Mystical Journey

w weaker than it was previously, allowing him to sigh in relief briefly. He stepped back quickly and appeared on the spot that he was initially standing on again.

“Do you only know how to run?” A taunting look appeared on Werder’s face.

In the arena where the distinguished guests were seated, March sneered coldly.

“Looks like Garen is going to reach his limits soon.”

“According to the rules, he can actually forfeit now. He can get down from the platform as long as he contributes some spoils of war.” On the sidelines, Yiling furrowed her eyebrows.

“Get off the platform and admit defeat? That depends on whether I agree or not,” March clapped his hands gently.

Pop!

A soundproof shield-like layer suddenly rose on the Decisive Battle Platform below them. It isolated the interior from the other noises directly.

On the Battle Platform, Garen raised his head and looked at the soundproof barrier that had appeared.

“What does this protective shield do?” he asked while furrowing his eyebrows.

“What does it do? It cuts off the noises from the outside, of course,” Werder sneered. He reached his hand out and pressed the handle of the whip.

A whooshing noise could be heard before his entire whip separated itself into three slim black whips.

Through the shield, he looked at Beehive who was seated at the designated area for distinguished guests.

“Lord Beehive, I bid you a good day on behalf of Lord March.” He raised his three whips and flung them gently before the three whips suddenly transformed into three black pythons mid-air. They opened their big mouths ferociously and shot toward Garen.

While sitting with the other distinguished guests, Beehive’s face became slightly contorted.

“Four Level Five Experimental Bodies? What aggressive assets!”

The spectators burst with excitement now. As expected, Werder was indeed worthy of being called an experienced powerhouse; he was able to reveal four Experimental Bodies right off the bat! It was clear that he had used certain specialized methods to increase the number of Experimental Bodies that he could control.

Regular Level Five Energy Machinists could only control two at a time, yet he was able to control up to four.

White Night and his other two companions stared at the Decisive Battle Platform anxiously.

“Peak Master Garen is in danger!” said the blondie worriedly. No one had gotten used to seeing Werder’s arrogant face. Naturally, he was hoping for Garen, who was much more subdued, to win instead.

“Four Experimental Bodies. In order to increase one’s predetermined limits, the things and resources that they had contributed would not merely be a simple figure. This is truly a large-scale project…” sighed the white-haired youth emotionally. He had enough experience in this aspect and knew that one needed to pay a large price and make great contributions. Therefore, he was able to praise him sincerely. “Peak Master Garen will probably surrender soon.”

“Not necessarily,” White Night spoke suddenly. “You guys, look at Peak Master Garen’s face.”

Both of them listened to him and focused on Garen’s face immediately. Surprisingly, they noticed that there was not a hint of fear or panic on Garen’s face now. Instead, he looked even calmer than before.

“Look at his hand!” White Night suddenly gasped quietly. Both of his eyes widened suddenly as if he had seen something unbelievable.

On the Decisive Battle Platform. Garen raised his hand slowly. There was a light gold ring on his pale finger that was currently illuminated.

Numerous black-colored Giant Wolves appeared beside him slowly. There was one, then two, three, four… eight, ten… twenty… thirty…

Densely-packed herds of wolves appeared beside Garen like stars that were surrounding the moon. Each of these Giant Wolves was at least two meters long and one meter tall. Their entire bodies were strong and muscular while their sharp claws and fangs gaze off dazzling light.

When the four pythons rushed over, they were immediately and violently pounced upon by more than ten of these Giant Wolves, suppressing them on the platform before they started fighting.

Within what seemed like a few seconds, the entire platform was filled with Giant Wolves that were released by Garen. There were at least thirty wolves in the pack that were raising their heads towards the sky, howling madly.

Woo…!!

While the Giant Wolves howled, the surroundings of the entire Decisive Battle Platform burst into an uproar instantly as well.

“You…!! How is this possible?!!” Werder stared at Garen as if he had seen a ghost. “So many… So many Biochemical Beasts!! You…”

Garen took one step backward calmly. The Giant Wolves beside him crept around and howled quietly.

“Kill him!”

Boom!!

At almost the same time, more than ten Giant Wolves leaped towards Werder quickly. The loud stomping noises that exploded at that moment formed a deafening sound. It seemed as though the countless black shadows were pouncing on Werder, covering him.

Each of them was a Level Three Giant Wolf. When facing the four black pythons, these Giant Wolves dashed forward bravely without worrying about their personal safety. They bit them madly while scratching and tearing the protective Energy Field immediately. They tore the pythons to shreds before eating the bones that remained.

Werder had no time to think before he sank into the attack of the wolf pack in a frenzy.

Garen stood quietly on the edges of the Battle Platform. Each time a black wolf died, he would quickly make up for it with another one from his ring that would rush inside. His face was frighteningly calm as he quietly watched Werder being torn to shreds while he was held up inside. It seemed as though this was not actually a decisive battle, and even less so when looking at his own opponent. Although his gaze had fallen on Werder’s body, his mind had floated away to an unknown place.

The outside world was currently thrust into a complete mess.

March had stood up long ago. His face was pale while his hand was suspended closely above the battle termination button in front of him. However, another hand in a black glove had tightly seized his wrist that wanted to press the button.

The arrogant man who was holding the slaves earlier had appeared beside March suddenly. There was a smile on his face while he seized March’s wrist with one hand.

“Why won’t you let this good performance play itself out? Shows like this aren’t something that you can see anytime…”

The corners of March’s eyes turned red while he glared at the arrogant man beside him coldly.

The both of them acted as if they were close, but their hearts and minds were filling the air with bone-piercing chills.

Yiling, Joey, and the others were beside him, but none of them dared to move. A man and woman in white clothes with silver hems had seized both of them in similar manners.

Many spectators had stood up in their seats while some of them had even recorded this rare scene with their video cameras. Lively gasps of surprise rose and fell. Some people had even informed their good friends as more people surged into the seats around the Decisive Battle Platform once again.

No!!!!

The soundproof barrier on the Decisive Battle Platform was finally removed before a shrill shriek echoed over in the end.

Werder’s protective Energy Field was finally unable to maintain itself anymore when more than ten Giant Wolves pounced on it at once. They tore it down to pieces instantly. Blood and flesh flew around immediately, creating a scene that was too gory to witness.

He used the silvery-white Ice Cicada in the end. However, it did not have enough strength after piercing through the bodies of four black wolves. Therefore, it was devoured in one bite after the numerous wolves pounced on it and decreased its speed.

Werder and his four black pythons were all ripped into shreds of bloody pieces that were now unrecognizable. The Battle Platform was a mess. It was filled with torn clothes and clumps of bloodied flesh. However, the wolf pack lowered their heads and chomped continuously while enjoying the fruits of their labor, happily ravishing it. Many people who witnessed this scene felt as if they were going to vomit from the gruesomeness.

‘Garen wins. He has obtained a total score of one thousand points after winning the decisive battle of life and death. Once the video recordings have been sealed, they will be rented out to be viewed. You may receive half of the shares of the divided costs,” said a cold electronic female voice that rose through the sky.

The light pillar that enveloped the Decisive Battle Platform finally disappeared completely.

Garen kept the wolf pack and walked down the Decisive Battle Platform slowly. He glanced at Princess Aine who was seated in the royal seating area from afar and nodded at her.

He had borrowed Aine’s personal Space Ring. If it were not for her, this decisive battle would have been more troublesome.

Aine had a splendid smile on her face. She could barely maintain the refined expression on her face, but could not hide the astonishment and surprise in her eyes.

“Congratulations, Your Royal Highness. You’ve associated yourself with a future prodigy and powerful contender,” said the princess from a neighboring country, who sat beside her, in a sincere tone of admiration.

The rankings and speaking authorities of royals like themselves would increase greatly if they had the backing of powerful prodigies like Garen. Moreover, it would not be impossible for them to fight for the position of the queen.

After this battle, as long as Garen was fine, Royal Princess Aine’s position would be unshakeable now.

Within the audience seats.

White Light’s gaze glimmered while he looked on at Garen who was walking down the platform. He had merely stood upright while the numerous wolves beside him pounced forward and ripped his opponent to shreds easily.

Battles like these… No! This could not be considered a battle. It was simply a torture! A one-sided torturous murder!

“Too strong…!” Blondie’s mouth was gaping open slightly. He was dumbstruck by the great reversal that he had witnessed.

“Upper Middle-Level Energy Machinists have powerful and specialized trump cards. Sure enough, we shouldn’t have underestimated any one of them…” An obvious look of admiration appeared on the white-haired youth’s face.

“No wonder…” said White Night softly.

“No wonder what?” Blondie looked at his companion and remembered that he was the one who had first realized Garen’s abnormalities. It was clear now that he had an outstanding judgment.

On the sidelines, although the white-haired youth seemed reluctant, he could not pretend that White Night’s foresight was not amazing.

“No wonder Peak Master Garen is known as the Black Wolf of the snowy peaks. The true reason lies here. He’s the king that controls these black wolves in the pack to bite and rip. Who would be more suitable than him to be bestowed with the name of the Black Wolf Peak Master?” White Night’s heart was racing. Energy Machinists like these were the ones that he truly yearned for! They were the ones who were truly strong enough!

Energy Machinists like this… were the true Energy Machinists!

****************

When the decisive battle ended, March and the arrogant man separated themselves from each other. Both of them glanced at each other coldly for a few moments before March snorted bitterly and turned around, leaving with his entourage.

The arrogant man glanced at Garen from afar before Garen smiled and nodded at him thankfully, indicating that he owed him a debt of gratitude. Only then did the two of them leave respectively after making a secret agreement.

Bainster and Hillco rushed forward with respectful looks on their faces.

“Senior Brother, you were so powerful! Forty-two Black Wolves! Forty-two!! My goodness! How did you pull it off?!” Bainster was so excited that his voice was slightly shrill now.

“I’d expect no less from Senior Brother!” Hillco only said one sentence, but the respect in her eyes was not any less apparent. Her voice was even shivering slightly now.

From the beginning when he fell into an unfavorable position to the end where he destroyed his opponent instantly, there were too many things in between that happened too quickly, making it difficult for the both of them to react.

“Help me find the identity of the man who stopped March. I owe him a debt now because of today.” Garen removed the Space Ring on his finger as a large number of goods and resources that Werder had brought with him were now kept inside.

Since the black wolves were controlled by him, they had especially left the things that would be useful to him without damaging them.

“Alright,” Hillco nodded.

A racket could be heard outside. It seemed as though a crowd had gathered at the exit.

Garen glanced at Bainster before the latter reacted immediately and explained.

“After you won, royal representatives from various kingdoms rushed over immediately. There were even certain leaders from the chambers of commerce and some of our Senior Brothers and Sisters. However, the most important individual was the Three Hearted Senior Sister Lady Regar.”

“Is she Eva Regar?” Garen was slightly shocked and suddenly recalled the woman who met him personally when he had just entered the sect. He only had a clear impression of the old woman, Fifth Senior Sister Rainy. However, he could not recall much about this Third Senior Sister. He had never expected that she would rush over personally in the first instance.

However, this felt normal as well.

Although it looked as if Werder was killed easily, he was still a high-ranking official who was in charge of an outgoing post. He was also a Level Five powerhouse, and Level Five Energy Machinists were already considered as high-level individuals despite being in the Scarlet Snow Sect. Therefore, an influential person with sufficient authority to speak would come and make a statement containing specific details to stabilize the overall situation.
