Chapter 1028: Searching
?
Eztein spat out the blood in his mouth and stared defiantly at the experts surrounding him. With a smirk, he said, "A lower dimension housing this level of strength? It''s more likely you guys are in contact with Imperium."
"Kill him!" the elfmanded coldly.
Swoosh!!
Five experts immediately rushed at Eztein with blinding speed. He tightened his grip on his spear andunched himself forward to meet them.
Bang!!
Ripples swept through the space as Eztein collided with his opponents. His elemental powers surged, covering a vast expanse of space with crackling lightning and zing fire. The sh of energies was intense, each strike sending shockwaves that reverberated through the void. Eztein fought fiercely, his spear dancing through the air as he parried and thrust with precision. Despite the odds, he managed to hold his ground, using his Element Drive to its fullest potential. Thebination of lightning and fire created a deadly aura around him, making it difficult for his enemies to approach.
The elf and the remaining experts watched from a distance, their expressions a mix of frustration and caution. They underestimated Eztein''s resilience and power, but they were determined to bring him down. The battle raged on, the void filled with the echoes of shing elements and fierce determination.
"That''s it!" Ezteinughed as he swung his spear down with immense force. One of the five experts attempted to block it but was blown away, hurtling several thousand kilometers through space.
Eztein''s elemental prowess was overwhelming. His mastery over lightning and fire was greater than his opponents'', as he was close to achieving the second stage: Integration. The only thing holding him back was his power level. If not for this limitation, he would have already reached the Integration Stage.
The scale of the battle was unimaginably vast, akin to gods shing for supremacy. The locals on the nearby were gripped by despair, knowing that the destruction of their moon would cause catastrophic problems. Half of the''s surface had been devastated, leading to countless deaths.
"I have to move farther from the. The destructiveness of someone at our level exceeds my expectations," Eztein muttered while blocking and dodging the relentless attacks of his opponents.
With a swift motion, he propelled himself away from the, drawing his enemies along with him. The void became their battlefield, free from the constraints of a nearby celestial body. The experts pursued him, their determination unyielding.
Eztein''s elemental attacks intensified, each strike pushing his enemies back. Hisughter echoed through the emptiness of space, a testament to his fierce spirit and unyielding resolve. The sh of elements created a dazzling disy of power, illuminating the darkness of the void with shes of lightning and bursts of fire.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a powerful energy erupted as space copsed around them.
Eztein and his opponents momentarily paused, turning their heads to see a huge spatial rift forming before them.
"This energy signature..." Eztein muttered, recognizing the familiar aura spreading out.
The elf and the other experts narrowed their eyes, clearly unsettled by the unexpected intruder.
An old man stepped out of the spatial rift with a smile on his face, his hands sped behind his back as he surveyed the destruction they had caused.
"Franklin, why are you here?!" Eztein eximed, surprised to see him.
That''s right, the old man who had arrived was none other than Franklin himself.
"Why am I here? Of course, it''s to help you," Franklin replied matter-of-factly. "You''re weaker than me. I need Vashno here," Eztein dismissed Franklin''s words. "Vashno? He went back, so you won''t find him anywhere in this universe," Franklin shrugged. He then nced at the experts and said, "Anyway, are they our opponents? This should be entertaining."
"Damn... Why is this old man the one who arrived?" Eztein gritted his teeth in frustration. He wanted to fight Franklin himself, but he couldn''t afford to be distracted with the current threat of the experts who wanted him dead.
Franklin nced at Eztein from the corner of his eye and said in a low voice, "We need to get out of this ce. There''s something we need to find. Also, it seems that more enemies will appear soon."
"Huh?!" Eztein was taken aback.
"I don''t have time to exin. They areing, so follow me," Franklin urged. He then raised both of his hands and smashed the space around him.
Bang!!
The fragments of space scattered everywhere as seven experts rushed toward Franklin and Eztein. The elf and another three experts stepped forward,unching powerful attacks. "Damn!" Eztein cursed as he raised his spear and channeled arge amount of energy.
A barrier appeared, absorbing the brunt of the enemies'' attacks. The resulting explosion shook the entire space, teetering on the edge of copse under the might of these experts. Franklin stepped back into the spatial rift, observing the aftermath of the powerful attacks. Although he craved the thrill of battle, he knew their mission was paramount. They needed to reach thes Vashno had mentioned.
"Let''s go!" Franklin urged Eztein.
Before Eztein could respond, a man with a pair of swords hanging on his back appeared above him. In a swift motion, he drew the swords and swung them heavily at his target.
Swoosh!!
Eztein quickly reacted. His elemental energy gathered at the tip of his spear as he thrust it forward.
The collision of their attacks sent shockwaves rippling through space. Both fighters were thrown back, crashing into nearbys.
Eztein gritted his teeth, feeling the impact reverberate through his body. He stood up, shaking off the debris, and red at his opponent.
Franklin moved swiftly, his body enveloped in strings of flesh. He extended his palm, releasing dozens of energy spheres towards their enemies.
Bang! Bang!
Franklinnded beside Eztein. "Come on, let''s go."
Eztein got up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He shot a re at Franklin
before following him.
The two quickly leapt through the spatial rifts.
"Don''t worry, I''ll help you. We need to find the treasure as soon as possible," Franklin said
with augh.
"You should be the one to return to Imperium. Vashno is more familiar with lower dimensions. He can handle more than we can in Imperium," Eztein replied.
Franklin chuckled. "I''ll show youter what I''ve learned. Thews here are entirely different
from those in Imperium."
Eztein remained silent, his thoughts racing. The enemies they faced were formidable, and the stakes were higher than ever. They had to stay focused and work together to achieve their
goal.
As they traversed the rift, the space around them shimmered with strange energies. Franklin''sughter echoed in the void, a stark contrast to the tension Eztein felt.
"We''re close," Franklin said, his tone bing more serious. "The coordinates Vashno
provided are just ahead."
Swoosh!!
In a faraway ce, the space shattered and two figures emerged.
They were Eztein and Franklin.
"What is this?" Eztein asked, looking down at the huge below them.
"A," Franklin replied.
"I can see that. I want to know what we''re doing here," Eztein said, clenching his fist tightly.
"It''s one of the locations Vashno mentioned. I''ll scan this, so keep those guys busy for
a minute," Franklin said, waving his hand before descending.
Swoosh!!
In an instant, Franklin descended onto the vastnd, scanning the entire area with his mana. He noticed that most of the living beings on this were elves.
The elves naturally sensed his arrival since he wasn''t trying to hide his energy. They stared at his figure floating in the sky, seemingly like a god.
Eztein, still hovering above, prepared himself for any potential threats. "Hurry up, Franklin,"
he muttered under his breath.
Franklin closed his eyes, extending his mana throughout the, searching for any traces of the treasure or clues Vashno had mentioned.
"A transcendent being. A being that managed to shred the limit of a mortal body," muttered one of the strongest elves on the.
For the elves, beings who transcended their mortal limits became higher-dimensional entities, unbound by thews of their universe. Despite countless attempts by elves on their to break these limits, all had failed.
There were many paths to transcendence, but each was extremely difficult. The sess rate
was less than one percent, making transcendent beings rare across all thes in the universe that harbored life.
Using mana or manipting thews and concepts of the universe- each method was nearly
impossible to achieve.
"What should we do?" one of the elves asked.
"Can we fight something like that?" another elf asked, their voices tinged with panic.
They were anxious, uncertain about Franklin''s intentions and why such a powerful being had descended upon their world.
"We must remain calm," said the strongest elf, his voice steady. "We don''t know why he is
here, but we must be prepared. Summon the council and alert all high-ranking mages and warriors. We need to be ready for anything."
The elves quickly moved to follow his orders. Messengers were dispatched, and the air buzzed
with urgency as they mobilized their forces.
Boom!!
The space vibrated as arge amount of energy fluctuated.
Franklin looked up and narrowed his eyes. "They''re here. I need to make it quick."
Eztein had already engaged the enemies in the sky. Despite his strength, he couldn''t hold all
of them off indefinitely. Three experts hadnded on the, actively searching for
Franklin.
Franklin knew this would happen.
He flew around as fast as he could, scanning the terrain for any signs of treasure beyond this
world. Anything above orange grade would suffice.
Boom!! Boom!!
Explosions echoed as the battle intensified. News of this sh spread rapidly across different
species in the universe. Transcendent beings had appeared and started fighting out of nowhere, leaving a trail of destruction and casualties in their wake.
The intense battle between transcendent beings reverberated across the cosmos, disturbing numerous civilizations on differents. The conflicts weren''t confined to one world; multiples felt the tremors of their shing powers.
This disturbance drew attention to the game, where speciespeted under the watchful eyes of mysterious overseers. The yers in this cosmic game realized that the overseers had taken drastic measures to eliminate an unknown man, disrupting the fragile bnce that
existed.
Meanwhile, Vashno was tearing through space, traversing a special, enigmatic realm. Countless interchanging spiral patterns surrounded him, constantly shifting and transforming. These patterns blended into a kaleidoscope of colors and emitted a strange screeching sound that echoed directly in his mind.
The spirals morphed into countless eyes, all fixated on him with an eerie, emotionless gaze.
Vashno was familiar with this ce, having passed through it when descending into the lower dimension. It resembled a hyperspace, a liminal zone separating the lower dimensions from the Mother Universe where Imperium resided. Ordinary individuals couldn''t withstand the mental strain of this space. Only those who had broken through one of the limits could traverse it safely. The experience of passing through
this realm often altered a person''s mindset, with the effects varying from one individual to
another.
Initially, Vashno had struggled toprehend this space. But after arriving in Imperium, he began to suspect that the eyes he saw might belong to entities within Imperium itself. During his first attempt to ascend, Vashno felt as if everything was stripped away-his identity, power, and all his possessions. It was a harrowing experience that left him feeling
vulnerable and exposed.
Bang!!
With a powerful surge, Vashno tore through the space, finally arriving in the Mother Universe.
"I''m finally back," he muttered, breathing a sigh of relief. "I need to report this as soon as
possible."
He hurriedly moved towards his destination, knowing that the information he carried was crucial. The events unfolding in the lower dimensions were of great significance, and the local authorities needed to be informed immediately.
