Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1547: On the way

"Remember, the strongest people in this world are Rune Summoners"

A shirtless muscular man was teaching a group of students on an empty field.

"Teacher, I heard that there are magicians, martial artists, as well as weapon wielders in other worlds; how are they, compared to Rune Summoners?" a student asked.

"Ahahaha, those Professionists can't even hold a candle in front of our rune spirit summons"

The muscular man answered.

He shifted into a pose to mobilize the spirit summoning around on his body to activate the runes outside his skin.

Light manifested from the runes to form a Ghostly Wolf that was 7-8 meters tall in the empty field.

"Take a look, this is your teacher's spirit summoning battle beast——- the Professionists you mentioned earlier would only end up dead in front of my battle beast!"

The muscular man clapped his hand.

The large Ghostly Wolf howled:

「 Brats, this great one is one of the three greatest spirit summoning beasts in this world, make sure to behave yourself in front of me! 」

It opened its clear green eyes to observe the students.

All the students looked at the large glowing beast with a hint of excitement in its eyes.

Some had even taken a step back out of fear.

Suddenly.

Three tiny black dots appeared in the sky.

Boom!!!

As soon as they appeared, the black dots crashed into the ground like an asteroid in the middle of the training field.

The ground trembled.

Everyone lost their balance and fell on their behinds.

Three figures stepped out from the large crater.

A swordsman.

A black dog that exuded black flames.

A beautiful woman who wore a metal facemask and wielded a rapier—— wait a minute, they're shirtless——- he was a man!

"Peh" the facemask man spat up some blood and commented: "Those monsters sure are annoying"

"It's ok, as long as that thing doesn't come by itself, we'd be able to deal with a few minions without any issues—- not to mention, we've already gone to quite a few worlds" the swordsman commented.

The black flames dog said: "Let me ask——"

He looked around and immediately saw the 7-8 meters tall Ghostly Wolf.

"Ah, doggie over there, come here" the black dog said.

The Ghostly Wolf shivered as it moved close to the ground, gradually approaching the black dog.

"Which world is this?" the black dog asked.

「S-sir, this is the Great Spirit Summoning world 」 the Ghostly Wolf's ears were completely flat on its head while it lowered itself when it answered.

"Great world? Such a mundane world has the courage to call itself a 'Great world'?" the black dog chuckled.

"I know this place! It seems like we're not too far away from them" the facemask man commented.

They both turned to the swordsman.

The man scowled and looked up.

Suddenly, the sky became dark.

Red blood dyed the entire sky.

"Good, it didn't come personally" the black dog sighed in relief.

"Hm"

The swordsman raised his sword straight at the sky.

——Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]!

With his Star River Saint cultivation realm, any sword techniques he unleashed would far surpass their normal power.

A vast sea of black sword images manifested from the sword to sweep across this entire world before rising through the clouds.

Far above the sky, a curt scream could be heard.

"I eradicated it, there'll be no more worries about it reporting our location" the man lowered his sword and said.

He glanced down at his wrist and said: "Go—-"

Boom!

His figure leapt into the sky and broke a large hole in it, then instantly disappeared.

The facemask man and black dog also flew into the sky with him and entered the black hole in the sky.

Everyone in the field felt incredibly moved.

The Ghostly Wolf had already dispelled its summoning and vanished.

After a long while, the students seemed to have remembered something and turned towards their teacher.

The muscular man appeared a bit embarrassed.

"Little brats" he shouted, "Our rune summoning is truly the most powerful, it's just that sometimes the spirit beasts we summon aren't really the best"

A pair of clear green eyes appeared behind him.

A large claw was placed on his shoulder.

「 What… did you just now? 」

The Ghostly Wolf had returned and profoundly asked.

The muscular man froze on the spot.

Among his students, one of the female students no longer cared to watch the drama and hurriedly left the training field.

That female student hurriedly returned to her dorm room and closed the door behind herself.

She breathed heavily before finally regaining her calm.

"Who… exactly are you?" she asked the void of space.

A voice resounded from thin air, right as a UI appeared in front of her eyes.

[Welcome, girl from the Spirit Summoning world]

[I am Lady Darksea, I stopped here because of your excellence]

[From today onwards, you shall walk the path to become a true Combatant]

[—-Are you ready?]

The girl stood there blankly for a long while.

…

Gu Qing Shan's trio continued moving forward.

During the past few days, the giant eyeball had begun to take over the entire Pantheon.

Fresh blood flowed through the dark tunnel and reached into the countless worlds residing inside it.

It was in so much of a hurry that it didn't even care to take over these worlds and was solely focused on searching for the frozen corpse's traces.

Gu Qing Shan's trio was following the instructions of [Longing] to head towards Fei Yue.

A few hours later.

They chose a secluded place in the tunnel to reorganize themselves.

Gu Qing Shan was naturally responsible for cooking, he quickly whipped up a few dishes, arranged the table, then popped another bottle of liquor open.

The three of them enjoyed a meal.

"There's something I can't understand at all"

Crow undid the metal facemask's cover, took a long sip of liquor, then finally spoke up.

Boss continued: "What can't you understand?"

"If that eyeball is so impressive that it doesn't even fear [Great Flood], who would be able to restrain it from now on?" Crow asked.

Boss heaved a long sigh: "That's truly a serious issue. In front of these guys, the current living beings are truly too weak"

Gu Qing Shan put his glass down and commented: "According to my observations, the rate of Apocalypses appearing in the infinite worlds is also increasing, that's why I had discussed with Lady Darksea and began to leave the power of [Order] in the worlds we go past"

"Would that help at all?" Crow asked.

"[Order] can allow living beings to evolve, [Order] itself is also constantly evolving—— the only issue is whether or not they achieve it in time" Boss chimed in.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss and suddenly asked: "Why do you seem like you're a bit unfocused?"

Boss froze a bit before frowning: "I don't know either, I just feel like I've forgotten something"

"So you can't think of anything?" Crow asked.

"I'm not affected by any sort of techniques either, I just really feel like I've ignored something" Boss replied.

"If you forgot it, then it probably isn't important" Gu Qing Shan tried consoling him.

"No, this is giving me a very bad feeling, it's constantly plaguing my mind" Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

Boss' wealth of knowledge, secrets, and experience could be considered nearly infinite——

If he had truly forgotten something crucial, who would be able to help him?

The three of them exchanged glances and felt a bit clueless.

A while later.

Gu Qing Shan said: "I have a solution… but it won't necessarily be effective"

"Give it a try, that's still better than doing nothing" Crow said.

"Hm" Gu Qing Shan nodded.

He searched inside his chest and pulled out a colorful rooster statue.

"What is this?" Boss asked.

"A Mysticism artifact that can help me collect information"

Gu Qing Shan pulled on the rooster's comb, making it come alive in an instant.

The rooster left Gu Qing Shan's hand, jumped onto the table and picked up one of the glasses on the table.

"I've already drunk from that" Crow couldn't help but call out.

"You got AIDS or something?" the rooster asked.

"You're the one who's got AIDS" Crow instinctively snapped back.

The rooster ignored him and finished the entire glass in a few gulps.

"Hic—- youngster Gu, how come you haven't called out to me for a while already?"

It hiccuped before asking.

Gu Qing Shan replied: "I didn't have any Soul Points recently; it took me a few days of hunting to gather a bit"

The colorful rooster appeared pleased and said: "Hm, everything's fine as long as you have Soul Points. What do you want to ask?"

Gu Qing Shan pointed at Boss and said: "This is my sworn brother, I wanted to ask something about him——- he has something he can't remember at all; can you help him out?"

The colorful rooster put the glass down and told him with a serious expression: "Youngster Gu, you've already mistaken, you know?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I'm your personal intelligence system, spending all of my efforts searching for intelligence relating to you every single day; I've had to focus my full attention on you all this time, and now you're asking me to collect information for someone else——- tsk tsk tsk, and you still call yourself a proper person?" the colorful rooster's eyes were practically becoming red with tears as it spoke.

It turned around and wiped its tears with its wings.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's just that my sworn brother's matter is very important, we really couldn't come up with anything so I thought about you, if you think it's not good, then I——-"

Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.

He noticed that the colorful rooster still had one wing on its back, discreetly forming the shape of a heart.

A heart… I think this implied that…

Gu Qing Shan changed his mind and said: "—- Then I'll pay you double the Soul Points"

The rooster suddenly turned around.

Its eyes were no longer red, it used its wings to pat its chest and said with a moved tone:

"Soul Points or not, your sworn brother is my sworn brother"

"Now, let us resolve your sworn brother's issue!"
