### Chapter 363
The Most Horrific Seed.
The Kingdom of Jem is looking to expand its territory and swallow the world whole.
When the Most Horrific Seed reaches its igniting point, the Kingdom of Jem will go berserk like never before.
And the moment the Most Horrific Seed fully ignites…
The Kingdom of Jem will take root in the world, breaking the restraints of World Erosion.
From then on, there’s no turning back.
Until the roots of the Most Horrific Seed are pulled out, the Kingdom will absorb the world’s power and march forward relentlessly.
And right now…
Kraush was making his way through the south, passing the Rain’s Aftermath of the Kingdom of Jem.
The Rain’s Aftermath—just as the name suggests—was a ce where it poured relentlessly, and various erosion species thrived.
At that moment, a gigantic rain giant blocked Kraush’s path.
The giant swung its fist towards Kraush.
BOOM!
The ground exploded, and the flooding water around surged up.
However, Kraush remained unfazed by the deluge.
He merely swung the Rain Thunder Prime, now engulfed in white mes.
Swish!
Kraush’s sword sliced through the water giant like butter.
BOOM!
Surrounded by a tsunami of water, the giant copsed.
But it didn’t die; it simply was no longer in one piece.
This is why the Rain’s Aftermath is troublesome; no matter how many erosion species you take down, they just regenerate thanks to the rain.
They are an infinite, immortal army of rain!
Not to mention the sheer volume of rain pouring from the sky was thoroughly impressive.
The water quickly rose to Kraush’s waist, trying to bind his feet.
“I’ll buy time until the Most Horrific Seed ignites. Is this what I’m doing?”
A ssic struggle for survival from the Kingdom of Jem.
If this were any other time, he wouldn’t have even thought of pushing forward in this ce.
But now, despite the struggle, Kraush kept advancing.
At the center of the Rain’s Aftermath, the power of the Most Horrific Seed blooming inside was palpable to Kraush.
The Rain’s Aftermath intensified its efforts to push Kraush back.
However, Kraush’s white mes were lethal against the forces of World Erosion.
Born to repel World Erosion, the aura of his white mes was intensely powerful.
Slowly, he began to get closer to the Kingdom.
Kraush was now making his way through the waterlogged area.
The rain attempted to seep into Kraush, trying to seize control of his body.
If it seeded, Kraush would be the top of the rain!
But no matter how much the rain tried to infiltrate him, it would ultimately just be fuel for his white mes.
It couldn’t block Kraush’s path.
Now, even the curse from the Kingdom was useless against Kraush.
“Because this is the white me I’ve trained for this day and moment.”
A curse that he had suppressed even during his cursed days.
Now, the curse from the Kingdom feltughable.
Still, there were some opponents that Kraush couldn’t afford to underestimate.
THUD!
The water-filled depths churned.
Kraush knew exactly what was causing themotion.
‘Here ites.’
Kraush quietly lifted his head.
In the dark waters, something was approaching him.
There was a humanoid figure.
It had a glowing jellyfish head that sparkled like the rain,plete with wings sprouting from its head.
Dressed in a robe mimicking a human and with elongated limbs, it radiated an overwhelmingly powerful aura of World Erosion.
The master of the Kingdom of Jem’s Rain’s Aftermath—Deukiora.
Deukiora silently swayed in the rain.
It seemed to be warning Kraush.
It was saying that if he advanced any further, he would die.
Facing Deukiora, Kraush ignited the white me on the Rain Thunder Prime just like the first time.
“I have so much to do right now.”
Thanks to Ixion’s mischief, the Most Horrific Seeds were igniting all over the world.
Others were trying to hold things together, but there was no guarantee how long they could keep it up.
So, Kraush needed to finish with the Kingdom quickly and move on.
“It’s time to wipe your world off the map.”
Deukiora’s jellyfish-like legs stood stiffly.
It instinctively felt uneasy at the sight of Kraush’s white mes.
This was confirmation that Deukiora regarded Kraush as aplete enemy.
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the area around Kraush brightened up.
Despite the rain, everything shone around him as Kraush opened his bleary eyes.
There, floating in the raindrops, were jellyfish swarming around.
‘This is…’
Deukiora’s spawn.
They were glowing with blue mes within,pletely filling the space.
“Well, I was a fool to expect a one-on-one against a World Erosion species.”
Their true purpose was simply to assist the World Erosion.
To achieve that, they would employ every means necessary to eliminate anything in their way.
A truly textbook move from the World Erosion species.
Just then, the jellyfish all lunged toward Kraush.
Deukiora had disappeared amongst the swarm of jellyfish, no longer visible.
Kraush ignited his body in white mes.
The jellyfish tendrils reaching for him burned away.
However, undeterred, the jellyfish continued to advance toward Kraush.
‘They n to drain my strength with sheer numbers. Is that the game n?’
Kraush also couldn’t infinitely keep boiling white mes.
The jellyfish knew this and sought to hold Kraush here at all costs.
When he eventually ran out of white mes, they could rip him apart and feast.
“Alright then, let’s see what you’ve got.”
With that resolve, Kraush readied himself.
He curled up like a spring and aimed the Rain Thunder Prime forward.
The white me beneath Kraush beganpressing.
As light gathered, it red up violently, warping space around it.
Deukiora was waiting for Kraush to weaken.
‘Then I’ll just make sure that doesn’t happen.’
The target was the Most Horrific Seed.
Kraush’s eyes glinted with madness.
If something was blocking his way, he’d just st through it.
“Let’s see who gets anxious first.”
Deukiora sensed that something was off, but it was toote.
BOOM!
Kraush leaped into the air, exploding upwards.
As he did, the Rain Thunder Prime sliced through the air in every direction.
With each swing of Kraush’s sword, jellyfish were ripped apart.
They tried to form a wall against him, but it was futile.
Kraush elerated, cutting them down.
The problem was that Kraush was heading straight for the Most Horrific Seed.
‘Here ites.’
At that moment, Kraush’s instincts red.
Between the jellyfish wall, something moved at ultra-high speed.
It matched Kraush’s own speed when he activated the Excel ability.
Indeed, it was no wonder it was the master of the Kingdom.
The masters in the Kingdom of Jem possess immeasurable power and are untouchable.
Even if someone were to defeat the master, the Kingdom would not disappear.
Another World Erosion species would just take its ce.
And so, the world has been unable to do anything to the Kingdom until now.
But right now, with the Most Horrific Seed igniting, everything was different.
The entirety of the Kingdom’s power was converging at a single point.
The Most Horrific Seed was the Kingdom’sst resort for expansion.
But that didn’t mean just anyone could eliminate the Most Horrific Seed.
Especially not when the masters of the Kingdom would never let it happen.
However, at this moment, there was an adversary that could be deemed the worst possible matchup for the Kingdom.
One who could burn the Kingdom’s ultimate force, its aura, with white mes.
And one who could even devour the Kingdom’sst resort—the Most Horrific Seed.
Kraush had absorbed countless powers of World Erosion until now.
While most of that has been transformed into aura through the seasons, he could still absorb the force of World Erosion.
Of course, he couldn’t just infinitely absorb it; otherwise, his vessel would shatter.
But!
Kraush had created a new vessel through his umted experiences.
The skill ‘Sable.’
Like before, Kraush nned to swallow the Most Horrific Seed and burn it, storing it in Sable.
With Sable, Kraush could contain almost limitless power.
Moreover, he could convert that energy into aura using the seasons.
In that moment, all these elementsbined…
Kraush had essentially be the most nightmarish enemy for the Kingdom of Jem.
Did the Kingdom sense this intuitively?
The Rain’s Aftermath began resorting to any means necessary.
He must not be allowed to reach the Most Horrific Seed.
The jellyfish wall blocking Kraush began to squirm.
No longer content with simply holding Kraush back, the jellyfish merged together, madly rushing to push him away.
Deukiora also began to take action.
Just as Kraush tore through the jellyfish wall…
CRASH!
Deukiora broke through the gtinous barrier and appeared.
Amidst the gathering wings above the jellyfish head, a blue ray of light began to converge.
That was the end if it hit directly.
Realizing this, Kraush immediately ignited his entire body in white mes and pivoted his sword.
ZING!
Apanied by a quick sound, the blue beam shot towards Kraush.
At the moment he narrowly deflected it with Rain Thunder Prime…
BOOM!
Everything the blue beam touched exploded violently.
Kraush stumbled in the aftermath of the st, rolling through the raindrops.
At that moment, the jellyfish swarm lunged at Kraush, sensing an opportunity.
Yet the white mes pouring from Kraush incinerated them.
‘What a hassle.’
As he dealt with the jellyfish, Kraush stomped the ground.
That’s when he caught Deukiora moving again through the jellyfish wall.
WHOOSH!
As the jellyfish wall parted, Deukiora once again unleashed the blue ray.
Kraush did not parry this time; he quickly dodged aside.
BOOM!
Though the blue ray shattered the jellyfish, Deukiora remained unfazed.
It merely slipped into the sea of jellyfish and prepared tounch another attack.
So tant with its hit-and-run tactic!
Originally, Kraush wanted to ignore Deukiora as much as possible, but…
It seemed that wasn’t an option anymore.
‘Alright, then!’
A horn began to sprout from Kraush’s forehead.
Simultaneously, scales slowly revealed themselves on his face.
‘Time to kill.’
Kraush’s white mes began to ze even more fiercely.
He would now begin the hunt for Deukiora, the master of the Rain’s Aftermath.
