"Treasure? what treasure?!"
Bang!
The Earthen spikes binding the Void Horned Lightning Winged Wyrms finally gave way, shattering into sharp fragments as two of the Void Horned Lightning Winged Wyrms sprang towards Aiden, opening their wide mouths as they revealed their set of sharp fangs.
Puchi!
A Sharp sword beam pierced right through one of the Void Horned Lightning Winged Wyrm, causing its head to instantly explode.
"Gosh. You are really adamant on protecting your secret aren't you?" Oge clicked her tongue as she raised her saber into the air.
Void Piercer!
Boom!
A powerful saber image shot into the air, slicing apart the Tribulation Clouds in the skies before descending down. The movement of the saber image was neither fast or slow. It was like it was following the natural rhythm of the world. At that moment it was like a powerful diety had descended upon the mortal world. Wherever the sword beam passed, space shattered like fragile glass. The Void Horned Lightning Winged Wyrms didn't even have the chance to defend themselves before they were all annihilated by that single saber image.
Boom!
After destroying the Void Horned Lightning Winged Wyrms, the power within the sabre image seemed to have reduced a little bit as it landed on the forest ground. Many tree life that stretched out for hundreds of meters instantly exploded from the shockwaves as the entire landscape was cleanly cleaved into two equal halves.
Beastial roars echoed loudly in the air as a myraid number of Feind Beast started a stampede. Just like the Crimson Moon Phyton, these feind beasts had previously set up their various territories within the forest. However thanks to Oge's attack, their homes ended up being destroyed.
"Ah. Ah. Ah" for once, a look of exhaustion appeared on Oge's face as her knees gave way, with cold sweat sliding down her cute face like a stream.
"What.. What the hell was that attack?" Marie gulped nervously as she looked at the exhausted Oge and then the desolate landscape that stretched into the distance.
The once lush forest was now a desolate field with scarred soil, fragments of exploded trees and destroyed rare herbs.
Even the tribulation clouds had been forced to disperse.
"Are you okay?" Aiden helped Oge up on her feet.
"If you call seeing triple you at once, as fine.. then I'm sure as hell in my prime" Oge's legs wobbled as she almost tripped.
Fortunately, Aiden was there to support her.
"That's an Asfotedia Crown flower and the infamous Blood Mary Rose. There's even the Sapphire Dew Lotus! damnit! we would've struck it big if we brought all these to an auction!" Marie's eyes nearly cried blood as she recognized about a dozen of rare herbs
Unfortunately many of them were either too damaged to be used, or mashed up. If not for the fact that she had witnessed Oge's terrifying Saber attack, Marie was sure she would've electrocuted the other party to death for ruining such a good opportunity to make it big.
"You sure you are okay?" Aiden couldn't help but ask when he saw just how pale Oge was.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
It would seem using that previous technique placed a serious strain on her.
"I'll live. Unfortunately I am not sure I will be in the right shape to engage in any battles.. for like a week!" Oge groaned.
"However I had to do it. At your current level, you are not ready to face a real tribulation. It was only through sheer coincidences that you managed to reach this far. I had to do something or you were going to die like that snake" Oge pointed towards the motionless corpse of the Crimson Moon Phyton.
"Eh? Rin, what are you doing there?" she finally discovered that Rin was silently standing in front of the corpse, seemingly lost in thought.
"Aiden, can I have the corpse?" Rin requested with a serious expression, while doing his best to conceal his excitement.
"If it's important to you, then sure " Aiden didn't ask any questions.
Instead, he observed their surrounding.. or at least what was left of it.
"That move of yours.. I am confident it must've caused quite the disturbance. An army of Winged Panda Men might come storming this place anytime soon"
"This time when they do.. let's keep some of them alive for questioning " Oge weakly advised as she gave Marie a slight warning glare.
About ten minutes later, the group suddenly heard loud tremors on the ground.
"They are here " Aiden who had alerted the group.
A pair of lightning wings appeared behind Marie as she held Oge before shooting into the air, concealing the both of them behind the clouds.
A tunnel appeared on the ground, which Aiden jumped into, along with Red Rose. As for Rin, he was inside the corpse of the Crimson Moon Phyton. Ten minutes ago, he had forced his way inside and had since not stepped out.
A couple moment after the Blood Dragon Legion dispersed, an army of Winged Panda Men came into view. The army consisted of about twenty Silver Rangers, led by a Silver General. However unlike the previous armies the group had encountered, this one was more laid back
It was like they were small fragment of an even larger army that were on patrol duty.
"Stop!" the Silver General gave a stern command as he halted before the corpse of the Crimson Moon Phyton.
The troop behind him instantly stopped right on their tracks. The collective instantaneous stomp of so many Silver Rangers with large bodies caused the ground to shake.
Aiden and Red Rose who were hiding underground were affected by this disturbance. However there were wise enough not to make any sound.
Approaching the Crimson Moon Phyton, the Silver General ran his finger along the bloody surface.
"The foolish beast was killed by its own tribulation" it sneered mockingly, speaking in the native tongue of the Winged Panda Men.
"However this is no good. The Medicine Garden was destroyed in the process. How am I going to explain myself now?" it grumbled.
"Huh?" the Silver General suddenly noticed movement within the giant corpse. Just as it instinctively whipped out the large club behind his back, the ground beneath them split apart as rows of earthen spikes shot out like worms, entrapping the troops behind him.
Flexing his burly muscles, the Silver General attempted to smash the Earthen Prison apart when a pale but handsome looking fellow silently appeared before him, blocking the club with one hand.
"You are mine " Aiden smirked as his eyes glowed red.
Bang!
The Silver General was sent flying back by a single lighting kick from Aiden. Although Aiden failed to completely refine the lightning seed, his efforts didn't go to waste.
Although none of his lightning based skills experienced any level up, his mastery over them had become more refined. It was like archery. In the past Aiden was like a beginner archer when it came to his lightning skills. Although he could pull the bow strings, he solely depended on the quality of the bow, strings and arrows.
Now he was like an expert marksman, capable of controlling how efficient his shots were, even when using low grade or top grade arrows.
A pair of lightning wings appeared behind Aiden as he sped after the Silver General like a lightning bolt.
The Silver Rangers who were trapped within *Earthen Fangs* were still mulling over their next course of action when a lightning bolt dropped from the skies.
"Howdy!" the *lightning bolt* was revealed to be Marie as her fist became wrapped in a layer of lightning gauntlet, grabbing the closest Silver Ranger and running her hands through his skull.
"Aiden said to leave survivors" a slit appeared on the neck of an unsuspecting Silver Ranger as a pale hand grabbed his head, easily uprooting it.
"So, watch yourself" Red Rose silently stepped away from the headless corpse as she tossed the head into the distance. Green blood slowly slid down her sharp claws that were even sharper than an Omega level enchanted dagger.
With Aiden leading away the Silver General, Oge recuperating and Rin busy doing 'who-knows-what' inside the Crimson Moon Phyton corpse, the two female Vampires were left to deal with the troop of Silver Rangers by themselves.
