The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 458: Platinum Rank

"It seems that I will have to teach you a lesson by making all of you my slaves." The merman stated before he began walking towards Olivia and the others who were currently lying on the ground, devastated. They had actually been defeated in just a single move.

Olivia and the others felt the horror of the merman the moment that they faced him. At this moment, they realized that they definitely were not capable of dealing with this guy at all. They were defeated, to the extent that they could not actually fight back at all, not even being capable of holding him back for a single minute.

At this moment, everybody was in a situation where they were feeling despair in their hearts. The reason behind that was simply because they understood that Henry was currently busy with something, and it was going to be impossible for him to come over.

The only thing that they could hope for was so that Henry could complete whatever it was that he wanted to do in order to come here before any great damage is dealt. Otherwise, it was impossible for this territory to be able to survive to the end of this day.

"I’m not going to kill you directly, but instead, I want to make sure that you experience the power that I possess. How dare you humiliate me like that? I’m going to make sure that you become the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to the humans." The merman stated as he approached the four of them.

At the same time, he looked towards the territory where everybody was looking in the direction that the fight had been going on with horror in their eyes. If the strongest people within the territory had already been defeated, it was obvious that they would definitely not be capable of making any changes even if they decided to attack at that time.

The merman squinted his eyes as he looked towards the territory where everybody was congregated. It seemed that he was thinking about something, as an evil smile immediately emerged on his face.

But even then, he shifted his focus onto Olivia and the others, intending to deal with them first.

...

On the other side, Henry did not know much about what was going on. He had already returned into the dungeon to continue with dealing with breaking the barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level.

Previously, he had suddenly detected that there was a call towards him by his summoned creatures. So, the moment that he managed to stabilize himself a little, he got out of the dungeon, before he got back into the territory using the feature that allowed him to teleport back into the territory.

After getting back there, he received information about what was happening. He could not help but be a little surprised by the changes that had suddenly happened. But even then, he immediately went to the territory that was located in Crystal city, before summoning Olivia there. At the same time, he brought over both Storm and Diana.

Of course during the short time that he was within Crystal city, he had realized that the territory was currently being attacked by a tsunami. But even then, there was nothing that he could do considering that he felt that the energy that was currently present within his body was currently being destabilized.

Immediately, without hesitation, he went back to the territory, before rushing to the dungeon considering that he could not teleport there. The moment that he got back into the dungeon, he continued with the process that he had left in the middle.

Of course he could have continued everything outside of the dungeon, but it was completely different considering that he was not sure if the amount of energy that he possessed was enough to be able to enable him to reach the next level.

For that reason, he decided to continue staying within the dungeon, to ensure that if there was any lack of enough energy for him to break through, he would definitely kill a few more monsters.

The moment that he returned into the dungeon, he continued trying to break the wall that had already formed several cracks. The cracks continued to expand, before finally, a big change happened.

Bang!

An explosion occurred inside Henry’s mind. At the same time, the barrier that had been preventing him from reaching the next level suddenly burst into pieces.

The moment that the barrier was shattered, Henry suddenly felt that the chains that were preventing him from reaching the next level had suddenly disappeared. He felt completely free, and at the same time, he felt that the energy that was in his body had already begun increasing.

At the same time, he felt his strength beginning to skyrocket. And in no time, a prompt appeared in front of him informing him that he had managed to reach level 9 of the diamond rank in his warlock profession.

The moment that Henry managed to reach level 9 of the diamond rank, another big change suddenly occurred in the outside world. The world that had suddenly returned to calmness the moment that the rain ended, was once again in chaos.

The monsters and the members of the other races were suddenly enveloped in a mysterious red light. The moment that they were inside that light, they could not move at all, but even then, humans did not have the capability of killing them considering that they were not capable of breaching the red light that was a form of protection for those members of the other races and monsters.

Then something that the members of the other races and monsters had not expected happened. At that moment, all those members of the other races and monsters began feeling that their strength was actually being increased.

Each and every one of them was having their strength increased by a single level. For those that had already reached level 9 of the particular rank they were currently in, they were enabled to break through to the next rank.

This was something that confused the members of the other races completely. After all, the information that they possessed about the apocalypse was completely different from what was happening right now. But even then, they could not contact the higher ups of their own races considering that there was something that was disrupting the communication between them.

But even then, they could not help but get excited the moment that they realized that they were having an improvement in terms of their strength. Additionally, what made them even more excited was the fact that the humans were actually not getting any stronger, but instead, they were just the way they were before the changes began happening.

At that moment, the members of the other races immediately ignored the humans, considering them as the least threat that they could experience. But instead, they began becoming cautious of the other members of the other races other than their own race.

It was very clear that battles were going to erupt between the members of different races, as each and every one of them wanted to get an advantage. It might be true that the distance between the area where each race descended was quite huge, but even then, it was not as if that area could not be located at all.

Back in the dungeon, Henry did not know about the changes that were going on out there. Instead, he just felt that his energy and strength were actually still increasing, and it seemed that they were going to reach another level.

Booom!

Just as he had expected, within his mind and the body, a small explosion suddenly occurred. Then at the same time, he felt that his body was going through a qualitative change, something that he had not expected to happen.

At this moment, his body was completely different from the way that he was before. The changes that had happened had not only occurred outside, but even his internal organs had changed completely. In short, Henry felt that he had suddenly been reborn, and everything about him, his perception and so on had actually been improved by a great margin.

The next moment, a prompt appear in front of Henry, informing him of his breakthrough.

But of course, the moment that Henry managed to break through and reach the platinum rank, something else happened in the outside world. The entire world was suddenly trembling tremendously, and in no time, several cracks appeared all over the world.

The size of the cracks that appeared this time were extremely huge, and in no time at all, several territories regardless of whether they belong to the humans or the members of the other races were actually destroyed.

This time in particular, both sides began suffering casualties. The sky that had already turned red suddenly turned completely crimson, and at the same time, the smell of blood suddenly began spreading all over the world.

At this point, nobody could understand what was going on in this world anymore. Even the members of the other races who boasted of possessing information about the apocalypse were completely dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on anymore.

The earthquake that was happening all over the world continued for more than 30 minutes. And as expected, the level of damage that had been dealt all over the world was extremely huge, and many territories had already been affected.

But even then, there was one thing that remained. That was the fact that the buildings and other things that were located within the invisible territory barrier that surrounded several main territory buildings of the many territories all over the world were actually not affected.
