Chapter NaN: [Yin Yang Bracelet]
Flames were everywhere and explosions would erupt every second. Sounds of screams and crying were all over the place as blood covered the entire land.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
A child holding a stuffed toy in her hand was crying in the middle of the burning city.
The buildings were falling and the whole area was filled with smoke and dust.
The child had nowhere to go. Her parents had just died and she would die soon. She was just a five-year-old kid so she didn’t have enough power to survive in this calamity. A powerless person like her wouldn’t last long in the world of war.
Crack!
A huge building fell over and crashed onto her fragile body. In an instant, she died and she didn’t even realize it.
Boom!
This incident wasn’t only happening in this city. It was occurring in the other cities across the whole continent too. The people that were protecting and managing the city were helpless against the calamity that hit them.
The demons.
The demon from folklore had appeared before everyone’s eyes. It caught all the forces off guard and in just a single day more than fifty percent of the central continent’s population was wiped out, including the monsters.
The Union Peace and Night Watch were in the middle of a war against Monster Dungeon when these demons appeared out of nowhere. The three gigantic organizations were turned into ruins and most of their forces had perished leaving only a few higher-ups that escaped from the battle.
The Extinction Realm masters of the Union Peace and Night Watch successfully escaped but the fourth evolution monsters of the Monster Dungeon fought to death with their Lord, a fifth evolution monster.
It was a battle that last twenty-four hours and chipped away the forces of the demons. The people that died were uncountable as some of the corpses had turned into dust. Even the geographical structure of the continent had changed because of the power of the fifth evolution monster.
In the end, the Monster Dungeon was defeated. The sole fifth evolution stage monster of this world had perished.
“Tsk, I didn’t think that there would be a fifth evolution stage monster on this planet. Because of this, the mission got delayed.” The leader of the 3rd division said in an annoyed tone.
The Heavenly Demon Palace had seventy-two armies and each army was commanded by Demon Pillar, a God-level powerhouse. A demon army consisted of several demon corps which was commanded by a Demon Saint, a Hero-rank in Giza Continent’s term.
What this demon commanded was only a demon division. A demon division was lower than a demon corps as a demon corps consisted of several demon divisions.
The demon that could command a division had at least a power level of Demon Saint. They were powerful on their own and his subordinates were powerful too.
“We even lost two of our brigade commanders in the battle.” One of the demons reported.
If a demon corps consisted of demon division, then a demon division consisted of several demon brigades.
The army ranking of the demon army from highest to lowest was Army Leader, Corps Leader, Division Commander, Brigade Commander, Battalion Commander, Company Leader, Platoon Leader, and Squad Captain.
And the two demons that died were brigade commanders, a Demon Spirit which was equal to SSS-rank. The death of brigade commanders was a huge loss to his division and he didn’t know how he could explain it to the corps leader.
“This is irritating…”
The Division Commander gritted his teeth.
“This is all because of this one monster.”
He turned his head and stared at the corpse of the fifth evolution monster.
Although the monster was just an early stage, it still possessed unimaginable power that could destroy lands easily. The result of their battle was that a quarter of the central continent was turned into blazing hell.
“Argh, we need to finish this mission. Find the trait of demons on this planet even if you turned it upside down.”
His subordinates knew that they were trying to find a certain demon but they don’t have an idea who is it. He was the only one who know that their mission was to capture the Third Princess. The other demons were oblivious to this fact.
…
On the Council’s side…
“What?! the demons appeared? T-They are stretching their hands on sub-world!! Damn! Unforgivable!”
One of the higher-ups of the Council was filled with rage when he heard what happened.
Suddenly, one of the higher-ups said, “I think I know the reason?”
“What is it?” The rest of the higher-ups asked as they narrowed their eyes on this certain man.
“Remember that I’m the one that is handling that world in the shadows. I accidentally fought beings from the Great World and one of them is a demon. I think that the reason why the demon army is there is because they are trying to find that woman.” The man slowly narrated what happened to him while he was secretly managing that planet.
“Still, even if that’s the case that is still within our territory! The demons should have asked us first!”
“Do you think that we are worthy of their time? Don’t forget that most of the organizations in the Great World are looking down on us, the Council of High-World.”
“Those arrogant pricks of Great World?! One day, I’ll show them that the sub-world could rival them!!”
The higher-ups talked about their hatred towards the people from Imperium. One of them even came from a planet that was experimented on by people from Imperium.
Cooperation with them was impossible. They hated the big organizations of Imperium. All of them suffered from the hands of the people from Great World.
…
Boom! Boom!
Souta avoided the attacks of the three golems and he kept shooting energy blades on the chest of the golems. Their cores were situated in that part so he focused his attack on that part to shatter it.
But the energy layer around the core was tough. That’s all.
The golems were fast, powerful, and tough but their combat prowess was one-directional. It was like he was playing a game with easy difficulty.
Boom! Boom!
Souta launched a series of powerful attacks. The black lightning from the first form of Archetype was raging in all directions.
“Tsk! These golems aren’t suitable for fighting! They should just become a meat shield on the battlefield!”
‘Yeah, their movement is too simple.’ Saya couldn’t help but agree with his words.
Even the weaker golems that Curdova created have much more complicated movements than these three. At least those golems could exchange blows with Souta. Yet, these three were failures.
Just who the hell would leave these three failures to guard the core?
Souta tightened his muscles as he gathered a huge amount of energy in his sword.
Swoosh!
His figure flashed in front of a golem and he quickly thrust the vajra sword forward. The energy inside it exploded creating a violent torrent of energy to rush towards the golem.
Boom!
“With this, I finished dealing with one golem. Only two left.”
Souta quickly turned his attention to the remaining two before he proceeded to attack them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions sounded in the room as the battle continued.
After a few minutes, the battle stopped. Souta had finished dealing with all three golems.
“Ah, that was exhausting. I didn’t receive any damage by I used almost half of my energy dealing with them.”
Souta sat down on the ground as he glanced at the cylindrical glass which contained the core of the dungeon.
He then shook his head and approached the bodies of the golems. He picked one certain part in each golem. These parts were the key to open the cylindrical glass.
He used the keys and the cylindrical glass was shattered revealing the triangular shape object inside it.
Wondering where’s the equipment? It was behind the walls. Since he couldn’t shatter the walls with his current strength, the only thing he could do was to break the core to shut down the mechanism operating the [Impact Transferring] and [Energy Transferring].
“It’s time.”
Souta smirked as he slightly raised his hand and threw a jab at the core. The core was shattered easily and the whole place started to shake heavily.
Boom!
Cracks appeared on the ceiling and it started to collapse. This whole place was going to fall in just a minute.
Souta hurriedly gathered his energy and break the wall in front of him. What appeared before his eyes was another dark spacious room. But he could see what was hidden inside it with his own eyes.
Even without [Galaxy Eyes], he could see in the dark with his night vision trait.
A bracelet with black and white color was emitting faint energy. It has a purple color gem on the center.
The universal grade artifact, [Yin Yang Bracelet]. An artifact that embodied the dark and light attributes that simulate a chaotic ability.
And beneath it was the [Solid Hunter State Boots]. A piece of dark grade equipment famed for its strange speed ability.
