Chapter 459: Psionic Crystals

This really isnt off to a great start.

Sage was already cornered at the end of a cave deep into the ground. The tunnel had a few branching paths, but they all led to dead ends. If the enemy had already sealed the exit for the mine tunnel, there wasnt anywhere he could go to escape. At least not without a lot of digging. Since they hadnt already rushed into the chamber he was in, they either didnt want to damage the Psionic Crystals, their powers would be weakened in the chamber, or maybe a little bit of both.

Somehow the enemy had destroyed Sages Twin Soul without him even realizing they were there, but that didnt mean they knew all his means. He immediately started linking to a Warp Worm while ordering the Blacksilver Pawns to pick up the pace. Sage wasnt sure how much time he had before the enemy barged in to battle with him, but he was going to make use of every second. He thought about using a formation, but he wasnt sure how much surveillance the enemy had on him at the moment. He chose not to give away any more of his tricks before any combat actually began. For all he knew they had some way to spy on him right now and if he started laying out defenses theyd see them and be ready for them. He had a rough idea how powerful the people of this world were, but it was still only a rough idea. It was still difficult for him to gauge an individuals power level, and they had all sorts of unusual methods hed never seen before.

You arent coming out? Do you want to see what will happen if you force us to come in? Just hurry out here so we can reset the trap, we cant just waste it on one person, the voice paused. Then there was a bit of stifled laughter, like the man was laughing at his own joke, I just had a great idea! Come out here and lick my boots clean and Ill guarantee you a quick and painless death. If you do a good enough job, we might just let you live.

Sage didnt bother glorifying such a blowhard with a response, keeping focused on raising his Warp Worm into fighting shape while the Blacksilver Pawns cleaned the whole place out. Only the Divine Egg gave them trouble. The rest of the place was wiped clean, and then the Blacksilver Pawns worked together to hoist the huge spheroid into the air and forcefully stow it into a Storage Ring.

So many? Isnt this world one of those post-apocalypse settings? How can there be so many people living, let alone surrounding me at this moment?

He quickly started scanning the crowd for the source of the voice as well as what means they were using to spy upon him. On Earth, hed watched more than a few intrigue and spy movies and his favorite lesson from them was to always have an escape plan. Without even considering whether he could defeat the enemies around him, hed already started plotting how to flee. In the past hed suffered from Whitestaffs disciples constantly hounding his trail, and if he wanted to ensure such a thing couldnt happen again, hed need to find how they were watching him. After a quick search, he would have frowned if it wouldnt be a show of weakness.

Instead, he maintained his confident posture. Back straight and eyes scanning the crowd as if they meant nothing to him. He crossed his arms and used the Divine Breath technique to empower his voice to a terrifying volume, I am here! Where is the arrogant fellow that couldnt stop cursing at me? Does he not dare to even show his face?

Sage put on the airs of an expert and chose to use a strong front to try and draw out the enemy leader. This was truly a rare occurrence for him, so it felt somewhat uncomfortable, but Sage tried to look like a crime boss surrounded by his subordinates. So what if the enemy had more of them, his own were far more terrifying! Arrogant people always thought themselves to be the highest power in the world, and the best way to piss them off was to challenge their authority or belittle whatever it was they prided. Normally, Sage would never do something so foolish. If someone was your enemy, why inform them about it? Did he care about his face? Was being shameless a big deal when his life was on the line? Better not to make enemies and just let them talk big. If that wasnt possible, then destroy the other party before they even knew they were being targeted!

Only in this sort of situation where he had no other way out would Sage choose the more difficult path of acting powerful and facing a confrontation head on.

What else could he do?
