Generally speaking, even if a seventh-level absolute ability user is excellent in actual combat, there is no chance of defeating an eighth-level demigod level ability user in the face of absolute strength barriers.
In the same way, an eighth-level demigod-level ability user has no chance of winning against a ninth-level peak powerhouse.
However, today, in the battle between two ninth-level powerhouses, Higashinohara shocked everyone so much that they almost dropped their eyes and killed them both before disappearing without a trace.
After killing someone, run away.
That's called a clean and tidy one!
This immediately shocked everyone in the team of hunters behind the sea wall. At the same time, they felt that the world had become more magical than ever before. Deep in their hearts, they began to doubt more than once what the man wearing the white-faced fangs mask just now was.
Or is he not the new hunter of [Dawn Scarlet] that they are familiar with?
Although the name "White Yaksha" joined the Dawn Scarlet in less than half a month, he quickly rose with an incredible and crazy momentum and became a new Seven-Star Hunter. No one is optimistic about his potential.
Otherwise, gentlemen Alenda and Teresa would not have taken the initiative to get close to each other as soon as they met.
Even so, when Higashinohara went to attack two ninth-level powerhouses by himself not long ago, no one in the hunting team thought that his "potential" would allow him to do this. Everyone thought he was crazy.
.
until now,
Only then did they realize that they were crazy.
But at this moment, what made everyone in the Jaeger team even more confused was the figure who suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield with the roar of dragons and elephants after the battle was over.
The man's face was different from the old man Vincent before. He looked extremely young. He was wearing a well-tailored formal suit, his face was cold and meticulous, and his posture was tall and proud. No one could tell that he was over 140 years old.
elder.
Abraham Rhine.
Born into the Tianlong Clan, the Celestial Royal Family.
At this time, the terrifying aura on his body, as if facing the abyss, immediately made the members of the Jaeger team on the seawall freeze instantly, and deep down in their hearts, they could not even think of escaping.
They are all absolute ability users above the seventh level. There can only be one reason for this situation - that is, the strength of the old man in front of them is far beyond them, and he has the strength to overthrow him at any time.
"What do we do now?"
"Damn it! I can't seem to move!"
"Don't run! Don't make any moves!"
"Don't hurt us even if you want to die!"
"."
The communication voice of the Jaeger team suddenly fell silent.
Under the terrifying pressure of death, deputy captain Yoshizu Ichiro had bead-sized beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead, and his back in the heavy rain was completely soaked with sweat from the inner lining of his clothes.
At this moment, everyone on the seawall felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast in the forest. Although they knew in their hearts that if they didn't run, they might become the other party's prey, but if they turned around and ran, they might die faster.
This is the most painful and torturous.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Abraham Rhine, who was standing next to the headless body of the old man Vincent, suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and looked in the direction of Mingsha Island, and said with an extremely cold expression on his meticulous face:
"How dare you touch my things and make the tiger flee the mountain? How brave you are."
As soon as the words fell, a loud "rumbling" sound was heard on the seabed, like a giant spirit god descending from the sky and stepping on it. The huge seabed cracked and collapsed, and a ring-shaped sound cone cloud suddenly appeared around Abraham.
Suddenly, he had already used the power of the counter-shock to disappear from the spot.
After about a few seconds, the mountain-like oppression in the hearts of everyone on the seawall slowly disappeared from everyone's hearts, but everyone felt at a loss.
"That guy... went back again?"
"What's going on?"
"Never mind the situation, what should we do?"
"."
Now Kimura Hakutaku's whereabouts are unknown, Higashinohara is missing again, and the Jaeger team lost one person on the way to escape from being chased by the alien demon army today. The remaining seven people including Ellenda, Teresa and others are suddenly worried.
There was a moment of confusion.
Don't know where to go.
In the end, it was deputy captain Yoshizu Ichiro who gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Mingsha Island where Kimura Hakutaku disappeared, and then looked back at the gap that Higashinohara had just cut in the strange demon army that had not yet been filled.
He said decisively, "Bring the supplies! Let's get out of here first!"
"But Team Leader Kimura." Someone hesitated.
After all, they are hunters, and Kimura Hakutaku is their employer.
At this time, retreat seemed to have destroyed their contract, so everyone was hesitant.
"Team Leader Kimura doesn't need us now."
Yoshizu Ichiro said in a serious tone, "We are not abandoning him, but if we want to complete the mission, we must at least survive. Let's find a safe place nearby to wait for Team Leader Kimura. He will need us again."
Hearing what Yoshizu Ichiro said, everyone had no idea for a while, and hurriedly took advantage of the cover of the heavy rain and the fact that the other demons were too crazy and excited about the tide to take care of them, and evacuated quickly from the road that Higashinohara had just cut.
Before leaving, Theresa looked back thoughtfully in the direction behind her.
The life-and-death battle between the ninth-level warriors finally ended with the fall of two ninth-level warriors. The wind and rain on the seabed were still the same, but the man who killed the two ninth-level warriors had disappeared, leaving only the mess and chaos on the ground.
The seabed was mixed with puddles of varying depths of blood.
Although I don’t know why Team Leader Kimura and those who just appeared are interested in the sand island in the center of the mirage-like tide in front of them, it stands to reason that the disappeared Higashinohara may have also gone to that sand island.
But for some reason, Teresa had a vague feeling in her heart that the man wearing the White Yaksha mask had no interest in what these people were keen to fight for.
So
Where will he be if he disappears?
It rained all the time.
In the afternoon, the lead-colored clouds that were once overwhelming and pressing against the ground in the hazy sky began to slowly rise, and eventually dissipated in all directions, revealing the hazy sky that was not very clear in the first place.
A petite girl was walking along the bank of the Pujiang River covered with light rain. Her playful short orange hair was swaying, and her steps were as cheerful as an outing.
Behind her was a tall, short-haired man with a forlorn expression. He was carrying a heavy luggage bag and his facial features were all squeezed together, giving him a sad look.
"Sister, please don't put all your own things in my bag. You are a power user and I am not. It's very stressful for me to do this." The tall man gasped after walking a few steps.
Finally couldn't help but complain.
The petite girl with short orange hair who was walking in front turned around and scolded dissatisfiedly, "You just lack exercise. We took the risk to come here to seek breakthroughs, not for vacation! Do you understand?"
It looks like you are here on vacation.
Otherwise, why would you have packed sunscreen in your bag?
The tall man complained in his heart, and glanced around with a sly look. His sly look, combined with his "imposing and upright" height, was a little strangely funny. He said cautiously, "Sister, are you sure the border gate is a week away?"
Will it open later?”
"Of course." The girl with short orange hair said mysteriously, "This is the secret volume I found in the collection room of our National Library in Saint-Malo. If the smelly old man hadn't sneaked in while he was drunk, I'm afraid this would be the secret volume.
I never knew in my life that there was such a hell world outside the world we live in."
Having said this, Lucy von Bartholomew's face showed a trace of pride.
As the daughter of Prince Bartholomew, the brother of the current emperor of the St. Malo Empire, one of the two most powerful countries in the world, although her identity has nothing to do with the future inheritance of the St. Malo Empire, what awaits her is probably a battle.
Political marriage.
But Lucie von Bartholomew was also a princess, but because women were not taken seriously in a semi-feudal empire like Saint-Malo, she had never been admitted to the National Library of Saint-Maro since she was a child.
I have entered the rumored collection room of the National Library.
It's just that although Lucy von Bartholomew has a face as beautiful as an angel, she also has a dark mind like a "devil". She secretly sent a box of palace wine to the old man who was responsible for guarding the collection room, and she was so mysterious.
I unknowingly added some "ingredients" to the wine.
That night, while the old guard was drunk, Lucy sneaked into the collection room and came into contact with those secret historical materials. She finally understood what the so-called "Border Gate" that had recently appeared in Wano Country represented.
As a result, Lucy, who was unwilling to follow the common path of political marriage between princesses and spend her life as a victim of the royal family, "abducted" a distant relative who came to live in her home in the countryside - a genius boy who had just advanced to the seventh level.
The two pretended to be members of the "Black Pearl" pirate group, and after traveling all the way to Wano Country, they finally entered this lost hell world when the Sky Tree Border Gate opened for the second time.
She has only one purpose here!
That is becoming stronger!
Having just entered the early stage of the seventh level, she was not taken seriously enough in an empire as powerful as St. Malo. At most, she was regarded as a "more valuable bargaining chip" in political marriages.
But as long as Lucy can seize the opportunity to advance to the second level of the seventh level and prove her potential in the future, then the family will no longer regard her as an absolute capable person created with resources, and will give her enough space to grow.
After all, peak seventh-level or even eighth-level experts are rare in the Saint Malo Empire. Even the prince's family does not have the luxury to marry such precious strategic-level talents.
Thinking of this, Lucy couldn't help but give a thumbs up and wipe her pretty nose, and said to Daniel, a distant cousin who stayed in her home because of his potential, "Okay, okay, stop complaining, I am
I brought you here because we have a good relationship. You don’t want to spend your whole life being a ‘potential stock’ in our house at the beginning of stage seven, right? If you have been a potential stock for too long, it means you have no potential.”
Hearing this, Daniel suddenly looked sad.
He was promoted to the seventh level of absolute ability three years earlier than Lucy, the prince's daughter, and was specially approved by the prince to be promoted to the royal capital Maro from a remote town.
After coming to this city, he realized why when he was a child, he always heard adults say, "Some people are born as horses and cows, and some people are born as horses."
Daniel is more eager than anyone else to gain recognition in this dreamy royal capital of Maro, which is why he is tempted by Lucy's adventurous proposal. Otherwise, no matter how stupid he is, he will never be able to secretly seduce Chen Cangyuan with Lucy, the princess.
Go to the land of peace.
But when they tried their best to "bypass" the Third Investigation Team of Neo-Tokyo, slipped through the border gate and arrived at this lost world of hell, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on their heads.
Only then did Daniel realize that this dead, desolate hell world, full of dangers, was not as full of opportunities as the pie Lucy drew for him. It seemed that after entering, he would be able to immediately rise to four levels in a row and reach the peak of the seventh level.
You can step into the eighth level at any time.
The most important thing is that Lucy made a vow before coming.
After entering this world, I had no idea how to find breakthrough opportunities, and I didn’t know anything at all.
Everything is fake
Daniel was on the verge of tears.
You know, if Lucy, the princess, failed in this adventure and failed to complete the promotion, she would at most be scolded and then continue her political marriage after returning, and the person she would marry would definitely be either rich or noble.
But if Daniel, a stupid guy from a small remote town, fails to realize the improvement of his personal value this time and returns to the capital of Maro in disgrace, there may not be much "good juice" waiting for him.
For a moment, Daniel felt that life was all gloomy. He stood by the Pujiang River and looked up at the sky. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lucy in front of him, who was as excited as a bird that had been caged for a long time. The corners of his mouth twitched and he thought deeply.
Stomping your feet and saying "You've done evil".
When he was at the prince's house, this old lady did a lot of tricking him.
Why did he believe this old lady’s lies?!
Lucy von Bartholomew seemed to have noticed the depression of the "tool man", oh no, good comrade, and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, we have just arrived here, the sun always comes after the wind and rain."
After saying this, she paused and looked up at the sky with some embarrassment. This lifeless hell world was still full of haze after the storm. Where could the sunshine come from? She quickly changed her words and said, "The hard work pays off, we still have six days."
Where is the time? What is that?"
Lucy's words suddenly stopped, and she raised her hand playfully to point to the prostrate black figure in the shallow puddle in the dry river, and said with wide-open sapphire eyes full of surprise.
Daniel, who was carrying a lot of luggage behind him, thought this distant distant relative was teasing him again, so he didn't even raise his head and said in a sullen voice, "I'm an honest person, but I'm not stupid."
"You idiot!"
Lucy's eyes suddenly widened and she said angrily, "If you don't believe me, just see for yourself! Wait! Oh my god! He seems to be still moving?!"
Daniel heard that Lucy's tone didn't sound like she was lying, and he immediately reacted. He raised his head and looked in the direction Lucy was pointing. Sure enough, he saw the blurry black figure in ragged clothes and covered in blood in the stagnant water.
He subconsciously took two steps back and said in confusion, "Isn't this the strange demon you told me about before you came here?"
Lucy squinted and stared at it for a few times, then shook her head decisively and said, "No! It's not a strange demon! He seems to be waving to us for help."
Daniel was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
The two looked at each other, both looking like they didn't know what to do.
In the end, Lucy made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go and take a look. He's so seriously injured that he doesn't pose a threat to us. We've been wandering around here for a day, maybe he can provide us with some useful information."
.”
Daniel looked carefully at the opponent's injuries and could basically eliminate the threat. His low-income background determined his character of having no independent opinions. At this time, he felt justified after hearing Lucy's words, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.
Then he noticed Lucy staring at him.
"What?"
"Go and drag him up."
"Why me."
"Do you want me to go?"
"."
About a minute later, Higashinohara, who closed his eyes and used the spiritual healing to slowly heal himself from the inside out, was finally rescued before being drowned by the slowly rising water in the river.
At the same time, not long after he regained consciousness, a mechanical and ethereal voice came from the dark "Guild Manual" in his mind.
