Light Fortress Chapter 2103 - 102: Oathbreaker
Previously on Light Fortress...
The word "kill" had just settled, and the Red Dragon Luo Er and Rust Bone immediately sprang into action!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Three piercing sounds roared before the giant wall.
Zhou Jiren expanded the [Holy Wood], enveloping the North Continent Giant Wall defense line with Origin Power. He did not participate in this pursuit but, instead, took the disciple Zhong Wei to defend this battlefield, entered those two starships, and began clearing the remaining Sacrificials!
He knew this war had already ended.
The final chase... did not require him.
...
...
The Void Portal was shattered!
Two Quasi-Gods and a Great Success Origin were pursuing the "Traveler Tribe" in the void... without any pressure throughout the process.
Because this target was just too huge, too easy to capture.
In order to survive, Deep Sea could unhesitatingly discard any "burden."
If Rust Bone and others were capturing the chaotic aura of the "Traveler Tribe," it would have already tossed aside those awakened "core clansmen." If it had to make a choice, it could even abandon core clansmen of the "Gray Dragon" level as sacrifices!
But the problem is...
The target aura Rust Bone captured was the "Silver Fox."
While Red Dragon and Luo Er were fixated on the "Black Snow Mountain Giant"!
These two Origin auras were simply too eye-catching; the Black Snow Mountain Giant was something Deep Sea could not possibly discard... The big one carried the Traveler’s Stele and the "Traveler’s True Body" it seized, abandoning the Black Snow Mountain Giant would be tantamount to pleading guilty and accepting punishment.
Eventually, Deep Sea reached that Calamity Barrier it once lured Silver Fox into years ago.
It knew it couldn’t escape anymore.
The battle in Central Continent, it lost miserably.
This battle... was the same.
The Traveler Tribe landed on this shattered land, followed closely by Rust Bone, Luo Er, and Red Dragon. They sealed the void of this Calamity Barrier, preventing Deep Sea from escaping. In fact, Deep Sea already had no escape route; even if it activated a teleport array pattern, it had nowhere to go... The Traveler Tribe was used as a sacrificial pawn by it during the North Continent war and was mostly depleted.
Low-level Sacrificials almost died out, all left on the frontier.
As for those core clansmen... they also suffered heavy casualties.
The reason Deep Sea seemed omnipotent, nearly god-like, was because it had a large number of Linkers; everyone here was an extremely loyal Believer.
To kill a god, besides directly killing the god itself, there’s another harsher, more domineering way.
That is to kill off all the god’s Believers.
To Deep Sea... losing Believers is no different from dying.
"Not running anymore?"
Rust Bone spoke expressionlessly, his tone full of sarcasm.
His murderous intent was the heaviest!
Whether it was the White Lizard or the Silver Fox, the two comrades he was closest to in this life both "died" under Deep Sea’s machinations! If not for the cultivation in the Time Dojo, which had calmed his mind... he would have drawn his sword against the Black Snow Mountain Giant on the Northern Continent Border before!
"Not running anymore."
A gentle sigh emanated from the Stele carried on the back of the Black Snow Mountain Giant.
The sigh was full of self-deprecation.
"You’ve pursued all along but haven’t dealt a killing blow... I suppose it’s not out of ’fear of battle,’ but to spare my life."
Deep Sea chuckled and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you and Gu Shen are still in Spiritual Link, right?"
It guessed correctly, for here... though they had already traveled far from the Fortress.
But for the Fire Leader, it wasn’t too far.
With the starship as a link point providing spiritual relay, both Red Dragon and Luo Er could communicate spiritually with Gu Shen.
The two exchanged glances, reading the intent in each other’s eyes.
Indeed.
They didn’t hasten to kill [Deep Sea], because they knew... this victory was assured; instead of swiftly killing [Deep Sea], they wanted to gather more information by tracking the Traveler Tribe’s escape route.
After today, the Traveler Clan would be erased from existence!
This tribe had drifted in the [Old World] for so long, surely it had mapped out many complex maps in the Spirit Sea!
Simply killing [Deep Sea] would be a significant loss!
This is the reason why, although they were chasing, they were not in a hurry.
"Very well... since you’re not going to kill me, you should at least let me say a few words."
Deep Sea laid it bare with a smile: "I know I can’t escape... but if you want a bloody battle, I’m willing to oblige."
The words came to an end.
Silver Fox and Black Snow Mountain Giant each stepped forward.
This was also a reason why Red Dragon and Luo Er didn’t immediately act... When it comes to the number of top Transcendents mastering Origin, they had three on their side, while Deep Sea had only two.
Three against two, no matter in terms of quantity or quality, their side had a significant advantage, but if it came to a fight to the death, "damage" was inevitable.
Here, "damage" didn’t mean Red Dragon and Luo Er feared being injured themselves.
But rather, they feared... that in an all-out battle, the Silver Fox General’s body might directly perish!
Rust Bone General strictly adhered to Gu Shen’s instructions, awakening everyone in the Time Dojo as they approached the North Continent, but his uneasy demeanor was evident to all... Everyone knew where Rust Bone’s "uneasiness" stemmed from, Red Dragon and Luo Er privately communicated through sound transmission, if possible, they hoped that this battle could preserve the Silver Fox’s body while also retrieving the Silver Fox’s spirit!
"What do you want to say?"
Luo Er asked coldly.
"I want to see Gu Shen... I have something to say to him."
