Chapter 190 – The White Crystal (Unedited) (2/2)

The two returned to the first floor hall. After seeing how respectful Romon was looking at Lei Yu, the Pope’s mouth naturally opened as he gaped at them. Regarding Romon’s prior demonstration of power, the Pope’s heart had already thrown itself at Romon’s feet and prostrated itself in admiration. What the Pope didn’t expect was that Lei Yu, who he had always tried to draw to his side turned out to be Lord Romon’s benefactor. As for how this benefactor business come about, maybe he’ll never get to know the truth.

“Wanna get out of here? If we don’t leave soon, I’m afraid a gust of wind might blow this place off the cliff soon.” Lei Yu joked.

It’s unsure how the Pope mastered such an ability but he floated to the opposite side of the cliff. As for Lei Yu and others, they stood on top of Romon’s huge pillar while Romon flew them across. Lei Yu actually had a great time with this process because it felt more stimulating than skydiving. He was determined to ask Romon later on how to grasp this flying ability.

As they were flying across, Lei Yu was surprised to feel that something was inside the abyss. It was a very unique powerful energy that didn’t belong to the destructive type, nor was it created by someone. Lei Yu turned around to tell them what was going on and leapt off the cliff. Romon was afraid of an accident occurring so he followed right after.

The death of Primus Hogue was without a doubt, so there’s no way he was still alive. One of the things Vampires feared was having something penetrate the top of their skull.³ And when Romon’s staff slammed down, it shattered his skull so he was deader than a doornail.

This powerful energy was coming from the area where Primus Hogue’s body had landed. Lei Yu was using one hand along the side of the cliff to slow down his descent before he landed at the bottom.

“Yes! It’s coming from around here!” Lei Yu arrived at the mouth of a deep hole and discovered the flashing of a faint white light. Lei Yu looked inside and realized with his eyesight, he couldn’t see what it was.

“Let me do it!” Romon grinned before suddenly slamming his copper staff into the ground. The ground shook and sent the body of Primus Hogue bouncing out of the hole.

Lei Yu blinked a few times, “You are really too strong…”

Very quickly, the two found what was making the flashing light. It was a bead that was hanging against the chest of Primus Hogue. The bead was very similar to the Spiritual Bead of Longevity from before, but it wasn’t the same thing because this was a white crystal. As for what its uses were, they had no clue.

Lei Yu simply yanked the bead off. “Do you care if I take this?” Lei Yu asked while waving the crystal.

“Why would I care? I don’t even know what this thing does.”

Lei Yu’s eyebrow jumped before he stored the bead inside his storage ring. The two once again rose into the air and returned to where the crowd was waiting.

Two days later, Lei Yu brought Black Panther and everyone else to Dr. Tony’s base. They found inside some experimental data on many viruses and bacterium, including some data code they couldn’t read. Since the things they found at the Yamaguchi-gumi’s headquarters were so useful already, then this old devil Dr. Tony’s things should not be too bad either. Lei Yu collected everything!

---------------------------

¹ - Inedia is a belief that a person can live without eating food, so that means Lei Yu doesn’t really have to eat now to stay alive?

² - Mahayana is a Buddhist practice and the author uses this as to say this Immortal has achieved the highest ascension possible.

³ - In this world of the author, Vampires appear not to be afraid of stakes through the heart but stakes through the head?

【Author’s comment: I would like to make a statement so don’t get pissed. Ai Er hasn’t made a lot of appearances but her focus will be highlighted in the Immortal World. I have already thought of the story’s outline and it should be good. Ai Er is a very important character, so important that Lei Yu’s fate might turn to a different path. Please be patient and additionally, Lei Yu hears about Telephassa but can they really meet again? That’s a secret for now.]
