“There’s more than one person who can end you!"Swoosh!!! Enveloped in light, Strider and Remy descended from the hole like a pair of gods. Sage whizzed through the air and caught Adrian. Strider and Remy landed on the platform and faced the emperor with cold gazes, a natural reaction considering everything that was happening. "Take care of him, Mya." Carrying the heavily wounded Adrian, Sage jumped down from the platform to hand him to Mya. She then leaped back up and faced the enemy with her comrades. The emperor had not expected more people to show up. He gazed at the three of them and was shocked when he saw Strider."Who are you? Why do I sense the same aura as mine coming from you?" The emperor felt Strider was the same as himself as they had both mutated under the effects of the meteorites."I never expected there to be another person like me. You can’t be allowed to live." The emperor clenched his ax and swung a heavy strike. Remy, Strider, and Sage gripped their
Slash, slash, slash! Countless of Remy’s attacks hit the emperor. Sage and Strider, swords drawn, were also closing in on him.Boom! A huge shockwave spread out, causing the tower to quake and pushing the princess' room and the main hall to the brink of destruction. The trio attacked at the same time, but none of their attacks seemed to have any effect.They could not even damage the emperor's armor!"You vermin think you can hurt me? I'm going to crush you!"Boom!The emperor suddenly exuded a light beam so powerful that seemed capable of demolishing the entire tower. The black light enveloped the emperor, and his ax unleashed a terrifying murderous intent.What happened next was a catastrophic phenomenon!The zombies within Enigma City sensed their emperor's calling and started running toward the tower base, gathering in the thousands.Boom!!! The emperor's threatening aura burst out, sending Sage flying, followed by Strider and Remy. The tower trembled from top to bott
“Where do you think you're going?" the emperor growled and chased after them.Boom, boom, boom!!! As explosions went off, a sandstorm blew up in the eerily quiet Uduma Desert. The earth shook, followed by the three figures speeding off in different directions upon emerging from the ground. When the emperor appeared, the trio surrounded him. They were going to eliminate the thousand-year-old monster right here! ***The outlanders were also alerted to the events taking place in the Uduma Desert.In the meantime, Novemton headquarters was watching through their radars. The radars caught everything as Strider and the others appeared in the desert. This was followed by a huge surge of power."Your Majesty, a monster has appeared in the desert. Sir Strider and the others are fighting it right now. Looks like the monster is a hostile unit."Crystal watched the video feed quietly. The video zoomed in, showing a menacing-looking man over four meters tall, dressed in armor and wieldin
Jerome explained the situation, stating that intelligence was key. The others fell silent upon hearing this.Although the trio was currently facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the ones on Jerome’s side could not provide them with any assistance. The outlanders were keeping close tabs on the Uduma Desert. If Jerome were to lead his men there, Remy would lose their strongest shield. More importantly, the outlanders would take that chance to invade Novemton. Jerome instructed, "Sylvia, send out a warning that no outland organization is to step one foot in the desert. Any who refuse to heed our warning will receive a lesson they’ll remember forever." Sylvia nodded. "Right away, sir." "The rest of you, man your stations and remain on standby," Jerome added.Since the events at Enigma City, Jerome had gradually come to look at Adrian in a new light. With Adrian around, he believed that everything was under control. He believed that there would be unexpected changes before the
Although their weapons struck the emperor's armor, they were unable to penetrate it. Their attacks were rendered useless."Insolent vermin!" the emperor roared.He struck Sage in the chest, sending her flying like an arrow leaving its bowstring. He then charged at Strider with his ax swinging. With no way to evade, Strider had no choice but to receive the emperor's attack. A loud boom rang out, followed by Strider's feet getting stuck in the sand as he sunk into the ground. "Die!"The emperor stuck once more, and Strider's dagger looked like it was about to break. Strider trembled. A good portion of his body had sunk into the sand. "Yield!"The emperor struck a third time. This move would certainly cleave Strider in half if it landed. Thankfully, Remy grabbed ahold of the ax and stopped the attack. Seizing her chance, Sage dashed over and pulled Strider out from the sand.Bam! With a single punch, Remy was sent flying. He coughed up a mouthful of blood when he landed. "Rem
As Sage restricted the emperor's movements, Remy grabbed the emperor’s other hand and held it tight.Another streak of light approached.Strider appeared at the emperor's neck, grabbing ahold of the latter’s helmet."You say you want to rule the world and have killed so many using those meteorites. If that all ended here, I dare say you’re tough out of luck. You really shouldn't underestimate the power of those from the present," Strider said calmly as he relieved the emperor of his helmet while the latter was restricted.The emperor shouted, "Vermin! How dare you stand on my head! I'm going to put you in your place! Hrrraaaaagghh!” He fought back, slowly but surely freeing himself from his captors.Sage and Remy were almost out of energy and were losing their grip on him. Sage yelled, "I can't hold on much longer, Strider!" Thud! The emperor broke free and slammed Sage and Remy into each other. The pair fell to the ground. He then lifted his foot and stomped on Sage's head.
The effects of the explosion lasted for a full minute before it calmed down, and the kicked-up sand buried the trio.After a few coughs, Strider emerged from the sand. He then dug his teammates out.Remy's right leg was broken and he could no longer stand.With Strider and Sage's support, the trio got up and gazed at the explosion site. They could not detect the emperor."Is he dead?" Sage whispered.Strider shook his head.Remy replied, "His aura is still in the air, but he is heavily injured. We've definitely angered him now."A few minutes later, after the sand settled, they saw the Gost emperor standing in the middle of the crater. His helmet had been shattered, and there were gruesome wounds on his face. The wounds were oozing with black-colored blood. His armor had been damaged too.As blood oozed out of his wounds, the emperor unleashed a deadly aura. It was clear he was enraged. A boundless murderous intent filled the air as he lost control of his emotions. His aura swe
Strider and the emperor underwent the same mutation through the worms from Isle 416 meteorites. The two of them were akin to two peas in a pod.Looking at Remy, Strider calmly said, "Feel free to kill me if I ever turn into that."Strider closed the distance between him and the emperor. They could not afford to drag out the fight any longer, not when the emperor was growing stronger with each passing minute. Transforming into a blur, he launched a barrage of attacks at the emperor's head.The emperor's head was his only weak point, an opportunity that was created at the cost of Remy's leg. "Let's go help him!" Remy said."Okay!"Sage and Remy followed after Strider. Although this was the first time these three were teaming up, their coordination was incredibly smooth.Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Explosions went off, and the desert trembled as the ground bore the brunt of one assault after another. Meanwhile, there was something else happening within Enigma City.The tower's structur
