Chapter 372: Summary (Part 2)
Chapter 372: Summary (Part 2)
Hunter Leo fled to an unknown location, temporarily trapping Julia within the Twelve Star Palace.
For a moment, no one in the arena posed a threat to Linen.
He stepped forward, pressing down on the massive Control Core, and a flame emerged from his palm, beginning the process of refinement.
A white light surged forth.
The red glow within the Control Core gradually faded.
...
In a void space, someone observed the events unfolding outside clearly but was unable to intervene.
"No!"
Madman Walter roared loudly,
"The Titan Core is mine!"
"Ladies and gentlemen,"
Aksha also entered this space, his expression equally grim. He addressed the furious gazes directed at him,
"Now is not the time for infighting. Let's join forces to get out of here first, and then we'll deal with that young upstart."
"If we fight to the death here and let a mere youngster claim the Titan Core, it will be a laughingstock if word gets out."
"I can take all of you out of here!"
"Hmm..." Cheri, the witch enveloped in dense abyssal power, hesitated, her eyes flashing as she bit her lip,
"I have no objections."
"Hehe..." The Fifth Ring being from the Roll Family chuckled lowly,
"Agreed!"
"But whoever claims the Titan Core must sign a mutual defense pact with the Roll Family, and we will require a portion of the authority here."
It was merely a 'soul' and couldn't refine the core, and Julia had already failed.
Therefore,
The Roll Family had lost their chance to seize control.
Since that was the case, it was better to make an agreement in advance with the one who would eventually obtain the Titan Core.
"No problem!" Aksha nodded.
"Bullshit!" Karl sneered,
"That thing should've been mine, but because of you, it's going to be occupied by a mere child."
"I don't care about the others, I'm taking you out first!"
Before he finished speaking, a heart-pounding battle aura erupted from him, transforming into a phantom shadow of a Buddha in midair.
Mind Buddha Palm!
The palm descended.
The void froze.
An infinite mighty force, like a falling meteor, carried a ferocious killing intent that surged into the target's inner sea of spirit.
Unlike the others in the arena,
Karl was a genuine Fifth Ring Sorcerer, and even among his peers, he was considered a top-tier existence.
By refining the divine flame of the gods, his strength had skyrocketed.
Furthermore, through the divine power and divinity contained within the divine flame, he gained a clearer understanding of the operation of the heavenly laws.
This time, Aksha had no resistance against him.
"Wait!"
Cheri's pitch-black eyes shimmered, and a chaotic giant hand appeared out of thin air, blocking the Buddha Palm.
"If we kill him, it will be difficult for us to leave for a while. Let's wait until we get out before making a move?"
"Bang!"
The chaotic giant hand crumbled upon contact.
But with this brief respite, Aksha had regained his composure and quickly manipulated hand seals to influence the flow of time.
His time became more leisurely, while the others' time slowed down.
The difference,
Tenfold! Aksha experienced ten seconds while the others had barely passed one second.
This tenfold difference was enough for Aksha to cast several spells, especially with the aid of the Titan Core's power.
The distorted space acted like an invisible giant hand, engulfing the incoming Buddha Palm and making it disappear without a trace.
"Hmm!"
Aksha grunted, staggering backward.
He felt like an ant before a giant elephant when facing Karl, even with external assistance, it was still incredibly challenging.
And this,
Was just a casual strike from his opponent.
"Attack!"
The Roll Family's 'soul' growled,
"The will of the Ancient Knight is unbreakable, and once they make a decision, it's difficult for outsiders to sway them. A Fifth Ring..."
"We only have a chance if we attack together."
Fifth Ring Sorcery—Vengeful Ghost Curse!
Vengeful ghosts, born from the collective negative emotions of all living beings, tore through the void and rushed towards Karl's location.
Buddha's Radiance!
The will of a Fifth Ring Knight was unyielding; even if the world crumbled and the universe collapsed, they would remain unmoved.
The vengeful ghost before Karl was no different from any other Yin-attributed energy, easily suppressed with a mere lift of his hand.
"Ah!"
Madman Walter roared, and though he was a Tier 4 Wizard, he knew what to do.
Secret Technique - Space Collapse!
He, a Fourth Rank, was actually able to cast a Fifth Circle Spell.
Karl's body began to collapse into a lower dimension, slowly transforming from a three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional plane.
Alas.
The process only progressed halfway before it abruptly halted.
Power!
Divine power erupted from within Lin En, breaking free from the spell's restraints and charging madly towards the group.
Mind Buddha Palm - Divine Nirvana!
Karl's figure flickered, transforming into a bright moon hanging high in the sky, as time and space revealed all their secrets to his eyes.
With a casual strike...
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
...the attack hurtled towards Aksha after a ten-second delay.
A casual wave of his hand...
...and the stray elemental particles in the world coalesced into a Hexagonal Defense Shield, blocking the chaotic power.
"Boom!"
The resounding boom echoed endlessly.
Accompanied by a miserable scream, Aksha was instantly crushed by an invisible colossal force, while Madman Walter coughed up blood and flew backward.
Witch Cheri, at some point, had summoned a Wizard Tower, and the chaotic power hidden within her erupted completely.
Fifth Circle!
It was as if a Fifth Circle Wizard had possessed her, and through the Wizard Tower, she unleashed wave after wave of world-devouring light.
For a moment...
...Karl struggled to gain the upper hand.
But defeat was only a matter of time, even if it was the combined effort of the Roll Family's Fifth Rank Vengeful Ghosts.
The winner...
...would undoubtedly be Karl!
It would just require some sacrifices.
A deep humming reverberated through the area, and the visible Control Core began to shrink.
Lin En's body hovered in mid-air, his brows furrowed, his face contorted in pain.
"What's wrong with him?" someone whispered.
"He seems to have refined the Control Core, but why does he look so tormented?"
"It should be the energy coursing through his body," Three-Eyed Raven flapped his wings, as if having guessed something, and said, "Aksha once said that refining the Titan Core would significantly enhance one's power."
"The accumulated energy here will cleanse the refiner's physical body and spirit, and even elevate their status."
"Damn!"
"Aksha also mentioned that if one can't withstand this power, their body will explode!"
"A Third Circle Wizard probably isn't qualified. Otherwise, Aksha could have entered the Inner Ring long ago."
Ah! Gear Jack's expression froze.
Initially, when Lin En defeated Hunter Leo and Julia, he was ecstatic, knowing that their status would rise with his success.
If his good friend could refine the Titan Core, their position wouldn't be any lower, right?
But if not...
"Does that mean we have a chance too?" someone whispered.
"You have no chance!"
"Even a Third Circle Wizard can't withstand it, how can we? We're not even on the same level."
"Boom!"
Before they could finish, the accumulated energy in the area erupted again, and a blinding light burst from Lin En's body, blocking everyone's perception.
In their blind spot, Lin En's physical body was being torn apart by the raging energy.
At the same time...
...his Inner Sea of Spirit was also being ravaged by the Astral Plane's energy.
In theory...
...a Third Circle Wizard indeed wasn't qualified to refine the Sixth Rank Artifact, the Titan Core. Forcing the refinement would only lead to a dead end.
Even Lin En's physical body, tempered through various methods, couldn't withstand the onslaught of this energy.
But!
He wasn't a mere Third Circle Wizard. Behind his Inner Sea of Spirit stood an Ancient Knight at the peak of the Fifth Rank.
At the moment when his physical body and Inner Sea of Spirit were about to collapse...
...a powerful force surged in, and Karl began to take over everything.
