Chapter 1461 - About To Get Even Worse
Chapter 1461 – About To Get Even Worse
Without anyone expecting it, the power of the continental barrier began to ramp up quite quickly. It was as if the chaotic Divine Energy and Elements inside the barrier were becoming more rampant than ever before. On the surface, such a thing was normal. However, the Under Desert Sea was completely different. Although it was there, it was much milder. That’s why everyone could pass through it.
Naturally, the twins’ group looked at the big Kibin and asked, “What’s happening?”
The big Kibin shook his head as he replied, “Let’s just say those two friends of yours had a certain something I didn’t expect them to have. Anyways, you should pass through the barrier quickly as the continental barrier is restoring its power in the Under Desert Sea.”
*Pin!*
Suddenly, the sound of the Soul Gem System echoed in the twins’ minds.
[Unnexpected Event: A powerful source of energy is on the move, and it’s affecting the entire environment thousands of kilometers around it. Warning: The risk on the hosts’ lives is very high. Hosts should leave the range of the energy source immediately.]
As soon as the system said that, Rean felt a familiar type of energy he hadn’t ever felt since they left Huring. ‘Roan, I know this energy. It’s similar to the continental barrier but not the same.’
Roan looked at him and checked the memories Rean sent, asking, ‘You mean the Flash Beast?’
Back in the Cosgles Tribe, Rean entered a cave that led to a place where they found the Convergence Crystal. The Convergence Crystal was also known for being an incubator for the Flash Beast. Rean could tell that the energy from the Convergence Crystal and the one he was feeling now was the same.
Rean nodded. ‘Yeah. We should leave now since I think it might be a Flash Beast awakening. Of course, I’ve never seen one, so I can’t guarantee it.’
Roan didn’t need to hear it twice. Sister Orb explained to him what a Flash Beast was, so it was obvious that only death awaited them if they spent too long in this place. “Let’s go!”
Sharky then led the way as the twins’ group pressed through the continental barrier as fast as they could. As for the big Kibin, he simply smiled before he also disappeared. The continental barrier was his territory, and he could travel through it at great speeds. Even the so-called Flash Beast would have a hard time trying to get him.
Well, the Flash Beast would be asking to die if it tried to enter the continental barrier anyway.
‘If I’m not wrong, it was the Convergence Crystal’s power in that chasm that weakened the continental barrier in the Under Sea Desert. Only something like that should have the power to do it,’ Rean could not help but say.
Sister Orb agreed with Rean, telling them, [You’re correct. However, the Flash Beast can’t enter the continental barrier exactly because their energies are similar. There’s also the fact that the continental barrier as a whole has much more power. The Flash Beast would disappear if it stayed inside too long. It’s only because it stayed close but not inside that the weakening happened without it being affected.]
Roan wasn’t happy to hear that, though. ‘Just keep moving as fast as you can. If the Flash Beast really was born and is now trying to leave the chasm, then the weakening will disappear. That means the continental barrier will go back to its original shape. In other words, we’re dead meat if that happens while we’re inside.’
‘Can’t we use the smaller Kibin to get us through?’ Rean asked.
Suddenly, the small Kibin’s voice echoed in the mind of the twins’ group. ‘Don’t expect me to get you through this. Since I have just connected with this kid, I lost quite some of my energy. If it’s only me, I won’t be affected. However, I have no way to protect the rest of you.’
“What?!” Rean was taken aback. “Then, we won’t be able to use you to traverse the continental barriers anymore?”
‘You can,’ answered the smaller Kibin. ‘However, I’ll need a few days to recover to my peak. Obviously, you don’t have that much time.’
“Then, what about your father? Couldn’t he have taken us out?” Falangia asked in response.
Roan shook his head, though. “The idea is to gain experience, right? If he helped his son with the very first problem he would encounter, what would be the point? Look, can you see his father at all? He’s gone already.”
Rean bitterly smiled after that. “But the only ones at risk are us. The small Kibin said it wouldn’t matter for him.” It was then that Rean understood. The small Kibin didn’t even want to come in the first place, so he simply didn’t care.
Fortunately, Sharky was an aquatic demon beast at the Transition Realm. With Sharky’s speed, they traversed the continental barrier quite quickly since they were still underwater. He even dragged Kentucky together, who couldn’t move as fast as him exactly for the same reason.
Everyone thousands of kilometers around the Under Sea Desert was looking at the continental barrier as it raged forth. The experts from both continents that kept an eye on it, trying to prevent any large-scale invasion, were dumbfounded by that development. After all, it was the first time they saw it happen.
Then again, the barrier couldn’t care less. It began to pour more and more chaotic Divine Energy and Elements inside the Under Desert Sea. That power affected everyone inside, and those with weaker defenses already started to find it difficult to resist.
On the side of the Pol Continent, the aquatic demon beast experts that watched over the barrier gathered in front of it but couldn’t do anything. “The weakening is disappearing!”
Obviously, just like the big Kibin, they also knew why the barrier was disrupted there.
“The Flash Beast is coming out!”
“But how? It wasn’t supposed to come of out the Convergence Crystal for the next ten thousand years at the very least.”
“How would I know? Tell everyone to retreat before the barrier kills them.”
“What about the Treavin Continent?”
The leader in that group shook his head, saying, “I believe their already miserable lives are just about to get worse.”
