Chapter 344: Higher World Denizens (1) (1/2)

A stronger than a normal opponent. His UPL has exceeded everyone here and it shows when the four at the front warily took a step back, leaving the fallen statue alone.

Although there's only one, the terrifying sense from the energy currently gathering on the tip of the tall figure's pointed finger was enough for them to think about their lives.

A few seconds later, the energy accumulating from his finger, under their watchful eyes, shot forward while producing deafening noises.

WOONG!

”Dodge it, Faren!”

Monady shouted immediately upon noticing its trajectory. Although Faren also noticed it, his reaction time was slow.

In a blink of an eye, the energy attack from the tall figure traversed the distance between him and Faren. From how fast it was, it could be compared to my Vanishing Steps wherein it instantly achieved the maximum speed.

Although his reaction was a bit slow, Faren still managed to pull out something from his pouch. Along with the Quintuple Shields from my Bulwark of Invulnerability, three crimson pillars shot out and embedded on the ground around him.

After pouring out his stored energy into the three pillars, a thin energy film extended from each pillar forming a triangular shield with his as the center.

When the tall figure's attack arrived a split second later, the Quintuple Shields were broken one by one, diminishing the force of that attack to at least half of what it should have been.

Thanks to that, when it hit the thin energy film made from his crimson pillars, the energy attack dissipated without being able to break past it.

However, the seemingly flawless crimson pillars from earlier had a glaring crack indicating the damage done to them. Faren's whole body was also dripping with sweat.

To hold off that attack, he poured in more than half of his stored energy along with the energy absorbed by the pillars from the surroundings.

Perhaps, if he didn't pull out those crimson pillars to block it, there's no Faren anymore.

”You blocked it? Nice.” The tall figure said as if Faren blocking his attack hasn't affected him.

After a while, he continued his crazed laugh while watching the four continue backing away from him.

And amidst the tall figure's crazed laugh, two more figures appeared from the darkness behind him. The two stepped forward and stood at his sides. Like him, they're also taller than average. On his right is a woman with blonde hair and a lean build, the yellowish aura covering her body was a little weaker than him while the other is a tall man in black-rim glasses who stood at his left. He's calmly observing the surroundings or specifically, Faren and the place where he resisted the tall figure's energy attack.

At this moment, there are only three of them. However, the pressure coming off from them was more than what we experienced during that fight with the five Rank 2 Transcendents.

Moreover, these three… I can only guess earlier due to that yellowish aura but upon seeing the three of them and comparing them to those we encountered, it's possible that they're not a denizen of the Gigant World.

The force of that simple compression of energy on his finger was more than a full-powered punch or kick of a Gigant World Rank 2 Transcendent.

Observing them from where I am, calling them taller than average is not an exaggeration. On Earth, it will not be wrong to call the three of them giants. The one in the middle is nearing 4 meters and the other two are ranging between 3 and 3.5 meters.

Since the possibility has already passed my mind and I have already read it on one of the scrolls… If they're not a native, they're possibly a denizen of a higher world. Denizens of Gobos.

”What's wrong? Why are you retreating? He even blocked my attack, you know? Even now, you're still at an advantage. There are only three of us here.” The tall man who already had his hands in his pockets had a look of ridicule on his face. His eyes scanned among the four and when it reached Monady, his longer than normal tongue peeked out of his mouth and licked his lips as if he found a prey he couldn't wait to get his hands on.

”Sir Larnel, stop playing anymore. Finish what we came here for. You already got your hands on various women of that world.” The blonde woman said. Judging from the bit subservient and respectful tone she had, she seemed to be a subordinate or a close aid of the one in the middle she called Larnel.

Her words somehow proved my guess. Women of that world, huh? So is he just a lecherous young master from a higher world?

”Rowena, do you think I am playing? I am only asking them. Besides, the women there all tasted sour because of their filthy Pathway.”

”You still enjoyed them, nonetheless.”

”Women are women, if only you also offer yourself to me then I will be more than satisfied.”

”I'm not yours. Beat your brother and become the head of the company if you want to have me.” The blonde woman declared.

”That, I will do. You wait for it.”

I don't know their circumstances but from their conversation, it firmly confirmed my guess. They're denizens of a higher world but they're probably sent down to train or to do something else, who knows? And with a stroke of luck, they entered this Dimensional Space and entered a manor. Now, they're trapped in here with us.

Perhaps they are disinclined to move earlier but after the loss of that five, they now decided to make a move and finish all of us.
