YM778.TV Chapter 373 All According To Plan
There was still a lot of fighting happening in the Xian territory because of Han’s Shadow Hunters and Han could hear the sounds of shouting from everywhere, but Han decided that it was for them to leave. Since Paladin got away, he didn’t have any business here now, and he was out of time anyways. His skill will soon time out and his soul will be called back to his body. Han told Gretha to get out the knife and take them home and she reached behind her to get the knife and cut her palm with it.
Han looked towards the Xian territory and he called back all his Shadow Hunters and the large monster [Devil’s plaything]. The amount of damage that they caused is enough to cripple the Xian Race for a few decades at least. I’ll be back before they can get themselves back on their feet and I’ll finish them once and for all. Han nodded to Gretha and they both disappeared
Han opened his eyes back in the inn where he stored his body and he looked to the side to see Gretha standing there sheepishly. She gave him a small wave with a stupidly shy grin on her face and Han sighed tiredly. Taurus’ body was on the ground at the side and Han was glad that he was finally out of that body! Han feels weird whenever he is in someone else’s body and he was glad to be back in his own body! Han ignored Gretha and started to get ready! Han needed to make his way to the higher floor as soon as possible! Han knows that the celestials will no longer act passively now that Han has attacked them first and they will start getting ready for the next time Han goes to the celestial plane! Han needs to get through this temple and open the portal between the temple and the celestial plane as soon as possible so that his army can come through. By the time the Celestials can get all their preparations done, I would have already finished this damn temple and we can launch a quick attack.
Once Han finished thinking, he stood up. He saw how Gretha moved away from him a little and he rolled his eyes in annoyance before stretching. Does she think I will harm her? She is not wrong that I want to hit her! What she did was stupid and she should have known better! But I won’t kill her. She deserves another chance.
“Gretha, if you were anyone else, I would’ve killed you. But I’ll give you another chance. Don’t fuck with my business anymore. What I do with my life doesn’t concern you at all, and you have no right to interfere. If something like this happens again, it will be the end of your life.”
Gretha nodded super fast and Han moved to go and take a bath.
…..
Back in the temple, Gregory was being trained by Esteroth in one of the training rooms of the mansion! Large explosions were being heard from everywhere and the two of them were tearing up the entire training room as they went all out!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gregory used his scythe to try and slash at Esteroth but Esteroth easily redirected it using his sword and he kicked Gregory back to the wall! Gregory grunted as he slammed into the wall but he had to move immediately as Esteroth’s boot slammed into the place where he was just lying! Gregory didn’t allow Esteroth to get his balance back before he punched him back into another wall using a skill.
[Strength of Shadows] has been activated!
This was a skill that coated Gregory’s hand in a black matter and it allowed Gregory to channel 5x more power than normal! Gregory was already a black star, so when he increases his strength like that, it is devastating!
Esteroth flew back but he slammed his feet to the ground and stopped his flight using only his strength! Esteroth touched his lips and he saw that he was bleeding and he grinned! This little cub that used to follow Han everywhere has finally grown some damn teeth! He hit me hard enough for me to bleed!
“Do you think you have time to be lost in your daydreams!”
Gregory shouted this from right in front of Esteroth as he pulled back his scythe and got ready for a massive slash! Esteroth was still grinning and he just put up his sword and received the blow head-on!
Clang!
The two weapons clashed and the training room shook as the force threatened to shatter the entire place to pieces! Gregory was gritting his teeth in exertion as he tried to push Esteroth back but Esteroth was just grinning like a madman that found a new toy! Esteroth has been training Gregory for a month now and this was the first time that Gregory would harm him! Esteroth was getting excited as he looked at Gregory! At this rate, Gregory might soon become strong enough to fight me on equal footing! I know that I will never be as strong as Han and neither will Gregory, but the two of us might become equal soon! How interesting! The right hand of the first king will become as strong as the second king!
Esteroth laughed loudly as he pushed Gregory back! Gregory grunted and took a step back but he didn’t release the pressure and he used more force to try and push Esteroth! Esteroth suddenly ducked to the side and Gregory stumbled forward as the sudden loss of momentum almost made him fall! Esteroth put his hand right on Gregory’s stomach and he was about to activate an explosion skill but Gregory was able to use the shadows to travel back quickly and he dodged the skill just before it could detonate!
Boom!!
Gregory created his own explosion skill and shot it straight for Esteroth. Esteroth called his golden armor to cover his right arm and he crossed his right arm across his face to block the explosion!
Once it died down, Esteroth laughed and stabbed his sword into the ground.
“That is enough for today, Gregory, you did good,”
Gregory was breathing heavily as he was already in a battle stance for the next attack but once Esteroth said this he fell back to the ground with a giant sigh! He was so tired!
“Thank you for the teaching.”
Gregory didn’t have the strength to stand so he just waved his hand as he thanked Esteroth! Esteroth scoffed at the weak display! They were only sparring for twenty hours and he is that tired! Try to get a bit more stamina in your system! If it was Han then he could have gone on for days. Well, Han would have beaten me in a few minutes so I suppose I shouldn’t be complaining.
“Gregory! Gregory, where the hell are you!?”
A voice suddenly shouted from outside the training room and Esteroth sighed as he realized that the voice belonged to Rin! The first wife of King Han was the only person in the temple that Esteroth couldn’t intimidate into submission and he just didn’t like her at all! Once he realized that she was coming into the room, he told Gregory that he was going to see someone and he moved out from the other door of the training room!
Gregory couldn’t help but chuckle! Rin could be annoying when she starts lecturing him so he understands how Esteroth feels! Rin doesn’t even have any power at all and Esteroth could easily defeat her in a fight, but Esteroth is still weary of her because of Han’s power. Esteroth was still annoyed with how Rin tried to undermine his authority that time when he sent Gregory on a solo mission, but Esteroth knew that if he touched Rin then Han would tear his head from his body. so Esteroth could only avoid her as much as possible.
Rin finally got the door open and she saw Gregory sitting on the ground. Rin was holding Arthur and Gregory smiled at the two of them when he saw Arthur wave at him with a grin, but Gregory’s smile died once he saw that Rin was not smiling at all. She looked frantic as she spoke to him.
“Gregory. An SOS call came in from the Shadow Hunter that Han left here. I think Rau is in trouble,”
Rau? Gregory tried to remember who the hell that was and Rin deadpanned when she realized that Gregory didn’t even remember Rau! Rau was the boy that you fought the Kraken with! Rin remembers because Han told her about it when he was with her during her pregnancy. Once Rin said this Gregory slammed his fist into his palm! Now he remembers!!
“Oh, Rau! The one that is in love with his sister and is fucking her! What happened to him?”
Rin sighed tiredly! She didn’t even care what Gregory thinks about Rau. It’s none of her business! She told Gregory that there was an SOS call that came in from the shadow and it says that Rau needs help. They asked for aid from Gregory since what they were facing was too much for any ordinary black star to handle. Rau thinks they are facing a celestial!
Immediately Gregory heard this he sat up in shock! A celestial!? But didn’t Ratte say that all the celestial were restricted from coming to the temple!? There is no way that this is a Celestial! Gregory has to go and help them out if that is the case. Rau can’t handle a celestial even if they have fifty black stars there. A mere black star won’t be enough to deal with a celestial. Gregory immediately told Rin that he would be heading out immediately and he started to make his way towards his room so he can grab his things. Rin told him that she already helped him to pack and he should just leave with the bag she packed for him. Rin was very mother-like now that she was taking care of Arthur and Gregory as her sons and Gregory trusted her to pack everything he needed. This could be very serious and every second would count!
Gregory caught the bag that Rin threw at him and he immediately fell into his shadow and disappeared!
….
Rau and a small group of chosen were huddled behind a large boulder as they hid from a monster. The monsters in this area were not strong enough to defeat Rau or the adventurers, but Rau still told them to hide. Rau knew that if a fight breaks out here then they will make a lot of noise. Rau didn’t want to make too much noise so that they won’t give away their location!
When Rau and Risque led the party of adventurers down to floor sixty, they thought this would be a simple mission. A rouge group of chosen were forming a new guild that was very similar to the Alcatraz guild that Han got rid of before and the adventurers were contracted to get rid of the guild and make that floor safe again. Rau already laid out a lot of plans for how they would handle this situation.
Since Rau was the strongest in the group because of his weapon, he would take the front line and lead a direct attack against the rogues. Risque would lead a counterattack from outside and she would stop anyone that was planning on running away from the fight. They didn’t want anyone to survive so this was the best way to deal with everyone once and for all! But things did not go as planned.
