Chapter 481: Strange Space (1)
Hikaru saw the words in the sky and was surprised. Not only him, but Riya and Tsuraguki were also extremely surprised.
Riya saw this and said angrily: "No way! I have defeated several monsters in the past 3 days, why didn't that text appear?"
Hikaru shrugged, saying he didn't know clearly: "Maybe because I'm luckier than you."
Riya gritted her teeth: "You... you... let me go!"
"Have you thought it through?! If I let you go, you will be sucked inside my Void Hole." Hikaru reminded.
"I don't need it!" Riya struggled, trying to escape Hikaru's arms.
In fact, Riya was almost exhausted now because she had been fighting for 3 days in a row. Even though she is a king-level master, her energy is not limitless.
Hikaru hugged Riya's soft and tired body in his arms. Seeing her angry, he frowned and pushed her away.
He really wanted to help her a little. But if she doesn't know how to appreciate his help, he has to teach her a lesson.
Even though he only saw part of Riya's face, that was enough for him to tell that she was very beautiful.
However, Hikaru does not lack women, on the contrary, he has a lot of women, so many that he himself feels a bit of a headache.
That's why he didn't want to act like a gentleman towards Riya.
Riya, right after escaping Hikaru's arms, was immediately affected by the Void Hole's gravitational pull.
She hastily used magic to form a protective dome around her body.
However, she underestimated the power of the void hole and energy.
The Void Hole's suction power was not simply like that of a giant vacuum cleaner; it also uses Void Energy to form wind currents to erode the energy of surrounding monsters.
Tsuraguki was different, as she also possesses Void Energy, and Hikaru has controlled the Void Hole so as not to affect her.
Riya tried to keep the shield active, but the void energy quickly and easily eroded her magical shield.
Riya saw the protective dome fading at a terrifying speed. She was also startled, and she hastily used her own energy to reinforce the protective dome.
However, everything was not simple. The protective dome was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much energy it absorbed from Riya, it was not enough for it to survive.
"Well… if you will apologize to me, I will help you." Hikaru spoke up.
"Dream on!"
Riya shouted, she took out some Soul Points from the storage space and continuously used them.
Hikaru sighed and shook his head: "You're really stubborn. If I were you, I would surrender quickly so I could save energy."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Riya said angrily: "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who can easily be conquered by a man like you?"
Hikaru heard what Riya said and also felt angry: "Oy! What do you mean? I just helped you destroy that monster, now you're saying I'm a terrible man?
"That's right!" Riya was not to be outdone, she angrily shouted: "If you were kind, you wouldn't have waited until I was exhausted before taking action."
"Ah! I helped you because I'm kind; it is not my duty to do so." Hikaru said contemptuously: "If you think I will pamper you and blindly protect you, then you are wrong."
"Compared to my women, you… are not even close to a hair of theirs."
Tsuraguki was below, but her sharp hearing still allowed her to hear what Hikaru had just said.
She blushed and smiled seductively: "Master... hehehe... you did very well. After this, I will reward you a lot."
Hikaru suddenly shivered, he felt like something very dangerous was coming.
He lowered his head and looked towards Tsuraguki. He saw her looking at him with eyes that had two hearts inside.
Hikaru wiped his sweat, he felt that after he escaped from this place, perhaps Tsuraguki would 'attack' him even more crazily.
After hearing Hikaru speak, Riya was both angry and embarrassed: "You lecher!"
"Ah! I really want to see how long you can hold out. Although your soul points are many, the consumption is also terrible. I think… you can last for two hours." Hikaru said contemptuously.
After all, he has an infinite source of energy, so this was like a rice field for him to harvest attribute points.
Hikaru floated in the air, and stared at Riya.
An hour later, Riya was now more alert, but she also began to feel so tired that her body was about to break into pieces.
Having fought continuously for many days, and now being corroded by the Void Hole, Riya's eyelids seemed to be about to collapse.
Perhaps… What was helping her hold on until now was her will.
Hikaru saw this and sighed: "Why are you so stupid? Will you die if you say sorry?"
Riya did not answer, her body shook as if she was about to fall.
10 minutes later, she seemed to lose consciousness, the protective dome also disappeared, and she was then sucked into the Void Hole.
Hikaru immediately appeared next to her, once again hugged her, and muttered: "You're so stupid. If every girl was like you, men would truly be extinct in this world."
"Fortunately… my women are not as hateful as you."
"Ah! Seraphen is also a bit stubborn, but she is a lot different now than before."
Hikaru looked at the sky. He felt that the number of monsters was decreasing rapidly so he assumed that he had guessed right.
"Master, have you guessed something?" Rika suddenly spoke up.
"That's right. It seems… The monsters here are created by the energy we expend, combined with some kind of rune that is absorbing outside energy."
"When the monsters here die, their energy will be renewed once again. With the energy Riya expends, a new monster will be created."
"However, the Void Hole is different, it has the ability to erode and absorb low-level energy."
"Monsters that are also sucked inside by the Void Hole will be completely disintegrated and completely absorbed by the Void Hole. Therefore, they cannot continue the regeneration process."
"That means... the void hole. No, to be more precise, void energy is the key to overcoming the challenges in this world."
Rika replied: "It seems that what master guessed is correct. I thought so too, and… perhaps the Void Hole has something to do with the creator of this challenge."
Hikaru heard that and frowned: "That's strange." Why did the owner who created this place do that? Could it be… he is also a Void Energy user?"
Rika smiled and said: "I don't know, master, maybe you need to find out more on your own."
"But… I think this place is definitely an opportunity for you. If what I think is true, this place definitely has items or information related to Void Energy."
"That thing can help you become stronger."
Hearing that, Hikaru nodded and immediately increased the Void Hole's suction power to quickly corrode the energy of the entire place.
[Ding! The peak points that can be stored are full, please use all of them.]
"Heh?!" Seeing the notice board appear, Hikaru was startled. He frowned, opened the information panel, and saw that the attribute points he had saved had reached 10 billion points.
"Rika, can you temporarily store these points in Rune?"
"It's very difficult, master." Rika replied: "Currently, the runes for trading and storing attribute points are not complete. If you try to use them, I'm afraid... the amount of attribute points you currently possess will be halved."
Hikaru heard that and sighed: "Okay, just do it. Anyway, I can harvest more; losing half is fine."
"5 billion points is enough to last a long time, so losing 5 billion points is not too important."
"Yes, master."
[Ding! Do you want to transfer 10 billion attribute points to another place?]
"Agree!"
[Ding! Moved successfully.]
Immediately after that, his Void Cloak continued to receive additional attribute points from the monsters that the Void Hole had destroyed.
Rika then remained silent, he knew that she was processing the attribute points she had just received.
However, just over 30 minutes later, this world began to collapse. Tsuraguki, who was standing on the ground, frowned as she saw the ground slowly disappear, revealing a strange space below.
She flew up and approached Hikaru: "Master, it seems this world is starting to collapse because it doesn't have enough energy to maintain it."
Hikaru, who was listening,nodded: "That is my goal. If it collapses,then maybe we can escape."
However, 15 minutes later, Hikaru frowned and looked around. Unlike what he thought, the collapsing world did not help him get out. On the contrary, he saw that there were strange symbols linked together all around him.
Those symbols were like threads of light, covering the entire space and forming a giant net.
"These are... runes… All of them are runes." Hikaru frowned. He estimated that this entire space was at least the size of a country.
But the runes were enough to cover the entire place, which was enough to show how many of them there were.
"Oy!" Hikaru called Riya: "Wake up! Explain to me where the hell this place is."
Riya did not wake up, no matter how hard Hikaru shook her. Her eyes were closed, her breathing was weak, and it was as if she was about to die.
"Master!" Tsuraguki suddenly spoke: "Look, they are starting to change."
Hikaru also saw the runes surrounding them begin to move, they switched positions, rearranging themselves into another connection.
In just a minute, another net was formed, emitting blue light.
After that, the space here was restored, becoming a tropical forest.
"This place is…"
Groooo!!!
Before Hikaru could finish speaking, a roar echoed throughout the space. The sky above them suddenly became dark. He and Tsuraguki looked up and saw a giant dragon.
"Dragon?!"
