Planet Master 29- Resolution (2)

So with that determined, the Hinon Federation Forces were preparing for the last push. This ti, their target was the true cause of the problem the Federation had experienced.

Along with them was the Royal Guard as well as the organization that Long Wu was part of. The cooperation of the three proved to be effective as they started to surround and encircle the enemy in a few places.

“Since their action proved that they are desperate. We will make it so that they have no way out.” Long Wu declared confidently.

Bruce nodded. They applied a subtle but real pressure against the Snatcher so that they would slowly deplete all the remaining strength of the enemy. Of course, they did not want to worsen the situation so they did not make the enemy feel desperate as it could be dangerous.

Ti passed and then a week after the encirclent had been established, Bruce noticed that Long Wu was preparing himself along with the rest of the group.

“Is it the ti?” Bruce asked.

“It is confird that the current leader of the Snatcher is in one of the encirclents we have established. We will do the decapitation operation and swiftly bring an end to this.” Long Wu replied while his expression was serious enough that Bruce could not co up with any words.

Bruce took a deep breath and then said, “Dead or alive, bring that person to . The people on the Comberth Continent need an explanation regarding the Snatcher’s action.”

Long Wu suddenly replied, “I can’t promise that. After all, if that person is soone with Necromancer’s Trait, it will be troubleso to present it to you.”

“That is not a problem that you should be concerned about. We will deal with it when the ti cos.” Bruce went silent for a while before he continued, “I wish you luck.”

“Luck, huh? Well, there are always two sides of luck so I hope I can overturn it to my favor.” Long Wu smiled when he heard about it but he replied nonetheless.

Long Wu then led the Royal Guard to co with him. This ti, he would beco the sharpest spear that would penetrate the enemy’s heart.

-

After arriving at the nearest encirclent, which was also the place where the leader of the Snatcher was located, Long Wu sensed that there was only one Transcendent from the fluctuation of the Undead Elent.

So he headed to the source of it, surpassing the Royal Guard that was moving to attack the inside of the encirclent.

The forces that encircled the city gave way after confirming the identity of the group.

Long Wu then sensed that the Transcendent from the opposite side perceived him and moved closer to him in return. Long Wu then unsheathed a small dagger from the scabbard that was located on his left chest.

This was his main weapon for fighting. Other than that, he was also good at close-quarter combat and barehanded combat.

Bolstered by the Undead Elent due to the Necromancer’s Trait, Long Wu’s prowess increased dramatically.

He knew that the battle this ti would be the resolution to the entire Heavensend Kingdom and probably, humanity as a whole.

So he focused his gaze on the one figure who got closer and closer to his position.

The figure was a middle-aged man with a white robe and blue lineants on it. He held a sword and emanated a pressure that ordinary humans would succumb to. It was the pressure that ca from being able to reach the Core Formation Realm.

Long Wu had naturally stabilized his core so his foundation was probably stable. He also did not underestimate any enemy he t. He gripped his dagger harder and circulated the Undead Elent inside of him.

This was done so that he could face any kind of battle, making his situation favorable in battle. Circulating the Undead Elent also empowered him so he did just that.

The middle-aged man then moved fast enough that Long Wu barely caught his movent with his eyes. He raised the dagger as he predicted the trajectory of the sword and preemptively tried to parry it with his dagger.

Clang!

Both the sword and the dagger t and produced a tallic noise. What surprised Long Wu was that the middle-aged man could also coat his Undead Elent to the edge of his sword. Long Wu naturally also did the sa with the edge of his dagger.

From the first exchange, Long Wu found out that they were equal.

It ant that the opponent was like him in battle prowess at the second heavenstage of the Core Formation Realm.

They did not say a word because they knew that each other was the opponent.

Long Wu then gripped the dagger harder as he pushed it with all the power he could muster. His opponent was doing the sa with his sword.

The clash of the two was carrying a strong wind and also made the center of the clash flash with black color.

Long Wu then applied one of the things he had learned about the manipulation of self-energy and that could be applied to the Undead Elent.

Then a change occurred. The blade of the sword was slowly chipped in the interlocked clash of weapons. Long Wu then delivered a kick at the opponent.

The middle-aged man saw this and also raised his leg to intercept the attack. The attack was successfully intercepted. Long Wu saw another opportunity and released the dagger from the direct clash with the sword and slashed at the throat of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was also experienced as he quickly pulled back the sword so that the tip deflected the trajectory of the dagger which now changed to slash at his forehead.

Of course, the middle-aged man did not forget to use his other hand to launch a simultaneous attack at Long Wu.

Long Wu managed to injure the middle-aged man but it was not enough. He lunged forward to evade the blow that was coming. Still emanating the Undead Elent, the two of them were locked in a tight and fierce combat.

The surrounding scene was actually the private troops of the nobles of the Heavensend Kingdom against the encirclent of the Hinon Federation Forces as well as the Royal Guard.

They knew from the start that the battle between Transcendent would be devastating to the surroundings so they purposefully evaded such places. They could only look at it from afar.

And that decision was proven to be correct. Air blasts, reverberation, and also the Undead Elent emanated from the clash between the two.

As for them, they had to eliminate the enemy. So alongside the battle between the Transcendent, it was accompanied by the sound of various gunshots and screams of agony.

This created a scene in which the people involved shuddered. But they had to do what they had to do as a person, surviving the battle.

No matter what, they tried their best to survive. So of their comrades were shot right in front of their eyes but they could only take cover and retaliate.

This created a bit of a stalemate where both sides were not able to move to gain an advantage. But that changed when the clash between Transcendents reached them.

Long Wu was pushing his dagger into the chest of the middle-aged man while the latter tried to defend himself with his sword by crossing it in front of his chest.

But Long Wu was unleashing all his might so the force and the sharpness of the dagger was amplified and that caused another nick at the sword of the middle-aged man.

One attacked while the other defended. Long Wu pushed the middle-aged man until they reached the battlefield where the two opposing forces had gathered.

Dust billowed and the Undead Elent started to spread but then the Undead Elent gathered to form a line that separated the two.

Long Wu pushed a bit more and then the cracking sound could be heard as the middle-aged man's sword started to break down. As its pieces flew to Long Wu, he felt a slight pain in his hand but he did not care at all.

‘Kill!’

That was all he thought as he landed the tip of the dagger into the middle-aged man’s chest. The middle-aged man was unable to resist as he also unleashed all his might to block the dagger.

Sadly, the prized sword that the middle-aged man got was unable to beat the dagger that stabbed into his body. The sword hilt was still being held by the middle-aged man so he stabbed Long Wu with it in his hand.

Long Wu grunted a little but continued to stab the dagger deeper into the middle-aged man’s body.

Of course, the middle-aged man did not give up easily. His hand ford into a knife hand as he directed his attack on Long Wu’s neck.

Long Wu did not mind the attack at all as he started to perceive the Undead Elent inside his enemy and tried to make it into his own by yanking so of the Undead Elent inside the middle-aged man.

A scream echoed as the middle-aged man felt extre pain coming and the attack that he launched faltered and landed with only a quarter of its power. That power was not enough to injure Long Wu’s neck and he knew it.

Long Wu then twisted the dagger as flesh and blood sputtered from the middle-aged man along with the Undead Elent.

The middle-aged man then unleashed one attack after another, this ti the intensity and the frequency increased.

This also caused Long Wu so injuries but he kept absorbing the Undead Elent from the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man felt incomparable pain like a hook that stuck to his flesh suddenly got pulled. Or like the internal organs were being squeezed left and right.

Long Wu ignored the injuries he sustained because he absorbed more than half of the Undead Elent the middle-aged man possessed. The middle-aged man saw that despite all his efforts to attack Long Wu with his limb, all of it proved to be futile.

He beca desperate as he unleashed all of the available Undead Elent inside of him and tried to do sothing unimaginable.

Long Wu sensed the anomaly and cursed directly before pushing the middle-aged man into a building. Long Wu himself went as far away as possible.

“Run!” he said loudly. The Royal Guard and the Hinon Federation Forces who recognized Long Wu knew that sothing was up and retreated while their opponent was stunned.

No sooner they retreated, a large explosion occurred which caused a lot of the Undead Elent to spread around the epicenter of the explosion.

There were casualties but it ca from their opponent as they were a bit slow to react. The Royal Guard and the Hinon Federation Forces were able to retreat safely.

After that, they continued marching forward toward the center of the city where a certain building was suspected to be the hideout of the Snatcher.

Long Wu felt goosebumps as he realized that the middle-aged man chose to self-destruct himself in such a manner.

‘Looks like he is a man of pride.’ Long Wu then went to the center of the explosion where a small crater had been ford.

There, he did not even see the remains of the middle-aged man but a lot of black ashes were at the center of the crater. There, he saw his dagger unhard from the explosion.

He grabbed the dagger as he checked for damage. But he did not even see a tiny crack on it. He was surprised to see that his dagger was durable enough to withstand an explosion from the Core Formation Realm Transcendent.

As for the building, it directly collapsed due to the explosion and the crater was all that remained.

The rest of the group could only stare at the devastation with mouths agape and eyes wide open. They could not believe that there was such a destructive power other than bombs and artillery shells.

This was beyond their comprehension so they could only imprinted the scene deep into their minds.

Long Wu looked at the city center where another battle happened. He directly went there and found out that there were several people he knew through the description of his subordinates.

They were trying to escape!

He had to stop them. That was why he sprinted so fast that people mistakenly saw him flying low near the ground.

Through the small street, Long Wu managed to get a shortcut through the buildings, reaching the specific buildings where the top mbers of the Snatcher resided.

Long Wu spread his sense with the help of the Undead Elent. With it, he could detect the life elent of a person clearly and perceived several of the life elents were going away.

He pursued the escaping people with haste.

“We managed to escape from there, but where should we go?” among the escapee, one of them asked the leader in front. They were running in the small street which could only contain two people at most.

The leader of the escapee was soone shifty, he kept looking around before he replied, “Wherever there is opportunity of course. Look at this place, it doesn’t have any more opportunities for us. We might as well leave.”

But then the leader felt sothing was approaching. Sothing that held malice toward them!

But the mont the leader perceived that it was too late!

They saw a black mist approaching them at high speed. Then it stopped right in front of them, obstructing their escape route.

They could also feel that sothing terrifying was right in front of them. Of course, they were all familiar with this pressure.

‘A Transcendent!?’

That term was the first one to blare in their mind the mont they felt the pressure. This pressure was due to the difference in strength between them. Their mind perceived it as a great threat to the preservation of life.

That was why their legs were having difficulties moving unlike the usual. So of them even fell on their knees, unable to bear the natural pressure that the Transcendent gave them.

The second thing on their mind was actually that they were in deep trouble. Because the strongest Transcendent in their group went to intercept what was probably the strongest Transcendent from the opponent.

From the looks of it, that person was defeated.

They could only stay in their places, unable to co up with words. Their words were stuck in their throat, slowly choking them.

“From the looks of it, you all realize what my presence here ans. I will cut it short, surrender!” Long Wu loudly proclaid which caused cracks to appear on the nearby buildings.

The group closed their ears because the noise being generated was not friendly to their ears. Long Wu stood still as he saw the escapee unable to mount any sort of resistance.

“We surrender! Don’t-don’t kill !” one of the people then said as loud as possible, afraid that Long Wu would kill him if he did not state it.

Then the rest of the people also said sothing to that effect. One of them even pissed himself due to the great fear he had experienced.

Soone who could defeat the strongest Transcendent from their side was probably equal to or stronger than him. Of course, they also slled a slight iron odor.

Then they realized that it was the injury the Transcendent in front of them had sustained. That did not make him look weak, instead, it made him look ferocious.

Long Wu nodded before he got a familiar blue-colored rope from his small bag. He tied all of the people in the group with it.

He then directed them to the familiar buildings. It was the base that the group had decided to abandon.

There, Long Wu interrogated them thoroughly.

“Are you saying that the leader of the Snatcher has been missing since the incident at the Nine Suns City?” Long Wu asked to be sure.

“Yes, after a large explosion occurred at that place we have never seen him since. He’s probably dead.” The leader of the group said ingratiatingly.

“Hmm, good. One last question, who is the Right Hand?” Long Wu threw one more question.

“I don’t know. All I know is that he is the one in charge of the affairs at the Comberth Continent. Believe , please!”

Long Wu realized that so things were done with the help of the Hinon Federation while the rest happened due to happenstances. But he still did not find out about the Right Hand.

That codena was important to Long Wu because everything he had experienced in his life was because of that person.

Long Wu sighed in helplessness. Then he went outside the room and he made a gesture to the Royal Guard to detain those who were in the room.

They were probably going to be sentenced with the laws of the Heavensend Kingdom. This was the first step for the Heavensend Kingdom to reform from the inside out. Long Wu would like to see a better holand where he was born.

He hoped that no other people had to experience what he had gone through.
