Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 302 50 is still better than 0

"You all remember what you should do next." As Elise started to bemoan her current faith, she suddenly heard a voice in her mind that made her stop thinking negatively.

Elise’s body started up, as she knew that someone was talking mentally to her right now.

She looked in front of her, focusing her attention on the bald-faced man in front of the group.

With the way that this man dressed himself, and the ripples of his Spirit Domain emanating out of him, there is no doubt that this bald man is the leader.

Elise knew that this bald man was the one who just sent the mental message to her, making her remember her task.

"Right. At the meeting earlier, we decided to pressure the trespassers once we arrive in front of their house." Elise thought to herself as she took a deep breath. "We decided use our soul power and domains to create a horrifying pressure. That will make these trespassers feel suppressed by us. Once that happens, we will have the leverage on taking the hostages back!"

As Elise thought of this, her worried expression started to disappear, as if she suddenly felt relieved right now.

By herself, Elise knew that her soul power was not enough to scare a group. After all, she was just one Dao Soul Practitioner.

But Elise was not alone.

Her soul power, combined with the soul power of 15 Dao Soul Practitioners and 5 Spirit Domain Ascetics, is powerful enough to create a pressure from that can affect anyone that is weaker than an Immortal!

These trespassers that they are about to face? They are surely not Immortals! After all, there is no Immortal that will choose to live in an ugly shack like this!

Since that was the case, pressuring them would just be easy!

"Boom!" Elise wasted no time, releasing her own soul power, combining it with the soul power of her companions.

In front of her, the 5 Sprit Domain Ascetics released their own pressure too, although its quality was higher compared to the ones that the Dao Soul Practitioners had.

All these pressures combined with each other, creating a massive hand which immediately descended on the shack!

"Boom!" Upon seeing the effect of the pressure on the shack alone, Elise hopes rose up as she thought that the trespassers inside could be heavily affected now

"Hehehe, if this goes smoothly, I won’t even have to fight this day!" Elise thought to herself as she started to sigh in relief.

The worried expression on her face disappeared as it was replaced by contentment.

"Ah, I should have joined the Covenant earlier. If I did that, I could have gotten many benefits now..."

At this point, Elise and the others were already celebrating, as they thought that their job here is practically done.

Unfortunately for them, their job was actually just starting.

"Boom!" Out of nowhere, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from inside the shack, which proceeded to scatter out.

This pressure, which was accompanied by a golden glow, let out a flowing sound as it barreled towards Elise and her allies!

All of them did their best to dodge, but I was too late for them to move now.

They could only watch as their bodies were covered by the pressure and the golden glow.

"Ugh!" As this pressure hit them, Elise could not help but grunt angrily.

Her mind, which was focused on surviving earlier, was now filled with the sudden urge to kneel, as if there was something that was forcing her to kneel now.

"Thud." No matter how much Elise tried to stop herself, she was unable to do anything as her knees suddenly touched the ground.

Elise’s allies were experiencing the same thing, as all of them were kneeling down too.

Even the 5 Spirit Domain Ascetics were not spared, as 4 of them were now kneeling with unwilling expressions on their faces.

It was only their leader that was not kneeling, although he was still affected by the pressure too.

His knees were bent halfway through, and it seemed like it was only the leader’s sheer willpower that was stopping him to kneel.

As Elise and the others were struggling to understand what was happening to then, the door of the shack opened with a bang.

The door, which seemed to have been forcefully kicked, flew forwards as 3 figures came out of the shack.

"Oh my, oh my. I only got 50% of that Emperor’s power, and yet it was already enough to affect you like this I seem to have overestimated you all."

The one who said these words was the young male who kicked the door open.

This male had a sly and carefree disposition, which coupled with his good looks, made him look dangerous.

Right now, this young male had a cocky smile on his face, which just grated Elise’s temper.

But no matter how much Elise wanted to get angry now, she realized that she could not direct her anger at this young male, as the golden pressure was now forcing her to feel reverence towards this young male!

Naturally, this made Elise feel disgusted, although she realized that she had no way to stop herself from feeling reverent towards the young man.

"What the f**k is this sorcery?" Elise thought to herself as she could only glare at the young man with her eyes. "What did this man do to us?"

There was no doubt to Elise right now that this golden pressure came from this young man! Just the way that this young man acted right now was enough to prove that!

"My soul and spirit were both nourished by my Dao Soul, so I should have been able to resist the effects of this golden pressure." Elise thought to herself as she gritted her teeth. "But that did not happen here! Instead, I am forced to kneel right now in front of a young man who just looks so smug! Argh! I take back my optimism earlier! I should have never gone here!"

*****************

Alex was definitely satisfied after he saw the effects of his aura.

16 people at Fourth Stage and 5 people at Fifth Stage were all affected by his aura, which for Alex, is definitely a good news!

"Even when I only managed to get 50% of Emperor LItch’s power, I was still able to do something like this. Impressive." Alex thought to himself as he let out an excited smile. "Hahaha, I really gained a lot from that old codger!"

When Alex was resting earlier, he did not only spend his time on recovering his injuries. He was also busy on organizing the memories and powers that he devoured from the soul of Emperor Litch.

With the wealth of experiences that Emperor Litch had, Alex found it hard to sort everything that he obtained from the Emperor.

Even 50% of his memories and power was still difficult for Alex to deal with.

It was only when Sloth placed Alex to sleep that Alex succeeded on organizing them all.

"Hehehe..." Alex started to laugh as he stared at the 20 people in front of him. All of them were rendered frozen because of Alex’s aura, making them all sitting ducks in front of Alex.

If Alex could have wanted it, he could have attacked these people already, but Alex was not here to do those things.

"Listen. I know that all of you were sent here to save your comrades." Alex said as he looked at his new victims calmly. "I can praise your bravery for coming here, even if you do not know how powerful I was earlier."

"..." This comment by Alex earned him more glares from the frozen people, making him laugh awkwardly.

"You all made the right approach on this place, which shows your knowledge in tactics and subterfuge." Alex said as he gave his captives a thumbs up. "If I were a normal person, I could have been affected that by pressure. But I am no normal person, so all your efforts for today are sadly, for nothing."

"!!!"

"Oh don’t worry. I won’t kill you all. Can’t you see that I liked chatting with you already?" Alex said in a singsong tone as he tilted his head. "It would be not good if I kill you all now. Your boss might suddenly come and fight it out with me, which is something that I do not want to happen now."

"..."

"Since I can’t kill you, and since I cannot stomach keeping you here, I have decided to free you all." Alex said, much to the relief and anger of some of the captured people.

"Now, now, now, you must wonder why I suddenly had the urge to free you all." Alex said, as he was starting to enjoy the monologue that he was saying. "Well, I actually have a reason for it."

"..." The glare of his victims softened, as it was now replaced with curiosity. Their eyes now were staring at him with both wariness and query, as they waited for Alex to continue talking.

"I... just want you guys to do something for me." Alex confidently said as he crossed his arms. "If you agree to do it for me, I will free you all, including our hostages!"

"!!!"

"Don’t worry, what I want you all to do is easy." Alex said as he placed his hands on his hips. "It’s just pretty simple. You just have to listen to my instructions..."
