Chapter 601
Interesting individuals inhabited this world, and Davey was determined to stir up that hornet's nest.
Once the Peach Blossom Fairy had swiftly departed with Su-Yoon, he gently stroked Rinne's head, saying, "Rinne, from now on, change course and go to Han Ja-Seong."
"Rinne demands an explanation."
"You must go and secretly protect the child named Cheon Ji-Hee, who's by his side. If I'm correct, the one who teamed up with the Abyss will target her."
Davey sent her off with a little push on her back, and he was then left with the company of Yun Hee-Ryeong, a dangerous entity to guard against, and Perserque, a VIP whom he had to safeguard at all costs.
"Alright. Let's go shred the bastard who caused this damned mess."
Yun Hee-Ryeong frowned at his remark. "I still feel like a pufferfish is dancing on my tongue. How could anyone cook anything to have such a painful taste?"
"It's effective, isn't it?"
The effect wouldve been negligible given the inherent power of the Abyss Princess, but in her current state, the effect would be tremendous.
"So, how do we find them? That thing... You said it was formless. How do you plan to find something that disappears at will?"
Her question raised a valid point, and there was another thing to consider too. While Davey sought out the damned formless entity, he was also being pursued by the Countries of Hwan and Yu, and trying to prevent their collision.
Thus, an inevitable question arose. Why didnt the thing simply run away with the fragment of the Absolute Gem?
If it possessed the fragment, it could find the real Absolute Gem even faster than Davey.
The answer was actually quite simple. The thing no longer had the strength to return to its world and bring along with it the fragment it had. Since Sleesia died, the Abyss had significant problems when it came to dimensional travel, making it hard for Abyssal entities to come and go as they wanted.
This would leave the Abyssal entity no other choice but to buy some time. It also knew it was no match against Davey, and that left Isildi as its only possible defensive measure. But Davey planned to find the Abyssal entity before it could have a chance to awaken her. "It'd be nice if Princess Jadeflower would work hard in the process."
"What exactly did you ask Princess Jadeflower to do?"
"Pray," said Davey, causing Hee-Ryeong to look at him with puzzlement. "You don't even know the state of the world you live in, do you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Keep wondering. Follow me. Let's go, you guys."
Davey headed toward where he felt numerous energies, while the Fire Chicken, Rumble, and Whiteythe groggy White Tiger that had just woken up to groom itselftrailed dutifully behind him. Substantial time had passed since this commotion started. It was to be expected that the Embroidered Uniform Guards would barge in, since the information about Daveys presence must have spread like wildfire.
"Continental Criminal Davey! How dare a descendent of the Western Barbarians assassinate the Crown Prince! Accept divine punishment!"
As soon as Davey left the forest, numerous figures appeared. At first glance, it seemed like thousands, if not tens of thousands, were surrounding the three of them. If they had delayed any longer there, they would have eventually been found. Davey suspected that it was because of the borrowed power from the Abyssal entity that the guards were able to detect them despite their usage of the ability of invisibility that was similar to Rinnes.He couldnt think of any other logical explanation. The three Divine Beasts that were on Davey's command growled, showing their hostility as if demanding their master to call upon them.
"I did not kill him," Davey denied calmly, but he was gripping the throat of Yun Hee-Ryeong, while his sword was pointed threateningly at her neck. "You see this hostage? If you keep blocking our path, this woman's life will be over."
The hostage crisis he staged caused the Grand Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards to turn grim.
"Proceed! Did you think I'd fall for your wretched ploy! The death of that miss would not restrain us, the Embroidered Uniform Guards! On my command! Prepare for the Great Evil Annihilation Formation!"
Upon the Grand Commander's shout, dozens of figures clad in luxurious armor appeared, brandishing their swords as they took their places in a formation.
Not an iota of complacency could be seen in the determined look in their eyes. Not when they already knew that many experts at the martial arts tournament were beaten by Davey.
As the guards displayed an unwavering resolve to take Davey down even if it meant their death, Davey whispered quietly to Yun Hee-Ryeong, "Don't kick up a fuss; just follow."
Davey took out a branch adorned with bells and lightly shook it in a repetitive, flicking motion.
Jingle!
The surrounding air began to change as the clear sound of the bell rang out. Thousands of the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guards felt uneasy with the sudden shift, but Davey did not stop.
"Good. Go ahead and make a show of it."
Come out, yall.
Lightning poured down from the skies that blazed with red flame.
"What?!"
It slowly whispered in a chilling, hushed voice, "Everything is perfect. He shall never achieve it all."
Davey ORowane. He was the greatest enemy of the Abyss, and he would surely come for Oedon, and take his chance while it did not have the strength to return to the Abyss with the Absolute Gem.
And if he did come, the final trap would then unfold.
The black stone was obtained from Urd, a fellow Abyssal being, to set up exactly that.
Shh...
Gliding along the forest, which now tarnished in black, Oedon saw multiple presences in the distance and straightened its tentacles, making them look like spikes. Then it began to send forth its will.
'Go. Fulfill your reason for existence and plunge this place into destruction and chaos.'
The Ak Rim Sect Leader, the pirates stationed along the eastern coast, and the Green Forest Banditsthey all began to move, shaking the entire land. Oedon had prepared a trap far beyond imagination, something that would sweep Davey away in an instant.
Ping!
One of Oedon's tentacles jerked, and on top of it, red eyes emerged.
"You've come," Oedon's chilling voice echoed.
Davey grinned. "Yeah. Youve been hiding here for so long and this is all youve got?"
"Even though I concealed myself with my power..."
"Well, such a sloppy barrier from an Abyssal lackey? Oh, sorry. I did not realize it was a barrier and I just breezed past. It shattered."
It was an overt provocation, and Oedon struggled to suppress the bubbling hatred inside. But it pondered as it watched the queen and mother it sought for, the Heart of the Abyss, who stood beside Davey. Next to her was the Abyssal Princess, who was stupidly stripped of her memories and strength.
Just a bit more time, Oedon thought as he flicked the black stone in his hand.
"Your arrogance ends here. Let's see if you can still speak so boldly after seeing this."
The black stone emitted a mighty force and started to tug at a massive being from beyond space.
It had black-tinted scales, four sturdy, thick legs, and the pale red eyes of a reptile. A colossal beast that looked like a dragon. It was none other than Shandra Minea, the King of Mythical Beasts.
"This powerful being was corrupted by Urd. You may be strong, but you won't be able to beat this one so easily."
If this Shandra Minea can hold you off for even a brief moment, that would be enough to give me a chance to awaken Isildi and make my escape.
However, Oedon's expression hardened at Davey's following words.
"I was wondering where you'd hidden it, turned out you sealed it to corrupt it. That's good." Davey clapped as if the situation was to his advantage, and two swords, red and blue, floated beside him.
The swords moved as if they knew the steps to a dance, and before Oedon could react, they sliced through a portion of his tentacles.
"Gah! Oedon cried out in pain. Move, Shandra Minea! Devour him!"
The corrupted King of Mythical Beasts, Shandra Minea, unleashed enormous strength and opened its maw wide at Davey.
"Last time was your avatar? Now it's your actual body. Sorry, but I'm not the one to thrash you this time."
Strange power began to surge from Davey's body. When he was undergoing the Metamorphosis, he had adopted genes from a hero from the Hall of Heroes, and in that moment, the genes of the Mythical Beast Summoner, Shane Scrift, manifested their power.
Guided by his will, space twisted and shattered, awakening an extraordinary force that even the Divine Beasts could not compare to. The King of Mythical Beasts, Megalodria.
"Go, Megalodria. It's your friend."
Appearing as a dark flash, the Azure Sky Storm Dragon King snatched Shandra Minea and soared up high. Shandra Minea, surprised by the sudden arrival of a peer, shrieked in alarm and flailed around, but it was futile. The power difference between the mindless Shandra Minea and the conscious storm Megalodria was immense. After all, they knew each other too well.
"Shandra Minea is at its peak on land. You've made a mistake, you bastard."
As Shandra Minea was whisked skyward by Megalodria, Oedons defense was left with a gaping vacancy, so it hastily altered its form, and took on a quadrupedal shape. Oedon then quickly extended its tentacles and thrust them at Davey, but...
Slash!!
In an instant, Davey's red sword precisely cleaved Oedon in half.
