1023 Variable 1 (1/2)

”You can't say? But you can be sure he's here, right?” Boss Ron laughed coldly, he had lived bluntly for several hundred years, and he did not survive by just messing around.

Bluntness had its advantages.

For example…

He abruptly raised his hand, and smashed it down.

With a rumble, a huge tremor scattered and spread from his hand into the ground.

The surface of the ground split apart, the grass and shrubs shattering into countless pieces and green or yellow liquids, the soil turned over, some of it covering the stones and grass left on the ground.

With Boss in the center, clouds of cold white frost spread from underneath his fist and into all directions, like extremely voracious white insects that were trying to escape from Boss' palm, crawling away everywhere.

”Resonance Skill! Great Frost Fist!!!”

Boss roared, and his palm exerted even more force into the ground. A halo of ice-blue light spread with him in the center, and it flowed like water, soundlessly and tracelessly.

But everything that the ice-blue halo covered soon became a terrifying sight, all frozen in ice like a statue.

The blue halo covered almost a hundred meters before it gradually slowed down.

”Ron Belle, you crazy mother*cker!” Second Brother Barlow nearly could not dodge in time, and was almost caught in the blast. Presently, he flew in the air, cursing as he looked down.

If he had not been fast enough, this fist would probably have hurt him as well.

”Didn't you say he's in this area? Why shouldn't I force him out?” Boss Ron grinned, looking very rough and wild.

Although black shadows concealed his face, his smile could still be vaguely seen.

”Can't you say something before you strike!!?” said Second Brother Barlow angrily.

”If I say something first, what if that guy hears it? It'll be useless then, right?” Boss chuckled. ”If even you didn't know I was going to strike, of course that guy wouldn't either.”

Suddenly, a black bee flew out from a corner at the side, darted in front of Second Brother, and stopped there.

”Eh?” Second Brother paused slightly, and looked at the black bee, as though he was exchanging information with the little thing.

As the information exchange went on, his gaze slowly fell on a corner at the bottom. There were faint traces of digging there.

”Could it be….?”

He frowned slightly.

”What's the matter? Did you find out anything?” Boss Ron flew up and floated not far beside him.

”Shh!” Barlow raised his hand and said impatiently. His gaze kept wandering at the bottom, as though he wanted to look straight through the thick crust, and peer into the depths of the earth.

All of a sudden, his gaze swiveled back in an instant, his eyes widening abruptly.

”It's here!! Do it!!”

With a sharp bark, Barlow put his hands together and pressed them onto the ground.

”Earth Blanket Mark!!”

A huge and transparent mark smashed mercilessly into the part of the ground that had been dug up.

”Snowstorm Palm!!” Boss followed up with a fierce hit without a shred of hesitation.

The clean and white palm imprint gathered, and landed immediately after the previous one.

Bam!!!

The floor of the forest that had been split apart and frozen was hit again by this tremendous attack, and all of the trees and plants that had already become ice statues immediately shattered into countless shards of ice, with a sound as though someone had smashed countless glasses at the same time.

In an instant, several hundred or even a thousand pieces of glass were shattered, creating a terrifyingly piercing sound.

The clear white, transparent shards of ice scattered everywhere, and the thousands of ice shards spread out in all directions like rain.

Looking down from mid-air, it looked as though a large chunk had been ripped out of the whole forest, as though a set of huge white jaws had taken a bit out of the center, leaving traces of white on the edges.

After it was hit by the huge imprint and the Snowstorm Palm, one after the other, the traces of digging on the ground were revealed to be even clearer.

”Found him!” Boss and Second Brother exchanged a glance, mercilessness flashing through both their eyes, as they flew towards the ground at the same time.

*****************

Pfft!

A huge tremor smashed into Garen, who was in the middle of gathering Sunlight, and caused him to spew out a mouthful of blood.

The inside of his body seemed to sway. Having just gathered nine hundred rays of sunlight, Garen's body was practically an actualized bomb storage, the slightest mistake could lead to a catastrophic explosion. This power had already surpassed the Half-Moon Level, and may even have reached Full-Moon Level. He did not know what was the grade above Half-Moon, he just knew that the Sunlight energy in his body had reached unprecedented levels.

Even his Soul Seed had been suppressed to an extent like never before, retreating slightly into the deepest depths of his mind.

The two Energy Machine Imprints behind Garen had materialized completely, supporting his Willpower at full strength to help the Scarlet Snow Technique in adjusting the transport and gathering of the Sunlight energy.

Yes, it was just adjusting, the Tenth Grade of the Scarlet Snow Technique could not even support the process. The fundamental difference in quality was too large, so all it could do was help with a tiny bit of the adjustments.

Boom!!

There was another tremor, reaching him underground.
