Chapter 140 - The Second Princes Army Attacks (2/2)

The land quake intensely as the two armies collided. Blood splashed on the ground painting it crimson red.

The sounds of blades ferociously clashing against each other can be heard.

The crown prince who joined the charge put on a savage look as he slashed his sword towards an approaching enemy soldier.

Although he was not as talented as Titus, he was still someone who was at the peak of the Saint-Class level. Aside from that, he underwent the daily swordsmanship training after becoming the crown prince.

The long sword in his hands was also one of the empire's Saint weapons, Lion's Fury.

A savage lion head was engraved on its hilt. Its mouth was wide open, and its long and sharp teeth can be seen with a ferocious glint.

The crown prince activated his elemental essence to protect his body while brandishing his sword on the enemies.

His valiance ignited the empire's soldiers' fighting spirit.

Suddenly, the crown prince felt an ominous feeling. He saw a shadow swiftly coming towards him.

The shadow seemed unstoppable as he slowly killed the elite soldiers protecting the crown prince.

”Protect his highness with your lives! Don't let that bastard come near him!” The general who had followed the crown prince earlier was already beside him.

He sternly peered towards the direction of the shadow who was charging recklessly at them.

He was obviously aiming for the crown prince!

He saw that the elite soldiers were being killed like defenseless ants. As a general, how could he allow such a man to wantonly kill their empire's soldiers?! Absolutely not!

”Surround his highness, don't let anyone touch a single strand of his hair!” The general ordered sternly as he charged towards the incoming shadow.

He must kill that man before he kills more of their soldiers!

The crown prince was also shaken at the sudden appearance of the man.

”An Immortal-Class level fighter?!” He felt a slight breeze in his balls after sensing the man's aura.

The man who was after his life was actually someone at the Immortal realm!

Inside the Cave of Endless Grievance, hundreds of soldiers wearing silver and gold armor retreated outside the cave. Their expressions were painted with anxiousness as they ran at their top speed.

They were finally able to get the Holy Nourishing Crystal! All that was left was for them to deliver it to the emperor.

The soldiers' hearts beat wildly in excitement at the thought of their emperor's recovery.

Once their peerlessly strong emperor recovers his health and strength, all those top sects and powers would definitely cower in fear under his might!

They had consumed a lot of their origin essence, but their speed was still shocking.

”Don't stop running, the mouth of the cave is close by! Just persevere for a moment! And when the time that we are home, we will celebrate our victorious return!” General Lexus shouted from behind them as he slew multiple Heavenly Winged Guardians at every slash of his sword.

The two deputies were already riddled with wounds, but their expression did not contain any hints of pain as they continued to fight fiercely against the humanoid beasts.

Seira was still bathed in pale yellow flames as she conjured multiple balls of fire before hurling it towards the beasts. She was breathing heavily, an obvious sign of exhaustion.

Ciprus who had recovered a bit of his elemental essence swung his mace wildly while disregarding the beasts who were attacking him. He did not even frown after being scratched by their stone weapons.

Cale looked to be absent-minded since his focus was completely on the prompts that appeared in front of him.

- Ding!

- Mission Success!

- Loading rewards, please wait!

- You received x5 Superior Elemental Essence Bundle.

Asteria's cold and emotionless voice resounded inside his head as the prompts appeared in front of him.

Cale took out the five Elemental Essence Bundle from his storage space. He did not even bother admiring its beauty before he instantly stuffed all of it in his mouth.

He then swallowed the soft ball-like objects without even chewing it.

A contented smile can be seen on his lips after swallowing it.

”This truly tastes the best!” He smacked his lips with his tongue while casually slashing an incoming Heavenly Winged Guardian.

He felt his elemental essence thickening inside his body. The energy from the Elemental Essence Bundle that he had consumed slowly increased his strength.

His weary eyes suddenly regained their liveliness.
