Chapter 355
"Frank, no!" Luna pleaded urgently. "Your Echo Core is empty! The only way to power a Phase-Shift is to burn your own neural pathways! If you turn your whole body into light, you will permanently delete your memories! You will erase your own mind!""Give it to me," Frank ordered. "You cannot fight him like this!" Luna cried. "He is a Level-4 Admin! He has infinite energy! If you use the Phase-Shift, you have to stay in it! If you drop the shift to hit him, he will crush your physical body! The energy drain will kill you in less than a minute!"Frank slowly pushed himself up onto his good left knee. He stared directly into King Alaric's glowing golden eyes. The red text flashed violently across Frank’s vision. [ WARNING! NEURAL DECAY CRITICAL! ] Luna’s robotic system voice blared loudly, trying to override his command. [ FRANK, YOU ARE ERASING YOURSELF! ]Frank threw his head back. He opened his mouth. He let out a sound that did not belong in the human world. It was a raw, tearing,
Chapter 354
The massive, fleshy throne room was completely silent. The heavy, rhythmic heartbeat of the ancient machine stopped mattering. The hot, sour wind blowing from the acid sea stopped mattering. The pain in Frank Williams’s shattered ribs, his broken right leg, and his burnt left stump completely disappeared. Frank lay on the squishy, dark red floor. His human right hand was pressed flat against the wet meat of the cavern. He stared across the room. He looked at the dark black stone wall near the open vault doors. He looked at the tiny, broken body lying perfectly still at the bottom of the wall. Princess Elara was not moving. Her head rested awkwardly against the cold stone. Her pale, beautiful eyes were closed. Her arms and legs were completely limp. A terrible, dark red stain of blood painted the wall behind her head. She had charged a giant, eight-foot-tall monster to protect him. She had fought with a tiny, chipped dagger. And her own father had swatted her out of the air like
Chapter 353
“No. No. No.” Frank’s mind chanted. The sound was absolutely, perfectly sickening. It was not a dull thud. It was a sharp, terrible, wet cracking noise that echoed endlessly through the silent, massive temple. Elara slammed back-first into the solid black stone wall. Her head whipped backward. Her skull struck the hard, unforgiving rock with brutal, devastating force. The impact stopped her flight instantly. For a fraction of a second, she hung pinned against the cold black stone. A spray of bright red blood splashed against the wall behind her head, painting a terrible, dark stain on the ancient rock. Then, gravity took over. Elara dropped. She slid down the smooth black wall. Her body hit the dark stone floor at the base of the wall with a soft, quiet, terrible thud. She crumpled into a tiny, motionless pile of torn clothes, dirt, and blood. Her head rested awkwardly against the cold stone. Her arms and legs lay completely still at unnatural angles. Her pale eyes were closed.
Chapter 352
"Princess..." old Silas wept. The old man buried his face in the dirt. He could not bear to look at her broken body."Elara!" Kael roared, struggling wildly against the invisible weight. The big man gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, but he could not lift his chest off the floor. "You monster! You coward! Fight me!"King Alaric ignored the yelling man. He kept his glowing golden eyes locked on his daughter."You see, Elara," Alaric’s distorted, grinding voice echoed in the quiet room. "This is the reality of the universe. The strong survive. The weak are broken."Alaric pointed his giant golden sword down at her bleeding face."You let your emotions control you," Alaric mocked her softly. "You let your love for a dead mother and a broken street rat cloud your judgment. You thought your anger would make you strong. But anger makes you stupid. Anger makes you blind."Elara lay on the floor. Her pale eyes were
Chapter 351
King Alaric watched her fly through the air toward him. The False King did not look surprised this time. He did not look angry. He just looked incredibly bored. The game was over. He had let her play for a minute, but now, he was tired of the annoying insect. Alaric did not try to block her with his giant golden sword. He did not step backward. He used his terrifying, unnatural, mechanical speed. Because Alaric had assimilated Frank’s combat data, he possessed the exact same enhanced biological speed that the System provided. He was an eight-foot giant, but he could move faster than a blinking eye. Alaric simply stepped inside her guard. Before Elara’s daggers could even come close to his chest, Alaric moved his massive, empty left hand. He swung his heavy, black steel gauntlet in a brutal, casual backhand. He did not swing it like a warrior making a tactical strike. He swung it like a man swatting a tiny, annoying fly out of the air. The impact was absolutely, horrifyingly ca
Chapter 350
Alaric swung his giant, empty left hand, trying to swat her out of the sky. Elara twisted her body perfectly. She ducked her head, letting the massive, gauntleted hand pass just an inch above her hair. As she fell back toward the ground, she slashed her right dagger across his dark steel knee joint. The sharp royal steel scraped hard against the black metal. Bright orange sparks exploded into the hot air. The blade did not cut the thick steel, but it slipped into the tiny gap behind the knee. The sharp tip of her dagger sliced into the thick, pulsing golden vines that acted as the monster's muscles. A sudden spray of hot, bright golden blood erupted from the cut. The glowing liquid splashed onto the squishy red floor. Alaric let out a low, surprised grunt. He had not expected her to be so fast. He had not expected her to actually land a hit. Elara hit the ground and immediately rolled forward. She tumbled between his massive, heavy legs. She popped up directly behind him. "For
