Chapter 41: The Method
"You do have abilities," said Aldric from outside the gravity area.
"Do you dare to come closer?" the prince asked.
"Hmph!" Aldric smiled coldly, activating his body’s power so that all his veins glowed brightly.
Whoosh!
He literally lunged into the gravity with a momentum that seemed uncontrollable.
Rocks flew up because of his movements.
The prince showed a solemn expression instantly, made aware that he was meeting an extremely powerful opponent.
He increased his gravity power to the maximum so that all the air within the gravity stuck to the ground, making the top of the space devoid of air.
Shua!
However, to the prince’s surprise, when Aldric entered his gravity, he did not slow down at all. He was still as fast as before.
Instead, his gravity was made to vibrate uncontrollably, just like when he was moving under Leon’s gravity.
At first glance, he seemed unaffected, but only he knew that the gravity was not strong enough to suppress the power of his active body.
He took out the random greatsword he had gotten from the dead players.
Once it arrived in front of the prince, he swung it with all his might.
The latter slashed his sword at the greatsword.
The result was that the greatsword was instantly cut off.
It was indeed too sharp a sword. Aldric could not overcome that.
However, he was able to attack with his fists.
He sent his fist into the prince’s face so that space seemed to be torn away.
The prince tried to parry with his hand, but only the shockwave from the thrust of Aldric’s fist caused his hand to be pushed back.
"You!" The prince was even more dumbfounded by his physical strength.
BANG!
His fist violently struck his cheek, which instantly turned blue and slightly swollen.
His body was then thrown like a bullet fired from a gun, so fast.
In an instant, he slammed into the cube wall until it shook.
"Coug!"
He coughed up blood again from the impact.
His gravitational force had naturally disappeared since he was thrown.
Of course, seeing him only slightly coughing up blood, Aldric could not help but be amazed.
His fist sent a Senior Magician flying. People like the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse for example, were instantly helpless after receiving his punch.
However, this prince did not suffer too severe injuries. He was even able to stand up.
"You’re actually stronger than me," he said in a tone that showed surprise.
"What if I’m stronger than you?" asked Aldric in response, feeling strange about his words.
Had he always considered himself the strongest?
Aldric didn’t wait for him to answer because he probably wouldn’t.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He lunged towards him again, this time along with his two clones.
His first clone had just come from his hiding place, instantly joining the fight.
Each of the clones also activated their body’s power so that their veins glowed.
Their appearances looked different, yet each had glowing veins.
The prince could not have been more astonished as he looked at Aldric’s first clone.
He was now obviously as surprised as he was when he learned that Ramsey was a clone.
At this moment, even the Slith Cat lunged towards the prince.
As for the Polar Ice Bear, it created a large icicle above the prince. This was to limit his jump.
"Bastard!"
The prince cursed at being surrounded like that by one person with three bodies.
He slashed his sword through the air, producing an enormous slash.
It was three more powerful than the slash that cut through the three iron gates.
However, an enormous icicle appeared suddenly, blocking the slash.
The ice was probably as large as those ten gates combined.
Even so, it was also cut, showing how powerful the slash was.
Only, the power of the slash had weakened since cutting through the ice.
It also slowed down so that Aldric’s three bodies easily avoided it.
In an instant after that, they arrived in front of him.
The two Aldric clones hurriedly grabbed each other’s hands while the Aldric standing in front of him hit his stomach so hard that his heart seemed to be dislodged.
He wasn’t thrown off because his body was being held, something that only added to his pain.
It instantly rendered him helpless.
"You cheated, if you hadn’t used those three bodies and two monsters, how could I have lost," said the prince as he was helpless, filled with resentment.
"You will still lose. It’ll just take more time. After all, so far I’ve only used my physical strength," Aldric replied.
As he said that, he pulled the necklace around the prince’s neck.
He was not wearing a ring, his Storage Artifact was the necklace.
Peering into the necklace, all three of Aldric’s bodies reacted simultaneously, astonished by the amount of treasure inside.
There were ten thousand Level 10 Monster Cores. Even Aldric felt that this amount was too ridiculous.
If sold, how much money could he make.
However, then he felt something was wrong.
All of those Monster Cores were actually inside something similar to a cup with a large size.
Inside, not only were there Monster Cores, but there were also various other things, from strange plants, to various roots, to stones of various colors with various auras.
He even saw bones that had been crushed but were still full of majestic aura.
In addition, he also saw a small pill with a golden color, filled with the aura of life.
The aroma was similar to Honey of Life so he suspected it was a large amount of Honey of Life that had been solidified.
’Are they all ingredients for something?’ Aldric wondered, suspicious as it was.
"Mm..." His eyes were then drawn to a golden paper not far from the large cup.
It was even shining, emitting a mysterious aura that seemed to come from ancient times.
He took it out of the Storage Artifact, making it appear in his hand.
His eyes quickly read the writings on the golden paper.
[Core Genesis of the Soul World]
(Ingredient list: Ten thousand Level 10 Monster Cores, bones from ancient Dragons, roots from the Tree of Life, 333 liters of Honey of Life, Moonstone, Sunstone, Earthstone, flesh from Qilin...)
Aldric read one by one but he couldn’t read them all.
They were too many and the letters were too small.
In the end, he read the last ingredient, (The Soul of the Absolute Beginning Soul Dragon!)
"What kind of Genesis Core is this?" Aldric spontaneously asked the prince.
It seemed that this was the method to create that Genesis Core.
Only, from the name and ingredients, this seemed to be an overly powerful Genesis Core.
He wasn’t sure what the Genesis Core was capable of. There was no explanation on the golden paper, which was why he asked the prince.
