Chapter 117 - Sacrifice. (1/2)

Just as Krune heard that voice, he noticed a surge of spiritual energy entering the compression formation. He then looked in the direction of that voice and noticed that a wisp had thrown itself inside.

”You! Get out of there!”

That wisp heard Krune's orders but completely ignored him.

”Well, I was able to live without worry for a long time here. It was really nice, but I guess I had enough of this already.”

Just like the previous time, Krune felt a surge of spiritual energy entering the formation from another side. Once again, another wisp entered the formation.

While Krune eyes were going red, Lakin was going crazy as well. But it didn't stop there.

”Haha! Lakin, you better take care of Cassy well. Otherwise, I will come back to haunt you as a ghost.”

”To think that I would leave this world as a hero, not bad for a wisp, right?”

More wisps entered the formation and started to released their core energies inside. Krune understood what was happening here, so he couldn't bring himself to stop them.

It turns out that the wisps that are sacrificing themselves are the old ones. Lakin had gathered a lot of wisps, so it was evident that quite a few of them were at a higher age.

”Krune, Lakin. Don't worry about us old geezers, but make sure to take care of the young ones. That's all that I ask.”

”He is right. Also, we have almost no hope to enter the Foundation Establishment to start with. So we would be able to live one or two more years at most anyway. At least like this, we can give hope to their future.”

Krune could feel their determination, and as unwilling as he could be, he knew that he had no other choice either. Lakin, obviously, understood that as well. But he still wanted to stop them. Unfortunately, Mile didn't let him go.

All the wisps which were above eight years old used their own energy to feed the compression formation.

Finally, there was enough energy for the formation to finish it compressing up to 10%. Krune knew that there wasn't time anymore, he immediately contacted Little Light, and they started to coordinate.

Krune then gathered the Tribulation Lightning around the formation using his flying shields as conductors. Little Light controlled the energy so that it wouldn't go anywhere else. After Krune brought almost all the power he had available, he concentrated on the formation stability. He then told Little Light to send the attack any time he wanted.

Little Light was really good at it, the Tribulation Lightning struck the compression formation evenly from all sides. But even so, Krune was having a hard time to keep it under control. Fortunately, the last kick would be a one wave attack, so it took just a few seconds for the attack to be over.

Krune then threw the spatial box in the middle of the formation and immediately sealed that compressed space inside. In the corner of the inner city, there was now a twenty kilometers radius crater, and right in the middle, one could see a spatial box lying quietly. Finally, the pocket dimension spatial box with a life-support function was ready.

Boom!

”Not good, the inner city protection formation has crumbled!”

The only fortunate thing is that the inner city is also enormous. So even that Soul Forging Realm cultivator couldn't spread his Divine Sense to cover it all. Not to mention that Hasik was using the dimension formation to intervene with their Divine Sense too.

Krune couldn't waste more time, he immediately grabbed the spatial box and examinated it. Just as expected, the part of the dimension that he took away could be perceived inside, it was pretty much like a spatial ring. krune then came close to everyone and said.

”I will drag everyone inside, do not resist the suction power.”

Lakin had transformed back to his human form but looked completely dispirited. Krune then gave him a kick an sent him flying over a hundred meters away. He then grabbed him back and said.

”Is that how you intend to act after what they have done for you? If that's all you got, then I don't need a disciple anymore.”

Before Lakin could even answer, he threw him inside the spatial box too.

One by one, wisps and demon beasts disappeared inside. It only took Krune a minute to bring everyone into the spatial box pocket dimension. But Mile still stayed outside, though.

”Are you not coming?”

Mile just laughed and said.

”There is no need for it, I will stay here to catch their attention while you move to the fourth gate. Almost all powers of the Yule Continent are involved in the opening of this new Secret Realm, so the mercenary guild is obviously among them. Bary had already registered me for this mission too, so they can't find any fault with me. All they will do is to force me to show my spatial rings content.”
