234 Power 2 (1/2)
Chapter 234: Power 2
”What is this flame…” Stunned, Garen watched as a boulder was melted quicker than he could count to ten. It crawled, joining the other dark-red liquid that almost flooded the uneven ground. It looked like a red marsh that releases heat.
The heat reminded Garen the lava at the volcano back at Smoke Island.
”The flame is definitely close to a thousand degrees*…” Garen dared not get close. He stared at the ground in the area of the explosion, feeling kind of creeped out.
”If any common Luminarists have this power of this level…” He cringed at the thought. The power, the destruction, it was too horrifying!
”This isn’t a Grade D… This kamikaze attack is at least a Grade B!”
Garen immediately thought of the father of his current host body, Viscount Vanderman, and if he also had that explosive force.
In the beginning, the two was just fighting with mild strength, nothing too dramatic, but it’s actually because they’ve been keeping their full strength in. In that explosion, every inch of their strength must have bursted out, melting even boulders within thirty meter radius area. This is comparable to an explosion of a tiny volcano!
By association, Viscount Vanderman’s future enemy, Beckstone, as well as the elite members of the Obscuro Society, these are the elites of the elites within the Luminarist circle, outpowering the two significantly.
”If all common Luminarists were at this standard, then Luminarists as a group is terrifying…”
Garen felt as if his blood had been steadily rising in temperature, his exposed skin on his face and hands were hot from the heat.
Even though he had finished his inspection of the power of Luminarists, he did not feel any relief when he thought about the two major enemies he’ll have to face.
He honestly felt even at his peak and mastery over Divine Statue Technique, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the destructive power of the explosion and the heat he witnessed, and this was just the power of two ordinary Luminarists.
Now that Viscount Vanderman had killed Beckstone’s first love, as well as was involved in some infighting at the Obscuro Society, if it wasn’t because of his support for the royals, he would’ve been offed a while ago.
The seed of vengeance had already been sowed.
Flames devoured the trees nearby, lighting up the crowns of the woods. The fiery glow dominated the color palette in the immediate surrounding.
Crackles from wood burning kept coming from the site. The breeze carried the spark into the air and further away.
Black smoke rose to the sky, calling attention to this side of the woods. The smell of the charred woods repelled Garen from his spot, forcing him further from the explosion site.
He looked at the center of the explosion again. No movements. The two Luminarists were nowhere to be found.
If someone told him before that humans can survive that explosion, he might not have believed it, but now, he’s not sure. After witnessing the strength of the Luminarists, he wouldn’t be surprised by things that challenged his knowledge.
He heard the patrol coming from afar, chose a direction, and sneaked away from the burning ground.
On his way back to the manor, his heart felt heavy.
Luminarists’ power exceeded his expectation. The fight in the beginning looked just like the ones in the memory, mild, not very exciting. If it wasn’t for the final explosions, Garen wouldn’t have felt the energy within the totem beasts.
Everything within thirty meters radius area became a sea of fire, even boulders turned into lava by these two normal Luminarists.
Hoof…
Garen let out a long sigh.
When he thought about facing Beckstone and Obscuro Society in the future, he felt slightly depressed.
”Looks like I need deeper information about Luminarists as soon as possible…” He thought of the dates he saw in the memory, ”I have two years until Beckstone’s arrival, I hope there’s enough time…”
Whether he like it or not, since he transmigrated into Acacia’s body, he would need to face this danger as him.
Luo Jing wasn’t sure if he would transmigrate again once he died in this body. The Luminarists were no joke in this world, they’re far stronger than the Martial Arts World. If someone could interfere with souls…
Witnessing the strength of Luminarists, Luo Jing started to doubt his own.
With his strength, even if the Divine Statue Technique has fully recovered, there’s no way he could withstand a high heat of a thousand degrees, let alone the stronger enemies after this.
Boom!
Once again, an explosion came from behind.
Garen turned around to look. The flames were getting smaller, the smoke thinner.
From his side, a team of guards in white uniform hurried over to his side.
”Young master! Are you okay? Young master!”
The lead guard was a man with trimmed beard, he asked as he arrived in front of Garen. His face was pale.
”We were late to come here. Why did you loiter around here? It’s so dangerous! It’d be bad if you got hurt in the explosion!” The lead guard pointed at two other guards behind him, ”Luckily they reported back to us in time, or else this would’ve been a tragedy!”
