Chapter 432 The Too High a Price
Bang! A pale hand slammed down on the table, and a raw, hoarse voice uttered angrily, "These useless trash!"
"So many people! Even an ordinary professional can't control them!"
Inside the building, the mysterious prince, who had been watching from the sidelines, was furious. His plan, which he thought was in the bag, was already showing signs of failure!
Five superhumans attacked, but Misr Van killed one of them!
The remaining men are either useless or bogged down by unexpected arrivals. If this continues, my brother's grand plan will be...
Feeling uneasy, even with the help of his family and accurate intelligence from Misr Van, organizing an operation against him would be extremely difficult.
After all, the capital city is still not a place where they can do whatever they want.
But the elder brother decisively launched the attack.
If they miss the current opportunity, they could wait for Misr Van to demonstrate his abilities, allowing the Linber family's power to grow, or for his own strength to increase again.
Or perhaps, as some speculation suggests, he revealed some special identity.
It will be even more difficult to take action then.
The best course of action would be to launch a surprise attack on him just as he was beginning to show his talent! However, despite being fully prepared, they still encountered an unexpected turn of events.
This made the young prince anxious and uneasy.
"Please calm down, Your Highness. Trust my men; they are not fools."
The woman with the alluring voice stared at the battlefield outside the window, her expression becoming somewhat solemn. "As instructed by His Highness Sutschte, we have prepared a foolproof plan."
Please continue reading.
As soon as the words were spoken, the open space below was enveloped in a thick darkness, the air suddenly froze, and a terrifying pressure that instilled inexplicable fear and unease was faintly revealed.
The woman's lips curled into a smug smile. "It begins. These little chess pieces can't escape our grasp!"
The mysterious prince breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out his elder brother had already foreseen everything.
All possibilities were planned for the entire operation. If things went smoothly, the operatives would control Misr Van and use the secret artifact to force him to become their ally.
If things don't go smoothly and you encounter setbacks, kill the person with force; never let them be used by the enemy.
At the very least, we must use a curse to severely injure him, leaving him on the verge of death and his abilities impaired.
The prince firmly believed that in his brother's foolproof plan, Misr Van was like a fly caught in a spider's web, destined to meet his doom!
In the center of the battle below, Fan Wei's method for dealing with high-speed superhumans is quite simple.
He pulled out the silver core and used it for a rapid spatial displacement, releasing a large amount of black flame to fill the space and block the enemy's path.
Then, before it could truly accelerate to the point where speed was the only way to break through, he punched it until it was stiff, and finally, Silver Heart, imbued with True Overlord Fighting Spirit, delivered a series of consecutive slashes, instantly decapitating it!
This is the result of supernatural abilities being targeted; they are killed with hatred before they can unleash their full power.
The splashing bright red blood fell into the rising black flames, turning into wisps of gray and dissipating upwards. Fan Wei turned to rush to his teammates' aid, only to see ink-like black mist rushing in from afar.
A subtle and terrifying aura made him tense all over, and cold sweat instinctively seeped out from his back.
That was an aura strikingly similar to the Blood Demon that descended upon the Labyrinth Street! An aura that involuntarily brought back memories of the despair of that time! A Transcendent!
Someone with superpower status has actually intervened!
“Tell me your wish.”
A piercing sound appeared along with the pervasive black mist, causing eardrum pain and dizziness. A cold and emotionless entity asked the user of the secret treasure for his request.
"I will exchange the Eye of Baghdana and a thousand Soul Ashes for this person's inability to resist!"
The ice-powered individual spoke urgently, gripping a blurry, dark statue tightly, and pointing it at Fan Wei, who was emitting a faint light in the darkness.
He ignored Rotaher, after all, wishes come at a price, and the more you ask for, the higher the price. It was not worth it to waste it on this madman.
Moreover, making excessive wishes to mysterious entities can easily lead to their distortion or even backfire on the user!
He dared not overuse it.
Fan Wei, who was in the distance, did not hear the enemy's voice, but he felt a cold gaze sweep over him, a feeling that was even colder than the low temperature that permeated the surroundings.
“Not enough,” the voice in the darkness replied sharply. “You have made excessive demands and will have to pay the price.”
"What?!" Horror swept over him, and then wisps of black energy were forcibly drawn from the superhuman with ice abilities. He trembled and knelt down in pain, the statue in his hand almost slipping from his grasp.
Not enough? Just demanding control of Misr Van isn't enough?
This price is enough to deal with powerful superhumans, so why is it so difficult to deal with him?!
"Keep making wishes!"
Unaware of the terrible price they had paid, the ice-wielding user roared at his companions to continue, for the price had already been paid and they could not give up halfway!
The person with extraordinary abilities immediately went to take the statue from their teammate.
However, Rotaher, who was briefly stunned by the black mist and the sudden appearance of the aura of a transcendent being, naturally did not give in to his wishes. He kicked out a wave of air and sent pebbles flying.
"Mammoth Trampling!"
Aside from the flying leg blade, the subsequent stomp created spiderweb-like cracks in the ground, and the two enemies were sent flying as if they were standing on the edge of a falling meteorite!
"What are you? Come out and fight me!"
An excited roar pierced through the black mist, challenging the unknown entity. Rotah, in a suicidal act, actually attempted to contend with the mysterious transcendent being!
However, the transcendent being who descended there ignored him, as if only responding to the statue holder's requests.
The injured Scales superhuman grabbed the black statue, and in the brief exchange, the true form sculpted on it was revealed: a long dragon coiled around a stone pillar, with three fleshy wings, countless human arms, and a centipede-like shape.
Glancing at Rotaher before him and Fan Wei rapidly approaching, the Libra superhuman uttered his wish.
"I wish that with the Eye of Baghdana and a thousand Soul Ashes, I may wound the two before me!"
He believed that since it was just trauma, the cost shouldn't be too great, and the current Rotaher was quite troublesome; weakening them together would achieve the goal quickly!
A sense of terror, along with the silence, froze time and space, sending chills down one's spine instinctively. A huge voice in the darkness paused for a moment, then emitted a slightly malicious, playful sound.
"Deal done."
“But your price is insufficient, and I will make up the difference myself.”
"What?!" The Balance Ability User was stunned. Suddenly, like his companion, he screamed and black mist seeped from his seven orifices, as if something unknown had been taken away from him!
At the same time, a huge, dazzling gem and a flickering spark tinged with an illusory orange-red light flew out from the containers on the two people and were swallowed by the black mist.
The entire darkness began to boil like a tidal wave.
The piercing malice, sharp as needles, suddenly fell upon the wary Fan Wei and Luo Tahe, its terrifying force like an avalanche of the heavens! They felt as if they would be crushed at any moment!
Meanwhile, Ron, who had just discovered that his companion's wish had come true, quietly approached with a strange nail that looked like a dagger.
Because of the nature of his attack spirit, the task of controlling Fan Wei was assigned to him from the beginning. As long as Misir Fan was injured and showed a weakness, he would use the secret treasure to pin down his soul!
However, the momentum of the black fog seemed to have become somewhat too strange.
The black energy it was drawing from the two superhumans never stopped, and even their struggles became weak.
"Hmph hmph hmph, hahahaha..."
A chilling laugh seemed to come from beyond the layers of space, and the mysterious entity in the black mist spoke in a shrill voice, "Equivalent exchange~ I always abide by my principles! Your wishes will surely be fulfilled."
"In the way it should happen~"
The oppressive aura grew stronger and stronger! Even the sky above the exploration legion's base began to turn pitch black, as if it were about to swallow up half of the time zone!
This commotion exceeded the planners' expectations!
All the onlookers, as well as the princes and women who were spying from their offices, looked up in fear at the vast black fog. If the mysterious transcendent being were to descend, everyone nearby would likely be doomed!
However, just as the terrifying pressure was about to explode, a cold snort came from afar.
This is not a place for you to run wild!
Another aura, transcending mortal status, was released, arriving from afar! A powerful member of the Exploration Legion had made his move!
