Monarch Of Time

Chapter 79 - 79 A way out

Shun Long hadnʼt expected for the magic beasts to immediately react as soon as he took the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ from the central mountain.

ʼʼ How many magic beasts are there? What about that ʼ4 winged ice birdʼ?ʼʼ

ʼʼMaster, itʼs coming as well. The middle rank 4 magic beast inside that lake, as well as the early rank 4 beast from the mountain next to the lake is also comingʼʼ

Shun Long was stuck in an impossible position. Without little Black, there was no way that he could escape before the rank 4 magic beasts arrived here. Every escape path was blocked as well.

Stuck in this desperate situation, Shun Long tried his hardest to think for a way out when he suddenly remembered the layout of the central mountain.

Looking around him he asked little Black

ʼʼLittle Black, are you certain that the magic beasts below rank 5 canʼt use their soul to sense?ʼʼ

ʼʼMaster I am certain but... we donʼt have any more time to leave! The ʼ4 winged ice birdʼ has almost arrived at the foot of the mountain. Even if we leave now itʼs too late.ʼʼ

Shun Long then said

ʼʼI wonʼt be able to see anything so you have to guide me through this if we want to avoid all the magic beasts hereʼʼ

Little Black didnʼt understand what Shun Long was saying.

His words made no sense, until he saw Shun Long looking around, before he entered in one of the caves that were inside the mountainʼs heart.

ʼʼThis central mountain is full of caves, big and small. If I can navigate my way through them, with little Blackʼs help we can certainly leave.ʼʼ

At the same time as Shun Long entered the cave, the middle rank 4 magic beast, the ʼ4 winged ice bird had already reached the foot of the mountain as it was flying towards the huge entrance in the middle at breakneck speed. To these magic beasts living inside the Demonic Mountain region, nothing mattered as much as the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ.

From the smaller mountain on the left side of the lake, a 3m(10ft) tall spider was madly rushing towards them as well... but that was just the start.

Hundreds of beasts from all over the central region were now also rushing towards the central mountain.

Screechhh

The ʼ4 winged ice birdʼ issued a loud cry as soon as it reached the heart of the mountain. Not only was the ʼsilver winged rocʼ missing, but their most important ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ had disappeared along with it.

As Shun Long had expected, the beasts that had just arrived at the foot of the mountain didnʼt head towards the mountainʼs heart, but instead entered from the many empty caves at the base, madly searching for the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ.

Little Black who was relaying the situation to Shun Long, was also calculating the routes to avoid the magic beasts inside

ʼʼMaster, there are many beasts coming from our left side. Enter the second entrance from our right, and then directly the first entrance from the left.ʼʼ

Although little Black had his soul sense and could still guide Shun Long, there were just too many beasts inside the mountain at this point. Although the central mountain was huge, there was almost one beast in every entrance by now.

ʼʼMaster, we are in trouble! There is a middle rank 3 magic beast coming straight ahead of us and there is no way to avoid it from the other cavesʼʼ

Facing this situation, Shun Longʼs heart had turned cold. Could it be that there was no other choice than for them to fight here?

Little Blackʼs voice was then heard inside Shun Longʼs head

ʼʼMaster, I can leave the ʼStone of Timeʼ and kill it with my ʼDarkness fireʼ but...ʼʼ

Shun Long shook his head as he replied

ʼʼWe will definitely be discovered then... I know. I also know the burden that it would place on you if you fought in your current condition.ʼʼ

Stuck under this situation of extreme pressure, Shun Long tried his best to stay as calm as possible before he said

ʼʼThere is no other choice. We will either pull this off or we are doomed this time.

Little Black, you have to tell me the exact moment when this magic beast enters a 40m distance from us, and then again when it enters within a 20m distance from us.ʼʼ

Little Black wasnʼt sure what Shun Long was trying to do but he agreed to his request regardless as he said

The magic beast was closing the distance between them extremely quickly.

As this beast was approaching closer and closer, Shun Long tightly clenched his fists as he emptied his mind from all other thoughts.

ʼʼ80 meters.. 60... Master! It is 40m away from us!ʼʼ

As soon as little Blackʼs voice sounded in his head, Shun Long punched the air in front of him and a spatial tear was f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y opened.

As soon as he created the space tear, Shun Long heard little Blackʼs voice in his head again saying

ʼʼMaster, itʼs within 20 meters!ʼʼ

Shun Long instantly entered the space tear, while at the same time, the magic beast had just arrived in front of where he was just standing.

His body had appeared 20 meters behind the beast, as he heard it while it was running deeper inside the mountain.

The absolute darkness inside the cave had saved him from being noticed by this magic beast, and approximately an incense stick of timeʼs later, he had finally arrived back at the foot of the mountain.
