Chapter 1068: Civil War 2
Planet Scarlet Snow, over north of Sahar City.
A black submarine-like huge spaceship slowly emerged in the air. It was covered with faint silver light, an indication that it had just came back from space.
However, the people from the city below did not notice this ship. There was an invisible barrier above the mortal's city, as such, they are unable to see anything from the outside world.
The spaceship turned around unwieldy and headed towards the Black Wolf Lair in Planet Scarlet Snow.
In the spaceship's general control office, Garen was going through the information related to the spaceship.
The entire spaceship was 328 meters long and 189 meters wide. Considered as a small warship, it had an extraordinarily luxurious interior configuration.
The top floor had a restaurant, the general control office, event hall, swimming pool, an area each for logistics and entertainment, a cold storage area among the storage space, and a huge spaceship level engine. It can withstand a Level-Five heavy armor pressure. The Level-Five armor was a self-recirculating armor that cannot be broken by a Level-Five pilot who was controlling a mech. As long as the energy furnace is still running, it will not be destroyed.
This spaceship was still brand new and was extremely costly. Garen did not know exactly how much it would cost, but an ordinary small warship was worth tens of thousands of crystals, and this ship should be worth at least a few hundred thousands of crystals.
The entire spaceship could be used as a mobile living base, which was very convenient.
He had an urge to drive the spaceship and escape from the energy machinists' reach and bring along his relatives to seek refuge. However, he was aware that the war between the Red King and the White King greatly affected the two huge races and countless star regions. It was impossible to avoid it. As a relative of Baylon, and the most important person to Baylon, the White King will definitely not let him go.
The spaceship landed swiftly on the Black Wolf Lair. Its massive presence attracted the attention of Scarlet Snow disciples and causing a commotion.
Such a big spaceship was rarely owned by anyone from the Scarlet Snow Sect. Everyone was using a miniature spaceship and only the top few disciples were using such a huge vehicle.
When they saw Garen stepping out of it, everyone was at ease. It was not an exaggeration for a tyrannical genius who was second to Carthage to possess such spaceship.
"Garen!"
With a swoosh sound, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of Garen's spaceship.
It was Third Senior Sister, Eva, who had a furious look on her face.
"Was it you! Was it you who injured Aloran fatally!"
"Aloran?" Garen frowned slightly. "What are you talking about? Third Senior Sister."
Eva was in a white dress, she had a short sword in her hand. She was trembling with rage.
"Drop the act!"
Swoosh!
A glaring blue light flashed, Eva suddenly struck with the sword. A terrifying energy condensed into a bundle of chill air seemed to have made the short sword look longer, and she swept it towards Garen's waist.
A crashing sound was heard, but the elongated, blue light sword missed and caught onto nothing. It immediately froze the space where Garen was initially standing and instantly shattered it into innumerable pieces.
Garen's figure appeared behind Eva.
"Third Senior Sister, I don't understand what you are talking about. Aloran is fatally injured? But what does that have to do with me?"
"The wounds on her body was caused by a horrifying heat energy. Who else other than you is capable to use that technique in the Scarlet Snow Sect!?" Eva waved her light sword and attacked once again.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Several bright, blue lights flashed consecutively. With his current physical fitness level alone, Garen would be able to crush Eva completely. She might have reached the Inherited Level, but her physical fitness was far weaker than that of Garen.
"Antlers! Light of Oblivion!!" Eva swerved around suddenly, and her Inherited Level force field quickly condensed into a majestic stag. As the stag lowered its head, dozens of blue light beams burst out of its antlers aiming towards Garen.
Each of these beams was black on the inside and blue on the outside, even the air that it passed through left behind traces of space cracks.
Eva was serious this time, as she was using an Inherited Level Strength of Origin Technique!
Bang!
A beam of light grazed through a withered tree on the Black Wolf Lair. Instantly, the tree exploded turning into countless pieces of crushed ice bullets.
Boom boom boom!!
All the places swept by the light beam exploded into a countless amount of white-blue crushed ice. All the crushed ice blasted violently with an Inherited Level force field and a bullet-like speed.
"Come!"
Eva shouted loudly, and there was a hint of murderous intention in her eyes.
"Since everything started because of me, then I will be the one to end this mistake!!" She seemed desperate and she had made up her mind.
Countless beams of light headed towards Garen, and it seemed like it all gathered around him concurrently.
From the view above, it looked like a large number of blue light beams were lunging extremely fast towards Garen.
Garen was about to dodge when he detected a faint, mysterious breath.
"Dual Prison Lock!"
He decided to not dodge the attack. Taking out the blue sword from its sheath on his waist, he drew a black circle around him with the sword's black threads.
Chi chi chi chi...
Sounding like leaked air currents, all the blue light beams were destroyed and shattered in the air by Dual Prison Lock.
Chi!
However, a small piece of shattered ice carrying the terrifying Inherited Level force field heavily cut across Garen's face. If he did not dodge his head in time, that piece will probably pierce through his head.
'She's serious in wanting to kill me...'
A trace of scarlet-colored blood flowed out of his wound. Garen reached out his hand to touch the wound, and the look in his eyes gradually got colder.
"Senior Sister, if you do not stop, I might retaliate..." He smiled eerily and coldly.
"You!!" Eva was a little stupefied. How long was he away for? He only left for a short while, and when he came back, he jumped from Resonance Level to Inherited Level! "How... how is it possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. I can't help it if I'm a genius, can I?" Garen smiled. He covered the wound on his cheeks with his hand for a short moment before letting go. The wound had healed completely and disappeared.
"I don't believe it!" Eva clenched her teeth. She felt that she had probably not used her full strength just now.
"Light of Oblivion!!" The stag force field appeared once again, and numerous blue light beams sieged towards Garen in the sky.
"It's useless..." Garen held his sword by its handle.
"Slash!"
The Dual Prison Lock broke out momentarily, and the Black Thread Sword intertwined with the blue light beams, which looked like a mirage beside Garen. Numerous blue light beams shattered and disappeared into the air. The look on Garen's face did not seem to change slightly, and he looked at Eva with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Senior Sister... it seems like you have gotten weaker..."
The cold wind blew towards them and rolled up a subtle cyclone. But the chill in Eva's heart was colder than the wind.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
"Light of Oblivion!!"
A sky full of blue light beams appeared once again and sieged towards Garen from all directions.
This was Eva's most powerful technique. It was promoted by the Twelve Grade Scarlet Snow Technique, along with a trace of the Strength of Origin, and combined with all her energy machineries' resonance. This time, she used everything that she had. She even removed the protective Inherited Level force field and used it for the attack.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a figure was being knocked out.
It was not Garen, but Eva.
She did not know when did Garen left from where he was standing to appear before her.
"Senior Sister, do you not understand what I meant? I didn't say that I'll be standing still for you to attack..." Garen smiled and looked at Eva from above, who was thrown down leaving a long dragging indentation on the ground.
Burgh.
Eva spat a mouthful of blood and tried to get up, but she could barely move.
"How can you be so rude to your Senior Sister?" Suddenly, a deadly flat voice was heard coming from beside him.
Carthage slowly appeared on Garen and Eva's left side. He had a sword in his hand, and nobody knew when he appeared standing there.
"Wounding your Senior Sister is a sin, and it is disrespectful. Apologize to her quickly." Carthage said with an apologetic tone, but there was not a trace of sincerity.
"I'm really sorry, Senior Sister Eva." Garen suddenly laughed. "I accidentally missed, and wounded you... but who can you blame when you're so weak? I thought that..."
He did not continue talking and walked to Carthage's side. He originally intended to secretly send a message to Eva to explain, but then he felt a hint of Carthage's presence and stopped doing so instantly.
"Let's go, it's time to head back." Carthage glanced at Garen, and a black whirlpool from his eyes instantly appeared. A horrifying invisible presence encircled Garen immediately.
Garen's shook. This presence... it had exceeded Inherited Level, it was Non-Falling Level!
Although he was not affected by this presence due to his 40 vitality points, Garen quickly adjusted his body and put up an act that he was being slightly suppressed. When it came to disguising his vital energy, there was no one better than him, who had trained secret techniques for many years.
He could not make a move now, as he still did not have any clues about Carthage's trump card and his level of strength. As such, he absolutely cannot make a move. Even if he was able to defeat him now, Garen still would not make a move, as he intended to get more information regarding the behind-the-scenes contents of the energy machinist extinction.
The perpetual motioners might be involved in the energy machinist extinction, and they were not something that he was able to fight against now.
At that moment, because of the commotion caused by their fierce battle, someone rushed over from a distance.
"It's Senior Sister Eva's disturbance! Quick!"
"Hurry up! Senior Sister seems to be injured. Her energy machinery imprint is damaged!"
There was a sound coming from afar.
"Let's go."
Carthage turned and strode towards the distance. He seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact, he was walking at a very fast pace.
Garen followed closely behind him, and the two of them came across four to five men who were walking in an opposite direction. Seeing them, the men stopped momentarily with a nervous look on their face.
"Senior Brother, Ca...Carthage!" A boy wearing spectacles stood up reluctantly and greeted.
"All you do is scare these little guys? Carthage." A woman dressed in a white robe slowly descended from the air. She was the rank number two Second Senior Sister, Alice, who was also Rainy's sister.
"Alice? I'm just wandering around casually, and to welcome the return of my Junior Brother. As disciples of the sect, how could you say such hurtful words?" Carthage smiled and answered calmly.
Garen could feel how highly tensed the presence around Alice was. It was obvious that she feared Carthage a lot.
"Rainy is dead," Alice said suddenly, Garen's heart shivered. "I just found out about it. She was pierced by an iron baton and her blood was drained. She was hung at the entrance of Junior Brother Garen's Black Wolf Lair."
Garen's heart tightened, and his highly concentrated spiritual energy was fixed on Carthage.
He had told Aloran to let Senior Sister Rainy go...! It was him!!
He closed his eyes slightly and slowly tightened his grip on the handle of his sword.
