Chapter 449 Drop Down

"Clang..."

The dazzling flash continued to glitter throughout the entire cavernous space, persisting until after a long while, gradually calming down, replaced once again by the subdued hue of dark red.

"Boom..."

The dark red flames still surged and burned like a raging tide, transforming into a torrent of flames that supported Sabrac's upper body, suspended in mid-air.

"What... what happened?"

"What's going on?"

"Where is that human?"

"Could it be that 'Kaijin (Destructive Blade)' failed to take down that human?"

From above, the Wanderers of the "Bal Masqué" finally began to arrive, they looked at the devastated crater covered in dark red flames, and confusion began to spread among them.

Only Sabrac, alone, gazed at Fang Li's position below.

There was no trace of Fang Li there anymore, just as Sabrac had said— he had escaped during the chaos.

Sabrac fell into silence.

At this moment, a voice came from above.

"Sabrac-dono."

Fecor, waving a pair of Devil wings behind him, slowly descended.

Facing the guardian manager of the "Bal Masqué," Sabrac spoke without waiting for him to speak.

"The target has escaped."

His words lacked any embellishment, stating only the plain truth.

However, shortly afterward, Sabrac began to mutter to himself.

"Although I never considered this possibility before, upon closer inspection, this is the action someone trapped in the cage of Seireiden trying to escape should take. The overwhelming scene of that human massacring everyone was so dominant that I subconsciously forgot about this, resulting in the target escaping. As an assassin, it's a bit embarrassing."

"I also didn't expect that even the 'Kaijin (Destructive Blade)' couldn't take down that human. It seems the caution from Staff Officer-dono and General-dono does make sense." Fecor turned around, looked at Sabrac, and said, watching the half-bodied figure. "Sabrac-dono, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Sabrac responded without any hesitation.

"This level of injury is no problem at all."

As he spoke, the dark red flame torrent beneath Sabrac immediately rose, swallowing his entire body.

In the flames, Sabrac's remaining upper body began to decompose.

Then, a new body began to form.

Perhaps, no one knew?

In reality, the reason Sabrac could unleash such a powerful and terrifying strike from the beginning and possess extraordinary endurance was all because of his true form's immense size.

Yes, his true form.

The imposing man with a heavy aura of death was just Sabrac's incarnation.

In truth, Sabrac's real form was a mud-like creature composed of dark red flames, with a size comparable to a large town, reaching a diameter of ten kilometers.

With such a colossal body, it naturally lacked agility and mobility, despite having tremendous power. It could only be effectively wielded within a limited range, making it extremely inconvenient.

Fortunately, Sabrac's true form could freely traverse through any ordinary substance, much like casting a corresponding Unrestricted Spell.

Therefore, Sabrac's true form generally hides underground and uses an incarnation with a human-like appearance extending from his body to converse or engage in combat with people.

Precisely because of this, Sabrac's aura remains completely hidden. By diluting and expanding his aura to cover the area of his true form, it becomes as difficult to detect as air.

It is precisely because of this that Sabrac's first strike can be so powerful. This is because it is a full-force blow released through his gigantic true form. Even if the prey becomes aware, capturing them in battle becomes challenging, and pursuit can be continued through the extended incarnation.

As a result, having extraordinary Endurance is only natural. Compared to the massive true form, Sabrac's human-like incarnation is equivalent to a single strand of hair. Even if it is severed, it doesn't matter.

"So what if I can't recover? As long as I discard this body, I can simply create a new one."

Under this low, rumbling tone, the dark red flame torrent began to recede. Within it, Sabrac reappeared unscathed, standing atop the raging flames.

"Until now, I've never failed, and I won't in the future."

Sabrac muttered to himself once again.

"That human must still be in Seireiden. I'll continue the pursuit; I don't believe he can truly escape."

With that said, Sabrac rode the fire wave and pursued in the direction of the exit.

Seeing this, Fecor immediately issued orders to the surrounding forces.

"You, split into several teams and search for the human within Seireiden. The rest, continue guarding outside. We absolutely cannot let that human escape."

Under Fecor's command, the surrounding forces immediately dispersed, surging in all directions.

In the end, only Fecor remained in the entire cavernous space.

Gazing at the ruins turned into a dark red sea of flames, Fecor whispered softly.

"It seems necessary to wait for Trinity to retrieve the Treasure Tool to deal with this human."

...

On the other side, in the corridors, one by one, the Wanderers, accompanied by large groups of Rinne, formed teams and began the pursuit throughout Seireiden.

"Quick!"

"Go over there!"

"Search carefully!"

"Jaegers, don't idle. Quickly find the human's whereabouts!"

"We absolutely cannot let that human act recklessly on our 'Bal Masqué' territory!"

"Search!"

"Find him!"

Under such clamor, the teams rushed through the corridors, filling the space with the continuous sound of footsteps.

In a corner of one of the corridors, Fang Li leaned against the wall, hiding behind a pillar.

"Ugh..."

The pain from his chest made Fang Li's hand, covering the wound, involuntarily tighten.

That hand was already stained with blood.

However, Fang Li's remaining hand firmly gripped a sharp dagger, and a pair of ice-blue Mystic Eyes gazed outward.

"Quick!"

"Search this area too!"

There, a group of pursuers started closing in.

Watching the large team gradually approaching under the leadership of a Wanderer, Fang Li took a deep breath and spoke softly.

"Let's see which side falls first..."

As the words fell, Fang Li's figure suddenly rose, soaring out with astonishing speed.

...
