Chapter 644: Chapter 408: Start Early (6k Big Chapter!) _2
"Get out of the way!" Com, both anxious and fearful, hurriedly swung a dazzling red light, intending to break through the middle.
A Frost Shadow couldn’t dodge in time, got hit and was briefly staggered, revealing some gaps, and Com’s face slightly brightened as he seemingly increased his speed out of thin air.
Boom!
However, it was too late. In the moment he freed his hands to attack the Frost Shadow, his own speed inevitably slowed down. Thus, a punch from Colin, sticking to him like a clinging disease, had already caught up and heavily struck his back.
Com’s face turned ashen as he realized he could not escape this disaster... but more than death, there was something else he feared even more.
A trace of determination flashed through his eyes as he activated the Secret Technique given to him by the Envoy!
Pfft!!
In the next moment, Com’s chest burst open, creating a huge cavity. His mutilated body, with the momentum unspent, broke several trees before crashing onto the ground afar like a torn sack, raising a cloud of dust.
Colin exhaled a turbid breath lightly, slowly withdrawing his fist and then cautiously walked towards Com’s dead body.
Since there was no actual comparison object and no real combat experience, he had known he was strong before but didn’t realize how strong he actually was.
But now, even if not considering those ten Elemental Shadows, his own strength alone probably couldn’t be simply measured by the rank of Second Rank anymore.
A Second Rank Knight and a Second Rank Wizard combined, the effect was greater than the sum of parts.
That ordinary punch just now was actually a combination of various aspects such as the Steel Temperature Resistance Field, Swift Skill, and Knight Will, its power even surpassing the concentrated fire attack of five Flame Shadows!
Despite numerous thoughts in his mind, only two or three seconds had passed since he had flung Com away.
Colin was close to where Com had fallen, but he suddenly frowned and swiftly dodged to the side.
Swish!
A venomous grey-black spike shot past his previous position, piercing through several large trees without losing any momentum. The trees that were penetrated seemed as if they became contaminated, withering and decaying in an instant.
Colin looked solemnly at the bizarre Com in front of him.
The Com who should have been dead, was clinging onto life; his chest with a large hole and eyes filled with a filthy grey air from an unknown source.
This inexplicable power allowed Com not only to defy common sense by not dying but also seemed to revitalize him vigorously!
"Praise the almighty lord."
Com’s lips still curled up in a pleased arc, feeling the infinite power filling his body.
"Lord? Divine?" Colin’s expression suddenly changed.
"Oh... I accidentally let it slip, but no matter... huh?"
Just as Com was about to attack, his face dramatically changed.
"No... how is this possible? My soul!"
Colin raised his eyebrows slightly. The previously imposing Com now deflated swiftly like a balloon.
The filthy grey air that had been supporting his life now acted like a greedy blood-sucking monster, devouring all the energy in Com’s mutilated body.
His soul withered first, followed by the Magic Power, and then his body swiftly shriveled up...
In just a blink of an eye, only a pile of grey-white ashes remained in front of Colin.
Buzz—!
Then, the filthy grey air above the ashes violently churned, and a new figure emerged, walking out unhurriedly with a composed posture.
"What a waste." The newcomer glanced at the ashes at his feet and coldly spat out.
He was enveloped in a hazy luminescence, his face indistinct, but it made Colin feel a chilling aura.
Erwin, who had just dealt with two contaminated creatures with the help of the Flame Shadows, instinctively turned his head and his expression drastically changed.
"A Third Rank Wizard?!"
He recognized the hazy luminescence surrounding the newcomer, a manifestation of human nature and knowledge, a mark of a Third Rank Wizard!
Without hesitation, Erwin quickly fled towards the Secret Realm!
"Oh, is there another bug?" The indifferent voice followed like a clinging disease.
’Roon Family still needs me; I cannot die here!’
Erwin clenched his teeth, diving into the Secret Realm with a clumsy posture!
Just as he stood up from the stone platform inside the Secret Realm and sighed in relief, the murky figure outside gently raised his right hand, extending a finger.
Crack.
Suddenly, a pitch-black crack appeared in the entrance of the Secret Realm, and it steadily spread. Erwin’s face changed drastically, he quickly called out behind him:
"Quick, follow me and leave this place!"
To the outside world’s Colin, it seemed like Erwin intentionally returned to the Secret Realm to bring reinforcements, only briefly going in before suddenly running out with the rest of the Roon Family members.
Of course, Colin knew this was an illusion; Erwin was clearly fleeing for his life. With a heavy heart, he looked back towards the obscure figure not far away.
Even the Different Space cannot stop this?
"Surprised?" The murky figure chuckled lightly, "It’s just a small trick, after all. This Different Space is already on the verge of collapse, like an overripe grape, just find the right spot and it can be easily separated from the main world.
Of course, it might be a bit difficult for you to understand at the moment, but when you reach Third Rank... sorry, I forgot you could never reach Third Rank."
"You will all die today!"
The murky figure appeared with a composed demeanor, his tone gentle, even leisurely enough to resolve doubts... clearly feeling confident in overcoming them.
Erwin’s face changed again and again.
Thump, he suddenly knelt down.
"My lord, the Roon Family is willing to submit, willing to give up all the power of the Roon Kingdom, just hoping for a way to live."
