CHAPTER 288 SOLVE THE CRISIS (PART TWO)
"Sir? Shadow Emperor?" Familiarizing himself with the sound, Darren asked in surprise and glanced at
Finley.
"Yes, it's me. I have two opportunities to help you fight with my strength if I use my power through
Finley's body. Don't worry about that boy," the Shadow Emperor said in high confidence, without any
fear of that boy at all.
"Good. If that is the case, I will count on your help, sir." Bowing to appreciate the help, Darren cupped exclusive content.
his hands to Finley and bid him goodbye. He was about to leave when a cry echoed, "Master, please
take me with you." The Water Kylin, who had been healing himself from the gregarious kicks he had
received from both Darren and Finley, came out. When he learned that Darren was going to leave, he
rushed in front of Darren and begged him to take him along.
"You dead dog! I haven't punished you yet! You still have the face to show up in front of me?" Darren
stared at him coldly and asked, unable to believe the beast's guts. The Water Kylin was terrified by
Darren's stare and quivered while kneeling and persuading him.
"Master, what happened was an accident. I was merely hungry at that time and wanted to look for
some food. I never expected that you would be in danger," the Water Kylin said, trying to be funny and
persuasive at the same time.
"Shut up! You damned beast! I know you did that on purpose! Finley, aren't you doing something to
teach this bastard a lesson? Beat this beast for me!" Determined to get even with the Water Kylin,
Darren motioned to Finley. Now the aura of the Shadow Emperor was nowhere to be found, and Finley
himself was in turmoil. He glared at the Water Kylin without a blink.
"No, No! Master, in times like this, I will spare no effort to save your life. Don't let him beat me, please."
Desperate, the Water Kylin was almost crying as he begged for Darren's mercy. Finley's gaze never
failed to make him tremble and go weak on his knees.
Heeding to the beast's pleas, Darren remembered that when the Water Kylin escaped, he almost died.
Without his help, Darren believed that he could not successfully escape by himself.
"Well, you are right. So Finley, you just beat him half to death. Don't kill him yet." With the words trailing
off, Darren's figure disappeared in the thin air.
The Water Kylin was left there standing and waiting for his fate at Finley's hands.
"Finley, there was a mysterious spiritual pool in the eighth space which should be good to the Water
Kylin. After you beat him, send him there." Across the void, Darren sent a message to Finley with his
spiritual sense secretly.
"I got it," Finley answered, using the same channel. Then he stepped closer to the Water Kylin and
said, "Darren is good to you. If it were me, I would have given you no chance, and you would be a
speck of dust by now."
"Shit! He is never good for me! Now you beat me as hard as you want. I don't care if I am alive or
dead!" With tears in its eyes, the Water Kylin cursed Darren and Finley silently several times.
"Okay. I will do that."
Realizing that Finley meant every word he said, the Water Kylin ran for his life while shouting, "My!
Please help me! This sick man is beating me to death!"
...
"Oho!" Darren got out of the Ancient Void Battlefield and uttered a sigh, relieved. What he experienced
previously made him queasy for a long time.
'My force of control has been almost used up. It will take me several months to recover, ' Darren told
himself worriedly. He had opened the Ancient Void Battlefield once when he was fighting with the Water
Kylin, his servant now. Now that he had opened it again reluctantly. He could not avoid danger in the
outside world by merely entering the Ancient Void Battlefield anytime soon.
The only good point he was holding in to was that he didn't need to consume any force of control to let
the Water Kylin out. If he was really in danger outside of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren could let
the Water Kylin out and give him a hand.
Now that he was out of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren went back to the place that he accidentally
discovered in his battle with the creatures at the Wonder Realm. The place where he found the burnt
statue was a charred, tumbledown hut. Now, however, there were no strange creatures. All of them
were frightened by the Water Kylin and hid away.
Utilizing all his potentials, Darren searched carefully, and after three days of relentless searching, he
found about a dozen ordinary Primitive Stones.
The ordinary Primitive Stones Darren collected could be used to get along well with the grand warriors.
It would be a great help to Darren in harnessing his powers.
Yet, the essential thing for Darren was to find some Primitive Stones containing the Heavenly
Repression Rule. Though it would be rare and hard to find, that was what Darren was looking for.
After collecting all the Primitive Stones in that place, Darren did not want to summon the Water Kylin
out as it was not a good idea. He thought letting the beast out of the Ancient Void Battlefield would
probably just bring some trouble for him again. Letting the idea slip out of his kind, Darren took out the
notebook that Mathew gave him. The contents of the journal were much more detailed compared to
Robb's map.
After reading some notes, Darren thought silently, 'I got it. The south was the place where there were
more Primitive Stones.' Securing the book in his pockets, Darren prepared himself to fly south. He was
determined to look for rare Primitive Stones that contained the Heavenly Repression Rule. He would
risk everything he had to have those stones, even if that meant facing other unfriendly creatures along
the way.
