Chapter 450 - Turning Everything Upside Down(Part-1) (1/2)

Jethrar opened his eyes with great difficulty his entire body was aching badly, it felt as if he someone had crushed every bone of his body, 'Ugh what happened.'

~sizzle~ ~sizzle~

A painful sizzling sensation jolted him fully awake, 'Ah remember the explosion…'

He trailed off as he looked at the completely different sky, gone were the blue sky it was now covered by blood-red cloud, black lightning rained down from it, and the rain was highly acidic to the point that it even managed to harm them.

He quickly tired to stand up but he failed rather spectacularly, 'Huh why can I not stand, in fact, why can I not feel my legs.'

He somehow with great difficulty managed to sit, and then he was greeted with even more grisly sight, parts of his body below his waist were missing.

”Ahhhhh!!!!”, he could not help but scream out in fear and pain.

”Lord Jethrar, are alright?”

A voice came from one his retainers and he could not help but lash out towards the person, ”Shut up trash! Can you not see how injured I am, hurry up and help.”

The person fearfully nodded while he himself was not wholly uninjured but his current priority was his Lord's health.

He quickly fed Jethrar some pills before looking at the lower part of his body before grimacing, 'Lord Jethrar's legs from just below his waist has been cut off, and then it looks like that someone had used fire to seal the wounds, it looks so bad.'

”Hurry up trash, carry me away from here.”

”Yes my Lord.”, as he was about to leave with Jethrar on his back he suddenly stopped upon seeing a familiar figure lying half-buried on the ground he hesitated.

”What are you doing? Move you, idiot.”

”But my Lord, Lady Ithrura is ..”

”I do not care about that wench, you are my retainer and you will look after my interest, now move trash.”

”Yes My Lord.”

With that person left hurriedly but not before discreetly sending a medicinal pill towards Ithrura's mouth, as he left.

A roar of came to his ears, a roar that made his heart tremble with fear a roar that made Jethrar completely restless, and as such, they sped off leaving behind the rest of the dead and injured behind.

An hour ago, Ryuu staring into the horizon looking especially towards the gate where the explosion took place, his face morphed into a confused one, 'The arrays at the second gate are working perfectly fine, and according to them, there has been no intrusion, but even after the explosion sometime has passed yet their army has yet to appear, how long will I have to wait, it has been ages since that explosion took place, damn it the suspicion is killing me I simply have to scout them then.'

With that plan in mind, he turned towards True-Spear as she spoke with seriousness in his voice, ”Brother True-Spear, catch this.”

With that, he threw a talisman towards True-Spear, which he promptly caught, as Ryuu kept on shouting, ”I have a bad feeling about this, it has been ages, yet they have yet to arrive I am going to scout and see if I can find something, do not follow me though I will definitely contact if something happens.”

With his piece being said he left promptly before anyone could say anything to stop him, and with his speed, he was soon out of sight of most.

True-Spear growled as he spoke, ”Damn that idiot, it has only been half an hour at best and he ran off like that.”

Even Shivering Saber who was nearby scowled as he glared towards the direction Ryuu had run off, ”That impatient idiot, it is only half an hour does not know the importance of patience, how did he cultivate to such a level is beyond my understanding.”

Ryuu moved fast, as fast as he could towards the gate, when he arrived at the location of destruction he stopped to admire it for a moment.

'Damn that was a nice explosion the ground is has melted off completely, what did those people use in the first place, the air is ripe with KI, though it is a chaotic mess after it settles down in a few years it would be the great material spot to harvest, but sadly it is not possible for us, we do not have that time.'

'I should do a quick check before proceeding further, and maybe I would be able to discern what might have caused the explosion and I could plan accordingly.'

A quick check of the vicinity later, Ryuu stood floating in the air with his brow scrunched in deep thought, 'They used brute method to break the array, my array had held on well till it was overcharged and had collapsed making the entire area unstable then something had entered this place that destabilized the region and triggered the explosion, but why and what did they use.'

Ryuu shook his head as he looked towards the gate that was tilted somewhat emerged partly into the pool of molten surface.

���Well no gain without any risk, but first let me become invisible.'

Ryuu stepped through the gate and gawked at the scene in front of him, 'What is this?'

Gone were the luscious green meadows, the entire region as far as the eyes could see was a scene he would like to describe as hell.

'Is this what hell looks like? Well, it certainly does according to the Bible from my previous life.'

The ground looks completely scorched and in some places it was molten, and the sky was red as blood with black lightning raining striking the ground now and then, not to mention the acidic rain.'

His eyes then fell on a half meted gigantic cannon like structure lay broken a few distances away, his eyes searched the surrounding as he soon found the dead and almost dead bodies of the Preta Realm cultivators, making his breath hitch.

'What did they do that caused such a thing, and how, maybe I should check that destroyed cannon part but before…', a sadistic smile blossomed on his face as he looked at the deplorable state of the Preta realm cultivators an idea formed in his head, 'I should poke around for a moment before calling reinforcement, we should wipe them out as fast as possible.'

Meanwhile back at their fort True-Spear cowered under Frost Flames glare, ”Brother you disappoint me, you let RYUU GO ALONE.”

True-Spear mustered as much dignity as he could he spoke out hurriedly, ”But, he said not to follow him and he is so fast.”

”That is no excuse.”

With that shout Mount Frost Flames erupted but before the lava could drown him the talisman vibrated which True-Spear quickly activated and Ryuu's voice came loud and clear for everyone to hear.

”Gather your weapons, and descend to the Eleventh Level, today we are wiping out those sc.u.m, I repeat every cultivator gather your weapons, and descend to the Eleventh Level we are wiping out those sc.u.m.”
