Chapter 349: Chapter 194: Blood Red · Moon · God
A blood-red mist billowed, and the very heavens began to change...
Lu Cang extended his Perception toward the sky. Ruijia’s National Defense Array was, at least, still under his control.
’Hopefully, their deadliest move will be some kind of powerful Restriction.’
SWOOSH!
A number of Array Maps flew out from Lu Cang’s palm!
Lu Cang was not an Array Master.
He couldn’t set up Arrays and Rituals with perfect precision.
Nor could he deploy certain High Tier Arrays and Barriers that came with specific requirements.
But he could, at least, set up the fundamentals.
A few "Source" had already been placed in various corners of the city.
An aged, blood-red figure strode forward.
His wizened flesh was covered in black Runes.
His blood-red pupils held a coldness that loathed the very world.
"Lady Aertemi instructed us to avoid unnecessary complications."
"By the divine will, no one will stop you if you choose to leave."
"This matter no longer concerns you."
"Do you truly believe you alone can obstruct the grand undertaking of us Divine Spirits?"
"I will give you one last chance. Leave."
Level 7 Reincarnators, regardless of their Profession...
...all possessed incredibly sharp Intuition.
Right now, they could actually feel a faint aura of danger emanating from Lu Cang.
Their mission was not to engage in a life-or-death struggle with an unrelated party.
If they got entangled with him, there was no telling what desperate measures he might resort to in a fight to the bitter end.
Creating needless complications and inviting unexpected trouble.
This was the last thing Lady Aertemi wanted to see.
A battle that forced them to reveal all their trump cards could jeopardize the entire plan.
It would be better to simply let him leave.
If they stuck to the original plan, capturing Kumironi should be an easy feat.
Lu Cang gazed at the figure before him.
「Date of Death—10 days, 14 hours」
’In other words, if I weren’t here, this is the Date of Death he would be facing.’
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
In mid-air, figures materialized one after another like flashes of light.
They materialized in every direction around Lu Cang.
Lu Cang had already discovered that the Speed of several of these figures was no less than his own.
They were at least Level 6 powerhouses.
Lu Cang spoke slowly.
Creating an incredibly tense standoff with everyone present.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for nearly half a minute.
The old man covered in Runes saw a flicker of an internal struggle in Lu Cang’s eyes.
But eventually, that struggle seemed to resolve, replaced by acceptance.
Lu Cang let out a long breath. "Well... if that’s the case."
He sighed again. "Then, I’ll just leave."
But the very instant those words fell.
VMMMM—
The Array Maps on the ground lit up—
BOOM! An incredibly thick pillar of white light shot up into the sky!
「Guiding Ritual」
The Ritual formed an immense pillar of light that shot straight to the heavens, known as a Guiding Beacon.
The Guiding Beacon was blindingly bright, piercing the boundless heavens!
It connected the heavens and the earth.
It should be visible even from as far away as Kernoya!
This was a Ritual that Lu Cang had deciphered in the past.
The old man standing directly in front of Lu Cang spoke, his tone growing even colder. "You..."
Lu Cang remained motionless.
Though surrounded, he stood his ground, his cold gaze fixed on each and every one of them.
’Why interfere in an "unrelated" matter?’
’Indeed, if it had been anyone else.’
’Even for Chum, Leng Qingying, or Lu Luwei... I would have considered turning my back and leaving.’
’After all, my relationship with them isn’t a matter of life and death.’
’This is a scheme orchestrated by Divine Spirits.’
’Even the clergy have been replaced by impostors...’
’All the signs have long been enough to prove that this is no ordinary event.’
’A seemingly foolproof plan, and a matter involving beings on par with gods.’
’How could I possibly step into such murky waters?’
’But.’
’Everything Kumironi has done for me... saving my life, guiding my path, helping me advance...’
Lu Cang let out a disdainful sneer.
In a mocking tone, the child’s voice slowly drawled, "Why...?"
"Because I am human."
Lu Cang’s tone was frigid, a deathly light flashing in his eyes.
The man covered in Runes held his Magic Staff, walking through the Void as ripples spread with his every step.
He looked at the pillar of light ascending into the sky.
His voice was deep and cold. "Human..."
"Then you can die with your ’humanity.’"
VMM!
Lu Cang snapped his head up to see the sky shatter! Countless obscure Runes ascended toward the heavens!
The eyes of the old man before him were filled with the light of Arcane Magic.
"A Tier Seven Root Demon..."
PUH!
Yet, before the old man could even finish speaking!
His body was suddenly wracked by violent convulsions!
The Magic that had been forming in the sky instantly burst apart!
His flesh began to rot at an incredible speed!
POP!
In the very next instant, his entire skin suddenly swelled up with countless blisters!
"No! No... NONONONO!"
"Why!"
"No!"
"This is impossible!"
His flesh, both rotting and swelling, looked like a wildly metastasizing tumor!
In the span of half a second, it swelled to its absolute limit!
SPLAT—
The tumor burst!
His flesh shattered!
And the man himself exploded into a shower of blood and gore!
At the same time, the other sixteen bodies around him also burst and rotted away!
POP POP POP POP POP POP POP—
Lu Cang’s gaze remained placid.
’I was looking at your Dates of Death. What, I wonder, were you all looking at?’
And in that very same instant, one ferocious behemoth after another appeared abruptly between the heavens and the earth!
「Tier Six Submerged Land Undead」x100
「Tier Six Nation Destruction Level Undead」x500
「Tier Six King Level Undead」x20,000
「Tier Six Lord Level Undead」x80,000
The Undead blotted out the sky and sun!
Swarms of Low Tier Undead also appeared throughout the city, their roars shaking the very heavens!
They let out deafening shrieks!
And Lu Cang, under everyone’s gaze, simply vanished!
It was as if everyone had forgotten Lu Cang even existed.
