The Author's POV

Chapter 280

Clang'”!

The moment my sword met the core, a dull metallic sound rang out as my sword vibrated from the shock. Accompanying the sound was a small ripple that began to spread all over the Monolith.

As the ripple spread, all forms of noises began to stop, as countless eyes directed themselves towards me.

Crack'”!

Not long after, a subtle cracking sound rang out. Lowering my head, terrifying energy enveloped the area around me, making it hard for me to breathe.

"Hueeek"

A strange noise escaped from my mouth as I tried my best to breathe. Unfortunately for me, the more time passed, the more difficult it became for me to breathe.

That was to be expected though.

Compared to back in the dome, the core here was of a higher grade. If back then it took multiple ranked heroes to stop containing the explosion, this time, ranked weren't enough. This type of explosion required the aid of multiple ranked individuals.

The pressure was too terrifying.

"Haaa..haaa.."

Even then, under everyone's stares, and powerful pressure, I remained calm.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly started circulating the mana inside of my body. More specifically, towards the ring on my hand.

The ring was something that I had gotten from Luther, and it was the same ring that Thibaut had.

The Monolith ring.

The ring that teleported people to the Monolith, or more specifically the VIP portal area. The room that I had been to previously.

It was because of the ring in my hand that I did not worry about the aftermath of destroying the core. As long as I had it, I could quickly escape from a dire situation.

'Come on, hurry up!'

Even then, it required some time to activate.

Channeling my mana and staring at the ring on my finger, I prayed that it worked faster. Time was tight, and I knew that right now, my life was hanging by the thread.

If in the next seconds the ring did not work, then everything would be over.

"How dare you!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar that shook the building reverberated. Startled, I looked towards the distance.

For a split second, my heart stopped, and my eyes blacked out.

My breathing which was already rough became harder. With my hands on my face, as I lifted my head and stared into the distance, the first thing I saw was a pair of cold and chilling eyes that looked back at me with unprecedented bloodlust.

'I'm going to die.'

Upon meeting those eyes, the only thing I saw was my imminent death.

'This is it'

I thought as I stared into those eyes that seemed to be able to see through my very soul. Never before had I felt death so near to me. Not even when I was trapped inside of the lab for eight months.

"No! I can't die!"

For a split second, I had almost given up. However, recalling everything that I had gone through to get to where I was, I felt indignant. How could I die like this?

There was no way!

Clenching my teeth, and snapping out of my delusion, I found that blood was falling from the side of my mouth and eyes. Even then, not once did I stop channeling the mana inside of my body.

My eyes never separated from Mu Jinhao in the distance.

Glaring back at him, I suddenly watched as his body disappeared and reappeared a couple of meters away from me. A small smile appeared on my lips as I watched him reappear not far from me.

He was too late.

Suddenly, the ring on my finger glowed, and my body slowly turn into fine particles as all my senses disappeared. Then, under Mu Jinhao's terrifying glare, my body slowly started to fade away.
