Nightmare's Call

Chapter 563 Liquidation: Part 3

Very quickly, by afternoon, Lin Sheng had arrived at Fortress City One.And the moment he arrived, he had sensed a huge, vibrant city from afar, like a huge complex machinery that was slowly operating.

Lin Sheng did not approach, but simply just looked at the city from afar in the midst.

This place seemed to be safe, and did not encounter any attacks from Annihilatus.

But the soaring city walls had gray marks left by the black water.

“Thank goodness... This place was probably lucky that it avoided the gaze of Annihilatus.” Lin Sheng was satisfied.

Now equipped with the ability to freely move around in the Blactide, his mind too came alive.

“Now, since I’ve nothing better to do, might as well go to the Astral Mere for some payback.”

The Astral Mere had been using all sorts of means, and eventually even attempted to subvert the Sanctum. If not for the isolation caused by the Blacktide, and Lin Sheng had no means to deal with them, they would have long been destroyed by him.

Now that the leader of the Astral Mere had been killed, it was now a good time to deal with this mysterious organization.

Without any hesitation, Lin Sheng immediately established the soul link, and got the Thunderbeast to look for the Holy Sanctum’s Intelligence Department.

While the Intelligence Department was unable to deal with the Astral Mere due to the Blacktide, the collection of intel had never stopped.

Aside from retaliation, Lin Sheng also wanted to try to see if he could get his hands on anything from the Astral Mere that could help against the Blacktide.

That old man’s ability for predicting the future was coveted by Lin Sheng.

If he could master this ability, then he could have better control of the overall situation across the whole world.

Prediction of the future was not only useful to predict oncoming disasters, but also use to foresee opportunities.

Just like how the Sacred Vessels of Destiny were previous foreseen.

Following the constant escalation of the Blacktide’s threat, that even the demigods too finally fell to it, and that created a strong sense of crisis within Lin Sheng’s mind.

So he had pursued improvement of his strength in a frenzy as he furiously sought any strength that may fight against the Blacktide.

And soon, through the soul link, Lin Sheng got the general direction of the Astral Mere’s location from the Intelligence Department.

He then flew straight towards that direction.

Two hours later.

Within the black mist above a vast ocean.

Lin Sheng floated in the air, and waited quietly.

Based on the intel, this was the area where Astral Mere’s personnel would go in and out of.

So as long as he waited here quietly, someone would eventually come in or out of this place.

RAAAAHHH....

From the Blacktide, a black one-horn snake that looked like a dragon flashed past.

It soon noticed Lin Sheng who was floating in the air, as it turned a corner, as it hid its presence and rushed towards him with its head bowed.

That beast actually wanted to use its sturdy horn aimed at Lin Sheng for a sneak attack.

Lin Sheng did not even took notice of the monster’s sneak attack.

BAMM!!

In an instant, the snake monster seemed to charge headlong into a bottomless hole and disappeared before Lin Sheng.

At the same time, a small grey-brown bead appeared beside him.

Lin Sheng reached out and squeezed the bead as he gently melding it into his armor.

This monster had some considerable strength, and was about a six-wing level, and was worth for him to take it to be a guardian creature.

Time slowly passed.

About three hours later, Lin Sheng’s cloak was already covered in a dense layer of black crystal-like beads.

Looking all mysterious and awe-inspiring.

Three more grey beads had appeared on his armor. That meant that in that period of time, three more six-wing level monsters had attacked him.

After waiting for a long time, finally an extremely weak pulsing spread out subtly from about a hundred meters away.

“About time!” Lin Sheng mused.

No one knew where the Astral Mere was, just like his disciple Adolf said. The Astral Mere was extremely vigilant, and even when their own people goes in and out, they had to constant change their exits, and needed to have someone inside to bring them in.

Now without the vigilance stemming from the Wise King’s predictions, this was the best time to deal with the Astral Mere.

Lin Sheng though that much.

After all, he had waited in the Blacktide for so long just for this moment.

He moved closer and from afar saw a space above the sea began to distort.

Before long, a dim white light slowly lit up in the dark mist.

Two slim figures seemed to be coming out of the light.

Lin Sheng’s figure blurred as he cross the distance of hundreds of meters with extreme speed, and before the two girls could respond, he rush passed them and entered into the white light beside them.

“What’s that? What had intruded!! ”

The Astral Mere’s Hidden Realm, which was peaceful a moment later, suddenly rose in ear-piercing alarm.

Mayuko, as the temporary leader in the absence of the Wise King rushed out of the practice room at the first moment.

“What’s wrong?” She looked up at the the massive six-Leaf Tower, and after determining that there was nothing there, she quickly contacted the rest of those in charge of the defenses eslewhere with her communicator.

But what puzzled her was that the alarm seemed to had malfunctioned, as there were no incursions by any enemies or monsters.

“Perhaps it is really old, and that was just a false positives. No matter.” Mayuko walked to the main control center and checked the equipment and determined that there was no problem with the surveillance.

The entire Astral Mere’s Hidden Realm was a vast and empty pure white city.

The city that was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people had only about three digits worth of people in it.

Thus the large area naturally had very sparse population across its length.

The entire wall of the Hidden Realm was a dark, flowing liquid.

Lin Sheng floated high in the air, his cloak coered in black crystal beads fluttered in the air.

“This is the Astral Mere?” The eyes underneath his helmet looked at the white city below.

In the middle of the city, was a tower with a six-leaf windmill attracted his immediate attention.

“This was what the Wise King had used to predict the everything?” Lin Sheng slowly moved towards the tower.

As for whether he would be detected or not, he did not care.

If he was not discovered earlier, it was because he was too fast.

Right before the tower was a rough little hut.

An old man shrouded in thick black robe sat like a statue on the bed unmoving as he took long breaths inbetween.

Suddenly he seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes wide.

“Who goes there!??” The old man yelled as his figure floated out of the hut and looked to the sky.

At the same time, the undisguised Lin Sheng floating in the air soon attracted the attentions of the other elites in the area.

Mayuko’s figure appeared at the top of a tall building as she stared coldly at the sky above her.

Another tall man in black body armor with two giant axes in hands slowly walked out of the building as his eyes glowed in red as he stared at Lin Sheng.

The three strongest people in the city had all appeared at the same time as they stared at the white armored person with deadly intent.

Tungus mixed into the ground as he looked at Lin Sheng in the air. He was not one of the captains, and his strength was unlike them as well, so he did not step up at the first instance.

“That’s....!!” This was the Hidden Realm of the Astral Mere, and someone had invaded it?

He was dumbstruck.

This was a completely isolated space.

But before he could react, the bone blade on Tungus’ back shook slowly.

“It’s him.... !!? Boy... if you don’t want to die, find a place to hide!” The tone of the bone blade had neven been heavier.

“It can’t be...” Tungus was stunned. “That serious?”

“Yes...that serious.” The bone blade’s tone had a trace of haste. “That person... was the man who had ruined the world I was in...”

“And I was defeated by his hands during my heyday.”

“Destroyed a world...You gotta be shitting me??” Tungus had originally planned to help Mayuko at first, but after hearing the words of his master, he hesitated and had the mind to back away.

“Based on the information I had collected all these while. The person may be the supreme Holy Emperor of the Holy Sanctum, he in fact has another identity. The Darkspirit King, overlord of the Darkspirit Realm. But that person actually had the ridiculous audacity to change the name of the Darkspirits into Holyspirits, and the Darkspirit Palance into the Holyspirit Palace, thinknig that no one would see through his shameless ambitions?” The bone blade sneered.

“Then what should I do?” Tungus felt a little frightened.

Emperor or Holiness be damned, these titles sounds like they were so outlandish that they were beyond him.

“I was the Darkspirit King that once unified the world. If I want to help you escape undetected, I could do that, as long as you listen to my every command.” The bone blade rumbled.

“Master... didn’t you say that you can no longer use your soul powers?” Tungus’ expression changed. “I’ll find a way to escape myself! I don’t need your help!”

“No worries, I can still hold on.” The bone blade calmly said. Through Tungus’ eyes, he looked up at the white figure floating in the air.

Even if it had been a long time, the horror the man wrought back then was still fresh in his mind.

“The world is too small...”
