Chapter 1436 Meeting The Man

Of course that was impossible! And just forcing me to such a tight square, a dead end without any path of retreat or advance, was the most devastating blow they could deliver to me.

And yet the system counterattacked, using this way of blocking and protecting everyone from the one hundred contestants from taking part in the preparation period.

Or perhaps this was the doing of the enemy themselves. After all, the enemy gained access all this time to these zones, took their time in preparing, and the end result was clear.

Out of the hundred contestants, only nineteen remained, including myself.

I couldn't tell if this was the system doing or the enemy, and I didn't care. What I knew was that the system gave me a chance to get a way towards the angelic world, and that ended up quite great for me and very bad for the enemy.

"Fine," I clenched both fists, knew this was going to be slightly tough, "open a portal for me towards that dude's place then."

[Right away]

I already got portals leading each zone of these eighteenth dudes from my ground zero zone.

However I didn't know yet which one led towards that dude's place. And as I stabilised the situation in general, I wanted to focus totally on dealing with the most important zone, the one leading to the angelic world.

This zone was the top priority right now, even if I ended up losing too much in return or losing other contestants.

Things weren't that great out there when I arrived. The shields managed to block the attacks coming from outside, however something else appeared, something quite terrifying and deadly.

The worms appeared here out of nowhere! And I knew this was going to be bad! And on top of that, I already expected this.

"Tsk! The only enemy I faced and had the ability to take down my indestructible shields are here," I muttered to myself when I saw the giant worms come up from the ground, chew many of my elite forces, and cause too much chaos and leave behind too many dead.

The good news was that there weren't too many of these worms. There were around one hundred out there, and they weren't enough to change anything out there.

If they got tens of thousands, or even thousand, then things would turn to the worst. However what made the situation quite dangerous was the focus of these worms.

They left most of my forces, the few miles covered up by my shields, and focused mainly over Toramos and his little group.

The shield that dude used was something else. It stood against the relentless attacks of these worms one time after another.

I was gone for one hour, and the enemy's worms should have come here not long ago. Just seeing the number of dead of my forces around told me these worms didn't come for long.

But it was clear that a cracked shell like shield wasn't going to last that long as well.

"Tsk! I didn't want to use them but…" I got no other way to handle those deadly folks but through using the same type of weapon the enemy used.

I took out my cube, and released a few hundred worms from inside.

Even if the two were worms, my worms were already wounded. So I decided to take down much more than what the enemy had.

The moment my worms got out, they penetrated the ground as if giant pillars fell from the sky and landed deep into the ground.

They vanished underneath, and things returned to look calm again. I couldn't see any worms coming out again for almost five minutes.

And then like the apocalypse came here, the entire ground all around got damaged like it got hit with endless meteors.

Rocks flew fast, and many clashed against my chariot's shield. Just when my worms vanished underground, I hurriedly went down towards that dude called Toramos.

"There is no time to waste," I didn't know that my worms would be enough to keep the enemy's under the ground for five entire minutes, "come here now and let's talk later."

"Who are you?"

"An old enemy, and currently a friend and ally," I didn't lie to him. After all, I couldn't tell if this dude came from my apocalypse trial or from another trial.

If he came from mine, then he should be well aware of my identity. And if he didn't, my fame must have reached his ears.

Either way, I didn't plan on lying from the very first moment we met and told him the truth.

"I heard that a human called Hye is coming to our rescue," and when I thought he'd start a long session of talk, he jumped into my chariot, alongside the other twenty of his group, "and I only knew of one Hye."

"I told you," I turned to face him, while my chariot moved high in the air again, "I was your enemy, but now I'm your ally."

"So it's you…" the twenty-one Hescos in front of me were all wearing suits, and I couldn't differentiate which was whom.

They all got red suits, suiting their identities as paragons.

So all of them were paragons, what a bunch of crazy folks these Hescos were! Other races would struggle to produce just five in a single apocalyptic trial, and they could easily take out tens and hundreds in return.

"It's me," I shrugged, as if this was nothing. As I expected, my fame already reached far and wide, reaching such a dude I never met before, "you are Toramos?"

There was one who was speaking to me, but I couldn't even tell which one was speaking. I looked at three where the voice came from their direction, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's me," and one of the three stepped up, took a weird feather that had all the colours I could think of in there, and placed it over his head, "I'm Toramos."
