it out in a compressed form to explode on impact. This deals 6,192% earth damage to a single target.]
2000 Mp was nothing to the current Gunner, and his damage output with this skill was horrifying when you considered his base stats. A giant green orb formed in his hands that glowed like a fusion bomb about to go off.
Gunner then angled his body carefully then threw the green orb with a specific amount of strength, at a specific direction, at a specific angle, with a specific posture.
The orb flew through the air like a missile, its speed tearing through the sound barrier as it passed mach 5 in seconds. Due to the commotion it made, those not within its view could see a green light on the horizon, while those it passed by were ripped from where they stood by the shockwave, sent flying like ragdolls.
Some forests were stripped bare of their leaves in seconds while smaller animals were only left with their musculature as their skins were ripped off, leaving horrifying remains behind.
This carnage continued as the orb did not lose speed even a little, crossing through various domains and biomes as it either devastated or re-arranged them casually.
Eventually, Luna saw the green on the horizon that was beautiful, like a unique sun rising with its emerald hue to wake up the world and tell it that nature was still here.
Luna was snapped out of her trance by Miranda, who warned her to move further. With her speed, Luna was able to create a severe distance between herself and the capital city in a few seconds.
When she turned around, she felt the wind of the green orb pass by her, easily ripping apart her clothes and leaving her sensual body out in the open, but not harming her skin in the least while everything around her was ruined.
The orb then began to dip suddenly, leaning down towards the city in the distance.
Eventually, it collided.
The world was silent for a few seconds, before Luna saw the brightest explosion of green light she had ever seen in her life. It almost blinded her, but she was able to keep her eyes open to see it.
Next came the shockwave. This one was nothing like what came before, as it directly blew her into the distance despite her high stats above a thousand. She wasn't hurt, just unable to remain unscathed like some power ranger after a dramatic explosion.
She flew along with rocks and earth for a few miles before she regained her bearings and leaped among many of them, landing perfectly and without issue.
It was then Luna noticed that she was more than ten times away from the city, yet she could see a huge green mushroom cloud from here. Not only did it linger, but it also illuminated the entire sky.
Even those from Safemoon could see the green light in the distance, and the entire Fallon was suddenly awoken by the shaking of the entire content as it suffered the aftermath of the explosion.
Luna watched silently, realizing that this kind of power was beyond anything she understood. She realized that her heart was beating massively, not out of fear, but excitement.
Could she one day wield power like Gunner?
