Chapter 173 Come At Me
Come At Me
Christopher continued to sprint for a while.
Well, a.while according to his perception. After all, the faster one moved, the slower the passage of time would be to them. So it felt like it took a while, but less than a second had passed before he reached his first obstacle.
Ahead of him, there was what looked like a wide and expansive barrier that looked to be made of ice.
Christopher made a few calculations in his mind and immediately judged that the spearhead he'd created to eliminate everything in front of him would require more annihilation energy to pierce through the barrier. So he didn't bother.
Instead, he temporarily returned Scarlet to its tattoo form, and he clenched his fist and pulled it back. Combining his strength and the impossible momentum he currently carried with how quickly he was moving, Christopher threw a punch the moment he reached the barrier.
Instead of the terrible force erupting in all directions, all of it seemed to concentrate itself on the barrier. The instant his fist connected, a large portion of the barrier was covered in cracks before shattering inward, and Christopher passed through the opening.
The moment he did, he stopped being assaulted by the vile blizzard and skidded to a stop inside the new area.
When Christopher came to a stop, he turned back just in time to see the barrier preparing itself at an alarming speed, and in a few seconds, it had completely closed up.
'Interesting.' He mused before facing forward.
Now that the blizzard was gone, Christopher found himself in a large white plain, something that seemed to be a recurring theme within the hidden realm.
However, just by looking at it, Christopher knew that it wasn't so simple.
No winds were blowing faster than the speed of sound, no continuous roars of powerful beasts fighting for territory. Hell, he couldn't detect any lifeform using his sixth sense.
'Aisha, can you hear me?' Christopher asked. However, while he felt something, he couldn't hear her. Their connection was still there, but it seemed as though communication wasn't possible. Or, at the very least, he simply couldn't hear her, considering that he noticed a message trying to come through as soon as he asked his question.
With a sigh, he decided to put it out of his mind and started to walk forward. He didn't dash forward like before because he instinctively knew that such a thing wasn't a good idea. Moreover, he was curious.
He walked for a few minutes before slowing to a stop. He looked down and hummed thoughtfully. At first glance, there was no obvious difference in every white snow. But with his senses, Christopher was able to notice the invisible line in the snow. It didn't take a genius to figure out something would happen the moment he crossed the line. The question was, what would happen if he did?
Hrs shrugged, and without forcing himself to think too much about it, he crossed the line.
The members of the Genesis Corps manned the weaponry on the walls and awaited a confrontation, while Kim appeared a few miles away from the wall with her arms folded.
From time to time, she'd tap the toe tip of her shoe, which suspiciously looked like a cat's paw against the ground. She looked impatient.
Eventually, the ships landed, and a cold breeze blew past.
Then, several figures exited the ships and approached Kim. Kik observed them and was a little taken aback by their appearance.
They looked kinda humanoid. Their upper bodies at least. They had no facial features, but their body structure clearly defined who was and who wasn't a female.
As for their lower bodies, they looked like miniature tornadoes that made the beings float. They were known as Djinn.
The Djinn in the lead, which had a clear Apex-rank Aura, floated forward and stopped directly in front of Kim, who had to look up at it as it was 3 meters tall.
"... You people are of the Genesis Corps?" The Djinn asked, his voice deep and gruff.
"Mhm," Kim replied simply, and a bit too cheerful for their liking. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire
The Djinn looked past her and towards the fortress behind her before asking.
"Who is the head of this base?" The Djinn asked, and Kim smiled.
"You're looking at her." The Djinn paused and looked back at Kim. Despite having no facial features, Kim felt like he narrowed his eyes at her.
"You? Someone who is only at the Grey rank?" His tone was skeptical, and Kim shrugged.
"Here's what will happen, I will either say something along the lines of 'So what?' Or 'Do you have a problem with that?' And you will express how you came here expecting someone stronger with how notorious we have been and express your disappointment. Then, there will be something that will force me to display my might, which will either make you fear me or respect me. A cliché setting if you ask me, and I don't have the patience to get through all that." Kim's smile turned fierce as her sharp canines became more pronounced, and her tail whipped dangerously.
"If you have any doubts, then come at me. Whether by yourself or all of you at once, I'll take all of you on. I'm tired of not having anything significant to do." All the Djinn were taken aback by Kim's straightforwardness, and some of them were wary when they recognized that she wasn't bluffing. It was common knowledge that it was almost impossible for someone who hadn't transcended to defeat someone who had, yet Kim wasn't deterred in the slightest and even urged them to come at her. Either she had the means, or she was simply insane.
The Djinn in the lead said nothing for a few seconds before ultimately nodding.
"Fine then."
