The Author's POV

Chapter 281

"Haaa...haaa...khaaa!"

Slumping on the ground, I greedily breathed in the oxygen in the air. Blood dripped on the ground as I bled from all of the orifices on my face.

'Damn it, that was no joke'

An ranked individual's pressure was no joke. For a brief moment of time, I thought that I was going to die just from his stare alone.

Fortunately for me, he was too far from where I was. By the time he had arrived, I was already long gone.

Still, just the recollection of the pressure he emitted made me tremble in fear.

It was scary.

"Khh"

Groaning, I lifted my head and looked around.

"Haaa, guess things worked out."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Once I looked up, I realized that this was the same room as before, the private portal room. Thanks to the Monolith ring that I had taken from Luther, I was able to teleport to this room.

The room was still the same as I had left it, as the portal was ready to go.

'Thank god, things worked out.'

Although I could've used this portal to create an explosion, had I done so, I wouldn't have been able to escape.

Supporting myself with the aid of the wall, I weakly stood up. Staring at the portal, my heart was surprisingly calm.

I was just one step away from freedom, something that I had been wishing for the past eight months. Yet, at the crucial moment, just when I was about to take a step towards freedom, to my surprise, rather than feeling excited or happy, I felt extremely calm.

Perhaps it was because of all of that happened during the past eight months, or because of the scare I just got, but I wasn't particularly excited about my escape.

It felt as though this was the outcome that was supposed to happen.

"hmm?"

Disrupting me out of my calm was a sudden fluctuation. The fluctuation was so strong that the ground started to shake.

"Shit, the core is about to explode."

Realizing the urgency of the situation, I decided to hurry up.

I wasn't necessarily worried about someone coming to get me since by now the others were busy trying to contain the explosion, but even then, judging from the ripple just now, the portal was about to explode any minute now.

For my own good, it was better to leave before it exploded.

"Huuu..."

Moving towards the portal, I took a deep breath. Turning back, and staring in the direction of where the general portals were, I raised my hand and flipped my middle finger.

As I did, I swore out loud.

"The explosion is only a little taste of what will come in the future you fuckers!"

For what they've done to me these pasts eight months, I swore to myself that I would do anything within my power to destroy them.

That was a promise.

Glancing in the direction of where the energy was coming from for the last time, I turned around and stepped into the portal.

Once again, a strange feeling hit me, and my body slowly disappeared.

SHUUUUA'”!

Finally, I was free.

At the same time.

"Damn it."

Standing in the sky, Mo Jinhao cursed out loud. His ashen grey colored eyes coldly stared at the portal in front of him. In the middle of it was a core that emitted tremendous ripples of energy that spread throughout the distance, dying the sky in the color black.

Kacha'”!

Suddenly, black lightning bolts crackled around the core, as the fluctuations started to intensify. As the fluctuations intensified, Mo Jinhao's face couldn't help but change as even he felt threatened by the energy that was being emitted by the core.

Lowering his head, he looked at Tasos next to him.

"Tasos, inject more mana."

"I'm trying."

Tasos replied back as the hue revolving around his body intensified.
