Chapter 527: Chapter 252: Demon-Slaying Puppet, Seventh Layer Battle Body_2
[The man who slew a god is just that overbearingly confident!]
[Darren Callum: What even is Clyde?]
When Jack followed Mathilda Ward to the sports stadium, several headlines quickly surged into the trending searches, sparking significant discussions on the internet of other countries as well.
Among them were some ‘experts’ coming out to comment.
However, these had no impact on Jack.
In the sports stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, Mathilda and the dozen or so gorgeous men and women backup dancers were gesturing on the stage, and many staff members were bustling about the venue.
Standing below the stage, Jack, wearing sunglasses, watched the surroundings with sharp eyes and a stern expression.
After this concert, Mathilda would return to Eastern Summer to ‘hibernate,’ so these few days were Akunus’s last chance and it could strike at any time.
They speculated that the most likely time for it to launch an attack would be when Clyde’s challenge distracted Jack.
But they couldn’t afford to be careless at any time; what if the enemy was using Clyde’s challenge to create a false expectation that it wouldn’t act for the time being?
According to Mathilda, Akunus had only two ways to retrieve the ‘dragon’: one was to control her and use a soul power of the same origin to draw out the ‘dragon.’
The other was for her to die and, in the moment before the ‘dragon’ dissipated without a host, burst forth with soul power at close range to reabsorb the dragon.
Both methods had distance limitations, so Jack just needed to ensure there were no issues with the people around Mathilda.
Or to put it another way, it would be fine as long as there were ‘no strangers’ around Mathilda when an attack happened.
At that time, except for Damon Lopes and Crystal Boyce, whom he could absolutely trust, anyone daring to step within a ten-meter radius would have to die, regardless of gender.
He would rather kill the wrong person than let a single one go.
Without the dragon, Akunus was just an average king-level being, but once it acquired the dragon to complete itself, its strength would be comparable to that of a Heavenly King-level existence, making it extremely tricky to deal with.
Moreover, being also from the Human Race and better understanding various aspects of the Federation, its threat was stronger than that of the Purgatory Demon Race’s Great Demon King.
Just then, two people and a fox entered the stadium entrance. Spotting Mathilda from afar, they excitedly shouted, “Sister Ilisa!”
“Moon?”
Looking at the excitedly running ultra-fierce girl, surprise showed in Mathilda’s eyes, and then her whole person was fiercely hugged, deforming from the squeeze.
“Heehee! Sister Ilisa, I’ve missed you so much.” The fox-eared girl hugged Mathilda and rubbed against her back and forth, utterly delighted.
Finding herself in the embrace, Mathilda was somewhat puzzled, “Moon, why did you come to Gunardo? Didn’t you go back with your brother?”
Gwen Gail grinned cheerfully, “I did go back with brother, but my uncle said it wasn’t stable enough here, Sister Ilisa, and he asked me to bring Maureen over to help.”
With that, Gwen Gail turned excitedly to Jack, “Brother Callum, you’re so amazing. You even defeated a demon king’s avatar.”
Jack responded indifferently, “Mainly because the enemy’s realm was too low, only at the Sixth Heaven Middle Stage, they couldn’t bring out their true strength.”
Even though he had directly defeated Kautorus’s avatar, Jack did not underestimate the enemy, believing that the king-level strength was just that.
As the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s level grew higher, Jack felt the gap between each Major Realm even more keenly, with each being a vast canyon.
This was evident between level eight and Level 9 Giant Beasts, and even more so for the beings above them in the mythic category.
As beings considered equal to Mythical Giant Beasts, the true strength of king-level and demon king beings was naturally terrifying.
It was just that the smuggled-in soul avatars, not containing the Laws’ Origin and hosting only at Sixth Layer Heaven, didn’t appear very strong.
And this “not very strong” still managed to unleash Pinnacle of Seventh Layer of Heaven strength from a Sixth Heaven Middle Stage host body, which was way more powerful than what Tyler Lance had originally told him.
Of course, Tyler hadn’t anticipated that Jack would directly clash with Kautorus.
What they had in mind was that if the demon king or Akunus showed up, Damon would step in to restrain one while Jack escaped with Mathilda, leaving the others ready to take over.
For the Federation, the trouble was that they hid and wouldn’t show themselves.
But once they revealed themselves and burst forth with Divine Soul power, there would be plenty of methods to track and lock onto them.
“Brother Callum, you are still so modest. After you sparred with my brother, he said you still had something up your sleeve and didn’t show all your strength.”
Jack replied dispassionately, “Mr. Gail is overestimating me. I had already burst forth with all my strength at that time, even entering Super Transformation One.”
The girl wasn’t so easily deceived, blinking her big eyes, “If there’s a first stage, then that means there must be a second and third stage, right?”
“Do you think this is an anime or something? With Super Transformation One, Super Transformation Two.” Jack shook his head, even though he did indeed have a second transformation.
“Oh, right! Let me introduce everyone.”
Saying this, Gwen Gail turned around and hugged the neck of the White Fox behind her, standing over 1 meter tall at the shoulder, more than 3 meters in body length, and having six tails, each over 2 meters long.
“This is Maureen, my good friend who grew up with me since we were little.”
“Come on, Maureen, say hello. This is my favorite Sister Ilisa, and this is Brother Callum, who even a Sixth Layer Heaven couldn’t defeat.”
Looking at Jack and the others, the White Fox’s face showed a humanized calmness. With a low growl through its breaths, it conveyed spiritual thoughts: Murr!! Hello, you two, I am, Renee.
Suddenly, surprise appeared in Mathilda’s eyes, “Thought vocalization, high intelligence in this Mutated Fox Demon, Moon, can I pet it?”
“Heehee, of course you can, Sister Ilisa.”
