Chapter 2398: Flexing Is a Bad Habit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The pitch black cannon was giving off a golden glow.
Irina felt a crisis like never before. She felt as though someone had locked in on her and she was unable to escape.
“Irina, Help Sally look over our forest! Also, you must protect the holy infant. It is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Life.” The Queen’s voice sounded in Irina’s ears. The next moment, a golden glow from a spell formation lit up beneath her feet.
“Royal Mother!” Irina was shocked. However, with a flash of golden light, she was already teleported to a spell formation miles away.
“This time, let us protect our forest and people.” The Queen looked at Helena and smiled.
!!
“Alright, I’ll do it with you.” Helena held her hand, just like how they made their promise on the battlefield 800 years ago.
The two looked at that monster and raised the crystal ball and magic caster’s staff in their hands.
“To death with you!”
The monster howled ferociously.
The cannon spat out countless flaming tongues which evolved into fireballs, raining over from different directions.
Helena and the Queen, who were at the frontline, had to brace for the impact of the fire.
“Back then, I thrashed the demons here. How dare an ugly monster like you create trouble here! How noisy!” the Queen said coldly.
A black hole suddenly appeared in front of tens of fireballs flying toward them. Before the fireballs exploded, they were engulfed by the black hole.
The other fireballs landed on a golden shield, causing it to tremble violently. Its glow dimmed significantly and the ground was charred.
The Queen struck her magic caster’s staff forcefully onto the ground. Immediately, the magic caster’s staff was enveloped by a green glow. Roots started growing out from its bottom and branches started reaching out from its top.
Bam!
Underground, countless vines started growing out, forming an enormous net closing in on the monsters rapidly.
“Tricks!”
The monster waved its five arms and snapped the vines twirling towards it. However, there were too many vines stretching out from beneath, and all over that it was covered in vines like a mummy.
“Burn, useless vines.”
The monster growled deeply and the vines on it started burning, reducing to ashes in no time at all.
However, just as it was about to regain sight, a red crystal ball appeared within a meter of it.
“This is?” The monster opened its mouth.
The crystal ball suddenly sped up and shot into its mouth.
“Star core, explode!” Helena shouted.
Boom!
A thunderous roar sounded. The right side of the monster’s head exploded and bits of metal burst out into the air. The monster also flew hundreds of meters out and smashed into a spell formation, causing two of its spider legs to become twisted.
“Darn woman, this is the end of you!” The monster howled and disappeared.
“Be careful!”
The Queen activated the teleportation portal in an attempt to teleport Helena away.
However, in an instant, the monster appeared in front of her. It lifted one of its spider legs, slashing it down like the God of Death’s chainsaw.
“Surprised you, didn’t I? I’m killing you first!” The face of the monster’s last head was writhing as it let out a burst of evil laughter. It could almost see this noble woman’s head being chopped down by it.
The head of the Elf Queen would make a very good collection. It should be able to fetch a pretty good price in the black market, right? That would make up for its injuries.
“Your Majesty!”
Helena, who was already in a defensive stance, saw this scene and her expression changed immediately. However, she was already at her limit after casting the starry sky spell continuously and could no longer render any help.
“Royal Mother!” Irina cried out. The magic caster’s staff in her hand lit up but it was probably too late.
“Her Majesty the Queen!”
The elves watched on in shock and horror. The Queen had been pushed to her limits in this battle but she still could not defeat the monster. Right now… would she even have to be killed by it?
“Will that beautiful Elf Queen die?” Amy asked softly.
“No, she’ll definitely make it in time.” Shirley clenched her fist tightly. She was nervous but was somehow confident.
Just then, a shadow slit across the space, slicing past just as that limb was about to reach the Queen.
Ding!
The sharp limb was chopped off and the severed limb fell right in front of the Queen.
Only then did everyone hear the sharp sound of the space being slit open which left a white mark on the space for a very long time.
“Hm?!”
The monster was stunned and was in disbelief as it watched its limb get severed.
The Queen was stunned as well. However, a glow lit up beneath her feet.
Helena finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Only then, did everyone see clearly, a black longsword suspended in the air.
“Tian Du sword!”
“Alex is here!”
Someone exclaimed in surprise and joy.
“Hey, Old lady, leave this to me. You guys can take a rest.”
A man appeared outside of the shield suddenly as he commented lazily.
“Who are you calling an old lady?!” Helena was infuriated.
“If you’re the one it wanted to kill just now, I would have waited for it to be done killing. What a pity, what a pity.” Mag stepped into the spell formation and strolled around.
That was the truth. Mag could have acted even earlier.
However, it actually felt pretty good to see Helena and his mother-in-law getting thrashed?
Back then, when he was down and out, these two played a very big part to cause it. At least, they were active participants.
He just could not bring himself to watch Irina’s mother get killed.
“Rascal, you’re very arrogant!” The monster had set its eyes on Mag. However, it was more cautious than before.
“You’re the arrogant one for talking to me in this tone with your current situation” Mag looked up at the monster towering hundreds of meters above him and shook his head. “I don’t like to look up to people when I talk. Why don’t you come down?”
The moment he finished his sentence, the Tian Du sword, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly increased speed and transformed into a silhouette as it slashed downwards at the monster.
The monster reacted pretty quickly. It held the black metal rod horizontally upwards in an attempt to block the sharp sword.
However, the three-meter-long rod was useless in stopping the Tian Du sword.
The metal rod was sliced into two and the longsword continued slashing down.
The monster was stunned. It swung its three remaining limbs around, in an attempt to catch the sword mid-way.
“Ding!”
The sword landed on its three limbs. The monster did manage to catch the sword but its horrifying force bent its three remaining limbs instantly, causing it to lose balance and fall forward.
Boom!
With a loud thud, dust rose into the air.
The arrogant monster standing hundreds of meters tall was laying humiliatingly in front of Mag at the moment.
“Look, that feels much better.” Mag nodded with satisfaction. He reached his hand out and the Tian Du sword appeared there.
Everyone’s jaw dropped as they watched.
The monster who breezed through the joint fight between the High Priestess, the Queen, Irina, and the 10th-tier powerhouses of the Elf race, was brought down to the ground by Alex in one blow. What kind of horrifying power was that?!
Word had been spreading around the Norland Continent that Alex might have transcended into the legendary god’s realm to become the one and only god in the Norland Continent.
However, no one knew exactly how powerful a god was.
Previously, they felt despondence from the monster, and right now, Alex made them feel the incomparable distance between the two.
“How can this fellow become so powerful…” Helena could not hide her shock. Although their joint attack had already dealt the monster with a very heavy blow, Mag’s casual slash was not even a fraction of his full power.
“Is this the god’s realm?” The Queen looked at Mag with mixed feelings.
“This fellow still can’t change his bad habit.” Irina put her hand to her forehead. Why could she not feel even the slightest hint of pride?
“The monster’s defeated! How impressive! Uncle Alex is super cool!” Anna jumped for joy.
“Daddy is cool.” Kiddo clapped along.
Gina quickly covered the little one’s mouth but was shocked at how Kiddo could tell.
“He’s still becoming stronger.” Elizabeth looked at Mag passionately. How astonishing. He was already at the top in the Norland Continent but he could still become stronger.
He was even stronger than when she first saw him, even stronger than when he saved her at Frost Dragon Island, and even stronger than when he was at the ice sheets.
Every time she saw him, she could feel that he had become stronger.
That was what she was pursuing!
“It’s him indeed.” Shirley looked at Mag in surprise. Although no one could see past his disguise and his identity was even harder for anyone to link, the only problem he had was that the owner of the restaurant and the world’s hero could not coexist at the same time.
No one noticed that kilometers away, in a battleship half-concealed in the space, Xi let go of her finger on the trigger of an assault rifle. She pouted and said, “Did this fellow make me come here to watch him flex?”
However, she squinted again as she locked her eyes on the monster within the spatial shield. The system had already started to rapidly analyze it. This fellow that appeared to be a monster was an unidentified organism. To be more specific, it was an oddly-shaped mech.
Be it the materials used for this mech, or its high standard of production, this was something that should not be appearing on the Norland Continent.
This was a product from the Underground City and on top of that, the technology used in it was higher than that of any battle mech currently used in the army.
She had not heard of anyone who could cross the border between the two worlds with the help of a mech.
“Who is it? What is their motive for breaking past the shield?” Xi locked her brows tightly together. She tapped open the emergency contact interface and hesitated for a while before closing it.
She needed more information before reporting this directly to the Marshal. This was no simple matter.
***
“Who exactly are you!” The monster’s voice was shaking. At this moment, it finally felt fear.
This fellow was way more powerful than what the 10th-tier entailed.
However, according to the information it gathered, no one in the Norland Continent had been able to break through past the 10th-tier for thousands of years to become an Extraordinaire.
What’s with this fellow?
“Me? I’m just a nobody.” Mag smiled. His tone turned cold instantly as he said, “But, you hit my wife and that’s terrible. Choose how you want to die.”
“You’re belittling me!”
The monster scoffed. It pushed itself up with its five arms and used its arms to replace its legs. Three of its limbs transformed into a sharp weapon which it slashed towards Mag.
“Interesting.” Mag moved a little and avoided all of the monster’s attacks precisely.
He was somewhat interested in the design of this mech. This was way better than that of Vicki’s and its power was compatible with that of a demi-god’s realm.
If it did not become severely injured after giving its all in the battle with the Queen and Helena, Mag might not be breezing through right now.
However, where would the controller be hiding at? Or was this an unmanned mech that was controlled remotely?
“This fellow knows spatial magic. Save that infant first. Don’t let him get away.” Irina’s voice sounded in Mag’s ear.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Mag smiled and his gaze turned sharp.
“Alright, the game’s over. Remember, don’t trifle with the people from the Norland Continent,” Mag said coldly. He tapped his foot and rose up quickly.
The three black limbs were akin to spears stabbing at him at lightning speed. They had a green glow, so they were probably laced with poison.
Mag held his sword in one hand horizontally before his chest and slashed at it.
The three sharp limbs were sliced in a single slash, reducing to three useless metal rods falling to the ground.
The monster used two of its arms to hold its body up while it attempted to catch Mag with three of its arms.
Mag tapped on its giant arm lightly and leaped higher up.
The larger the mass, the slower the speed. This followed Newton’s second law of motion.
Therefore, Mag was significantly faster.
Mag reached its chest area and made a few slashes with his longsword before giving it a mighty kick.
Bam!
A metal pod was kicked out from the monster’s body on the other side.
“Darn!”
The monster was stunned and used one of its arms to grab that metal pod.
However, Mag appeared at the back as well. Before the giant arm could reach the metal pod, the longsword had acted.
The giant arm, which was a few meters in diameter, was cleanly cut.
Mag gave the metal pod another mighty kick so that it flew in another direction, towards the observation stage.
“No!”
The monster let out a shriek as it threw its body towards the metal pod.
“I want to see how many bowls of noodles you’ve had today,” Mag said with a smile. He stabbed the longsword into the monster’s chest and slashed it upwards.
This stab pierced through the monster’s body and slashed it into two.
There were no internal organs, no noodles, only a stomach full of mechanical parts and wiring.
“Even if I’m gone, all of you are not living.” The monster let out a last roar before a red light flashed out from its heart.
“So much nonsense even when you’re dying.”
Mag walked over. One step, one more step, another step.
The red light extinguished.
It was as though nothing happened.
