Chapter 2195 - Jade Drum (1/2)
Night River King wanted to kill Han Sen. He even used his crescent blade, but try as he might, he couldn’t lay so much as a finger on Han Sen. When Han Sen left the planet unharmed, Night River’s failure made him a laughingstock to all the Nobles inside Narrow Moon.
Although ordinary Nobles wouldn’t mock Night River King to his face, they were more than happy to discuss it while his back was turned. They were all surprised that Han Sen’s shield was so powerful, and that Night River King had performed so poorly.
A while ago, Han Sen handed out his spare Bai Semas to Zero, Little Angel, and Han Meng’er. He kept the gold one for himself.
Han Sen did this because he wanted them to guard the base. If King class elites ever attacked the base, his companions could use the tri-color Bai Sema to protect it. By combining the three shields of different colors, the defensive properties could then protect the entire base from an assault. King class elites wouldn’t be able to punch through that easily.
If Night River King decided to go all the way, Han Sen had to ensure that his base was protected. He couldn’t afford to be ambushed unprepared.
And as for Han Yan, Han Sen had contacted Sky Palace in the hopes he could secure a place for her there. When they accepted her, he’d give her the gold Bai Sema so that her own safety was assured.
“It would be great if I was able to obtain a few more Bai Sema beast souls.” Han Sen already had four, but he was of the mind that it wasn’t enough. He imagined finding and killing a few more of those Demon Bug Kings.
At this stage, Han Sen didn’t need to be afraid of anything. He went to Cold Palace to absorb moon and cold powers on every first and every fifteenth day of the month. Every single time, he also blocked all the moonlight that might otherwise fall on Night River King. He received nothing.
Night River King had finally gotten the guardian position, but all he could ever do was sit around and watch Han Sen get all the goodies he had wanted for himself. The refreshing breeze was all he could enjoy. He hated Han Sen to the depths of his soul, but he now knew there was nothing he could do to him.
He looked for another elite who might be willing to stop Han Sen from visiting Planet Blade, but even the other Kings that were friends with him—like Shadow King—did not agree with him.
The Narrow Moon assembly had cooperated against Han Sen when Yisha died because they wished to share Yisha’s legacy items. Even the Nobles that followed Yisha did not want to give Han Sen all her things. He was an outsider, and they all wanted some of her stuff for themselves. That’s why no one had objected when Han Sen was given almost nothing.
Now, things were different. The items were distributed and Night River King had become the guardian, so there was no longer a reason for anyone to help him take Han Sen out.
Yisha had only just died, and they had already stolen what Han Sen deserved. What would people think of them if they went after Han Sen again?
Plus, Han Sen had that powerful Bai Sema. He’d be very difficult to take down, and there was no guarantee they could. Night River King had already tried to overcome the shield, and it had only led to a soured reputation. The other Kings did not want to do something that wouldn’t benefit them. It was none of their business.
Night River King couldn’t stop Han Sen alone. So, two nights a month, Night River King was forced to watch as Han Sen absorbed that moonlight. He hated the fact that Han Sen had weaseled permission to access the planet out of him.
But now, it was too late. Han Sen never missed a day. And eventually, Night River King lost all interest in going to Planet Blade.
Han Sen kept practicing with his cold and moon powers, hoping to become a Duke soon. And then, he’d be able to absorb Duke genes.
Night River King wasn’t crazy enough to go to Planet Eclipse, although he wanted to very much. Part of him wanted to go and crush the planet in every way. But even causing an issue with the delivery of supplies didn’t seem likely.
There weren’t many people in the base, and on top of that, there were many resources around. So they wouldn’t run out of food anytime soon. And in regards to everything else, they were well-supplied there as well.
