Reincarnator â Chapter 417: A Step Toward Desolation (4)
Rumble!
The Great Allen Ravine.
The giant ravine that had acted as the boundary between the Pompeion Empire and the Neropa Union had long lost its purpose due to the new boundary that was now the giant barrier.
Whooosh!
The giant barrier rose up in from between the ravine and into the sky, creating various sounds beneath it, deep within the ravine.
Oooong!
A giant tower rose up from below the ravive, but the difference between its size and the ravineâs was so vast that people couldnât see the tower. However, the tower was actually massive as well.
Next to the tower that was located in an extremely dangerous environment, covered in the heat and pressure that rose up from the Red Jade deep within the planetâŠ
Whoooosh!
White clouds started to appear, and suddenlyâŠ
Whoosh!
⊠the clouds spread apart as a couple appeared from within them.
The moment they appeared, the surrounding heat and pressure started converging upon their location as if fighting an intruder. It was an environment that the people of Angkara had given up due to its harsh conditions, which even kept the Dragon God Soldiers from being able to work.
However, the couple that had appeared didnât mind it. They quickly surrounded themselves with reinforcements. If that amount of heat and pressure had been able to damage them, then the tower wouldnât have been there in the first place.
Samuel, one of the two, frowned as he looked at Kiriel, who had just helped him teleport there instantaneously.
âDamn⊠That memory reading ability this really is disturbing.â
Who would feel good having someone rummage through their mind?
Kiriel shrugged.
âNothing I can do. I can only move to places I know.â
âTsk!â Samual continued frowning as he said, âThat⊠about Mihee. Donât tell her. I willâŠâ
âI know, I know.â
Was he really worried about a thing like that in a situation like theirs?
âJust confess already,â Kiriel shook her head at the thought and looked around the area. âSo, it was in a place like this.â
Rumble!
The powerful heat that came up from the Red Jade had covered the surroundings, and Kiriel stared at the giant metal tower that was standing within the flames. It really looked out of place.
If Samuel hadnât been the one to erect them, it wouldâve been really hard to find where those things were. Even if the towers were huge, finding something like that in those vast lands would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
âBut hey, we found it.â
Oooooong!
Kiriel continued to look at the giant metal tower that shone brightly within the red flames. Though the size didnât make destroying it an issue, the thin protective barrier surrounding it did.
Samuelâs complaints could be heard coming from next to her as well. âTsk! I thought it would be simple,â Samuel mumbled at the metal tower.
Destroying the tower itself was easy. However, the protective barrier that was absorbing the energy of the Relic to maintain and sustain itself really got in the way. Though it wasnât as powerful as the giant barrier, the protective layer seemed as if it was still quite sturdy.
âWith just a three-star⊠It wouldnât be enough.â
Not only that, but the moment they attacked it, the three clan heads would be notified. They would rush over there the moment the alarms reached them.
Samuel sighed as he thought up to that point and then looked at Kiriel.
ââŠThis is impossible. Letâs just give up.â
âStop spouting nonsense. You know what will happen if you give up.â
The moment they gave up, every living creature outside the barrier would burn to death, and Hansoo would be driven deep into the planetâs core.
However, Samuel continued to shake his head.
âI really cannot think of a way. The metal towerâs protective barrier is stronger than I thought.â
They were able to teleport, but the clean heads had access to photon transmission. If the clan heads used the energy that had originally been designated for fighting Pompeion to run the photon transmission, then essentially teleporting the three clan heads would be an easy feat.
It would be more than enough to match Kirielâs skill.
Maybe if their location wasnât exposed⊠But the moment they started to attack a tower, the clan heads would rush over and stop them.
âDamn! I just need to destroy one, but we donât have enough people.â
Kiriel clenched her jaw. If someone distracted the clan heads and bought them time, maybe. However, as they were, they were nowhere near enough.
As Kiriel made a tight fist, looking depressedâŠ
Booooooom!
⊠the giant barrier that rose high up into the sky shook.
It was as if the entire land was being broken apart.
Rummmmbleee!
The land beneath it reverberated with noise and vibration as the Red Jade went on overdrive, and the barrier cracked apart slowly as the towers that were maintaining it made huge noises and started to shine blindingly.
Ooong!
And in the midst of all this, Samuel and Kiriel looked on in disbelief.
â⊠What the?â
Even the attacks from the ships hadnât been enough to shake the barrier, so who could be affecting the barrier to that degree?
âWho?⊠Is it him?â
Kiriel turned around and looked past the barrier.
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
Kuooooo!
Cracks were appearing on the giant barrier that split apart the earth and heavens.
Ooooong!
As the barrier struggled to regenerate the cracks and stabilizeâŠ
Boooom!
âŠ. a red beam cut through the land and smashed against the blue barrier again, a power that was dimensions stronger than a shipâs attack.
If the bright barrier was the shield of the gods, the red beam that smashed against the it was the spear that served to punish them.
And from the end of that spear, a man, who stood on the other side of the barrier, chuckled coldly.
âIt doesnât tarnish the hard work that went into it, haha.â
Chiiiiik!
It was the emperor of the Pompeion Empire, Pompeion himself.
The crystal that was being held in Pompeionâs hand shone menacingly red, and from beneath his feet, a giant cannon the size of a city let out smoke as it cooled down.
<Initiating Nano Coolant!>
<Relic Overloaded⊠Twenty-nine seconds left until next available attack!>
<⊠The 114th Zone, 291th Zone have entirely melted away!>
Various panels appeared around Pompeion reporting the giant cannonâs status.
The cannonâs name was Gungnir.
Though the cannon looked as if it had been designed to shoot down gods, the current situation wasnât that good. Smoke rose up from various parts, and the sounds of things blowing up could be heard constantly.
And, as Pompeion frowned at that, the Technoratâs flustered face appeared.
<My lord, there is only one strike left. Though the lord and the Relic are perfectly fine, I donât think Gungnir can hold on anymore.>
âUnderstood, hurry and prepare.â
Pompeion frowned and then looked toward the bright barrier. The cannon that had cost an entire yearâs worth of the Empireâs earnings was breaking down with just two attacks.
Though they had both used a Relic to produce results, unlike the barrier that was slowly recovering itself, the giant spear seemed to have received a large amount of damage.
âTsk! Is this the limit?â
The stolen technology seemed to be too much for their capabilities.
Pompeion chuckled as he he said, âThat Neropa⊠Is it helping me while knowing what that alien is thinking?â
No, Neropa didnât know. If it had, then it wouldnât have been helping him like this.
Of course, Pompeionâs question didnât receive an answer.
âHeâs like a bloody statueâŠâ
Pompeion took a glance at Sangjin, who had been watching the barrier silently, and then refocused.
One attack left.
However, even if he finished the barrier this way, he wouldnât be able to rest.
âAfter I deal with this, I need to face him. So, I can only trust you to handle the rest.â
As Sangjin noddedâŠ
Oooooong!
⊠the tremendous energy that seeped out from the Relic under the emperorâs control created a long spear within Gungnir.
And this time, the spear won.
Booooom!
The barrier that had been recovering was pierced, a giant hole punched through it. But, it didnât seem like they had a lot of time.
The barrier continued to regenerate, and the hole dwindled quickly. However, Pompeion didnât worry. From that point on, things wouldnât be his reponsibility.
âHurry and go in!â
Whooosh!
Sangjinâs shone a bright violet as he quickly flew toward the hole into the Neropa Union.
âŠâŠâŠ..
Boooooooooom!
âWhat theâŠ? Whatâs going on!â R-Gregorian Nell freaked out as he turned around to the huge noise.
The barrier that split the earth across and rose up into the sky now had a hole in it.
ââŠThey pierced it?â
But, his shock only lasted a moment.
Kuuududuk!
Kuduk!
R-Gregorian Nell quickly turned around again to the sounds that occured behind him, and the thing he was supposed to watch over came into view.
At that moment, he realized that the pierced barrier wasnât the biggest issue.
He remembered his objective, so R-Gregorian Nell quickly activated his visor and shouted, âDamn! Emergency! Code Red! The strange life form has started to move! I repeat, this is not a drill! Code Red! The strange life form has started to move again!â
His objective: watch over the mountain-like monster and report the moment a changed occurred.
âDammit! Respond!â
Kadududuk!
Roaaarr!
R-Gregorian Nell started to cry as he shouted while watching the moving mountain.
