Chapter 38: Smoke
"Monkey, make this gravity disappear," Ramsey said again to the man at the end.
He was thin and gave the impression of a monkey so Ramsey called him a monkey.
The man was clearly offended but also dared not say anything.
"Boss Ramsey, I'm afraid I can only reduce this gravitational force, can't eliminate it because it's too strong," he said in response, explaining in advance about his condition.
After saying that, he pointed his hand upwards where a mysterious light of various colors emanated from his hand, merging with that gravitational light.
Because of that light, the strength of that gravity finally decreased.
Everyone was able to stand up because of it.
"Quickly scatter," Ramsey said.
He didn't really care that the man he called a monkey couldn't remove the gravity. What mattered was that everyone could now spread out.
If everyone spread out, then the prince couldn't direct his gravity at everyone because there was a limit to his reach.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All those people instantly jumped in various directions, including those who were still at the 8th or 9th Stage.
The prince watched them before looking at the monkey-like man.
"You have an extraordinary ability, unfortunately your ability level is too low. Even so, you're still too annoying," he said.
Whoosh!
He lunged towards him with a movement so fast that only his shadow could faintly be seen.
In an instant, he appeared in front of the monkey-like man, making his eyes widen.
"So that there won't be any other problems, so you should die early," he said again.
Shua!
He slashed his sword at him, not giving him a chance to do anything.
The next thing that happened was his head and body separating, a sight that left Ramsey and the others gasping.
"What's wrong with this game? How did we meet such a powerful NPC?" One of the men he carried wondered, looking utterly astonished.
They all began to worry about them being the next to die.
This would be a huge loss as they would have to start all over again.
"Don't panic, just keep your distance from him!" Ramsey shouted again.
He didn't like seeing panic which could basically mess up his plan.
"Boy, don't think you can win!" He said to the prince coldly.
While in the air, he took out a wooden staff shaped like a snake, coiled from top to bottom.
"Five elemental dragons, come and turn this little boy into ashes," he said again as he pointed the staff upwards.
Rumble!
The sky suddenly rumbled as the five elements, fire, water, wind, lightning, and earth, each in the shape of a huge dragon appeared in the sky.
They gave the impression that they could create a disaster.
Simultaneously, they descended in the direction where the prince was.
The latter narrowed his eyes, becoming somewhat wary.
"You seem to be quite strong too, old man," he said.
The old man seemed to be only physically weak, but his spiritual power could not be underestimated as he could summon five elements at once.
Even Aldric thought his attacks were terrifying.
'Maybe it's better if they all fight to the death inside the World Cube.'
Suddenly he had an idea.
He was the third party. The only thing he had to gain was an advantage when the two fighting parties had a disadvantage.
If they fought freely in a large area, they could still avoid fatal injuries. This could not be said if they fought in a limited area.
When he got the idea, Aldric finally put all the Monster Cores he had stored into the World Cube, increasing the artifact's energy.
Whoosh!
He then threw the artifact onto that hill where the fight was happening.
It was still connected to him, so he was able to control it.
BANG! BANG!
At the same time, the five elements in the form of the dragon slammed into the prince, turning into a powerful explosion of the five elements.
Spring Hill trembled to the point that it seemed to almost collapse from the attack.
"Did it work?"
The old man's subordinates finally became somewhat excited again.
However, a moment later they were stunned as they saw a figure surrounded by an array of swords leap through the explosion.
The swords were arranged so tightly, as if they were a single unit.
Of course, they were separate parts because they separated directly as they came out of the explosion.
The prince's figure was revealed, unharmed in the slightest.
Instantly, Ramsey's expression became ugly.
"Attack!"
He finally asked his subordinates to attack.
This was an absolute order. He gave a death glare to everyone he ordered to attack.
If they didn't carry out this order, he would likely make things difficult for them in the real world.
One by one, those with close combat skills had to lunge at the prince.
The result was of course their deaths one by one.
Their necks or bodies were decapitated by the prince's sword slashes.
However, to Ramsey, this seemed to be part of the plan.
He glanced at Leon.
In response, Leon threw something at the prince, a strange green ball.
Whoosh!
It glided swiftly towards the prince who was busy slashing at the people who approached him.
His eyes narrowed when he saw the green ball.
Before he could do anything, the green ball exploded, turning into green smoke that expanded at high speed.
"Back off!"
Ramsey quickly moved backwards as the green ball was still about to reach his location.
However, just as he took a few steps back, he suddenly hit a wall of faint light, sending him flying.
"What?" He was so dumbfounded that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The same thing happened to Leon and the others.
They all stared at the wall.
As they observed, they finally realized that there was a cube of light blocking them from passing by.
How did it appear here?
They were all breathing heavily.
At this moment, that green smoke finally arrived at their location, surrounding them as well.
What exactly was that green smoke?
Aldric who was watching from afar wasn't sure either.
He just felt that it was extremely dangerous.
Of course, this was beyond his expectation as he had just thrown the World Cube, Leon suddenly threw a green ball that turned into green smoke.
