Chapter 189 – Condensing A Gold Core (1/2)
Chapter 189 - Condensing A Gold Core (Unedited)
Like a scene from the movies, it should have been a life or death fight for them. But with the emergence of Romon, it somehow ended like this. It was too unbelievable especially when it came to their strength; Lei Yu had become humbled after witnessing their God-like strength.
The surrounding hundred square meters had become a bottomless abyss. The place Lei Yu and others were standing at looked like the last pillar that hadn’t collapsed which happened to be supporting the castle manor.
“Benefactor, the danger has passed so you can be rest assured!” Romon leapt from the air and landed in front of the crowd.
“Lord… Lord Romon...” Lei Yu blinked a few times before asking in disbelief: “The benefactor you’re referring to… is me right?”
“Who else could it be? If it weren’t for me attempting to make a breakthrough this last period of time, I would have met up with you a long time ago.” Romon said with a smile.
The Pope swallowed hard before saying: “Lord Romon, the huge kindness you’ve…”
“That’s enough! There’s no need to say those useless words since the Vatican is insignificant when compared to the benefactor. The most I would have done for the Vatican is to give some minor assistance. If it wasn’t for Kalchas that old devil making me protect the Vatican, I wouldn’t even bother with you guys!”
“Uh…” The Pope suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. As if a fly had been stuck in his throat, he didn’t know what to say for a brief period of time.
All this time, the Vatican likened Romon to their savior, a position that no one else was able to surpass. Back then, Romon had been extremely respectful to Prophet Kalchas so no one expected today he would call Kalchas an old devil.
What was even more difficult for the Pope to accept was back then, he blew his trumpet in front of Lei Yu about how powerful Lord Romon was and how he would show up when the Vatican was in a crisis. And he had always treated Lei Yu as someone on the same level as himself, so never would he have imagined that the Romon he respected the most actually addressed Lei Yu as a benefactor. The Pope simply couldn’t make heads or tails out of this situation.
The death of Primus Hogue was a sign of the Dark Council’s complete destruction. No one had ever expected this outcome to come about with such simplicity. But the cost of this was a bit too much, the casualties of the innocents were too numerous to count. And now that the town had disappeared without a trace, replacing it was cliffs and an abyss.
Romon’s approach had a deeper significance, a so called ulterior motive. In fact, his main purpose was not to instantly kill Primus Hogue but to clear out remnants of the Dark Council within the town. Even the earlier loud and arrogant Prince Bel’s body was scattered amongst god knows what pile of debris.
“Benefactor, can we speak alone?” Romon stabbed his copper staff off to the side. A “bam!” sound made Ai Er unconsciously hide behind Lei Yu.
“With… with me? Okay, no problem!” Lei Yu would never refuse getting close to this super strong expert since he knew Romon didn’t have any harmful intentions towards him.
Everyone entered the lonely looking castle that looked like it was floating in the void. While they all congregated around the first main hall, Lei Yu and Romon both went to the second floor. Even the Pope didn’t dare to ask any questions on what those two were doing. A Red Cardinal to the side whispered: “Your holiness, is this Lord Romon for real or a fraud?”
“You’re courting death!” The Pope angrily rebutted. “Being able to defeat Primus Hogue who was a supreme expert at the Blood Emperor rank, how could he be a fraud? You’re simply spouting nonsense!”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
