1029 Void Battlefield 1 (1/2)

Life was fragile, much like the Ron and Barrow who died right in front of him. The two senior energy machinists, who lived for centuries, died like an ant by his sword.

Garen had an indescribable feeling.

Ron and Barrow were the top experts in Planet Scarlet Snow who would soon break through the Inherited Level. Each of their life experiences could be made into a legendary, inspirational novel, yet they died so easily by his sword.

They were careless.

”Yes, because of a momentary negligence, it brought about such a serious consequence.” Garen pulled the sword that was pierced in between Barrow's eyebrows out and held the sword upside-down.

”Therefore, I need to be cautious at all times, to prevent others from doing the same to me...”

He took it as a warning in his mind.

”A lot of things might seem impossible, yet just like this, even an inconspicuous nobody might be able to take my life.”

He held the magical Sunlight sword in his hand.

The golden-blue flame on the blade was still burning continuously. These flames would not harm him, as the golden sunlight within his body balanced it out.

Garen kept the magic sword. Suddenly, he recalled that there was still another thing in his space ring, and he was slightly taken aback.

”The flames of the Sunlight are so strong, will it burn the other stuff out!?”

He quickly tried to retrieve the other stuff from his space ring.

Pap!

A black, charcoal-like item appeared in his hand.

The look on Garen's face changed. He retrieved another item, and a charcoal-like item appeared on his hands once again, followed by pieces of burnt items which was taken out continuously.

”Forget it!”

There was no helping it. He walked up to Barrow and searched his body.

He had a space ring, a pale, golden, rhombus-shaped crystal, as well as some less valuable personal belongings.

He threw away his other belongings, keeping only the space ring and the pale gold crystal.

Similarly, he went to search Ron's body. Ron had only one space necklace and a pair of levitating shoes which were still usable. The rest of his belongings were rubbish that was not worth mentioning.

After keeping all the goods, Garen took a look at his surroundings.

The golden-blue color had completely disappeared, and only the ignited fire was still burning.

The air was filled with surges of black smoke, caused by the exploded airships that fell to the ground which lighted up the woods.

The blazing heat wave almost scorched everything around it. Some of the places still had some crackling sound coming from the fire from time to time, accompanied with the helpless moans of the people who had not died yet.

”Xiao Qin… Xiao Qin...!” A woman's painful cry was faintly coming from somewhere.

He did not get a clear look at what happened to the survivor.

Garen remained silent and reached for a bomb.

With a sound, a transparent air bomb was thrown; it passed through the flames, and a crisp loud bang was heard. Then, the pleading moans stopped.

Garen gently sighed, turned around and quickly jumped into the air. He changed into the levitating shoes which made him light-footed and flew forward. In less than ten seconds, he was completely out of sight.

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

”What? They are dead?! Ron and Barrow are dead!?”

In the headquarters of Scarlet Snow, an old man was sitting beside a triangular, silver-white table with his eyes wide open, and the pipe in his hand trembled slightly.

Under the pale light blue glimmer lighting, three old men, with different demeanors, sat on each side of the table.

One of the old men had an extremely ghastly look on his face as he tightened his grip on the black crutch which he held with both of his hands. He emitted a horrifying aura around him. With his body as the center, the weather surrounding him for a radius of a meter would undergo a natural change, as snowflakes and dark clouds continued to gather and surrounded him. All those who were around him felt an odd sense of terror.

The old man who was holding a pipe looked at the old man with the crutch. He was the second great elder of Scarlet Snow as well as a revolutionist who had always been against the first and third great elder. Although he always wanted to convince the first and third great elders to agree on his suggestion, he did not wish to see the elite disciples of his sect to be killed that easily.

The second great elder took a puff from his pipe and exhaled a faint white ring of smoke.
