LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 540: Dead!?
Her body turned into particles of light, appearing near the edge of the opening, blocked only by a wall of red fog.
She tried to enter it again, but this time, the red fog felt like a wall blocking her path.
She tried to destroy it, but it only created more space.
Her heart beat faster, and her adrenaline rushed.
"Luminere!"
The wisp of light flew toward Emily.
The hexagon crystals moved around, attaching themselves to Emily's body, creating crystalline armor.
She then raised her hand, bracing for the attack.
There was a reason for this. She could tell the creature inside the crater was still alive and strong.
Just as she expected, from inside the crater, a projectile shot out into the sky.
It then exploded into a rain.
SHHH!!!
Emily could see the immortal corpses begin melting the moment they made contact with the liquid.
'Acid? Poison? Dammit! What should I do now?'
Emily took out a bottle of mana potion and then forcefully gulped it down.
Even now, she continuously used it as she created a sphere of light barrier, protecting herself from the rain.
She clenched her hand, and particles of light gathered.
It then turned solid into a sharp weapon.
It was like a glove but with a sharp blade coming out from it.
Emily called this weapon *Light Katar*.
A silhouette came out from the crater. In an instant, he already appeared in front of Emily.
CLANG!!!
His katana clashed with Emily's katar.
Seeing the man, Emily's eyes widened with shock.
He looked unscathed.
But she didn't believe all her attacks didn't cause any damage.
It was clear her enemy's clothes had been torn apart.
This could only mean one thing.
Her enemy had a high ability to regenerate.
"Kekeke!!!
You are interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have time to play around with you."
The man said with a grin.
Silvery scales appeared on his hand. His strength suddenly shot up, rising to a completely new realm.
SLASH! The katana sliced through.
Emily's world view turned into half.
She could have turned her body into light, but this attack just caught her by surprise.
Her body was cut in two and then fell to the ground.
Crimson blood splattered everywhere.
The Silver Snake Emperor then cut down his palm, splattering his blood all over Emily's body.
His blood contained potent poison.
The moment it made contact, Emily's flesh started to melt.
He then walked past her toward the red fog.
A distance away, Alex, who was busy experimenting, suddenly frowned.
His location was in the core region, far away from where Emily was.
But he could feel something was happening.
'Did something happen!?
There should be no one who can pose a risk in the outer region.'
Even though his friends and family had different levels of cultivation, Alex had given each of them a Rune.
It enhanced their strength and also made them almost immortal as long as they had lifeforce.
But he could not shake this bad feeling.
"Vesa, come out and check what happened in the outer region."
Vesa materialized and then gave a bow.
"Alright, king. Any other instruction?"
"Do it ASAP. If you feel anything wrong, prioritize helping first."
Vesa was strong.
Even now, Alex didn't know how strong she was.
So Alex believed having her take care of it if something really happened was better than wasting more time returning to him.
Meanwhile, back at the Silver Snake Emperor,
His arms were touching the red fog, while his mind was busy thinking of a way to get out.
But suddenly, a sword pierced through his heart.
The Snake Emperor didn't even flinch; it was as if he had not been stabbed at all.
He raised his elbow, spinning to counterattack.
But it hit nothing.
When he looked backward, the Snake Emperor could only see a flicker of light.
Emily was nowhere to be seen, nor was her body.
He frowned as he didn't feel any presence, but he knew something was there.
He took out the sword from his chest; now that he saw it clearly, it was made from the earth.
He clenched his fist, turning it into dust.
"Who!? Come out!"
The ground underneath him started to move; it turned into a hand that grasped his foot.
The Silver Snake Emperor spread his qi.
He kicked the ground, floating toward the sky.
But the hand didn't let go; it became longer, trying to grasp his foot again.
Then he suddenly raised his hand upward.
SLASH!!!!!!
He tried to block the attack, but it somehow pierced through his defense.
Luca was there, fuming in anger.
Her eyes glinted coldly, filled with killing intent.
She then tilted her head; the next second, the Silver Snake Emperor's hand pierced that location.
His chopped hand had already begun to heal.
But Luca had already made her move. She swung her katana toward his head, but in the next second, it changed angle, cutting the air onto his head.
She then made a maneuver, creating distance between them.
Luca could see that if she really stabbed his neck…
What happened next would be her own demise.
'Tch, this won't be easy.'
The ground beside her started to rise up.
It reached her height and then cracked open, revealing a beautiful woman with green hair.
"Let's leave first, Aunt. We cannot beat him.
He hides a lot of his power."
"There is no way I'll let him off easy after what he's done to my daughter."
Luca raised her sword, pointing it forward.
The Silver Snake Emperor smiled coldly.
"It's funny to think you all came in front of me without me doing anything.
Kane…
Give me him, and then I will stay away from you all."
Hearing this, Sarah's eyes glinted with coldness.
"Why are you looking for my father?"
"Oooh… you're her daughter. This will make things even easier."
Swoosh!!!
The Silver Snake Emperor appeared inches away from her face.
Clang!
He moved his hand toward Sarah's throat, but Luca blocked it.
She then pushed Sarah away.
Sarah let herself fall into the ground, her body then disappearing, mixing with it.
