Chapter 307 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Dark Emperor

The ground shook heavily as cracks spread out and it separated the third-year area.

Boom!

Slowly, the entire ground started to float while the magic circle was shining brightly. Waves of mana were sweeping out of the whole city like a heartbeat.

Thud! Thud!

Yanagi, Mia, Rein, and the other people in the institute stopped fighting as they turned their heads and saw a shocking scene.

An entire place moving upwards was absolutely stunning. It was like a floating fortress of the angel race. Thick and gigantic chains could be seen beneath the fortress and it was connected to something deep underground.

Dense energy was coating the gigantic chains. This energy could be seen by the n.a.k.e.d eye. The power within it was so drastic that sparks made of mana flew out of it every second.

The forces of Ladros City and the Seven Deadly Sins were shocked. None of them didn’t plan this kind of development.

"Ufufu, what’s happening to my Souta?" Yanagi chuckled as she looked at the third-year area with interest in her eyes.

The entire third-year area flew five hundred meters above the surface as the barrier turned into tiny particles.

"What is happening there...?" Lumilia muttered in a low voice. She immediately regained her senses as she glanced at the expression of the Seven Deadly Sins.

She saw that they were also shocked. It only means that they were not the reason of the floating land above the city. She recalled what Souta said to her before.

"Someone other than the Seven Deadly Sins is here."

She forcefully shook her head and shouted, "Everyone attack. This is our chance to attack while our enemies are distracted."

She wanted to know what’s going on but her priority was pushing back the enemies. She could only hope that Souta was safe.

...

A person wearing a normal white shirt and black pants was looking at the floating land with an amused expression.

He had short black messy hair and a pair of thick glasses.

"I came here to here when I heard that the Seven Deadly Sins were going to attack this city but I didn’t expect this development."

He muttered as he adjusted his glasses and observed the gigantic chains which were connected to the floating land and the place beneath the pit.

"Even I didn’t know such thing was sleeping beneath this place. It seems that it came from the era before this current one. One thousand years ago... maybe much more distant than that one."

He combed his hair behind his head and grinned. One could see a lion tattoo on the back of his palm. It was the symbol of Leo, one of the zodiac signs.

"I’ll look closer to it. The Zodiacs will appear once again and everyone will know our name.

"Everything is for my dream... I will make it true no matter what."

...

A man with blonde hair came out of the underground of arena. He looked at the floating land with a serious expression on his face.

He a six-circle officer of the Seven Deadly Sins didn’t know what’s happening. Their plan was just to destroy this city but this floating land was giving him a dangerous feeling.

"Someone is moving behind our backs."

He muttered as a smile formed on his face. If he didn’t have an important mission, he would go there and try to replace who dared to disrupt their plan.

He shook his head and looked at the red gems on his hand. These were the bloodstones that this city was protecting. His mission was to retrieve these stones and delivered it back to their lord.

This was their real goal in attacking this city. Destroying everyone who disrupted them in Ibish village was just the secondary plan.

"Still, it’s been a while since we have a large-scale operation like this one, and to think that our target was a city under the rule of a large country. It’s pretty exciting."

He strode forward and started to walk away from the arena. The people who were guarding the bloodstones were all dead.

...

"Great Being...? Tell me how powerful it is..."

Souta asked as he stood on top of the rubble while looking around with a wary expression.

He was on the floating land and this situation was unknown to him so he could only rely on Saya’s knowledge.

’The sealing spell that was used was called [Tactical God Sealing] spell. From its name, you could understand that this spell was designed to seal a god-level powerhouse. That’s not all, that chains were called gleipnir.’ Saya said to him.

"Gleipnir? As in that heavenly chain from Asgard..." Souta frowned when he heard it.

’You know the history from the God’s Continent... I didn’t need to explain that much. I’ve got to say that chains weren’t the real gleipnir. It was only a prototype as the real one was binding the World Wolf Fenrir.’ Saya spoke calmly.

"Yeah..." Souta nodded his head. He knew the World Wolf from his past life. It was one of the most powerful and fiercest monster lords in the god’s continent. In the war on the god’s continent, the World Wolf wreaked havoc in every corner of the land.

’But that chains didn’t lack a powerful sealing ability. In fact, the [Tactical God Sealing] spell made it more powerful than the original gleipnir. So the being that was sealed using these powerful seals wasn’t an ordinary god.’ Saya explained to him.

"In other words, a powerful god-level powerhouse was going to wake up at any moment," Souta said as he saw a silhouette from the thick smoke twenty meters away from him.

’Yes, but you should settle your business with that person first.’ Saya said.

Randolf walked out of the smoke and he looked at Souta with an amused expression.

Hmm...?

Something was wrong with Randolf. Souta couldn’t feel anything from him as if he was just an ordinary person.

’Souta, this is bad. Prepare yourself. This person is out of your league.’ Saya said in an alarmed tone.

After a few moments, a powerful and dense black aura burst out of Randolf’s body. It was overwhelming and Souta couldn’t help but took a step back.

Boom!

The energy level was rising rapidly without stopping. He was already strong from the beginning but now... It was something clearly above Souta’s level.

The liquefied mana flowed out before it spun around and turned black visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

Crack!

Suddenly, Souta felt that he couldn’t move his body. This mana around him was solid and it was restricting his movements.

’This... A solidified mana.... A mana capable of crushing people into dust...’ He gritted his teeth as he circulates his own mana but he found that he still couldn’t move under this pressure.

’If you can’t hold it anymore just tell me. I’ll fight in your stead.’ Saya told him in a serious tone.

An S-rank was too strong for the current Souta and she knew it too well. That’s why she prepared herself to control Souta’s body and expends her energy. But... doing this means that she would fell asleep once again just like what happened on the Fersch Dukedom when she controlled his body.

That’s not a bad choice for her. It’s better than letting Souta died.

Randolf’s purple hair turned black and black marking spread on his body as a small black bead formed on the center of his forehead. His eyes also turned into pitch black.

Souta’s eyes constricted when he saw this scene. He shivered as he recalled a certain memory from the game.

That appearance, form, aura, and demeanor were all familiar to him. Also, that black crystal on the center of his forehead. In the whole universe, there were three crystals that have the same power as that crystal on his forehead.

The first one was from the emperor of the Red Crystal Empire.

The second one was from the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace.

The third one was a rogue god from the Ruin Desolate Continent.

But to think that he would replace the last holder of that crystal.

’So you’re that person all along...’ Souta thought while suppressing the shock in his heart.

The fourth holder of the Luminary Crystal, the Dark Emperor ’Zargon’.

One of the most powerful NPC in the game that will make an appearance in the later version at the Mars Archipelago.
