Soul Of Negary-Chapter 496: Rally, heroes of this world!

As soon as the Dragon Warrior was defeated, the dragon beasts all fled.

Blondie slowly sheathed his sword by putting it back inside his body. The pain of thrusting a sword into his flesh caused his facial muscles to distort before it finally disappeared.

"Let's go, we've already achieved our goals" Blondie indifferently said as he turned to the two girls next to him.

They were currently the only descendants left of Nala's family, the Tagula clan. In order to resolve the issue of his bloodline going out of control, their father had pledged his allegiance to the Dragon Warrior, but he lost his life during a recent mission. Blondie found the two girls through an ability he exchanged from the Infinite Room, [Factor Search].

"Carry him" taking back her Shikigamis one by one, Ying ordered Adrian to pick up the Dragon Warrior and began heading towards the Duchy.

…

As the two fists clashed, their muscles started bulging up, perfectly putting the beauty of strength on display.

Big Qiang laughed heartily as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth: "Bahahaha, Ghost Knight! If you lose, join us, let's gather all the power we can to defeat the King of Evil Spirit!"

"100% Sure-kill Non-bending Specter!" Big Qiang's muscles bulged up further, causing the ground he was standing on to shatter and his clenched fist to grow even larger.

「 TSK! I'll be enough by myself, I'm not going to lose to you! 」the Ghost Knight furiously roared and swung his fist towards him as well.

As the two fists clashed, the terrifying shockwaves blew everything around them away in a loud bang, forming a large crater right underneath their feet. A few moments later, Big Qiang carried the injured Ghost King out of the crater while laughing ecstatically.

There's nothing as exciting as defeating a strong enemy by oneself.

…

However, when they regrouped at their base in the Duchy, some bad news was waiting for them.

"Bai Zi Xi died?" Blondie opened his eyes wide. Without actually fighting, it was impossible to tell who was stronger between him and that rotten girl, but it was clear that their strengths weren't too far apart. 

This also meant that since the other party was able to kill Bai Zi Xi, they could also kill him.

"Was the culprit the King of Evil Spirit or the mastermind?" Big Qiang clenched his fist tightly. Although they all knew that the enemy was very powerful this time, they didn't expect for one of their comrades to have already fallen so soon.

"That's not it" Xu Yao denied their conjectures: "She used her ability earlier to send news that she had found Alkors' statue, but the enemy was very powerful and that she might need my ability to support her. When I opened the [Warp Gate] to receive her, she managed to return with the statue, but swiftly died not too long afterwards"

"Before she died, she was able to generally describe the enemy to me. She had confirmed that they're not an Evil Spirit but more likely a native" Xu Yao's expression was clearly not happy: "That guy was called Bastin Faye, a General of the New Royas Kingdom"

"The other party was clearly capable of killing Bai Zi Xi, but he let her go in order to learn more about us" Xu Yao sighed helplessly.

Not too long ago when he received Bai Zi Xi's distress signal, Xu Yao had opened a gate to take her back to base, at which point the one called Bastin Faye gave up on pursuit and just watched as Bai Zi Xi took the statue back with her. Bai Zi Xi didn't notice anything wrong with her either, but after talking to him for a bit, her body suddenly began to split apart and became a pile of chopped-up flesh and bones.

And it was right at the moment of the corpse's decomposition that Xu Yao finally noticed the probing intentions.

"Putting too much trust in a comrade… no, in an Apostle, as well as the severe underestimation of the enemy had led to them learning quite a bit about us" Xu Yao explained: "This was my mistake"

…

"So the goal is to revive the Saintess Nala, huh?" still wearing a military uniform as always Bastin Faye pulled his Metal Qi back into his body.

As the clone of an Evil God, his goal this time was to destroy all the countries in this world and replace them while not utilizing any power from the original.

"The King of Evil Spirit that Negary created, combined with this group of outsiders, the more chaotic the better"

After leaving the border city, Bastin Faye had managed to find out a little bit about Negary, thus not feeling worried about this.

In the Flame world, they wouldn't utilize power that surpasses the 'limit', as this place was still the lab of the two great entities White Light and Black Abyss, they're more than happy to see the start of new experiments, but definitely not the destruction of the lab itself.

Even the Supreme God world also realized this, which was why it had sent in its Apostles instead of attempting to devour the Flame world using the powerful World Essence of an Intermediate Realm after the bridge was completed. Compared to how restrained Negary was feeling when he entered a Sand Realm, the Supreme God world was the one that was truly restrained here.

It had to face a large number of Evil Spirits with the Misfortunate Aura in its own world, but was unable to directly act to destroy the origin of this Misfortune Aura and had to send out its subordinates.

"I've completely grasped my new power" Bastin Faye reached out his arms and clenched. He had attempted to and finished simulating the path of advancement for first-rate Pugilists.

Earlier, that woman had said something about burly men in military uniform after seeing him, so Bastin Faye had simply taught her a lesson.

"Become more chaotic, this world! I'm looking forward to it!"

…

One day later, outside of the Duchy, the Apostle group, as well as their new temporary members, had all gathered.

The Apostle group now has four members remaining: Xu Yao, Big Qiang, Ying, and Blondie; while the new temporary members were the dragonborn Adrian who followed Ying here; the Ghost Knight who was defeated by Big Qiang and bound by their agreement; and the only son of the Blackblood Clan, Crowman Nasir.

Aside from them, there were several other Combatants whose information had been collected by the Supreme God world, all of which were sought out by Big Qiang and invited here.

A young researcher of various [Schools] of techniques, hailed by many as the Grandmaster. He had achieved an extreme in the 'Skill' of the three Pugilist requirements of Mind – Body – Skill, having grasped over a hundred different kinds of [Bone Forge Arts], half of which was created by him and taught to others without holding anything back.

A serum alchemist with a love for Mysticism who had integrated it into her own Pugilist [School], Transenna. After learning of their goal to revive Nala, she had volunteered to join the group, having been a fan of Nala.

"During the gathering of the Salvation Church, we will release Alkors' statue as proof, then use that to demand for Versace's skull bone. That's our general plan" Xu Yao explained to everyone at the gathering, then showed them a vial of writhing golden blood.

"In order to complete this, we've extracted the Dragon Warrior's and Adrian's dragon bloodline, I hope that everyone can sympathize" Xu Yao was explaining to the Ghost Knight and their other collaborators since most of the people here were generally allies of justice who might feel a bit of reservation towards this.

"Not at all, to me personally, this might be a good thing instead" Adrian's expression seemed a bit drained. The bloodthirst caused by his dragon's blood had always been his nightmare.

Of course, to the Dragon Warrior, this was a severe blow. His Metal Qi had already been broken due to its source of strength being dug out from his body.

"We're not old-fashioned people, so we'd naturally understand" Grand Master answered, his young face carrying a gaze filled with vicissitudes.

His vast experience had informed him that these people who gathered them weren't exactly model citizens, but since their goal was currently the same and they were willing to compromise, both sides had reasons to cooperate.

There weren't too many dragonborns who had reached the level of first-rate Pugilist. Aside from Adrian who rejected his dragon bloodline, most others would integrate their dragon bloodline's abilities into their Pugilist style one way or another, so not many people would willingly give up their blood.

Crowmen were also troubled by their bloodline, but Nasir hadn't gotten his Xu Yao to extract it for him, so it was clear that his power was also related to his bloodline.

"Then let us begin. It's time to awaken lord Nala from her slumber" Transenna excitedly said.
