Chapter 82: Poisoned Body! The Frenzied Alchemical Arcanist

One day later.

Outside Iron Dragon Fortress, Raine was checking his weapons, potions, and scrolls, his gaze directed towards the distant highlands.

At that moment,

The void to his left silently tore open, and a figure with a wide-brimmed hat stepped out from the rift.

A sudden instinctual alarm surged within Raine. He quickly retreated ten miles and then looked toward the newcomer.

The figure was dressed in a strange, tattered robe stitched together from old cloth, the brim of the hat pulled low, resembling a wanderer.

The person’s aura was incredibly strong, even comparable to Marcus or Mondrig.

Furthermore, there was something about him that instinctively made Raine feel fear!

For the first time, Raine experienced a primal sense of dread.

"Who are you?"

He was ready to flee at a moment’s notice.

"Patrol—Borm."

His voice was extremely hoarse.

Hearing "patrol," Raine felt slightly relieved.

If this person were an enemy, he would have attacked by now.

"Are you from somewhere else?"

Borm nodded.

Raine was about to move forward, but just then, the void in front of him suddenly tore open again, and Lord Garson stepped through.

"Lord Garson?"

Raine froze in surprise.

Garson raised his hand to stop him, his expression serious: "Don’t approach."

Raine’s eyes narrowed as he looked again at the figure.

"Is he an enemy?"

"Who said that?"

Garson turned his head, his gaze complex.

"His body is an Alchemical Poisoned Body. Anyone who gets too close will meet an unfortunate end."

Alchemical Poisoned Body?

Raine suddenly understood, and it made sense why he felt that instinctual fear.

Looking at the ragged figure, a sense of curiosity rose in his heart: "Is he an alchemy specialist?"

Garson nodded slightly, unwilling to elaborate further.

However, the look in his eyes as he stared at Borm was filled with a sorrow that Raine couldn’t comprehend.

"You may not get close to him, but rest assured!"

"He will be your protector from here on out, keeping you safe with his life."

Garson spoke with certainty, leaving no room for doubt.

Raine didn’t ask further, but saluted Borm from a distance with respect.

Although they were far apart, he could feel an overwhelming loneliness emanating from that figure!

The hoarse voice was enough to show that he hadn’t spoken to anyone in a long time.

How lonely must one be for their voice to sound like that?

He couldn’t imagine, nor did he know the past Borm had endured.

But Borm was willing to help him!

"Lord Garson,"

Raine looked at Garson and raised his voice, "I’m going to attack Crimson City."

He hadn’t returned to Iron Dragon Fortress or alerted Bloodhowl Highlands because he feared being stopped.

Now that both Garson and the reinforcements were here, he wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Raine, I know I can’t stop you."

Garson looked at him, determination in his eyes.

Even if he stopped Raine today, what about tomorrow? What about in the future?

He couldn’t keep him from going forever, could he!?

And with Raine’s personality, if there was an opportunity, he would definitely take it!

"But remember one thing, war is not won by bloodlust alone. If you cannot defeat them, retreat immediately!"

"I understand!"

Raine nodded, then looked at the other powerful figure.

Borm slowly raised his head, and his dark green glowing eyes were revealed beneath his hat.

He sized up Raine for a moment, then rasped,

"I’m only here to protect you. I don’t care if you want to die!"

"But I will certainly die before you do!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

His response was unwavering, without even asking for any reason.

This made Raine feel incredibly reassured, knowing he could fully entrust his back to him.

He took a deep breath, glanced back at Iron Dragon Fortress,

and with a sudden burst, Thunder Light wings unfurled and Raine’s figure shot towards the highlands.

...

At the same time, above the clouds in the highlands.

Victor, Krist, Margaret, and the other alien races geniuses had been waiting for a while.

One of them sneered.

"I’m not wasting any more time with these useless idiots. I’ll head out first."

Saying this, he flew towards Crimson City.

The others hesitated for a moment, then followed.

"Looks like this trip was a waste."

Krist scoffed, not wanting to linger any longer.

When the others scattered, Victor, unwilling to accept this, turned to leave as well.

They had waited for so long, cursed for days, but still hadn’t seen the human prodigy. Maybe he was truly scared!

The group of geniuses had just reached the vicinity of Crimson City when—

Whizz—!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, crashing into the city with a deafening boom!

Boom—!!!

The ground exploded instantly!

Lightning as thick as a water barrel raged outwards from the point of impact, tearing nearby Soul Devourers apart.

The entire Crimson City trembled violently!

The sudden turn of events plunged the entire city into a brief silence.

Whether it was the Soul Devourer soldiers stationed on the walls, the Expert-level warriors, or even the geniuses like Victor who had just arrived at the city walls, they all froze in place.

None of them could react fast enough to understand what had just fallen into the city.

All eyes focused on the spreading Thunder Light!

Inside the city, Sydell, Ballo, and the other four Grandmaster-level warriors were also alerted, their mind powers reaching out.

Powerful auras rose into the air, looking toward the city gates.

"What’s going on?!"

Zor and Nyx, along with other gargoyle geniuses, took flight, looking towards the city gates.

"What happened?"

"The shockwave came from the city gates!"

Everyone in the city paused their actions and turned to look at the spot where the Thunder Light had erupted.

Crackling, crackling...

Countless arcs of electricity leaped and flickered in the aftermath of the impact.

Victor, Krist, Camille, Margaret, and the other geniuses regained their senses, their eyes locked on the center of the Thunder Light.

A figure stood resolutely!

They quickly flew into the city, focusing their gaze on this person.

Bathed in lightning, Raine’s short hair fluttered in the Nex storm.

His tall, lean figure stood like a spear piercing the heavens, radiating sharpness.

"Patrol squad leader uniform... Elite-level, but able to fly, and this kind of aura..."

Victor narrowed his eyes, his excitement clear.

"Let me guess, you’re the human prodigy who killed Bruce, aren’t you?"

He couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice.

Originally thinking this trip was a waste, now, with the human warrior appearing at this moment, they had found their chance!

"Raine?"

A young man in yellow looked Raine up and down, sneering when he sensed Raine’s Elite-level rank.

"I thought you’d be hiding back at Iron Dragon Fortress drinking milk, but it seems you couldn’t resist coming out to die..."

"Shut up!"

Raine glanced at the young man coldly, and his words stopped abruptly.

Raine raised his hand and grabbed at him from a distance.

"How dare you be arrogant in a fishbowl? You’re asking to die!"

The young man in yellow erupted in anger, stepping forward into the air.

Victor confirmed the identity and without hesitation,

Six blades of light shot up from his belt, and the killing intent of the blades instantly filled the air!

A prodigy born to be a genius, his strength was definitely not ordinary.

Bruce’s death was the perfect warning.

Furthermore, killing Raine would allow them to claim the rewards from their clan.

Now, with this opportunity, how could anyone hesitate?

Not only Victor, but Krist also drew a black, serpentine war spear.

It was a supreme transcendent weapon, prepared specifically to kill Raine, and both attacked him at the same time!

The other geniuses also gathered their combat techniques, and devastating beams of light shot towards Raine.

Everyone wanted to kill him with one strike, fearing that some human powerhouse might intervene.

At that moment, powerful auras surged throughout the city, with multiple Grandmaster-level mind powers enveloping Raine.

But he ignored them completely!

"System... Temporary Ascension to Master-level!"

With a thought,

[Consumed 36,074 bloodstones, Temporary Ascension to Master 9, Duration: 1 Hour!]

The system’s display flashed.

In an instant, Raine’s rank skyrocketed, reaching Master-level!

His enhanced physique and mind power also reached new heights, revealing many new sensations in his perception.

The blood energy in his energy core surged like a vast sea of stars, each swirling nebula holding a towering Godform, granting him unparalleled power!

His physical strength skyrocketed, and the Obsidian Golem’s patterns shone with dazzling light.

Thunder Light crackled all around him, and the killing force of Thunder Arbiter reached a terrifying level!

Countless transformations completed in an instant.
