Chapter 858: The Death of the Sand King
Meow!
Morning Star's massive claw slashed through the air, and the head of the Sand King, Helldon, exploded into a cloud of sand.
Morning Star was already incredibly powerful, and this was a strike that had been charged for hours in the pet space. The Sand King, despite its lack of defenses, couldn't withstand the attack.
Helldon, despite the severe damage to his head, still retained over 80% of his combat power.
He had no time to question why Su Yu had betrayed him. He knew he was no match for Su Yu and Morning Star, and his only hope was to escape.
So, he began to burrow into the ground, hoping to escape through the earth's depths.
As the most powerful sand elemental, the underground was his domain, and Su Yu and Morning Star would never be able to catch him if he managed to escape.
But then, Su Yu made his move.
Su Yu reached into his necklace and pulled out a massive blue crystal, eight meters in diameter, that glowed with a deep blue light, as if a stream of water flowed across its surface. Just by looking at it, Helldon could feel the crystal's powerful pull, and a shiver from his soul.
Water Crystal! How did you get such a large Water Crystal! Where did you get it from?" Helldon was almost defenseless, his words already jumbled.
"Su Yu used a giant Water Crystal to kill it," Helldon recounted, trying to deceive the Sand King, Yasad, into thinking it was a trap, but the quality of this Water Crystal was excellent. The deep blue glow from the crystal alone made it clear that this was a seventh-tier legendary Water Crystal!
Helldon could see his fate before his eyes, as the deep blue light from the crystal seemed a sign of his impending doom.
Boom!
The element soldiers of Sand City heard startled by the massive explosion from the north, accompanied by intense vibrations and a shaking ground. One of the soldiers quickly reported the news to the command, but when it approached the command, it was clear that the city's leader, Gerold, was not sitting on his usual obsalic stone throne. Instead, he lay lying on the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
"Command, what's wrong with you?" the soldier asked in shock, rushing to the side to help the leader up, but as he drew closer, he could see the leader's body was already disintegrating into grains of sand, and his consciousness was fading.
"Your Majesty... has passed away," the soldier whispered, his voice trembling.
Hearing this, the soldier was stunned, "Thud," he fell to the ground, his shock rever through, "The king... has passed away."
The shock was too great, and the soldier was in disbelief. He had never believed the rumors, but now, he knew the truth. The death of the Sand King was a blow to the city, and the entire elemental army.
Recently, the emperor's loyal elemental forces seemed unscathed, leading those in the know to believe the emperor was still alive.
But now...
The city guard commander, who appeared to be a direct subordinate of the emperor, had been killed. Could it be... no, it can't be!
The elemental guard numbly released the commander, who was already a heap of rubble, and stood up, walking to the window.
Looking out, he saw that the city outside had turned into a hellish landscape.
Countless elements were howling madly, signaling the end of the world.
...
Su Yu and the cat Morning Star quickly finished their focused attack on the Sand King.
The Sand King's loyal forces, responding to the emperor's call, rushed to the scene but died en masse along the way.
The non-loyal forces of the Sand Kingdom arrived shortly after, but by then, Su Yu and Morning Star had already taken the Sand King's core and fled.
...
...
Half an hour later, in the main plane, in the kingdom of Wind Chimes, the city of Bandel.
In a small tavern called "Sword and Rose" on the west side of Bandel City, Su Yu and Morning Star patiently waited for someone.
After a while, a peculiar-looking individual walked in.
This strange person wore a brown leather jacket and a dirty white woolen trouser. He had a wooden spatula on his left hip and a lollipop on his right. On his head, he wore a pink, absurd-looking hat, and his face was covered in a thick beard, interspersed with bits of leaves as if it hadn't been groomed in years.
Anyone else seeing this person would likely think they were mentally unstable, the kind of lunatic who's been neglected for a long time.
But Su Yu knew that this person was not only sane but also a famous plane trader—Bachstein Gainsborough, a 7th-tier powerhouse.
And he was the person Su Yu was waiting for.
The reason for his disheveled appearance—charitably called "unassuming," less charitably "a mess"—was simply his nature. His unkempt look saved him from many unnecessary troubles; people tended to avoid him.
...
The tavern owner and Bachstein were quite familiar, as the latter was a frequent visitor.
Despite the customer's odd behavior and "unique" fashion sense, the owner always greeted him with a smile, knowing he was generous with his drink money and tips.
"Hey, Bach, what'll it be today?" the owner greeted as Bachstein entered.
Before Bachstein could respond, Su Yu spoke up, "Two of your best bottles, on me."
Then, Su Yu turned to the cat Morning Star on his shoulder and smiled, "Morning Star, the person we're waiting for has arrived."
"It's him?!" Morning Star stared in surprise at the peculiar figure before them.
She had been unusually alert, standing on Su Yu's shoulder, eager to meet the "famous plane trader."
But she hadn't expected someone like this!
As the saying goes, "You can't judge a book by its cover," but this was taking it to a whole new level!
Bachstein, however, showed no signs of panic.
Smiling, he approached and sat down in front of Su Yu, "Ha, young man, what can I do for you?"
