Chapter 886 The Liquids Power (1/2)
It was becoming obvious that the Misty Emperor was entertaining the idea of retreating. And yet, something seemed to be holding him back.
He thought of Darren, gritting his teeth as he debated between letting him go or pushing on.
In the end, however, the Misty Emperor decided to follow the aura to get close to Darren.
Meanwhile, Darren was finally coming down from his powerful state. It was at this time that he realized just how strong the effects of the light red liquid was. It was so powerful that just a drop of it would be enough.
'It can boost my power and realm in an instant, but it burns up real fast.' He made a mental note to himself.
It was a good thing that Darren was able to gather twelve drops of the liquid. Now that he had used one, he still had eleven. Surely, this precious liquid would be enough to get him through many crises.
”Such a pity that I had to use a drop already,” he sighed. ”But I wonder...would I be able to defeat the Misty Emperor if I use just one drop of this?”
A plan began formulating itself inside his head. The memory of how such power surged through his body after taking that one drop was enough to push him to do something unthinkably risky.
Finally, he had decided. The Misty Emperor was chasing him, while he, on the other hand, wanted to fight him now.
By taking one drop of the liquid, he saw two outcomes in his confrontation with the Misty Emperor. Either he could win against the latter, or he could lose, but he would be able to escape the Misty Emperor.
Determined now more than ever, he flew back.
Back to the Misty Emperor, the emperor seemed surprised.
”What?”
With his Spirit Power covering the entire hundred feet around him, he could sense Darren's location.
”Ha-ha, I've finally found this guy.”
Excitement welled up inside him upon the prospect of seeing the human once again.
He had been feeling cooped up inside the forbidden domain. Any longer and he feared he might provoke the thing.
Not wanting to wait a second longer, he met with Darren halfway through.
In a blink of an eye, he now stood behind the latter. With his raised hand, he delivered a forceful slap on the human's back.
Unfortunately for Darren, his spiritual sense was suppressed so he didn't sense the incoming attack.
