nAt this time, five crystal-level and dozens of gold-level rune warriors had already arrived in front of them, each of them revealing a fierce expression as they approached.

n

n

nThe combination of the various types of rune power made people involuntarily feel a rather powerful aura.

n

n

n

n

nKokonoro took a step forward and blocked in front of Joelson and Connie. He said, “Later, I’ll transform and entangle those crystal-level rune warriors. You’ll be responsible for taking care of the rest.”

n

n

nBefore Kokonoro could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened. His face was filled with disbelief.

n

n

nHe only saw Joelson casually glance at him, before he casually waved his hand in the direction of the dozens of rune warriors.

n

n

nIt was as if he was chasing away a group of flies.

n

n

n

n

nHis fair palm drew a platinum arc in the air.

n

n

nThe arc was quickly magnified, and the light almost covered the sun in the sky.

n

n

nWhoosh!

n

n

nWhen the platinum light flashed past, Kokonoro felt his heart tremble violently.

n

n

n

n

nA never-before-felt fear spread from his tail and spread throughout his entire body. His entire body felt a chill.

n

n

nHe was only standing beside Joelson and he was on the side of the explosion of power. The platinum power was not coming for him.

n

n

nHe felt like he was going to die in the next moment.

n

n

nIt was too scary!

n

n

nKokonoro turned his head and looked at him in horror.

n

n

nUnder that face, which had not changed much compared to five years ago, there was a terrifying power.

n

n

n

n

nKokonoro finally knew how casual it was when he saw him.

n

n

nIf Joelson had wanted to, he would have crushed it as easily as crushing an ant.

n

n

nThe moment the platinum power erupted, the battle between Lightning and Archduke Isaac also stopped.

n

n

nIsaac looked over in horror and saw a scene that almost scared him to death.

n

n

nHe only saw a black crack in the sky.

n

n

nThe dozens of rune powerhouses that had originally charged at Joelson were still in the air, maintaining their forward posture.

n

n

nAnd then.

n

n

nBlack cracks rapidly extended in the sky.

n

n

n

n

nThe void was as fragile as a piece of white paper. Now, it was violently torn apart, revealing the pitch-black original appearance underneath.

n

n

nThe bodies of the dozens of runic experts quietly separated from the middle, their faces still carrying a savage gaze.

n

n

nImmediately after, their bodies were mercilessly devoured by the shattered void, completely disappearing.

n

n

nUntil now, these people had not realized their own death.

n

n

nArchduke Isaac’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

n

n

nHe suddenly realized an extremely terrifying reality.

n

n

nThese people were not puppets controlled by the runic beast in front of him but the other way around.

n

n

nThey were the ones controlling this runic beast!

n

n

nArchduke Isaac opened his mouth and let out a sharp cry. At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of an archduke from before. He turned into a stream of light and fled.

n

n

nJoelson casually stretched out his right hand and stretched it forward.

n

n

nIsaac’s body suddenly stopped in midair, unable to move at all.

n

n

nThen, he flew back automatically and was strangled by Joelson like a rabbit struggling on the ground with a lion’s paw.

n

n

nCountless people in Western City saw this scene. Everyone’s mouths were wide open as they stared blankly at the sky.

n

n

n

n

nThey rubbed their eyes repeatedly in disbelief. They still couldn’t believe it.

n

n

nArchduke Isaac was actually being held in the palm of someone’s hand without any ability to resist?

n

n

nThis scene was too shocking and terrifying.

n

n

nIt was even more unreal than a dream.

n

n

nJoelson calmly looked at Isaac in his hand and said calmly, “I’ll ask. You will answer.”

n

n

nIsaac nodded desperately, afraid that he would be crushed to death by Joelson if he was a second late.

n

n

n“How many people in the land of runes are stronger than you?”

n

n

nIsaac quickly answered, “Among the four dukes of the land of runes, Archduke Noel from the east is the strongest. However, he is not a human. He is a rune stone that has self-awareness or an attribute. There are two other archdukes whose strength is about the same as mine.”

n

n

n“Noel? Fire-attribute rune stone?”

n

n

nJoelson unconsciously chanted.

n

n

nIsaac immediately added, “Yes. But, although he is strong, he is only slightly stronger than the three of us archdukes. He is far inferior to you, Sir. Otherwise, he would have unified the land of runes long ago.”

n

n

nIsaac said obsequiously, “I am willing to offer my loyalty to you, Sir, and help you become the only king of the land of runes.”

n

n

n“The king of the land of runes.”

n

n

nIsaac saw that Joelson’s face seemed to be moved. Before he could relax and rejoice, he found that the strength on his neck had suddenly increased.

n

n

n“No.”

n

n

nJoelson casually strangled Isaac to death and squeezed out a rune stone that shone with the luster of a diamond.

n

n

nGlancing at the Western City below, he raised his head to look at the phoenix and said calmly and confidently, “I want to be the god of the land of runes.”

n

n

n“The only god.”

n

n

nThe entire place fell into silence as everyone stared blankly at Joelson.

n

n

nKokonoro’s face was filled with shock. Connie knelt down in front of Joelson fervently and devoutly and kissed his feet.

n

n

nThere was only Lightning as it circled around and roared in excitement.

n

n

n…

n

n

n“No, how can you be so strong?”

n

n

nA scream of despair and terror accompanied it.

n

n

nThe archduke of the southern side of the notification rune land was imprisoned in the domain by Joelson. He was squeezed into a bloody mist.

n

n

nThe learned species revealed a beautiful crystal that was emitting a strange glow and was almost transparent.

n

n

nJoelson waved his hand and kept it in his palm.

n

n

n“It’s actually a rare air-type rune stone.”

n

n

nA hint of surprise appeared in Joelson’s eyes.

n

n

nThe rune experts who had witnessed Joelson killing the archduke with a few moves retreated one after another, their faces full of fear.

n

n

n“Now, only Noel from the east is left.”

n

n

nJoelson raised his head and looked to the east. Seven or eight giant dragons were circling and roaring behind him.

n

n

nThe wide dragon wings almost covered the entire sky. The city seemed dim. Everyone was shrouded in panic and fear.

n

n

nAnother black figure flew over from the east, casting an even thicker layer of haze over everyone’s hearts.

n

n

n“That Noel has escaped.”

n

n

nKokonoro’s deep voice sounded.

n

n

nIt was under the orders of Joelson to head to the territory of Archduke Noel to investigate the situation. In the end, the other party was scared out of their wits by Joelson and left the territory to escape.

n

n

nJoelson frowned slightly and said coldly, “This guy is quite cunning.”

n

n

nIn the past three months, Joelson had gone to the runic land, killing three grand dukes in front of everyone and taking away their runestones.

n

n

nThe fall of the three supreme experts shook the entire runic land.

n

n

nThe runic land’s long-standing structure had been broken, and an unprecedented upheaval was taking place.

n

n

nFear, unease, and despair. These emotions quickly spread like a plague in the hearts of the people in the runic land.

n

n

nCountless people thought that the end was coming.

n

n

nBut what happened next exceeded everyone’s expectations.

n
