Chapter 170: Changes In Dungeon 2
Chapter 170: Changes In Dungeon 2
Elsewhere, Sharky ran as fast as he could with Catherine. But when he sensed the sudden strangeness, he also stopped.
Let alone now, when Catherine was extremely weak, even if she were in her best condition, she still wouldn’t be able to stand still on this quaking ground. She cried out in alarm and fell into Sharky’s warm embrace.
"Are you okay?" Sharky caught her and flew into the air. He didn’t dare to fly too high and only remained several meters above the ground. Otherwise, the emperor would be able to see them from a distance.
"I’m alright." Catherine nodded, she asked, "What happened?"
Sharky shook his head. "I don’t know. I feel like something’s changed in this dungeon. The spatial element here has become extremely unstable. Something major might happen to this place soon."
Catherine suddenly spoke. "There’s something strange going on with this world? Sigh, our situation is already so grim. When it rains, it really pours..."
When he heard the despair in her voice, Sharky consoled her. "It’s actually the opposite. It’s because of this sudden variable that we might have a chance to survive."
Catherine was stunned. She was a smart person too, so she quickly realized what he was saying. She couldn’t help but sigh in praise. "Yes, you are right."
She then looked around, she still had not recovered from the news, the Emperor was the Crown Prince. "What should we do now?" She asked.
"Let’s leave this dungeon first," Sharky said. "Then I’ll bring you to the north’s fiend races. No matter how powerful the emperor is, his influence can’t reach that place."
"The fiend races?" Catherine was stunned and shook her head. "We can’t do that. We still have our father behind us."
"I’m not asking you to announce your identity to the world. We can just live there in seclusion. We don’t have to worry about those things then."
"Live in seclusion..." Catherine nodded.
Just then, a voice said in the distance, "Heh, you two are still thinking of eloping?"
Sharky and Catherine’s expressions changed. It was the emperor’s voice! Just as Sharky attempted to flee with Catherine, the air and ki around him seemingly solidified. He couldn’t move at all.
Zhao Ruizhi’s fat figure appeared on the horizon. He took a light step, and in the next second, he was already standing in front of them.
"They’re over there!" He Li exclaimed with pleasant surprise. He ran over excitedly with his men, but when he saw that the emperor had arrived before them, he broke out into a cold sweat. He quickly said in praise, "Your majesty is all powerful after all. You arrived first even though you left after us! This humble one is overwhelmed with admiration."
Sharky and Catherine both frowned. These people had already defected to the emperor? What the hell were they still fighting for then? It wouldn’t be easy even if they were just facing these King George Manor experts, let alone if the emperor were also there.
Sharky’s heart sank to rock bottom. However, he didn’t give up, as he felt great resentment inside.
As if sensing his fighting spirit, a startled expression flashed through the emperor’s eyes. "Hm? A lowly person like you surprisingly has a bit of a spine. You aren’t willing to bow down to another after all. You can’t be left alive."
As he finished speaking, he raised his finger. He didn’t want to waste any more words on Sharky and planned to directly kill him. But just then, his expression suddenly changed and he lowered his head.
An intense rumble emerged from the depths of the earth. The noise was louder than before, and it didn’t show any signs of stopping. The ground began to crack apart, revealing several bottomless crevices. Some of King George Manor’s deathsworn soldiers couldn’t dodge in time and fell in, screaming miserably as they dropped.
Sharky suddenly noticed that he could move. He quickly flew into the sky with Catherine, evading the giant cracks that had appeared in the ground.
When he saw Sharky’s arm wrap around Catherine’s slender waist, and Catherine also wrapping her arms tightly around his body, Zhao Ruizhi’s eyes released powerful killing intent.
Zhao Ruizhi looked at the two of them with sinister eyes. "Very good; you two have successfully angered me." After he spoke, he raised his hand. A streak of golden light flew between Sharky and Catherine, clearly intending to separate them.
With Catherine’s cultivation, she couldn’t resist at all. She could only watch as the golden light got closer and closer.
Normally, even though his cultivation had increased drastically, Sharky still would have been pressured by the other party’s domain until he couldn’t breathe. He would also have been unable to react.
But now that two dungeons were merging together, the elements of the world had become chaotic. They had damaged the emperor’s domain, so it couldn’t completely imprison Sharky.
Sharky used Zoom’s ability to quickly pull Catherine aside. However, before he had time to catch his breath, the golden light suddenly changed directions, continuing to fly at them. But still the attack followed him.
Catherine said, "You don’t have to worry about me. It’ll be faster if you run alone."
Sharky chuckled. "How can I abandon you and run on my own? We’ll just die together as lovers if we have to."
Catherine nodded.
Zhao Ruizhi looked incredibly irritated. "Die as lovers? I’ll chop off all five of your limbs! Let’s see how you die together then!" His hand brushed out, and another streak of golden light flew toward the two of them.
"Since I can’t escape this, I will face it directly," Sharky said, and when the two golden lights appeared in front of him, he drew his sword.
He used the Snow Phoenix, and an ice sword hacked at the two streaks of golden light. He didn’t hesitate and immediately followed up by using Fire Phoenix, using the Flame Blade. A scorching hot flame blade attacked at the same time.
Comparatively speaking, he had high level fighting skills for the ice and fire elements. He didn’t dare hold back at such a time and used both of his skills.
Zhao Ruizhi clearly saw the ice sword and flame blade as well. His brows furrowed slightly. This kid was actually this talented?
But there had already been instances of those who had awakened two types of elemental affinities, so he didn’t find it all that surprising. It only further solidified his resolution to kill Sharky.
"You’re overestimating yourself!" he harrumphed. Even though the sword and blade were both outstanding, they were still lacking if Sharky wanted to intercept his attack.
Sure enough, the ice sword and flame blade looked larger than the two golden lights, but they instantly scattered upon contact. Even so, they weren’t completely useless. The two golden lights had clearly become much dimmer.
Sharky felt despair. Was the difference between them really just that great? He quickly used the Blitzwolfer’s ability to counter it.
Boom!
A heavy, but muffled noise ripple outward. King George Manor’s deathsworn soldiers all clutched their ears, their faces turning pale. Blood gushed out of the ears and noses of those with lower cultivations.
Sharky, who was closest to the impact, felt awful as his blood and ki stirred within him. However, those two golden lights had already disappeared.
"Oh?" The emperor was amazed, but then was going to attack him again, but suddenly, a streak of purple light descended from above, perfectly striking the terrifying invisible hand and blasting it apart.
Zhao Ruizhi’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly raised his head. The sky had already changed colors before anyone noticed. A red crack cut across the horizon, as if it were a massive eye.
Innumerable blinding streaks of lightning crashed down from the heavens with a horrifying aura. This scene was like the very end of the world!
Sharky raised his head toward the sky. A massive streak of lightning descended and branched off into several streaks. The once overcast sky immediately became as bright as day.
At that point, the power of the world was chaotic and berserk. The emperor’s attack had caused the surrounding area to become disorderly, drawing over the lightning that had originally been aimed elsewhere. That was why it had just happened to scatter his attack.
Zhao Ruizhi’s gaze conveyed his displeasure as he looked up. He had clearly realized that as well. If he continued to attack Sharky, with his cultivation, it would incur the wrath of the world. But if he deliberately held back, he might not be able to injure Sharky.
He felt annoyed. Having power in this situation was meaningless, so he had no choice but to let the brat live for a bit longer. But seeing the two of them in each other’s arms made him feel beyond annoyed.
Catherine’s eyes had been closed the entire time, as if she were awaiting death. However, she had never expected Sharky to actually have avoided the emperor’s attacks. She was shocked and overjoyed.
She couldn’t help but look at the man she was hugging. She hadn’t thought this man could actually survive two attacks from the emperor! Just how many people in this world were capable of such a thing?
At that moment, Sharky was looking at the sky. That apocalyptic feeling made him feel quite uneasy, as the lightning had really left him quite shaken. The emperor was also looking into the sky, not intending to attack him again for some time. Sharky sighed in relief.
Suddenly, several strange developments took place. Countless birds flew out from the forest in a black expanse, their cries echoing through the jungle. No one had expected this forest to be the home of so many birds!
"Something big is probably about to happen," Sharky said gravely.
Even Zhao Ruizhi’s expression changed. It was clear that he had never seen anything like this before.
With a sudden rumble, the massive mountain in the distance began to break apart. Dust rushed into the sky, then surged like a landslide. The frantically fleeing beasts were annihilated almost instantly.
The onlookers were horrified by the sight. However, Zhao Ruizhi was the first to fly into the sky. Sharky also took Catherine with him into the air. For some reason, he felt as if he couldn’t fly too steadily.
The deathsworn soldiers from King George Manor all ran for their lives as well. Zhao Ruizhi harrumphed. With a brush of his sleeves, a gentle force swept them all toward a large tree nearby. All of them frantically clutched onto the branches for their lives, their faces deathly pale.
"Thank you, your majesty!" He Li and everyone from King George Manor expressed their gratitude, yet Zhao Ruizhi didn’t even give them a look. He instead looked toward the sky with a pensive expression.
Sharky wanted to use this chance to escape, but he was also scared of alarming the emperor and drawing more attacks toward himself. He was momentarily stuck in a dilemma.
Just as he was about to do something, the entire world shook. Even though he was in the air, he still felt the urge to throw up.
An earthquake?! That was Sharky’s first reaction, but he quickly refuted his own guess. With his current cultivation, and the fact that he was in the air right now, not even the greatest earthquake should have been able to make him feel like this, right?
Suddenly, King George Manor’s deathsworn soldiers asked with trembling voices, "The sky.... Is the sky cracking apart?"
Sharky raised his head and just happened to see a bright arc of lightning flash past. The red mark that was like a starry stream became much wider than it had been before, and it was still widening at a visible rate.
"The sky is splitting?" he exclaimed, stupefied.
The red crack started widening exponentially faster. Then a giant, pitch-black crack appeared. The ground cracked open in several different areas as well. The originally sturdy ground seemed to have become a stormy sea, rising and falling unpredictably. All kinds of massive cracks appeared and magma even spurted out from some areas.
Those present were all battered and exhausted; only Zhao Ruizhi’s figure floated in the sky, unfazed by the crazy wind and rain.
"Why isn’t the Emperor using this chance to run and instead insists on staying here? If this world really collapses, his life will be over even with his cultivation, right?" Catherine asked, looking at the Emperor.
Sharky explained, "The reason he isn’t leaving is because he’s recognized that two dungeons are merging right now. This represents a tremendous opportunity, so how can he miss out on this chance?"
