Chapter 265: Crazy
"…" Lucian looked back at the woman, then nodded; without wasting any time, he walked into the Chasm, since it had already been cleared before, so after he entered it didn't lock, but several women stood guard outside.Stepping into a completely new place, Lucian calmly observed it.
He had asked the leader of the Pendulum to arrange a Chasm with enough creatures inside; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to reach the next level.
The whole land was damp with sticky liquid; just standing normally made Lucian's feet sink into it.
Just after entering, he felt several penetrating gazes locked onto him, since humans had been coming through the chasms to hunt these creatures, so they had probably already made some kind of plans to defend and kill the intruders.'I almost feel bad for them; anyway, I don't want to stay at this place for long,' Lucian thought, looking down at his shoes that were completely covered in the sticky fluid.Despite waiting, no attack came to him; either the other party was waiting for him to make a move or they had probably set up some trap, but even all the creatures combined were nothing in comparison with Lucian's current strength."Velm, clear the entire planet; don't leave anyone alive here." Lucian spoke as he raised both his hands. Red fluid with intricate black tattoos rushed out and soon turned into two giant figures, standing tall almost like human figures, as black flames danced around them while countless small beetles crawled over their surfaces.This was a deadly combo, combining the power of Velm, the flames of corruption, and the tiny beetles.
With Lucian's current strength, he could easily control the two figures at the same time— even if they were a large distance away from him— and without the need for any further energy, the two giants could cause havoc for at least a day unless they were attacked by something stronger.Understanding Lucian's command, the two figures moved at full speed, letting the black flames flow around them endlessly and turning even the ground dry.
As the two figures arrived, the creatures that were hiding became uneasy.Lucian was hiding his aura so they couldn't guess exactly how strong he was, but these two giants contained explosive strength; the bodies of all the creatures froze in fear, with many turning and trying to flee while some couldn't move.Lucian formed large red wings behind his back as he began to float in the air, looking down calmly as the creatures of this planet were all being slaughtered by his killing machines; meanwhile, the fog kept rushing into his body, being absorbed at an astronomical rate.Some of the creatures were crushed by the giant figures, while many were eaten alive by the tiny beetle insects, and the flame of corruption turned their bodies into nothingness as soon as they came in contact with it; only the fog contained in their bodies remained."With this speed, we will be done quite soon," Lucian mumbled, quite satisfied with the performance these two figures displayed.[Yeah, they are magnificent; it's hard to believe you are just at the 5th phase of evolution right now. Even someone at the 6th phase of evolution might not be your match; these flames are only going to become more dangerous in the future.]Lucian agreed with Zero; these flames were the most terrifying amongst all the abilities he possessed. If, by some chance, things were to turn against him someday, Lucian wasn't sure if he could deal with the flames of corruption.'I guess I have to increase my strength so that I can reach an even higher level, even without the use of these flames. Sometimes it's hard to control them; if my strength is high enough, I will be able to have complete control over them,' Lucian thought with a solemn expression, and instantly a crazy idea came to his mind.He wasn't sure if it would work or if it might even endanger his life, but if it succeeded, he might be able to obtain energy much higher than he had originally come here looking for.
Taking a deeper breath, he landed.Letting the two giants continue their rampage, Lucian created a seat for himself with Velm and then sat on it cross legged; he closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Two long red tentacles came out of his back, rushing high into the sky, becoming as thick as the trunks of trees, covered by condensed black flames.Calming his mind, Lucian decided to give this dangerous thought a try; using all the strength he could muster, he brought the tips of the two tentacles rushing down towards the ground, increasing the speed of their descent to the maximum he could achieve— even using the slowing ability of the flames to affect the air around the tentacles to further increase their speed.BOOM BOOMIn an instant, the two tentacles crashed down, using all the gathered kinetic force and the energy gathered inside to tear apart the land as they rushed deeper and deeper into it.
Lucian kept pouring his energy into Velm, increasing the length and force of the tentacles as they moved down towards the core of the planet.He even used the fog he was absorbing from the dead creatures of this planet and gave it all to Velm, letting it move closer and closer to the core of the planet.
As dangerous as this task was, the reward would be astronomically high.After sensing what Lucian planned to do, even Zero was shocked. He planned to absorb the entire energy of the planet itself, turning it all into ruin; the whole planet would be eradicated and soon turn into nothing more than giant rocks.[H- Have you finally gone crazy? Why is every day with you becoming a dance with death? Yesterday you were about to die from snu snu, and now you are literally planning to commit suicide.]Lucian completely ignored Zero's words, and after a few minutes of pouring energy madly, the tentacles had finally reached deep enough—the core of the planet, where the entire energy was concentrated.
The sheer amount was so vast that Lucian froze for a moment.[A- At least let me prepare myself for death; it's something new for me, even though you might be used to it, or maybe you can throw me away into the Chasm for all the help I have given you so far?
I beg of you, Sir Lucian, oh Lucian the Great, I beg thy pweaseeeee show mercy to this poor one.
Sob, sob. He isn't even listening to me; looks like these are going to be the last words I am going to write. If only—if only I could have a second chance, then I would be reborn as the main character myself.]Zero's pleas fell on deaf ears—or rather, deaf eyes—as Lucian continued with the deadly task.All the while, the two giants made by Velm slaughtered all the creatures without any mercy; Lucian only needed to give them one command, and then they moved on on their own, possessing a certain amount of intelligence.
