Chapter 188: Another Man!



Chapter 188: Another Man!

Land Overthrowing Elesp!

Grrr-! the giant roared even though it no longer had a head, scaring multitudes of survivors -when suddenly- his Rank Ey senses felt tingly directed to something above -eh?

He just saw a red dot. Before he could even blink, it hit the top of his giant body.

The projectile was just like a bead of sand if compared. However, it went through his gigantic being, piercing as if he was just butter inside in less than a fraction of a second!

Coming from the inside, flames emerged, and through the cracks on his body, red lights flashed.

Right afterward, a great explosion resounded.

[.....]

Galion was stupefied at this sight and immediately, he escaped. The shockwave alone traveled through the air, creating a great destructive force on its surrounding. Obliterating everything on its spot as if a nuclear warhead was dropped on top of the giant's head.

Hopelessly laying on the ground, Queen Teresa just wished King Isero and Princess Alisera were safe before the shockwave traveled through her body.

"What's that!?" Mettany shook as she heard the greatest explosion that banged her ears, at the same time, she felt that it was far away, "Did Goddess already sent punishment for the people who chose to be a man instead of being a sinless woman?!" 

Meanwhile, King Isero was in his defensive form while protecting Princess Alisera behind his back. Fortunately, this unknown silver-haired woman was not targeting the princess.

No, this unknown enemy was even giving the effort of not harming her.

On the other hand, when time stopped, Avion who thought that he will crash on the ground stopped.

"Huh?" he opened his eyes and saw that he was floating before his butt softly hit the ground, "Huh?" he repeated when he saw in front of him how the giant had already cracked when only a second had passed in the real world.

"Ha?... haha... HAHAHA!" Avion laughed.

"That was stronger than I thought..." Darea muttered as she came down while her servant was very ecstatic about it.

"Hmm! How's that? Isn't that cool? I call that True Meteor!" Avion shamelessly flaunted.

"..." Darea didn't say anything and just crouched down, pointing, "Your Identity Change Elesp broke."

"Eh?" Avion panicked and touched his face. When he felt some fragment on it, he used Revert on them, returning his ugly face. However, the Identity Change still has cracks, "How did it get destroyed?"

"It's not stable in the first place. That's why you got an ugly appearance. You just learned how to revert an object outside your body, right?"

"So I cannot Revert it to its perfect state..." Avion muttered, "Then what should I do?"

"Why don't you just take it off? You changed your identity to escape the people's pursuit, but now, you are already killing Rank Ey Elementalists, there's no need to hide your identity anymore."

"...." Avion pondered for a while before shaking his head, "I just can't take it off since I still owe the Guild Master. I will use it until the elesp naturally wore off."

"Your choice." Darea shrugged but it was evident that there was disappointment behind her words.

"Sorry..."

"What? Why?"

"Nothing." Avion stood up before dusting his black clothes.

Frowning, Darea immediately changed the topic, "So what will you do now?"

"I have to get away here as fast as possible. I think the impact this time can kill me. So I guess, we need to find the princess!" Avion energetically said.

Darea nodded as she opened her arms, "Come" making the black-clothed ugly bastard pause.

"But..." Avion gave a problematic face.

"What?"

"You know, I began being conscious about my manliness. I feel like a little kid if you carry me like that."

To this, the Conqueress only giggled as she found this very hilarious.

"W-why?"

But Darea continued to silently laugh.

Avion just frowned, waiting for her to stop. Eventually, she stood up straight and asked, "How old are you?"

"18, I think?"

"How old do you think am I?" normally, women wouldn't want their age to be known as it's sensitive for them, especially for female Elementalists since they have a long life while still retaining their youthfulness. They would naturally hide their true age.

But Darea doesn't care any of that.

Stunned at his defeat, Avion didn't answer and just came between her arms, muttering, "I can't fly anyway."

Darea smoothly closed her arms and rubbed Avion's head. They were about the same height, actually, making the scene a bit awkward.

"I haven't died yet." he then said as if it was a threat.

"I know, I know. You can do whatever you want after this."

Avion sighed, "Now, I don't want to do it."

"Hehe... stop acting like a big boy." Darea laughed one last time before flying away.

The Conqueress was flying not even a tenth of her original speed. Avion didn't know this and didn't doubt her speed. In actuality, he was already overwhelmed by this speed so eventually, they reached the capital walls.

Despite the fact that they have no idea where their targets are, they wouldn't blindly look all over Haliviana. They will first look at the most possible locations.

If only Darea was free to use her investigative elesps then they would have a hundred percent success rate of finding their target on first try.

Having left no choice, they can still use predictions to eliminate lots of unnecessary routes.

For example, escaping the princess with him, where would King Isero escape to? Where else except the Karan Kingdom? Although that was not absolute, there was still a huge probability.

So they headed southeast and as they pass the wall, how about that? Looks like the king-princess pair had not gone that far yet.

"I think it's safe here from the impact." Darea said as she flew down after passing the wall.

After landing, she noticed Avion's strange silence after release. "Looking" at him, she asked, "What is it?"

Avion pointed with a questioning glance, "Why is Mettany here?"

'Mettany?' Darea frowned as she had heard this name from Avion before. Actually, she had heard this name multiple times already.

"What's that?!" Mettany shouted, and suddenly, she felt a tingling sensation emerging from her spine, making her shudder and a bit wet. Her head jerked and saw an ugly man in black.

"Hm?"

"Is there something wrong, grandma?" Tamya asked the old grandma sitting on a rocking chair. Earlier, this grandma was laughing a lot, shouting something about beating a useless king, but then, she frowned.

Grandma Sien muttered, "This feeling... no doubt about it... it's Avion Teller... goddamit! Another man!"

Tamya blinked a few times in surprise.
