Gacha Sovereign Chapter 251: Ant Nes

Chapter 251: Ant Nes

251 Ant Nes

Alex descended to the ground.

"What do you mean about two Martial Kings? Do you mean the Zhou Kingdom secretly has two Martial Kings? And why do they want to kill you?" Putri grabbed his shoulder and asked hurriedly.

"..." Alex was confused about which question to answer first. He said, "Calm down first."

"Ah!"

"Anyway, I have my own network for information. And yeah, they have two Martial Kings. Maybe after this, Senior Sister should inform the sect about it. But maybe because of those two Martial Kings. The sect can't act openly.

"As for other sects, I doubt they will help before confirming there are indeed two Martial Kings in the Zhou Kingdom. As for why they want to kill me... they must have framed me, this is only a guess though." Alex explained.

"..." She was surprised to hear such information. Even the sect didn't have information like that, but Alex had it? She almost forgot about that too. She asked, "You... Do you really have a Pure Fire Element?"

"!!!" When Putri asked that question, Anna and Fabio started clenching their weapon.

Alex also noticed the anxiety of Anna and Fabio, but he smiled at Putri and said, "Yeah, you are right. Senior Sister wants my Sacrificial Fire?"

Putri shook her head immediately, "No, I just want to say sorry. If you really have a Pure Fire Element, I shouldn't consider you as a monster. It is normal for you to have this kind of progress. And I also should make a Heavenly Oath again. With Heaven and Earth as a witness..."

She made another Heavenly Oath again like when she swore to protect his Array Master secret. Anna and Fabio relaxed a bit after hearing that Heavenly Oath.

"So, what will you do about the Zhou Kingdom? After killing their second prince, they will try to kill you too."

"It's fine. If they want to come, then come, but they should not expect mercy from me," Alex said with a smile. He added another thing in his heart, 'They didn't want to let me off anyway because of that golden lightning.'

"Alright, if you say so. If you need help, just ask, I will help you," Putri said. Then she remembered their original intention in staying here, "That's right. Are you going to breakthrough now?"

"Yes," Alex didn't say anything about the underground pa.s.sage. Although he could see it, he wasn't sure that it would be opened. He wanted to stay here after that green energy approached this place.

If the entrance didn't open, Alex would use his s.p.a.ce Gate to go inside or break this whole ground.

Alex consolidated his cultivation for a few days. Anna and Fabio cleared the monsters in their surroundings. Sherry, Kyle, and Putri protected him up close. After a few days, Putri started getting anxious.

When they reached a week mark, Putri started walking around. They only had a week to go to catch up with the others.

Alex opened his eyes for a bit to see the green energy had gotten far closer than before. He speculated that it might need two or three days before it reached the place.

A few days later, Putri looked at Alex while tapping her feet. She was dying to go to the white building. She was thinking about going alone since Anna and Fabio even his pets protected him. She shook her head on that idea. She was still responsible for her task, which was to protect Alex.

Alex finally opened his eyes.

"Alex, have you done?" Putri asked anxiously.

"It's come." Alex only said those words with a mysterious tone.

"What's co-" Before she finished her words, a green array appeared on the ground next to them. She couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"

"You are searching for the entrance, right? There you have it." Alex said while pus.h.i.+ng her to the array.

Alex also followed from behind. Sherry and Kyle went inside his body while Anna and Fabio came back and entered the array.

It was a teleportation array that teleported them twenty meters underground.

After entering the array, they were in free fall. Judging from the energy, they will fall for another thirty meters. Of course, with that high, they managed to land safely.

"Alex, what is this place? What is that array? What do you mean by the entrance... Don't tell me..."

"Yeah, you are right. It is indeed the array that everyone is searching for."

Putri covered her mouth with her hand in astonishment. The entrance to the white building that they dreamed about was actually near the west gate?

Alex looked to the front. Many crystals started to light up, and the pa.s.sage brightened.

"I will tell the others." Putri was still thinking about her fake fiance. Well, she didn't know, so he was still a good fiance in her eyes.

Alex grabbed her hand while shaking his head. "You can't go out now."

"Why... why didn't you tell the others about this?" Putri asked desperately. If Alex had figured this out, why didn't he say anything?

"First, even if I told them about it, will they believe me?"

"They..."

"Second, If they do believe me, then what? After entering here, what will they do to me? Judging from their att.i.tude toward me, they might kill me after I served my purpose!"

"They..."

"And you expect me to trust them after they acted like that to me?"

"..." Putri couldn't say anything to his remarks. Even if they didn't kill Alex, Alex's share might be small compared to others, saying that he was only a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster.

Putri sighed. If this pa.s.sage were indeed the entrance to the white building, she would just share her own reward in this with the others.

"How do you know about this pa.s.sage?" Putri asked.

"..." Alex glanced at her before answering her question, "Let me tell you about a story between two men inside a mine. These two men started mining at the same time.

"They kept mining for a few days but didn't get anything yet. Until one day, the first man got a good gem from the mine. After getting that gem, the first man finished his job and got out of the mine.

"After the second man looked at the first man who managed to find a gem in his spot, what do you think the second man did?"

"He... started mining at the first man's spot?" Putri said, a bit unsure.

"Indeed. The second man started mining in the first man's spot. He didn't know that in the first man's spot, it only had that gem while the rest was only ordinary stones, neither he knew that his spot was actually filled with gems that were bigger and not only one but more."

Putri gasped when she heard the story. She asked, "Then do you mean that the people around the white building were like that second person? They were entranced by the small gem and didn't know there was a bountiful spot beneath them?

If they waited here more than a week, would they find the pa.s.sage and get a far higher reward?"

"Something like that," Alex nodded. "Anyway, let's go."

Alex started walking while Putri was still in astonishment before snapping from her daze and chased them.

Four of them walked together since Alex didn't recall Anna and Fabio back to the cards. It was a long pa.s.sage.

Alex had activated his Spirit Eyes from the start, and he didn't notice anything unusual. The pa.s.sage was strange, it was like a human-made pa.s.sage, but it was not a human's handiwork.

Alex suddenly saw a numerous amount of energy approaching them.? "They are coming, but I don't know what they are!" Alex shouted.

In Alex's eyes, he could vaguely see the shape of them. It was close to that creature but far bigger. After all, he couldn't believe it when he saw their figure, "Ants?"

He also saw their strength. The weakest of them was 6-Star Martial Grandmaster.

They were on a broader s.p.a.ce right now. It had a fifty meter s.p.a.ce in diameter. They could see a few tunnels in this room. Alex immediately recognized it, "Ant Nest!"

"!!!" Anna and the others were surprised. But before they could react, they heard the sound of Ants.

"Cree Cree!"

The black colored ants were a meter high with five meters length. They were really ants, but giant ants. He looked at their big mouth. Those bites might hurt very much.

The ants started crawling out of tunnels. Alex was wondering if he should call Nelson and Greg. But he refrained from doing it for the time being. If push comes to shove, he would summon them.

Since Putri already knew about his Pure Fire, he didn't hold back anymore. He released his Pure Fire along with his sword. He also released his Sword Domain.

Putri did the same. She summoned her spear Domain. Alex had seen this domain in the fight with Zhou Kingdom's people.

"Anna, Fabio, no need to hold back. Kill them all."

"Understood."

"Sherry, use my fire and burn them all."

"Wuu!"

After ordering them, he jumped forward to meet those ants. When he came in front of the ants, he thought once again, 'It is really big.'

The ant in front of him tried to bite him. Alex only waved his sword.

"Seven Stars Cut!"

[EXP+ 8000]

[EXP+ 10000]

[EXP+ 7500]

...

He hadn't used this move for quite a while. After entering 5-Star Martial Grandmaster, Alex could use five layers Seven Stars Cut. He might be able to use six layers before the Inner Disciple Tournament and seven layers after he reached Martial Lord.

Even so, this five layers Seven Stars Cut alone were powerful enough. It cut through every ant that stood on its way. After seeing that power, Alex was thinking about using it horizontally. Since the ant didn't fly and they were restricted to this room. It was easy to kill multiple ants with that move.

Anna and Fabio were rampaging inside the crowd of ants. Putri also killed some, but not as insane as Anna and Fabio.

"Boom Boom Boom!" A few explosions appeared after Sherry rained the ants with firebirds.

Kyle didn't partic.i.p.ate since he wasn't strong enough. But with enough time, he would also become stronger.

They continued to kill the ants, but the ants continued coming toward them. They had killed around a few hundred ants in an hour.

Anna and Fabio didn't recklessly use their Spiritual Energy as it might be a long fight like the one in Onsul Town.

It might be easier if Leoz, Nelson, and Greg were here, but it was only for the last resort. After another hour, Putri was starting to get exhausted from the continuous usage of Spiritual Energy.

Alex didn't use too much Spiritual Energy as much as her since he was relying on his brute strength this entire time while some occasional Sword Arts.

But Sherry had stopped bombarding them because she used her Spiritual Energy to summon those firebirds. In fact, it was really useful as she was the one who contributed the most in these two hours.

"I see the last ant, only three hundred left," Alex shouted after seeing the last ant with his Spirit Eyes.

After hearing that, Anna and Fabio used their Spiritual Energy to the fullest.

They finished in almost thirty minutes. Putri fell down to the ground, tired. Well, it can be expected since she might not have experienced fighting many monsters this way.

"System, can I invite Senior Sister inside the Spirit Nest?"

[You can, but the other party would see the EXPs and Gacha Tickets notification too. You could ask Sherry and Kyle if they got the notification. System is sure that they got it. If you decided to add her, then System would be exposed]

"... Let's just put that on hold."

He didn't mind if she saw his Pure Fire or his spear, but he didn't want to let her see his Gacha System. After all, it was his biggest secret.

"We will recover our Spiritual Energy here," Alex said while making a barrier with his array. Its purpose was to block the smell of blood from the ants.

Putri started recovering her Spiritual Energy. She was surprised to see Alex's battle prowess. Although, in a one-on-one fight, Alex might not be able to win her yet. But in her eyes, it wasn't that far.

After all, in a one-on-one fight, they could easily dodge his attack. Putri thought there was still a few months before the Tournament. Alex might have reached 7 or 8-Star Martial Grandmaster.
