Last Ruler Of The Empty Throne-Chapter 101: Piece

His face displayed a huge shock. The system that caused all of what happened actually had a name. And his shock didn’t stop there,

[YOU HAVE BECOME THE FIRST OF YOUR WORLD TO LEARN OF EMBROYNIEL RECORDS EXISTENCE]

[YOUR FOUNDATION HAS GROWN]

[YOUR **** LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

He was actually getting stronger just by being the first to know about it.

-Yes, nobody knows if it has a consciousness or anything like that. Well, the system protects new worlds undergoing evolutions.

He could guess the rest of her words, there were rules to be followed for beings not of this world to stay here.

’But, the protection this world is receiving is just too much.’ She didn’t voice out that part. She kept it to herself, thinking about the strange things she had experienced in this world.

And Jon too was in his own thoughts,

’So it’s like that’

Without much thought, he picked up the object. Looking at it now, it was wooden and looked like a toy. However, for the fact it didn’t get destroyed with his attack, it wasn’t right to underestimate it.

It looked like those wooden facial artifacts kept in museums as ancient crafts but a smaller version. With its brown body, red strange lines could be seen around it and they kept glowing.

Strangely, there wasn’t any system messages about it, but the use of it entered his brain.

-I can guess the ability of this one.

Amelia suddenly said as she stared at the glowing wooden artifact.

"It’s probably as you’ve guessed. Multiply." He nodded after he had received information of it.

The shock of it’s ability was making him numb to it. Basically, it could multiply something or anyone once provided enough energy. However, what made it reality shattering was, the similarity it bore to the original. There was no change in anyway. As seen with the zombies, they dropped cores, orbs and even remains upon their deaths.

-That’s really good. When this world is stable, it can be used as training when there not enough monsters to hunt again.

"Yes." Jon’s head snapped to Amelia and thanked her for that idea. Jon didn’t usually just think of now, he also thought of the future. Their faction for example, if someone wanted to do anything, the faction’s backing was with them. It would make so many things easier in the future.

And when talking of future, most usually spoke of future generations. When things began to settle, people will then have the confidence to begin to have children and this could be used as training.

’But, hat is still far in the future, the faction could really use this at the moment to train and evolve.’ Though, the energy consumption was huge, they had just gotten so much that even after giving all the evolvers in the camp, there would still be a lot left.

And besides, they could always get their cores back after training. It was a win-win situation. The usefulness made him smile and shake his head. It was really reality shattering.

But it had to be a top-secret for now, until they could use it without issue, this situation could repeat itself without them been careful.

-You know anything that doesn’t show a system message is said to have existed before the system.

"W-What then that means..."

-Yes, there is a high probability.

Amelia then stretched out her hands as if she wanted to see the object. After contemplating for a while, he gave her.

’Sigh...She has helped me a lot, this is the least I can do.’ And he then asked, "What it is called?" It had to have a name considering it existed before even the system.

’Wait, the watch displays a message. Does that mean?’ He now knew that his watch was also after the system came into being. ’Should I ask her about it?’ He was contemplating asking her about his watch.

But he dismissed the thought. He couldn’t let someone he just met know everything about him.

-It’s called a ’Piece’

"What?" He almost doubted his ears as he received the object back from her. It had existed long before almost anything he could think of and the best it could get was, ’Piece’

-Well, have you thought of whether it was probably the reason there was a word called ’Piece’ in the first place.

"Oh?" As if he just understood something, he jerked. ’What if it is true. If it was really that old, it might have even had the right of the name ’piece’ in the first place.’ With the thought, he put it in his tattered pocket. He didn’t want to show his watch now.

Turning around, he saw Gar’al grinning with new treasure around him. And Alexa had returned to her previous always serious face but couldn’t properly hide the excitement in her eyes as she now moving towards him.

’It seems they are finished.’ Jon thought and also approached them.

"Let’s gather all of them around." Jon told them and unleashed his telekinesis around him. The orbs and cores all around lifted in the air and started coming around.

Alexa though went to another direction and used gravity reverse. As she was using it Amelia spoke,

-That girl

’I know right...she is also space related.’ Jon began smiling as he also looked at Alexa as she gathered the orbs and cores.

-Do you like space that much?

Amelia curiously asked Jon. She had also seen the excitement in him after she revealed her skill.

’Oh... then we have a lot to talk about.’ Jon grinned at the thought of sharing ideas with a space related user. And the person turned out to be a peerless existence.

’I can finally die in peace.’ Jon laughed maniacally as he began moving to gather the rest fast.

-Strange monster

Amelia shook her head at the attitude he was displaying.

Gar’al though wasn’t of any help because his skill wasn’t related to support at all. He only focused on strength and defense.

And before they knew it, they had cleared everywhere.

Now laying before them was a hill of cores and orbs. If before, the rate of drops was depressing. It now felt like they had been rewarded for all those times.

"Where are we going to put them." Alexa then asked.

Pah

Jon palmed his forehead, he didn’t want to show it this early, but is seemed there was no escaping it.

’Haa...Amelia, I will answer your questions soon, so please wait a little.

-What do you-

Before she could continue, he jaws dropped at the sight of them entering his watch. Her mind was spinning, there was only one treasure in the universe that was a watch and also a pocket space.

’What is it doing here?’ her brain kept spinning for answers, she couldn’t think of any reason for it. And even if she had an idea where he was from, this was just too much.

’Just who are you.’ If before she wanted to just satisfy her curiosity. Now, she wanted to know everything.

Jon all of a suddenly began to feel the hair all over his body standing. He could practically see it, Amelia was intensely glaring at him. As if she could find her answers through him.

’Haa...I will explain later.’ Only after saying that, did she stop and calmed down.

"Let’s leave."

With nothing left to do and this place becoming inhabitable again, they could leave.

...

Four people were sprinting across the direction they had taken previously on their way here. Three visible and one not visible to the natural eye and they all had different thoughts as they moved.

Jon had changed his clothes already and as he was on his way, he was already anticipating the bath he was going to have. In the first instance, he had to leave his bath to attend to this issue. So he was really looking forward to it.

Gar’al was anticipating his next fight with the new skills and treasure he had just gotten. The feeling of fighting and to come out on top was intoxicating for him. And that wasn’t even all, he would get stronger in the process.

Alexa was already back to her usual attitude, however she was thinking of getting stronger. Now thinking of it, if Jon had really created that kind of attack, she wasn’t even at his level again. She also wanted to be there for him as he was for her.

And Amelia was just thinking of this strange world she was in. She had entered the world in the first place because it was hidden. No world under the protection of the system was hidden. However, this one was and the only reason she knew was because she was a space user. She was just in her free time enjoying what she liked doing, moving through space when she saw this hidden world.

And-

However, she immediately stopped her thought process and stopped moving.

-Jon

Jon immediately stopped moving, this was the first time she had called his name. However, that wasn’t in his mind. Just from the way she called him, he could tell something was wrong.

"What’s wrong?" Alexa immediately as she and Gar’al also stopped in their tracks.

He didn’t reply and just spread his senses to its fullest.

It was coming. With full speed towards their direction,

He was even finding it difficult to follow its movements, however he began to act.

He morphed his black rod into a spear and activated the special for his ’One strike’

"Turn back." He told Gar’al and Alexa. And as they were about to ask about it, he raised his voice, "NOW"

Ga’al was the first to act, he turned and carried Alexa, but before they could even start running a large blur entered their vision.

It was large and was flickering between black and brown. And before they knew it, it had already reached Jon.

However, Jon was already ready. With his spear stretched out, he released the skill at the incoming monster. And they collided,

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
