Chapter 370: The Conclusion (Part 1)
Chapter 370: The Conclusion (Part 1)
Aksha's ability to expel three Fifth Rank sorcerers with a single move wasn't due to his superior strength, but rather his greater ability to harness the power of the Titan Core.
Even a Tier 5 Wizard would be powerless before this unique Sixth Rank Artifact.
However,
Expelling three Fifth Rank sorcerers was still a strenuous task for Aksha, and his face paled slightly.
For a moment,
The atmosphere in the chamber became eerily silent.
Julia and Hunter Leo exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with unspoken thoughts, but they didn't immediately take action.
As for the others...
They had long lost the will to resist, knowing that even Fifth Rank sorcerers could be expelled. Any attempt to fight back would be akin to seeking death.
"Heh..."
Aksha turned back, looking at the two of them:
"A wise decision."
"Even if I'm exhausted, I'm still a Fourth Rank Wizard. If you dare to make a move, I won't hesitate to get my hands bloody."
"Senior, you've hidden yourself well," Hunter Leo said with a complex expression, sighing.
"I'm impressed!"
Although he was the leader of a powerful force, back when he was still growing, Aksha had already achieved great fame and success. Calling him 'Senior' was only natural.
"Hidden?"
Aksha nodded, his voice filled with emotion:
"Yes!"
"I've been in hiding for nearly a thousand years, meticulously planning and simulating every move thousands of times before taking action, which has led me to where I am today."
Recalling the past.
In those days, Aksha was just a Sorcerer Apprentice in the Outer Academy of Rose Academy, striving to become a Wizard.
Then, as his Great Limit approached, he advanced to the Second Circle.
Later, he discovered the Titan Core in the Star Realm with several companions, and with its power, he broke through to become a Third Rank Wizard.
For hundreds of years.
Aksha secretly developed himself, gradually strengthening with the resources he obtained from the Titan Core.
Until...
He secretly became a Fourth Rank Wizard while others were unaware, and during this time, he plotted to control the Control Core.
Hide!
Develop!
Grow stronger!
Plan!
...
After living for nearly a millennium, Aksha had developed his own set of principles for handling matters: patience and preparation.
For this day.
He had started making preparations hundreds of years ago.
The Demon Hunter Corps and the Abyssal Cottage were pawns he had placed in Viper Academy, and he knew them well. He even helped these pawns rise to high positions, bringing them closer to 'spy' on the secrets of the Titan Core.
Even the betrayal of his own disciple, Charlott, was something he secretly orchestrated, while others remained ignorant.
This included revealing the location of the Madman's sealed area and the method to lift the ban...
Only by doing so,
Could he achieve a flawless plan!
"Miss Julia."
Aksha nodded towards Julia, speaking softly:
"I'd appreciate it if the Roll Family could help me open the Kernel of the Titan Core. Once this matter is concluded, I'm willing to form an alliance with the Roll Family."
Julia's face darkened.
She felt reluctant, yet helpless.
If Aksha truly gained complete control of the Titan Core, his possession of a Sixth Rank Artifact would be enough to earn the respect of the Roll Family.
As for her...
She might only receive an evaluation of 'insufficient achievement.'
"Clang!"
Aksha strolled over to the Control Core, extending his hand and pressing it against the surface. Instantly, the chamber lit up with a red glow.
As spiritual power was infused and refined, the massive cylindrical object began to emit a faint yellow glow.
Once the yellow glow replaced the red light, it would signify that the Titan Core had a new master.
The others could only watch Aksha's actions, but not a single one of them had the ability to stop him.
Just then.
"Umm..."
A prolonged mutter echoed through the void, slow and deep, like an ancient, unchanging message.
"Interesting!"
"A Sixth Rank Artifact, yet it hasn't recognized an owner, and its doors are wide open. I never thought I'd encounter such a thing."
"Who?" Aksha's face changed drastically.
His thoughts raced, but he couldn't figure out who else was inside the Titan Core.
The sudden voice made him feel an innate disgust, as it was something beyond his plans.
Anything that deviated from his plans would evoke his disgust, even fear.
"It's mine."
Karl's figure appeared in the chamber, and Karl casually waved his sleeve, sending Aksha flying. He reached out to grab the Control Core.
Fifth Rank!
To effortlessly overpower a Fourth Rank Wizard with a single palm strike, one would undoubtedly be a Fifth Rank Sorcerer.
Yet, this suddenly appearing Fifth Rank Sorcerer was unfamiliar to everyone, as if he were a wandering hermit from the Astral Plane.
The Astral Plane was vast and expansive.
The likelihood of encountering a Titan Core in the Astral Plane was akin to finding a single grain of sand in a vast desert that looked identical to the others but was somehow special—almost impossible.
Moreover,
He arrived at just the right moment.
It was as if fate had orchestrated this encounter with pinpoint precision.
This...
It was unclear whether to call it the newcomer's luck or Aksha's misfortune, but Julia and Hunter Leo, who witnessed this scene, both wore perplexed expressions.

"Stop!"
Aksha's eyes widened, and he roared, causing a temporal turbulence to suddenly surge in the previously calm space.
The temporal turbulence trapped Karl in place.
"Huh?"
Karl raised an eyebrow:
"The power of time?"
"Boom!"
His body trembled, and an intensely violent and terrifying force burst forth, sweeping through the area in all directions.
To the others' senses,
Karl seemed like a planet standing in the center of the arena, his immense power distorting the very fabric of time and space around him.
"Knight!"
Julia's eyes widened:
"Ancient Knight!"
Such terrifying vital energy and an incredibly formidable physical body didn't belong to a wizard or an Astral Plane creature.
It belonged only to the nearly extinct Ancient Knights!
Are there still those who follow the path of knighthood?
Gravity,
can alter time and space.
The temporal turbulence around Karl no longer affected him, and his hand pressed down on the control core.
"No!"
Witnessing this, Aksha's anger surged, and he waved his hands forcefully, using the same method he had employed to expel the three Fifth Rank Sorcerers earlier.
However, having already exhausted most of his psychic energy, this attempt at spellcasting was less effective.
Karl's eyebrows twitched slightly, sensing the expulsive force of time and space. In the next instant, he was about to cast a spell to resist.
But before he could act, he didn't stop the temporal force; instead, he roared and seized Aksha from a distance.
"Expel me?"
"You're coming with me!"
"Swoosh!"
The space in the arena fluctuated, and two figures suddenly vanished.
Hmm?
Huh! The remaining group's expressions changed, and Julia and Hunter Leo were momentarily stunned, then their faces lit up with joy.
With the most powerful individuals expelled, they were now the strongest in the area.
Which meant...
"Control Core!"
Hunter Leo tapped his foot, and his entire body transformed into a series of phantoms, moving forward as if teleporting.
Tier 3 Spell - Phantom Step! This wizardry could ignore various attacks, whether psychic, physical, or energy-based.
"Mine!"
Julia shouted, pointing her hand forward:
"Immobilize!"
An invisible giant force appeared in the void, directly trapping Hunter Leo in place.
Roll Family Tier 3 Secret Technique - Immobilization Spell!
This technique didn't freeze a person in place but instead trapped them by harnessing the power of heaven and earth.
And the stronger the target, the shorter the effect lasted.
"Crack!"
Cracks appeared around Hunter Leo, and with a struggle, he broke free. But in that brief moment, Julia had already rushed to the vicinity of the control core.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Several arrows streaked through the void.
As the leader of the Demon Hunter Corps, Leo was most adept at archery. His longbow was a Fourth Rank Artifact, and the arrows it fired could automatically lock onto targets and possessed a certain hit law.
Once released, they were sure to find their mark.
"Ding..."
Julia didn't dodge but instead threw a jade ring, and its glow clashed with the arrows repeatedly.
The two engaged in a rapid exchange, each trying to get closer to the control core while preventing the other from doing the same.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
A burst of flames exploded in the arena, and the massive shockwave knocked both of them back. A new figure appeared at their side.
Linen!
