Prime Originator

Chapter 447 - End Of The Road



"Young friend, stop pursuing my young master! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the lives of these soldiers!" Elder Gustavo threatened desperately, sending out a few warning water shots that missed the soldiers. 

Leon was forced to stop his pursuit and focus on Elder Gustavo.

"Quite the nerve you have to threaten me! Nevertheless, your loyalty is commendable. However, is it worth it? Your young master did not have a single concern for your life!" Leon said gloomily.

"Be that as it may, he is still the young master of the Cortez family, whom I am greatly indebted." Elder Gustavo smiled sadly as he struggled to get up.

Leon glanced at the person's broken arm that hung loosely on the side. 

Evidently, the high-quality medicinal pills were not something the two foreign Transcendents had in abundance and could abuse. Otherwise, Elder Gustavo would have already mended his broken arm and healed his internal injuries.

At the same time, a figure quickly shot over and landed not far from them. After a moment, the person said with surprise, "So the lion-looking person was you. We meet again, young prince." 

"Marquis Haldir? What are you doing here at the Great Wall?" Leon asked. However, he quickly frowned at the surrounding scene and added, "What happened here?"

"A lot has happened, actually."

"It's the post-Cataclysm." Elder Gustavo said with a slightly guarded expression, not expecting another Transcendent to appear, and someone familiar with the Crawford Kingdom's prince, nonetheless. 

Whatever faint hopes Elder Gustavo still had of escaping was extinguished.

Leon glanced at Elder Gustavo and questioned, "You seem to know something. What do you mean by the post-Cataclysm? And for what reasons have you come here?

"I do know some things, but why should I tell you? Isn't it a bit late to be asking these things?" Elder Gustavo shook his head bitterly before asking, "Would you let me go if I do?"

"No."

Leon rejected without room for negotiation.

"Someone from the Geyser Kingdom is likely to have quite some useful information. Even if you don't talk, I have ways to make you talk after I capture you." Leon said.

Elder Gustavo smiled bitterly, expecting as much.

This was the result of the young master's impulsiveness. There was no way the prince would let go of the people who hurt his father, the king of Crawford.

Elder Gustavo summoned all the remaining blackwater from his gourd that revolved around him, forming a blackwater tornado. 

Leon quickly entered a battle stance. 

Supreme Elder Haldir also prepared to assist Leon. He did not know why the young prince was going after these people. But since the young prince wanted to capture this person, he had to help.

However, Elder Gustavo did not attack them. 

The blackwater tornado shrunk and shredded Elder Gustavo's body apart, causing him to scream in immense pain.

"Arghhh!"

Shortly after, the person's body was torn to pieces.

Elder Gustavo had refused to be captured and humiliated. Thus, he ended his own life.

"Sh*t."

Leon frowned at the scattered mess.

"I didn't expect he would choose this option. I figured this person would still have some trump cards to help him escape at least, or perhaps I was simply overthinking." Leon said with a shake of his head. 

Shortly after Leon recovered from his disappointment, he searched through the scattered mess. He retrieved a few items found on the person's original body, including the Interspatial Ring and gourd.

Supreme Elder Haldir shook his head expressionlessly. 

He was not familiar with the person to feel any sympathy for the person's choice of taking his own life. 

He made his way over to Leon and said, "It's good that you are here, young prince. We could use an additional helping hand. The situation is rather dire." 

"What happened? Fill me in on the details." Leon stated.

Supreme Elder Haldir nodded.

"So, it's like this… the beasts—"

ROAR!

Supreme Elder Haldir was suddenly interrupted by an earthshaking beast roar. 

Leon and Supreme Elder Haldir immediately exchanged glances before they nodded and rushed towards the top of the Great Wall.

A few dozen miles from the Western Frontier, a streak of lightning could be seen rushing westward at high speed. 

However, the streak of lightning suddenly came to an abrupt stop, revealing Aria's figure. A white bone spear could be seen hurling over from the skies.

Boom!

The bone spear planted itself into the ground forcefully, almost burrowing itself entirely into the earth.

Aria retrieved the bone spear with furrowed brows before glancing back into the skies from whence the strange weapon came.

Her eyes shortly narrowed on a figure flying at low altitude with a deathly pale face while blood dripped from his pierced chest.

The person was Young Master Judas.

Connecting the dots, Aria immediately guessed who the bone spear belonged to—it belonged to Leon. 

She quickly stored it in her Interspatial Ring before glaring at the person in the skies with a frown. She had yet to learn how to fly.

Young Master Judas flew at roughly 1000fts, but his altitude gradually decreased over time as lifeforce slowly slipped away from his body. 

He searched his Interspatial Ring for effective medicine to treat his wound, unaware of Aria watching him from below.

Aria closed her eyes and browsed the sea of knowledge embedded in her mind—the knowledge that came from the other Aria.

After a moment, her eyes snapped open brightly. 

A solid blue sword was condensed out of ice-lightning powers before Aria stepped on the blue sword and manipulated it to take her into the sky, heading straight for the fleeing person like a flash of lightning.

"Hm?"

Young Master Judas quickly noticed the danger, but it was still too late! 

The blue sword shifted from the soles of Aria's feet to her hands before she slashed straight at the person!

"Ahhh!"

Young Master Judas exclaimed painfully, narrowly dodging Aria's sword slash but lost his arm in the process. 

He retreated some distance after shooting a Water Blast at Aria; however, the attack was frozen after contacting Aria's ice-lightning sword and dropped from the sky like dead weight.

"Wait, you can't kill me! I am the son of Baron Beau Cortez! My father will not spare you and the Crawford Kingdom! We have many Transcendent-level experts!" Young Master Judas cried.

Aria immediately paused with a frown.

Seeing Aria stopped attacking, Young Master Judas got excited and said, "Yes, that is right! The Crawford Kingdom does not have the right resources to nurture you, but the Geyser Kingdom definitely does! Why don't you help me return to the Geyser Kingdom and become my concubine instead? I will request my father to write a recommendation letter to admit you into the Grand Ocean Academy—!"

Swoosh!

Before Young Master Judas could react, Aria blinked behind him and stabbed her sword straight through his heart. The power of ice-lightning immediately frosted his dying heart and destroyed his inner body.

Young Master Judas glanced at the sword sticking out of his chest and felt despair and coldness in his heart.

"Why…? With your talents, you should not limit yourself to the Crawford Kingdom. The Geyser Kingdom is far more powerful than you can imagine…"

"Those bearing ill-will against my loved one, no matter who or where you come from, shall bear the wrath of my sword!" Aria said coldly. At the same time, she felt disgusted by the person.

After a moment, Aria frowned and tore the mask off the person's face, revealing the true appearance under.

Her face was immediately colored with surprise.

"It's you?"

Although the face seemed to have suffered burns that disfigured the person, she was still able to recognize the person after matching the name and face.

However, Young Master Judas could no longer respond.. He drew his last breath and plunged towards the ground.
