— Chapter 228 —

[This is the true power of Constellation!]

[So, try your best, make more Constellations, Host]

“…” Baek Ain.

To hell with making more Constellations, Alicia?

Making the Roulan Constellation alone nearly turns Baek Ain insane.

Even now, Baek Ain is very reluctant to make another Constellation.

Still, the fight between the Asura Demon King and the Ancient Bronze Statue is overwhelmingly intense.

At this very moment, both of them are charging at each other.

The Ancient Bronze Statue launched a barrage of spear stabs, leaving the Asura Demon King with little to no spot to dodge. The spear stabs look illusory in people’s eyes.

On the other hand, the Asura Demon King is remarkably agile with his feet and still dodges the fierce spear play with a water-like motion. Even Baek Ain found this situation hard to believe.

After all, the Ancient Bronze Statue is a guardian Fire Roc Saint created and programmed to protect his legacy. Every spear struck the statue launched as deadly as any Spear Master’s strikes.

Yet the statue still loses to Asura Demon King in terms of fluidity.

And this is only 10% of the real Asura Demon King could do.

Just how strong is the expert in the upper dimension or Constellation Realm?

That’s until the exchange reached the ten-second mark.

The Asura Demon King suddenly retreated and maintained a 15-meter distance between himself and the Ancient Bronze Statue, leaving Baek Ain and others confused.

‘Wait, did the Asura Demon King read the Ancient Bronze Statue’s battle tactic?’

‘If that is true, then…’

‘Then, the Ancient Bronze Statue is done for the next exchange.’

The Asura Demon King entered a weird horse stance, piling his six arms into a cannon-like shape. He breathed in and out, causing a rupture in the atmosphere as he drew an extreme amount of oxygen into his body.

Baek Ain observed the Asura Demon King with Ashen God’s Eyes, wanting to know the mechanism behind the red-skinned guy’s martial technique.

“This…”

“How could he pile that much power into his muscle? Isn’t he afraid of exploding?” Baek Ain was confused.

“Asura Demon King should be from the Asura Demon Race…”

“This technique is probably part of the race’s technique because I don’t think humans could replicate it.”

“Even if humans did, our body wouldn’t be able to handle the strain.”

“Maybe I can, but it’s not worth the price.”

Asura Demon King stomped his legs while wiping his arms and rushed toward the Ancient Bronze Statue. Ancient Bronze Statue moved when the Asura Demon King entered effective range and swung its spear.

Swoosh!

They are both fast.

However, Asura Demon King is even faster.

He turned into a crimson lightning bolt and jolted into a punching pose.

“HAAAAAAAA!!” A battle cry escaped Asura Demon King’s mouth.

KABOOOOOOOOM!!

Crimson aura completely overpowered the Ancient Bronze Statue’s armor and seemingly ignored all defense.

Before everyone’s eyes, Asura Demon King blasted the Ancient Bronze Statue with its six-armed punch and smashed the guardian’s upper half into pieces.

Clouds of dust flew everywhere.

“…” Baek Ain.

“…” Chu Ming.

“…” Others.

Asura Demon King professionally rested his arms and breathed out as if he was cooling down. He glanced at Baek Ain and smiled before vanishing into red particles.

Baek Ain was stunned, “What was… That?”

[Acknowledgement…] Alicia answered slowly.

[From the King]

[I don’t know why, though]

Baek Ain suddenly felt an impulse in the Roulan Constellation, and a smile formed on his handsome face. “I know why.”

“That fight was satisfactory for him.”

“Even though it only lasted a few moments, for the summoned Demon King, it was a good fight after so long.”

“You have no idea how mad the Asura Demon King was for a sliver of satisfaction.”

“Something that satiates his thirst for battle, even for a fraction of a second. It felt good to him.”

[…]

[That sounds like what a battle maniac would say]

“Well, Asura Demon is a Demonic Species who likes to fight more than anything.”

[That’s true…]

Baek Ain shook his head and walked to the destroyed Ancient Bronze Statue, examining it with his Ashen God’s eyes.

His eyes wandered around the armor but found nothing special.

“Hmm?” Baek Ain glanced at the giant bronze spear and noticed a small inscription on the spearhead.

He used Ashen God’s Eyes on it and discovered something interesting.

It is Genesis Runes!

Baek Ain scanned the Genesis Runes and was sure it was spatial storage with some seals. He rubbed his chin and picked up the Wandering Stranger’s Brush.

After a few minutes of observation, Baek Ain did the first stroke on the Genesis Rune and slowly unveiled the secret.

Slowly but surely, Baek Ain opened the spatial storage and suddenly heard a click.

Click!

A gentle white light greeted Baek Ain.

Baek Ain stretched his hand to the gentle white light and pulled a brown scroll. The brown scroll is a martial technique related to spearplay, or should he say, spear intent.

A wry expression appeared on Baek Ain’s face because this would be a rewarding loot if he had yet to comprehend martial intent, especially spear intent.

Unfortunately, Baek Ain has comprehended spear intent, and this brown scroll only works as a supplement.

‘Well, better than nothing, I guess.’ Baek Ain casually threw the brown scroll into his inventory. He stared at the Ancient Bronze Statue and put it in his inventory because the material used must be extraordinary.

After that, Baek Ain brought Chu Ming and others into the deeper part of the cave. They didn’t ask much about the Asura Demon King because they realized it must be one of his secret techniques.

Baek Ain appreciated their understanding and gave them more pills to protect themselves.

They walked for five minutes and arrived at a new gate.

However, unlike the previous gates, this gate is ‘literally’ made of pure gold.

Baek Ain tilted his head because his Ashen God’s Eyes couldn’t detect anything from the golden gate.

No threatening presence, no trap, nothing!

“This is weird.”

“What should we do, Your Highness?” Chu Ming asked worriedly.

Baek Ain smiled, “We have come this far.”

“It would be a waste not to continue our journey, no?”

“Still, I won’t force you to come with me. You can leave now.”

Chu Ming and his teammates glanced at each other.

They knew something ahead might be more dangerous than the previous Ancient Bronze Statue. But they have promised Baek Ain that they would escort him.

It would leave a bad taste in their mouth not to fulfill such a promise.

“Captain, we…” Jing Nuyan also looks reluctant.

Chu Ming smiled helplessly, “Your Highness.”

“We wish to follow you till the end.”

“Although we have just known each other recently, I felt you’re a man worth following. I, Chu Ming, am willing to be your sword and shield.”

After saying that, Chu Ming kneeled before Baek Ain.

“Me too!” Jing Nuyuan similarly kneeled before Baek Ain.

“We are willing to be your sword and shield, Your Highness!” The rest of them kneeled in harmony.

Baek Ain was stunned by their action. He didn’t expect them to have this much admiration for him.

But this also makes Baek Ain feel touched.

These kinds of people are people worth taking.

If Baek Ain wants to lay down a good foundation on Heaven Genesis World, he needs loyal people like Chu Ming and his comrades.

After all, Baek Ain would return to this world sooner or later. It is a bigger stage for him.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

An applause echoed in the cave.

Baek Ain turned to the gate and saw a black-haired man sitting on it, overseeing them with an amused expression.

He wears an ordinary white robe and looks cleanly handsome.

“You pass.” The black-haired man said while pointing at Baek Ain.

“Huh?” Baek Ain was confused.

A Ghost?

Chu Ming and others stared at the black-haired man and froze on the spot. Their bodies trembled, and cold sweat poured on their pale faces.

“F-Fire…”

“Fire Roc Saint!”

“I’m just a lingering soul, but yeah. I’m the Fire Roc Saint.” The black-haired man smiled.
