Chapter 2100 - 1661: Extorted and Politely Ejected

Chapter 2100: Chapter 1661: Extorted and Politely Ejected

Thinking of this, Kelanis’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly mobilized all the Star Flames to block and intercept, trying to expel the Monarch from his body, while his thoughts continuously struck the opponent’s soul.

However, the Monarch’s soul was as firm as a rock, receiving countless impacts without any change. Kelanis’s mental assaults were like mud bulls entering the sea, quickly dissolving and disappearing.

As for the Star Flames that surged continuously, they could not hinder the already virtualized Monarch from diving deeper. Occasionally, when faced with a head-on surge, he only needed to leave virtualization and become like a solid stone in the river, splitting the fierce torrents and standing firm.

If the surges came from behind, he would use the force of the momentum to accelerate his dive, like a fish swimming flexibly through the currents.

Unable to fight or catch and unable to drive him away, Kelanis deeply regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn’t have accepted this aid. Even if he had to accept it, he shouldn’t have let the other side teleport onto himself.

He should have thrown the Gate of No Boundary far away, so even if he teleported over, he wouldn’t get close. Now, having penetrated his body, there was nothing he could do.

"Alright, you’ve passed the test; come out." Kelanis stopped all attacks, letting the Star Flames in his body calm down, and the mental impact ceased. Then he said slowly.

The Monarch stopped at a point two-fifths into the God Star, glanced at Kelanis, and said, "The test is done? Very well, but I have exhausted too much power to deal with your test, and now I can’t get up. How about giving me some Incremental Body to help me recover my strength?"

"You..." Kelanis was infuriated, wasn’t this extortion?

The Monarch said indifferently, "No, I’m struggling a bit. Without Incremental Body, I can’t float up."

With that, he lay back and slowly began to sink towards the center of the God Star.

Admittedly, at this rate of sinking, he might not reach the center of the God Star for tens of thousands of years, but it conveyed a message: he wouldn’t leave without compensation in the form of Incremental Body.

Kelanis hesitated for a while and finally compromised helplessly. A large amount of Incremental Body gathered from all directions to the Monarch’s position, supporting his body to float towards the surface of the God Star.

The Monarch was cunning. If it was ordinary Star Flame, he would stay still, but only when Incremental Body gathered to lift him would his figure rise.

This forced Kelanis to use excess Incremental Body to push the guy out of his body.

After a lot of effort, Kelanis consumed enormous Incremental Body to throw the Monarch out, then finally let out a sigh of relief: "Thanks for the help, Master of Furnace. The Ghost Hunting Dogs are around here; I hope you find their trail soon."

The Monarch laughed heartily: "I’ll let you go this time. You’re welcome to try again next time, but it won’t be settled with just this much Incremental Body."

With that, the Monarch virtualized and flew away.

Negris asked in confusion, "Did he just leave? This isn’t like the Old Immortal’s character. Why didn’t he take the chance to take down Kelanis?"

Ursman said, "Perhaps he couldn’t. His Majesty’s energy level is too low. Even if he infiltrated the God Star’s interior, he couldn’t do much."

Anthony nodded: "Indeed, even if His Majesty infiltrated the God Star’s interior, he couldn’t do much. He couldn’t damage the God Star’s core or contaminate the opponent’s Star Flame. Staying there is meaningless; he might as well extort a bit of Incremental Body and then make a run for it."

Negris thought for a moment, that seemed to be the case. Even though he infiltrated Kelanis, the Monarch didn’t have as many means as Ange. Ange could use Shamara and Luna to contaminate the God Star or use Pure Melted Fire to trouble the opponent. But what could the Monarch do?

The opponent couldn’t do anything to him, nor could he do anything to Kelanis. Being able to extort some Incremental Body was already a significant gain.

Pausing, Negris asked again with curiosity, "What method did the Old Immortal use to virtualize the Star Body?"

Anthony said, "Just ask His Majesty; after all, he’s actively searching for us."

So Anthony and the others also began to search for the Monarch’s trail. Given the mutual desire to find each other, it didn’t take long for Anthony to encounter the Undead King, arriving via Star Shifting.

Negris quickly projected over, saying, "Quickly, quickly, go up and identify yourself, so the Old Immortal doesn’t attack you."

"No, let me test His Majesty’s strength first and see what improvements he has." Anthony said quietly.

Anthony was so curious about the power of the Incremental Body that Ange could reincarnate them into any form, whether a Black Crystal Skeleton or a Phantom Stacked Piece, but could not turn them into a Star Body, as a Star Body is essentially a Black Crystal Skeleton plus Incremental Body, which they lacked.

Now, with such a good chance to spar with the Monarch, he could thoroughly understand His Majesty’s strength.

So Anthony rushed up, and after a couple of hits, he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it’s me, it’s me, don’t!"

The Monarch halted the Star Death Scythe he was wielding, looking somewhat astonished at the Ghost Hunting Dog before him and asked in confusion, "Anthony?"

Anthony, with lingering fear, looked at the large scythe in the Monarch’s hand and said awkwardly, "Yes, it’s me, Your Majesty. I’m Anthony."

Kvada, that was terrifying; you can’t swing a Death Scythe quickly. The larger the Death Scythe, the slower it swings due to material limitations.

But what the Monarch congealed was an extremely large Death Scythe, several hundred kilometers long, and it was virtualized. A swing could cleave distances of thousands of kilometers, and if Anthony had called out a bit slower, his soul would have been hooked away.

Apparently, the virtualization of the Star Skeleton showed this peculiar effect when used on a Death Scythe. Better stop playing, quickly identify oneself, at this rate, someone could really die.

"Is that really you? How are you here? And how did you turn into a Ghost Hunting Dog?"

The Monarch asked in shock, then thought of something and exclaimed, "Could it be that the Ghost Hunting Dogs are you guys, and this whole Ghost Hunting Dog gathering incident was because you all gathered together?"

Anthony saluted, exclaiming loudly, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Monarch laughed heartily and asked, "Where are Ange and Nage?"

"The Lord is deep within the Sixth Divine Star, and Lord Nage is with me," Anthony replied.

Just after the introduction, Negris couldn’t wait to shout: "Here, here, I’m here, Old Immortal, how did you end up at the Furnace Branch? How did you virtualize the Star Body? How did you become one of Helios’s men and get sent out as reinforcements?"

The Monarch said: "Furnace Branch? Helios’s branch is called Furnace Branch? I didn’t become his man, I just lay on him, saying he bumped into me and wouldn’t get up without Incremental Body."

"So he gave me Incremental Body and convinced me that a large number of Ghost Hunting Dogs had gathered on the Lania Branch Road, which was definitely unusual. I thought I’d come over and see if I could encounter an Exotic Ghost, so I came."

"He couldn’t wait to get rid of me, and then he claimed I was his subordinate? Damn it, I’ll cut him down next time," the Monarch said angrily.

Negris and Anthony exchanged glances and understood; it turned out to be a case of fake pity and being courteously escorted out.
