Chapter 47：Adaptability Level is Insufficient (1/2)

I recounted everything I have on my possession right now as well as the stored energy I have left. I'm out of World Energy so dodging using Flash Step isn't possible now. If I will take on another enemy, I have to be decisive to finish it quickly before any surprises arise from the opponent.

The remaining Psyche Boost I have left are all reserved for the hero's use. He'll need it more than me.

I will be fighting by only using Brute Energy if ever. It's a good thing that I can use it indefinitely as long as I'm here or else spamming my Augmented Skills will not be viable.

I had witnessed Erin's fight many times and I observed how she restrained herself from using her Augmented Skills if possible, her reserves are low and it needs some time to replenish it.

Five minutes later, the concealment wore off. I'm already a few hundred meters away from that deserted camp, the battle that was still ongoing midair was about to reach its conclusion.

Old Man Reol while riding the Turtle-like Pillar, fused with it.

Pillars also have that function? Or is that unique to the Old Man?

Green illusory aura covered his body which transformed to something like an armor with turtle-like patterns.

When that happened, every attack launched by his opponent was deflected. It could somehow make a dent but it will just recover after a while.

At that moment, the Corrupted King Realm showed signs of hesitation.

Has he thought of fleeing?

Unlike the Old Man, he's already cut off by the inherent energy of the world. If he depleted his reserves, he won't have any option to flee anymore.

He didn't have any bag in his person which might possibly contain those balls of Brute Energy.

And my guess turned out to be right.

He launched another attack and when he got deflected once again, he willed his Pillar to catch him from midair.

As soon as his body landed on it, the Pillar bolted and carried him away from the Old Man with a speed even faster than he showed earlier.

That guy is decisive, I can't help but be in awe. He's like me when deciding when to flee.

Too bad for him though. It was that Old Man, he's not just an ordinary King Realm like him who gave up and got enticed.

Old Man Reol's turtle pillar separated from his body and replacing it was the eagle pillar.

Illusory Wings was immediately generated, with a single flap, the Old Man's figure vanished from where he was.

I've only seen afterimages as he chased after the Corrupted King Realm.

This is only the 2nd time I've seen that Old Man fight someone and he still made it look so easy for him. Will there be a day where I can see the extent of his strength?

The Principal predicted that it would need three years for the higher existence at the level of that incarnation could pass through their portal, maybe there's hope for this Old Man to pass through the bottleneck he was stuck at for 20 years.

But with me being the variable who could speed up that time frame, I need to grow at least to the level of the current heroes before that happens.

10 minutes had passed before I saw Old Man Reol flying back to the deserted camp with a beaten up Corrupted King Realm behind him, it was being held by his Eagle Pillar at its foot. He probably decided to fish out information from him.

He left me there, will he be able to see me here? Ah, let's go back. With his appearance, those 3 will most likely have run away already or hid themselves. I still wanted to experience the inherent energy of that world to see how it was different than any other form of energy I got accustomed to but that could wait.

Contrary to my expectation, Old Man Reol descended in front of me, he already saw me earlier when the concealment wore off.

He looked so mighty and imposing right now with his Golden Crown glowing brightly atop his head and all his Pillars transformed into beasts.

The Eagle dropped the body of the Corrupted King Realm before Old Man Reol made them disappear into his body again.
