Then, he thought, ‘Forcing me to drop a nuke on an ant-‘
As he looked at the golden beauty’s destructed body, feeling a mix of indescribable emotions, he picked her body princess carry style, “It’s time to go home, Lil Belle.” At the same time, just as he muttered this, on nothing but thin air, abruptly a line of light began to be drawn as the very next moment, a door was opened right in front of him which showed the inside of a certain spaceship.
‘Others must’ve heard the loud noise of the spaceship crashing on that guest elder… it’s better if we rise to the sky immediately.’ Thought Virus as he began to walk inside the spaceship.
As he went inside, putting the golden beauty’s body on a bed in the spaceship, gazing at her sleeping face for a moment, he directly sent a command to the spaceship itself.
Promptly, the spaceship began to move as it took off to the sky. Meanwhile, a voice was heard from inside the spaceship, “Warning! Only forty percent of the shield remains intact.”
“Time remaining until full recovery of the shield to a hundred percent, 1:24:54… 1:24:53… 1:24:52-“
Right after they had taken off, just as he had expected, a few elders showed up there as they looked at the gigantic crater in front of them with shocked expressions.
“God… what happened here… who could possibly create this kind of…” One of the elders said in bewilderment.
“Ahhh… I think there is someone lying down there at the bottom-” Another dumbfounded elder suddenly spotted a body as he immediately jumped inside without any hesitation.
“Oh no, it’s guest elder Falcon!” While the other two elders were still staring at the crater in disbelief, they heard a shout which definitely belonged to the elder that had just jumped inside the pit.
“What… did he just say guest elder Falcon?” Knowing this matter seemed to be way more serious than they had initially assumed, with some beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads, both of them jumped inside in a hurry while yelling in impatience, “Is he still alive?!?”
‘God… please let him be alive… if he’s dead… our Silver Sky Sect is finished and we’re all going to be… massacred!’ In the meantime, while descending, one of the elders deliberated to himself while shivering in fear.
“Barely… he’s barely alive, both of you… hurry up.”
.
.
.
“So he’s still alive.” Listening to their conversation, gritting his teeth for a moment, Virus mumbled while thinking, ‘It’s not an ant… no, it was a cockroach.’
Virus had assumed that he would most likely die with the whole spaceship crushing him like an ant, however, now he realized that the guest elder either had a higher stage of cultivation than the level his spaceship could deal with or that he had a special means of defense which was very strong. Whatever it was, he was sure that the current him couldn’t deal with it considering the fact that the other elders had also shown up now.
He was confident that even if his current spaceship was the weakest battle-spaceship which was used for warfare, then right now, the guest elder would be already dead over and over. But unfortunately, it was just a transportation-spaceship used only for the purpose of commuting since he didn’t have the means of creating even the weakest one among the battle-spaceships with the current level of technology he had access to at this moment.
Although his transportation-spaceship had some means of offense, even before making an effort on attacking the guest elder with them, Virus was pretty confident that they wouldn’t be able to kill off the guest elder. So, the only remaining choice he had was to activate the shield completely and then drop the spaceship on him with rather fast speed.
However, unexpectedly, the guest elder was still alive, and that made the flames of anger once again blaze up inside Virus’ eyes as he uttered with determination, “I’ll be back for you-“
Then, looking at the golden beauty’s currently deactivated body, he voiced, “Let’s go home for now.”
Afterward, with great resolve filling his eyes, he took one last glance at the elder which was being taken away as the spaceship began to shoot outside the atmosphere of the Cultivation Earth and left.
.
.
.
As the spaceship was far enough from the Cultivation Earth, a rift opened in front of the spaceship as it left this world.
Right after the rift closed off, like always, a very ancient man showed up in the previous location of the rift as he muttered, “I’m late again… sigh, what is it exactly… maybe I should…”
.
.
.
A few minutes ago, while Astes was walking back toward the sect in a very downcast mood, abruptly…
BANG~~~
“Eh…” She jumped in fright hearing the loud noise as he murmured, “What was that?!”
After contemplating a little about what that noise could possibly be and what it implied, her face suddenly turned very ashen as she thought, ‘No… it couldn’t be that… nothing would happen to junior brother-‘
Then, as she came to herself a bit, she realized that she was already dashing toward the source of the noise, however, since her cultivation was rather low right now, it took her a while to arrive at the source of the noise. And by the time she arrived, the elders had already brought the injured guest elder away with themselves.
Feeling startled after seeing the huge pit in front of her, her body began to tremble a little while staring at it, ‘What happened here? Could it be that… something happened to them…’ As this thought went through her head which was the most likely possibility, she spotted bits of scrap metal and blood splashed in a corner, which made her feel as if she had fallen to the deepest level of hell for a moment as her heart felt even more uneasy, ‘Could it be that one of those greedy elders… no… please… be safe.’
Afterward, filled with anxiousness, she started searching around trying to find any clues which might help her understand what had happened there, however, eventually, after finding nothing, the only thing she could do was to go back and pray that both of them were still fine.
