Chapter 128: A Nobilitys Carriage? (1/2)

As the element of chaos struck Seven's abdomen, his fist sank a little before the light pushed him away, radiating a heat that vaporized sweat. Then, as the blades of light struck at him, Nikolai's shield blocked it without any effort.

[-521 DMG!]

Of course, the damage was insane. However, this man wasn't the only one who could inflict damage more than his strength stats. As the chaotic energy infiltrated Seven's body, he coughed up, and blood leaked out of his mouth.

Nikolai reached out to the chains and pulled his weapons back. They flew in an arch of destruction directly toward the two people. However, Nikolai whipped out his chain and changed the target of one of the blades.

Before the two monstrous pets could stop him, his blade struck the infant sea serpent, ending its life. It gave a dying scream as the blind sea serpent fell to its demise before the Abyssal Art.

”No, no, no!”

Twelve rushed toward the serpent, but it was dead. Nikolai's blade gave it no chance to resist, tearing it into two in a second. Even if this monster was of the E-rank, Nikolai's darkness and Abyssal Art allowed him to bring destruction.

”You bastard,” the voice of Seven was rageful as he struck at Nikolai, striking him squarely in the chest. Nikolai's shield stood strong, and he smirked in return as he attacked toward the man's neck.

The light prevented him from killing Seven, and Nikolai had to fall back. The cave began crumbling after the scream of the sea serpent which summoned its parent.

The giant sea serpent rushed into the cave, slithering toward the group with rageful agony. When it witnessed the body of its child, torn apart and lifeless, the serpent's body began giving a blinding searing light.

The dragon gave a roar that shook the heavens, its intelligent eyes full of grief at the loss of its child. Twelve rushed toward Nikolai to grab him, but the latter disappeared from existence.

There were only Seven and Twelve left in the chamber, and they had to suffer the wrath of the dragon. A heaven-shaking battle occurred that shouldn't have happened in Nikolai's previous life, and he was the sole culprit for it.

”They should be gone now, right?” Nikolai sat on top of the giant machine, studying his art and tending to his pocket dimension. It has been half a day since he slipped into his pocket dimension and waited for the two pets to suffer the wrath of the serpent.

Nikolai could imagine Sergio shaking his head with disapproval as he sat beside him. However, Nikolai tried to explain that he had no other choice. If Lilith obtained the sea serpent, humanity would suffer a bigger blow than a moral one.

As a last resort, Nikolai decided to stick to his methods and kill the monster, making sure it would never end up in the hands of the princess. Furthermore, this was the perfect trap for the two to suffer at the hands of the sea dragon.

After he left his pocket dimension, Nikolai went directly into his stealth. At first glance, he wondered if he was somewhere else, but that couldn't be.

The chamber was flattened, and the cave was half destroyed. The space that Nikolai could stand in was barely as big as a small tunnel. As he looked around, there was no one there other than the sizzling mana of light.

Nikolai walked out from between the rubble, and he could see that the ground had been dyed in blood. There were pieces of torn flesh everywhere, and all of them were either scorched or disfigured.

However, the gems were left out. Instead, they were abandoned for a bigger prize. Nikolai made sure that no one was there before he began harvesting the place.

[Absolute Charge: 6968]

As Nikolai picked up the gems and placed them in his dimension, he realized what a devastating battle it would have been if not for his Legendary Skill. First, however, he would need to recharge it because this was only the beginning of such adventures.

The harvesting of gems lasted for two hours, a precious time that he could have spent catching up with Unit 34. However, it was well worth it because, in these two hours, Nikolai gathered more money than he could have in years of his previous life.

After that, Nikolai dived back into the water and swam to the riverbank. The water pooled beneath him as he breathed in the fresh air with labored breaths.

”The army should have gone in that direction,” Nikolai muttered within his dark dimension. ”Should I follow them or travel alone?”
