Chapter 59

Blood splattered across the place as the solar worm was blasted open due to the incident that had just occurred.

The entire crystal was more than eight meters long and wider than three human bodies combined but its tip was only palm-sized.

Due to the force at which it fell along with the combined weight of Gustav, it didn’t just penetrate the solar worm, instead, it caused it to explode into blood and gore.

The notification rang out in his mind as he jumped down from the glowing crystal.

[High energy crystal has been detected]

[Name: Salitre Pure Crystal]

[Does host wish to absorb energy into the system]

[YES/NO]

These notifications had already appeared in Gustav’s line of sight from the moment he leapt upwards but he ignored it.

The crystal was still looking extremely beautiful and glowing brightly even though its tip was covered in corrosive blood.

Gustav dashed out again towards the other solar worm immediately after he jumped down from the crystal.

The solar worm that he just killed was in a much better condition than the one that was alive right now.

They had been taking advantage of their numbers to battle with Gustav earlier but now that one had been annihilated, he would be able to focus on dealing with only this one.

Gustav rained down a massive number of slashes on the last solar worm adding to the grievous amount of injuries it already had.

In another twenty seconds, the solar worm breathed its last and fell to the ground with blood flowing out of its cuts like a fountain.

Gustav didn’t dwell on the notifications, he immediately dashed towards the crystal.

Just as he arrived in front of it, he sensed the approach of solar worms in multitudes.

He could hear them dragging their bodies across the ground as they headed towards this location with speed.

Gustav quickly reached out for his pocket with a look of urgency and brought out a button-like storage device.

The solar worms were speeding towards the three holes at the end of the cave as the b****y scent of their kind wafted across the air.

Immediately after the solar worms arrived at the entrance of the hole, the large crystal disappeared from its spot.

Zing!

The space instantly became pitch black.

The Salitre crystal’s glow always kept the space within the hole bright. Now that Gustav had kept it inside his storage, the place turned dark.

Sqeeuuuee! Sqeeuuuee! Sqeeuuuee!

The solar worms made shrieking sounds as they dashed into the three holes despite the darkness.

They confirmed the death of their leaders and kin and proceeded to start thrashing around the place, looking for the culprit.

They sensed the presence of an intruder earlier but now it had disappeared.

Under the guise of the darkness, Gustav had transformed into a solar worm and used the commotion to leave the cave.

Many other solar worms were still arriving as he was squirming his way through them.

Originally he would have aroused suspicion but the worms arriving didn’t try to question him.

The loud voices of the solar worms announcing the death of their leaders and kin had traveled all across the cave.

Gustav kept moving for about five minutes more before arriving at the entrance of the cave.

The entrance of the cave was empty at this moment. Gustav moved further into the forest for several hundred meters more before transforming back into his human form.

He leaped up and landed on a branch before squatting and staring in the direction of the cave.

The cave was several hundred meters from his position.

He activated God eyes and zoomed his sight so he’d be able to see the entrance of the cave clearly in the dark of night.

’They are all in now... I wonder how many it will end up killing,’ Gustav said internally as his mind linked with what he kept within the three holes.

Inside the first hole, more than a hundred solar worms had gone in. Inside the second and the third hole were the same.

Those that didn’t go in were patrolling the vicinity.

Suddenly a large glowing sky blue circle appeared in mid-air within the three holes.

The glowing blue circles were the size of a human head. Red electrical streaks kept swimming around them.

The worms stared at the glowing circles in awe wondering what it was.

In Gustav’s position, his eyes were still focused on the cave entrance.

"Detonate," He muttered with a low tone.

- Rocking Explosion

- Rocking Explosion

- Rocking Explosion

Within the holes, the glowing blue circles suddenly increased in brightness and expanded immensely. The red electric arcs circulating around them also became extremely unstable and flashed brightly while spreading across the surroundings.

The worms sensed the impending doom but before they could try to escape from the holes...

Boooooooom!

The glowing circles exploded with intensity incinerating the environs and the solar worms along with it.

Crumble! Crumble!

Gustav’s mouth hung slightly opened as he stared at the cave crumbling to fragments and dust right before his very eyes.

The blasts were so powerful that he felt the force from his location. The tree he was standing on and the rest in the surroundings vibrated intensely as a cloud of dust covered the surroundings.

’The energy from the border is this powerful?’

When Gustav was leaving the holes one after the other he planted a little bit of the energy he absorbed from the border. He placed it in a gravitational field that only he could sense.

Gustav was surprised by how much devastation it caused. This further put him in a dilemma about the mixed-breeds escaping from the border.

------

The notifications kept ringing in his ear over and over giving him a feeling of gratification.

He was glad the gravitational energy Bloodline worked well this time.

He had been training himself on how to control and use it effectively but he wasn’t quite there yet.

He even felt reluctant to use the % energy discharge skill in his battle against the solar worm leaders. He was glad it worked out fine this time because there were times when he tried it out during training and things went really south.

’I have to leave now,’ Gustav recalled that this blast would definitely attract other mixed-breeds towards this location.

He quickly turned around and started jumping from tree to tree with speed.

-

Twenty minutes later Gustav had arrived outside the border.

He had spent more than an hour dealing with the solar worms. He quickly ran towards the direction of the neighborhood to make sure that no mixed-breed had escaped the border during his time in the cave.

As Gustav streaked past the trees in the sparse forest area he suddenly sensed something in the distance.

Around seventy meters ahead was an oversized yellow-colored bunny, hopping towards the neighborhood at fast speed.

’Looks like one did manage to leave through the border while I was dealing with the solar worms,’ Gustav’s eyes zoomed in on the thirteen feet tall bunny.

He was glad he finished up with the solar worms earlier than last time. If he had taken longer to deal with them, this mixed-breed would have caused havoc in the neighborhood.

His mind was once again plagued with the question, ’How do they keep escaping through the border?’

Remembering the amount of destruction the energy from the border caused, Gustav was sure that these mixed-breeds were definitely getting help from somewhere.

As Gustav closed in on the bunny, it also noticed him.

Roar!

The bunny roared with a loud voice causing a spiraling sonic wave to shoot out of its mouth towards Gustav.

-Within the border

At the site of the cave, scattered rock fragments could be seen in the vicinity. The air reeked of burnt flesh and a view of destruction was displayed.

The former glorious looking cave was nowhere to be found right now.

Within the vicinity of the crumbled cave, the silhouette of a seven feet tall man in dark clothing was visible under the glow of the moonlight.

Every part of his body was covered up. Black cloak, black boots, and full black mask which covered even his hair up. Even the presence he carried was a dark one that wasn’t easily noticeable.

He squatted in front of the crumbled cave with his index finger placed on the ground.

’I wonder what a mixed-blood is doing within the border?" The man muttered with a husky voice as a red glow coated his fingertip.

Trrooiinn!

A red ripple spread from the point where his finger touched the ground to the surroundings.

It kept spreading till it covered a circumference of more than three hundred meters.

Red glowing footsteps started appearing.

These footsteps were human-shaped. They kept appearing in multiple numbers, extending deep into the forest.

"Hmm, so it’s a kid," The man muttered as he slowly stood up.

"But how did it get into the border?" He turned around to stare at the red glowing footsteps that extended into the forest.

At a particular distance, the footsteps changed from the ground to the trees.

"A Serial ranked should be unable to cause such destruction," He said while turning around to stare at the destroyed cave again.

"Weak but... Abnormal... Very abnormal," The man turned around and started heading in the direction of the footsteps.

"What an unexpected variant," He muttered with a frustrated tone before vanishing straight into thin air.

Back in the sparse forest area, Gustav was currently engaging the bunny mixed-breed.

Several trees had been blasted down due to their battle but the bunny happened to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head.

Gustav was currently standing on the left shoulder area of the bunny and raining barrages of punches down on its head, causing it to bleed even more.

He didn’t pity the bunny in any way and kept pounding its head with punches.

Unlike normal bunnies, this particular one was far from being cute.

Its ears were like pointy black horns. Its eyes glowed an ominously dark color and it had multiple fangs that were more than six inches long.

Its muscular and tall body was enough to chase anyone away in fright.

Apart from all these, whenever the bunny roared the surroundings would be destroyed due to the sonic waves its voice generated.

- Angy And Gustav's Midnight Conversation

Gustav was starting to wonder how the earthlings of the past called bunnies innocent and cute because he couldn’t find an ounce of cuteness or innocence in the mixed-breed he was currently engaging.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Gustav’s fist slammed into the side of its face repeatedly while the bunny kept thrashing around in pain.

It raised its hand and tried grabbing Gustav for the umpteenth time.

Gustav leaped and landed on the other shoulder which enabled him to dodge the swinging arm of the Bunny.

The bunny ended up slapping itself once again as Gustav started raining another set of punches on the other side of its face.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

’This is amazing... After leveling up to this point, my normal strength is now able to deal with level mixed-breeds easily,’ Gustav said internally as he threw his fist back and forth repeatedly.

He could sense his strength really improved after leveling up severally earlier.

From the information he had gathered about mixed-breeds, he knew that this bunny had the strength of a level mixed-breed.

Originally it would take two, step three Zulu ranked mixed-bloods or one step four Zulu ranked to defeat a mixed-breed on this level but now Gustav could do it easily and he wasn’t even at step two yet.

Roar!

The bunny roared in pain again causing sonic waves to shoot out of its mouth.

Bang! Bang!

Two small trees were blasted to smithereens.

It originally tried to aim at Gustav but it was impossible to hit Gustav at that angle.

After a few more minutes, the Bunny fell to the ground and succumbed to death. Its black eyes turned grey as brown blood flowed out of its head.

Two fist-sized holes could be seen on both sides of its head.

Plop!

Gustav landed on both feet after finishing off the bunny.

’Hmm... Should I take its bloodline? It doesn’t seem very useful,’ Gustav wondered.

The bunny wasn’t very strong physically but its sonic roar was pretty powerful. It never hit Gustav since he was able to dodge every of its attack but he could tell that he’d take quite the damage if one of its sonic attacks had made contact with him.

’My storage device is nearly filled up, I’ll need to get another one after storing this,’ Gustav picked up a blue button from his pocket and tapped on it twice.

The corpse of the bunny disappeared with a flash of blue light after he performed that action.

’I’ll decide later,’ Gustav said internally and started patrolling the environment.

He knew another mixed-breed was unlikely to appear but he wasn’t going to risk it.

Nothing was certain, especially after the whole fiasco that happened with the neighborhood when another mixed-breed appeared while he was away in Atrihea city.

-

Three hours later Gustav was returning to his apartment.

It was already midnight so his job was over for the night.

’I need to reschedule the time I visit the border... Going during the night will affect my work,’ Gustav said internally as he climbed the stairs.

His reason for thinking this way was due to what happened this night.

If he went during the day, he could patrol the neighborhood during the night without any form of distractions.

Gustav got to the top floor in a few seconds and was walking through the corridor when he noticed someone standing in front of his apartment.

He kept walking forward without any form of wariness on his face.

The person also noticed him and turned to the side to face him.

"Shouldn’t you be asleep by now?" He asked as he arrived in front of the person.

The person standing in front of his door happened to be Angy.

She was in red shorts and a blue singlet. It was nighttime so a lot of her body parts were exposed including her smooth cleavage causing her to look appealing.

Her fingers fidgeted as she twirled her hair in a shy manner while smiling at Gustav.

"I wanted to talk to you," She said.

Gustav could sense the seriousness in her voice so he didn’t question her about the timing anymore.

Both of them sat in front of Gustav’s door and leaned their back on his door.

’He didn’t invite me in...’ Angy thought with a look of disappointment.
