Chapter 671: War in Subterranean World: Souta and Darwin vs Dromas II

Dormas deactivated his [Element Drive]. The magma quickly turned into solid rocks as mist spread everywhere.

Bang!

With a punch, he dispersed the mist along with the ocean of blood. Even though his opponent was a monster, the difference in their level was huge.

“Damn!” Souta cursed when he saw Dromas’ figure floating fifty meters above the ground.

“Did that monster send you here?” Dromas asked as he appeared in front of Souta and kicked him in the chest.

Argh!!

Blood spurted out as various flesh was destroyed on Souta’s body. His bones and muscles were being pulverized to dust.

Cough!! Cough!

Souta fell on his knees and coughed a huge amount of blood. He lifted his head and grinned, “Ehe~ You know it, right? But unfortunately, that one didn’t send me here. As you can see I’m one of the warriors here.”

“Then die!!” Dromas said coldly before he threw a punch.

Bang!

Souta moved his body and his opponent’s fist pierced through his stomach. He flicked his finger as the blood on the ground coated Dromas feet before it hardened.

“Hmm? What are you trying to do?” Dromas looked down.

Then, a huge amount of best feram burst forth. Souta smiled widely as he swung his sword. The blade of his sword gives off a blinding crimson light.

[Bestrou]!!

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!!

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!!

[Sixth Form: Piercing Thunder Strike]!!

A powerful attack landed on Dromas’ neck. It shattered several defenses on his body and it shook him.

“You!!” Dromas glared at him as he pulled out his hand on Souta’s stomach.

Argh!!

Souta groaned in pain. When his opponent pulled out, his intestines were ripped out. Blood came out but he ignored the intense pain in his body. He focused his attention on chopping Dromas’ neck.

[Crimson Moon]!!

[Crimson Slash]!!

His attack power had increased several times due to him being injured. It was the effect of his trait [Draw Blood II].

“You fucking monster!!” Dromas roared as he threw a punch.

Black lightning and crimson energy exploded in the whole area. It swallowed everything within a one-kilometer radius.

Boom!!!

The people near the battle couldn’t help but turn their heads. The energy coming from that direction was extremely dangerous.

A gust of wind gently blew the smoke covering the area. Dromas was floating while holding his neck. That monster managed to give him a wound on his neck.

After a few moments, he removed his hand as the cut stopped bleeding. Removing the lingering best feram on his wound took him a lot of effort. It wasn’t easy at all.

“Which one should I finish first?”

He narrowed his eyes. He could feel that the monster was still alive and the warrior was coming in his direction.

“I don’t have a choice.”

He turned around and launched a powerful kick in the air. His kick generated a shockwave that flew towards Darwin.

Darwin simply slashed the shockwave with his sword. Then, he continued to move forward at high speed. His body emitted a light as his speed increased several times.

Boom!

Instantly, he arrived in front of Dromas. He swung his sword diagonally but Dromas caught it with one hand. He clenched his left fist and threw it ahead.

Swoosh!

Dromas tried to avoid the punch as he loosened his grip on the sword. But it was already too late.

Bang!

Darwin’s fist landed on his shoulder. It pushed him several meters away and a bright light encompasses his surroundings.

“Shit!!”

He cursed as he crossed his arms in front of him. Flames and earth covered him as the bright light shrunk at unbelievable speed.

[Brilliant Holy Smite]!!

Darwin swung down his sword and a white light burst in every direction.

Boom!!

Souta looked above as he covered his eyes. He stood up with great effort as his wounds rapidly closed. He almost died in that situation.

“Damn, it’s incredible…”

He moved his body as he followed the two.

Boom!! Boom!!

He watched as Darwin and Dromas exchanged hundreds of blows. He was looking for an opportunity to land an attack.

…

Fred, a warrior from Fourth Set, was looking at the three nations with a grave expression. The two Grain Leaders of the Fourth Set had joined the battle and the remaining warriors were tasked to erect the barriers.

“The state of war hasn’t changed one bit. Almost three hours had passed since the war started.”

He turned his head and looked at the civilians that managed to escape from the battlefield. Their numbers were close to ten million. It looked like a lot of people had survived but ten million wasn’t even half of the entire population of three nations.

Most of them were people living near the walls so they managed to quickly escape. For people living in the inner part of the nations, they were stuck in the middle of the battlefield. Most of them had died as they didn’t even have enough strength to protect themselves.

C-rank, D-rank, and E-rank were all fodder. It was nearly impossible to escape the battlefield of A-rank and above with that level of strength. Even A-rank and S-rank were just normal soldiers in this war.

Fred shook his head as he walked to the corner. He drank a mana potion to refill his mana so that he could help in maintaining the barrier around the three national.

After the civilians finish resting, they will leave this place. Even though they weren’t on the battlefield, the dangers here were still high. They need to go to the other side of the subterranean world. The place where the Aekr Republic was situated.

“Just what are they planning?”

No matter how much he racked his brain, he could understand the goal of the Red Matter Association. That giant piece of land was like a fortress. No, it’s a fortress but what could it do? And the purpose of that vast amount of energy continued to surge near the ceiling was still unknown.

A lot of warriors were trying to guess its purpose but it was their first time seeing it, so they didn’t have any idea.

…

On the surface of Aranhgrad…

Huff!!

Vandal was breathing heavily as he looked at the man standing in front of him. His body was full of wounds.

The mighty Chief Captain of the Third Set was reduced into such state.

“You are strong, Vandal… But you wouldn’t win against me… I didn’t just sit on the couch drinking alcohol in the past few years.” Avron said as he stepped forward. “I trained harder to overcome my limits and now… I’ve reached this level of power but it still isn’t enough to achieve my goal.”

“I understand you as I want to get my revenge on them too but… Your path is wrong…” Vandal said in response.

“Do you think they are above us?”

“…No”

“So why? They aren’t different from us but they are looking down at us as if we’re just an insect.” Avron said.

“We’ve known each other since we were kids but you’re blaming them…” Vandal said.

“Why couldn’t we get the justice that we want? Is it because they are the descendants of the gods? Olympus is standing on their backs. That’s why we couldn’t do anything to them.” Avron said as he opened his arms widely. “You know what? I’m not a good person so I’m going to do it in my own way. Why are you working with one of their gods?”

“You…! Avron! You need to realize that you’re going to kill a lot of innocent people!” Vandal said in a loud voice.

“I already realized it a long time ago… When Layla was killed by those people, what did you do? You run and leave me alone in that place. They’ve imprisoned me.” Avron glared at Vandal but he quickly calmed down. “You did nothing for Layla. I’m alone fighting for her justice without anyone beside me. I got tired in that dark place.”

“I…” Vandal clenched his fist tightly.

“You did nothing! Instead, you even serve one of their gods!” Avron threw a punch.

“Your hatred consumed you, Avron!” Vandal roared as his fist collided with his opponent’s fist.

Boom!!

Their punches generated shockwaves that swept out the area around them. Vandal was thrown away and crashed into the buildings while Avron was only pushed dozens of meters away.

“You said that you wanted revenge too, right? What are you expecting?” Avron said while patting his clothes. “Stop expecting to achieve what you want.”

“In the past few years, I’ve learned a lot of things. I experienced a lot of things. I’ve failed countless times.”

Avron walked to the edge of the Aranhgrad and looked down at the countless people fighting below.

“People want to be loved but refuse to love. People want victory but refuse to fail. People want change but they think the same. People want acceptance but refuse to accept themselves. People want knowledge but refuse to learn. People want wisdom but refuse to look.”

He turned around and looked at Vandal’s eyes.

“People want justice but refuse to fight for it. And I’m the same as those people. It’s ironic, isn’t it?”

“I-I will stop you from killing innocent people…!” Vandal stood up as he wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.
