88 Inside the Monster Kingdom
Hearing her question, Neyol smacked Seo Jun's head and shouted.
"Idiot, didn't you see him fighting and escaping from the Ghost King? If he hadn't used his strongest attack, the collision would have never created such a powerful hurricane."
Seo Jun had tears in her eyes when she looked at Neyol but hearing her words, she understood the situation and nodded her head.
"Ohh! Then, before your promotion, your condition was quite weak. And, you didn't want to drag the battle so you chose to chase them."
"It seems like you aren't that stupid." Yeosho on the side suddenly spoke.
Hearing her words, Seo Jun burned with anger and shouted.
"How dare you call me stupid?"
"Humph! What if I call you stupid? Weren't you stupid to ask such questions?" Yeosho snorted and twisted her waist, walking next to Kim.
'Humph! Even if I don't know the situation, I pretend like I know. At least, I won't look stupid.'
Unfortunately, nobody could hear her thoughts otherwise they would've been speechless. Nobody thought of her as stupid. It's just that Yeosho got a chance and use this to tease her.
Of course, nobody cared about it except for Seo Jun. She immediately tried to retaliate but Kim stopped her and said.
"We need to escape as soon as possible. Enter the Arc first!"
Without saying much, he pulled them into the Arc and transformed. The wings behind him flapped fiercely and lifted him up in the air. He turned his head and released the Observation Technique.
With his Observation Technique, he could see several miles away from him. He immediately found several Martial Lords rushing toward the border. His guess was correct. They would definitely do anything in their power to search for them.
And, if they are caught, it would be devastating. He flapped his wings and flew toward the middle of the Purple Desert. It was already nighttime but he didn't care to be careless.
For Martial Artists, it wouldn't be hard to find them during the nighttime.
But, he miscalculated something. While moving in the desert during the nighttime, he noticed that the number of monsters was much higher than in the daytime.
Because he was flying, most of the monsters could touch him but there were some flying monsters and some large monsters who could rise up to several hundred meters.
Not to mention, during the nighttime, the temperature was extremely low. If he fly higher, he was afraid that his body would freeze. And, if he flies low, more and more monsters would attack him.
This was an extremely problematic situation but he didn't dare to return closer to the Ghost Kingdom. He had to maintain some distance from it and only get close enough when he reaches the borders of the Monster Kingdom.
After all, the Monster Kingdom was attached to the Ghost Kingdom.
[Armament Technique] [Observation Technique] [Spiritual Pressure]
In an instant, Kim released all three powers. His body shone golden as a powerful Armament covered his body. At the same time, he started sensing every single monster around him and using the Observation Technique to dodge them.
But most important was Spiritual Pressure. With his improved Spiritual Pressure, he was easily able to deter most of the monsters in the desert. Since his Spiritual Pressure could also cause physical damage now, he was able to force more monsters to stay inside the desert.
Most of the monsters live under the desert which is also a problem. Because if they suddenly attack from inside, without Observation Technique, he wouldn't be able to dodge or even block them.
Of course, being his upgraded Observation Technique, he could easily feel things far away from him and that includes the underneath the ground.
Kim continued to fly for a long time and eventually, he saw a graveyard. This was strange because, unlike most graveyards, it only had five graves. But, it was more than enough.
Because these were the graves of five Monster Kings. These five Monsters Kings are all the monster kings who died in these thousand years. After their death, they were buried in between the Ghost Kingdom and the Monster Kingdom.
First, Ghost Kingdom wanted to get the soul of these monster kings. Second, the Monster Kingdom strongly opposed them taking these monster kings' bodies but still couldn't prevent it completely.
So, just to preserve their bodies, they were buried at the border.
Otherwise, someone with Martial King Realm would never be buried at the borders.
Kim arrived in front of the graveyard and didn't find anyone. Even so, he was still cautious. He didn't touch the graveyard at all. He quickly rushed toward the Monster Kingdom.
But unlike the Ghost Kingdom, the Monster Kingdom was surrounded by a huge forest. Since Monsters loved to stay inside the forest, they were basically surrounded by the Forest.
And, it was quite good. After all, this way they won't be spotted quickly.
As he entered the border of the Monster Kingdom, he noticed an aura rushing toward him. This made him shudder.
'Damn it! Another Martial King. Although I have the power to face a Martial King, if they call for more Martial Kings or even a Martial Emperor, I will definitely die.'
Thinking so, Kim didn't hesitate to increase his speed and rush inside the forest. In an instant, he crossed several hundred meters.
After a few minutes, a figure appeared on the border. This was a human but in a soul body. He looked at the borders of the Monster Kingdom and frowned.
"I obviously felt the aura of the Heavenly Sacred Staff of Hell. Although it was faint, it was definitely coming from here. But, that person was definitely a human."
"So, why did he enter the Monster Kingdom?"
His eyes couldn't help but feel suspicious. He thought for a moment and muttered.
"That person had six people with him. One of them was Asura and from what we learned, it was Asura Princess. Since Asura Princess is with a human, it seemed like they have some kind of cooperation."
"But, if they truly wanted to hide from us, they should've gone to the Asura Kingdom. Wait, could it be that they wanted to pass through the Monster Kingdom instead of going through borders because of us?"
Thinking about it, his face turned gloomy.
"It seems like they are either planning to escape from the Monster Kingdom or they have some kind of business there. But, as a Ghost King, I can't enter the Monster Kingdom border without permission otherwise it will lead to the war."
"Hmmm! It seems like I need to discuss this with others. Anyway, they can't escape from us."
Thinking of the aura of the Heavenly Sacred Staff of Hell, he wasn't worried about losing them. Unless Kim dies, he can never wash off the aura of the heavenly Sacred Staff of Hell.
After thinking for a while, he finally left. In just half an hour, he reached the Palace.
"Eastern King, did you find any news about them?" A woman-shaped soul spoke. She was also one of the kings. But, people mostly call her Queen.
"Yes, Northern Queen! That's why I called all of you as soon as possible." Eastern King nodded his head and answered.
"Is that so? If I remember correctly, you have directly got the information from the Ghost King, right? So, what's the deal about these people?" Another King spoke. He was a leopard-shaped soul.
"Fortune King, let me finish first." Eastern King frowned as he spoke with displeasure. Because of his close relationship with the Ghost King, he was allowed to check his soul memories.
Because of that, he learned everything about Kim and others. Although this was fact and proven to all, Fortune King's tone pissed him off.
"JieJieJie! You don't need to be so serious, Eastern King. We are just curious." A curious look and a cruel smile appeared on the same face. Another King whose body was a complete skeleton but still as a soul spoke.
"Alright, everyone let Eastern King speak!" Suddenly, another King spoke. He was a tiger-shaped soul.
Hearing his words, Eastern King nodded.
"The first thing that I learned from the Ghost King is that the person who defeated him was a master at Three Powers. His accomplishment on Three Powers surpassed anyone I've ever seen including Martial Emperor."
His words instantly brought a gloomy atmosphere to the hall. Their eyes shrunk quickly as one of them asked.
"Are you sure that's what you saw?"
Eastern King looked at him with displeasure and said "Do you think I will joke about it? Not only he could use all three of them but also merged Spiritual Pressure with Armament Technique."
"In other words, he could leave serious damage on us. And another thing about him is his Soul Treasure. It kept his soul safe from most of the Soul King's attack."
"But, the most important part is that he was only a Martial Master."
As soon as he said this, everyone stood up from their chair and shouted.
"It's impossible!"
