Chapter 368 - 369: So That’s How It Is!
Countless green vines as thick as great dragons emerged from the base of the mountains.
They entwined in the air into a vast web, firmly embracing the mountain range spanning thousands of square kilometers.
In the sky, the enormous elf illusion stretched out hands formed purely from life energy...
As if lifting the vault of heaven, it steadily supported this immense mountain body wrapped in vines.
"Boom—!"
The earth groaned under the unbearable weight, trembling violently, as if the foundations of the entire world were shaking.
The mountain range was forcibly torn from the earth, slowly rising, obscuring the sky, casting a shadow that engulfed everything below.
Witnessing this god-like, world-ending scene firsthand...
Bianca Shelby, Veronica Vero, and Celesia stood frozen, their minds blank.
Lift... lift an entire mountain range?!
Is this truly a power humans can possess?!
Bianca Shelby’s lips twitched, swallowing as she looked at Aster Grant’s upright figure.
Due to her talent’s importance...
She often executed various tasks under Zane Drake’s orders.
Thus, among the trio, she knew the least about Aster Grant.
She only knew that the entire Human Race was now saying...
Aster Grant was the Guardian of the Human Race.
But it wasn’t until she witnessed firsthand that she realized...
This title was truly deserved!
Whether in terms of power or contributions to the Human Race, Aster Grant unquestionably earned this title.
Veronica Vero was likewise stunned on the spot.
The last time she met Aster Grant was at the Azurea council.
Her elder even tried to matchmake her with Aster Grant.
After all, the elder told her that soon, Aster Grant would surely fully mature.
But she hadn’t anticipated...
That time would come so swiftly!
As for Cecilia, it was beyond mention.
Once, she had even been Aster Grant’s enemy for a time.
But now...
No talk of being Aster Grant’s enemy...
With her current strength, she might not even warrant a direct glance from him.
Yet Aster Grant was naturally too busy to concern himself with the upheaval in the trio’s hearts.
He focused entirely on perceiving the situation at the mountain’s base, frowning slightly.
As the mountain lifted, the suppressed, purer, denser demonic qi surged forth like floodwaters bursting a dam.
And the Totem-level Demon Clan bound by Vera’s vines, after frantically absorbing this demonic qi...
Incredibly broke through to Totem Tier Two in a short time, its struggling power suddenly intensified, causing the green vines to strain and creak.
"Troublesome."
Aster Grant immediately concentrated his mind, transmitting new instructions to Vera.
In the sky, the giant elf illusion received the order, beginning to slowly move the arms holding the mountain.
The entire sky darkened, as the mountain’s movement blocked the light, seeming like the advent of doomsday.
The next moment—
"Boom!!!!"
A thunderous crash, as if the heavens and earth split open, erupted!
Under Bianca Shelby and the others’ horrified gaze.
The elf illusion actually hurled the entire mountain it was lifting like a giant stone.
Towards the Totem Tier Two Demon Clan bound by vines, it swung fiercely!
The shadow cast by the mountain instantly swallowed the demon clan.
Its newly-broken-through Totem Tier Two power appeared pale against the pure, ultimate physical weight of the mountain.
It only had time to let out a fearful scream before being completely buried by the weight of the mountain!
"Boom—!"
Another dull, ultimate crash, the earth undulated like waves.
Dust rose sky-high, spreading for miles.
When the dust slowly settled, the former location of the demon clan leader...
Had been completely covered and suppressed by the mountain shifted over, forming a new, more majestic peak.
That powerful Totem Tier Two Demon Clan, along with its struggle marks, had been forever buried at the mountain’s base.
...
Meanwhile, at the ghost clan’s residence.
Veridia was earnestly advising the fiery Clan Leader Shade.
"Clan leader, Veridia and Scarlett chose to enter the ancestral site’s Forbidden Land, although Aster Grant was a factor, ultimately it was their own decision, not all can be blamed on Aster Grant."
Shade was completely ignoring, "Even if not entirely Aster Grant’s fault, that punk shouldn’t have tied me up."
"Last time I was careless, didn’t dodge!"
"This time I’ll definitely get back at him!"
"I’ve been at Totem Level for years, surely not really a match for a Monarch Level junior?"
"Watch me, I’m going to capture that Aster kid!"
Veridia looked at the stubborn clan leader, utterly helpless.
He had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the elf next to Aster Grant, far exceeding ordinary Totem Level existence.
In their last encounter, the other side clearly didn’t go all out.
Otherwise, the clan leader might not have managed even a single move.
Nevertheless, no matter how he persuaded, Shade was dead-set on recovering his standing.
Just as Veridia was almost ready to give up, praying inwardly for Aster Grant to go easy.
Shade, who charged fervently out the ghost clan’s door, was suddenly like bound by an immobilization spell.
He stood frozen, wide-eyed, staring into the distance, stunned.
Originally facing Nine-Hells Centipede King’s mountain from the ghost clan gate.
Due to the close proximity, they’d had quite a few conflicts before.
But now...
That vast magnificent mountain range, at present...
Had disappeared!
Instead, it was replaced by a vast, seemingly leveled by immense force, large open area!
Shade’s rage-filled mind was instantly sobered as if drenched in cold water.
Earlier, Aster Grant did say he was going to Nine-Hells Centipede King’s territory to rescue humans trapped within.
So the creator of this scene, without a doubt, was clear!
"Gulp..."
Shade swallowed his spit with difficulty, cold sweat seeping from his brow.
He quietly, soundlessly, withdrew the foot just stepped outside the door.
He looked down, examined his build, imagined the scene of being met by a whole mountain...
Hmm, surely he wasn’t as tough as the mountain.
The blazing desire to teach Aster Grant was now entirely extinguished by the cold reality.
He turned back, silent, head lowered, walking heavily back inside the residence.
Veridia, who was worried behind, saw the clan leader return so soon and deflated, couldn’t help but be puzzled:
"Clan leader, what are you...?"
Shade didn’t respond, just waved a hand and headed straight to his quarters.
Now he just wanted quiet.
As for settling scores with Aster Grant?
Cough, cough, young people’s thoughts are good, as elders, should be tolerant.
Moreover, didn’t Aster Grant promise to bring back Veridia and Scarlett?
Since he realized his mistake, it wouldn’t do to be too petty, right?
With the clan leader’s 180-degree change in attitude, Veridia’s curiosity nearly peaked.
He couldn’t help but follow Shade’s path outside the ghost clan gate.
When he saw the empty vista, seemingly erased by a heavenly god, he too was instantly petrified.
He understood the clan leader’s drastic change in demeanor.
"So... it was like this..."
Veridia murmured to himself, equally quietly turned.
