Chapter 37: The Prince
'Who is he?' Aldric wondered as he himself was impressed by the young man's aura.
He was a bit suspicious if he was the prince.
Curious, he took a screenshot of his appearance then sent it to Jenny.
With their distance, taking a screenshot shouldn't give clear results.
However, since his own eyes could already see things far away clearly with his enhanced powers, so the screenshots he took would basically produce an image as clear as his vision.
(He really is that prince, so he has already appeared.)
The answer from Jenny confirmed Aldric's guess.
However, there was something that confused him.
(He seems to be alone, did he just come alone?)
(Didn't you notice anyone else?) Jenny asked back.
(Yes, either they are hiding or they really don't exist.) Aldric replied.
(You have to be careful!)
Aldric remained waiting, keeping an eye on the prince.
He wasn't sure how he was going to move.
After about 15 minutes of standing on the hill, he finally descended it, heading in the direction of the small forest.
"You think I don't know you've set a trap, come out and fight me!" The prince suddenly shouted.
Aldric was quite surprised to hear that. Then he saw something happen.
The area where the prince was suddenly exploded as the ground below was thrown up so that a large crater was created in that area.
The prince jumped to avoid the crater, but then there was a very strong gravitational force as a brown-black light appeared, pulling the prince's body down.
BANG!
He landed right in the crater so hard that he fell to his knees.
At the same time, about thirty figures appeared at the edge of the crater with seven standing in front.
They seemed to appear out of thin air. Perhaps they had previously used something to make themselves invisible.
Among the seven figures, there was an old man, standing in the center.
He was already too old, having messy white hair with skin full of wrinkles.
Even his back was already quite stooped.
Just from appearance, he really gave the impression of not being able to stand up anymore.
Aldric wasn't sure what his condition was when he just logged into this game, whether he was also unable to stand up until he became a Magician.
Right beside him, there was a man in his 20s, rather thin with pale white skin, having a fairly clean face and neat blonde hair.
He caught Aldric's attention because he was pointing his hand at the prince.
It seemed that he was the one who released the gravity spell.
Aldric suspected he was the professional gamer Jenny was referring to. In any case, the other five didn't give the overwhelming impression that they were the children of rich people.
Of course, they might also be skilled gamers, like the Demon Horse and the Dead Fish.
It was just that, there were twenty-three other people besides those seven, Aldric felt like laughing and crying.
That old man, Ramsey really made excessive preparations.
If it was like that, it meant that the method the prince had for forming his Genesis Core was indeed so extraordinary.
"Boy, I thought you brought an army, I didn't expect you to come alone, you really seek death," said the old man.
His voice was so hoarse, it made people who heard it feel uncomfortable.
However, he really deserved to be a super-rich man.
The domineering aura from his voice was very clear. This easily brought respect from others.
He placed his hands on his back, a posture that could practically be called a statement of victory over his enemy.
Only, the prince suddenly showed a smile that seemed cynical.
"Just all of you?" he said in a dismissive tone.
Bruak!
He suddenly forced himself to stand up under the intense gravitational pressure, and he succeeded.
The gravity light trembled because of his movements.
The man controlling the gravity was naturally stunned.
"Mr. Ramsey, this man is very strong. He's much stronger than I imagined," he said.
His name was Leon.
"Hmm..." Ramsey smiled coldly.
"Why so worried about so many of us here," he said.
BANG!
Right after he spoke, the gravity suddenly exploded, shattered and disappeared.
"What?" Ramsey was dumbfounded at that.
He had actually tried the gravity power, just out of curiosity by having Leon use it on him.
Under the force of that gravity, he was extremely depressed, almost unable to move even though he could still stand up like the prince did.
However, the latter turned out to be able to destroy him.
"Just a Class A Explo Spell, see how gravity really works," he said suddenly.
BANG!
Then appeared a more dense and terrifying gravity, possessing a completely black aura.
It made the ground seem to drop down.
Ramsey, Leon, and the others who had reached the 10th Stage were immediately forced to kneel.
As for the rest, they immediately lay down wide-eyed.
The prince had apparently also mastered the Explo Gravity Spell.
Only, his seemed to be stronger.
Even much stronger.
'Gravity is truly an impressive ability,' thought Aldric who was watching from afar.
He was very tempted to possess it. It should have a match with his Nine Star Wheel of Life. After all, gravity was still related to stars.
At this moment, he saw the prince grab his sword, pulling it from its sheath.
Shua!
He slashed the sword towards Ramsey and the others.
"This is bad, hurry up and make a defense!"
Ramsey was an old man, but he seemed to have strong fighting instincts. Perhaps when he was young he had practiced fighting, after all, he grew up in an era where many wars took place.
Two of the men beside him then did something.
Even though they were forced to kneel, their hands were still able to move.
Rumble!
Two red gates and two black gates suddenly appeared in front of them, arrayed from front to back.
They were enormous at over thirty meters tall and about twenty meters wide.
Clang!
The sword slash slammed into the frontmost red gate, making it cut off instantly leaving the man who summoned the gate dumbfounded.
After that, the second gate was also cut off, then the third gate. Only the fourth gate barely survived.
It was only because the sword's slashing power had been drastically reduced after cutting through three such huge gates.
"He's a monster, no wonder he dared to travel alone," Leon said, becoming amazed.
"We're facing a very strong NPC right now," added another, probably Leon's groupmate.
"If it were just us, I'm afraid we'd be finished right away," he said.
"Stop saying nonsense. This old me isn't scared, why are you two getting scared." Ramsey seemed to be annoyed by their conversation so he scolded them.
The two naturally fell silent, not daring to say anything because the real-life Ramsey was too big a figure.
