Chapter 684 -The Godhunter Alliance
GDK 684: The Godhunter Alliance
“Hm.” Han Shuo looked at the shop assistant in a rather intrigued manner. Rather puzzled about her intentions, he asked with a charming smile, “What makes you think that I will be interested in something like this?”
“You have enough crystal coins and care a lot about the energy of destruction. You seem like you would surely spare a large sum of money on scrolls with real content. I dare assure you that that scroll of mine is more useful than any other scroll here!” The young lady was composed and answered with a wide grin.
“What’s the price? I should tell you in advance that if it’s not worth what I pay for, I’m going to ask for a refund!”
“No problem. If you think that it’s not worth it, I will refund you all the crystal coins!” the young lady said with confidence. She looked left and right, made sure that no one else was watching her, and carefully withdrew a yellowish divine scroll. This scroll seemed to have been repeatedly used.
“Forty purple crystal coins. Not a piece short!” the young lady swayed the scroll in front of Han Shuo and said unflinchingly.
“Here, forty purple crystal coins. Take it,” Han Shuo withdrew forty purple crystal coins and handed it to her. He thought that the price of the scroll was really high. One could buy a lot more with forty purple crystal coins.
“Here’s your scroll. You will not be disappointed. I can assure you that!” the young lady handed the yellowish scroll into Han Shuo’s hand with great confidence.
Han Shuo found it intriguing that the young lady would be so confident and so he unfurled the scroll and had a look. He hastily committed the contents on the scroll to memory and immediately after that, the yellowish divine scroll abruptly ignited and turned into ashes.
“There will be no refunds now!” the young lady hastily voiced as Han Shuo burned the divine scroll to ashes before her very eyes.
He was somewhat surprised – even the godhunters had formed an alliance of their own. What Rahman did was to secretly recruit new members for the Godhunter Alliance. It was rather straightforward to consume another’s divine energy for cultivators of the eight elemental energies. This, however, wasn’t as straightforward for cultivators of the four edictal forces. For the purpose of recruiting more cultivators of the edict of destruction, Rahman revealed the method of engulfing another’s divine energy to gods who cultivated in the edict of destruction. Then, when some of them succumbed to the temptation, they would voluntarily join as new members of the Godhunter Alliance.
This was the first time Han Shuo learned about the Godhunter Alliance. Even Donna did not mention this to him. Godhunters could be said as the public enemy of the Elysium. This bunch of unique lunatics was heavily hunted in every single Overgod Dominion. If one of them were to make the slightest blunder in a major city, they would suffer a catastrophic blow.
Every city had sufficient divine guards and formidable leaders. These godhunters surely wouldn’t be so bold to recruit new members in big cities. They would only do so in fortresses like Fort Verka where defenses and surveillance were inadequate. Even if they were exposed, they could easily leave and escape without much harm.
Rahman was clearly one of the members of the Godhunter Alliance but Han Shuo had no idea about his position level in the organization. As Rahman cultivated in the elemental energy of darkness, he wasn’t all that interested in him.
Although the Godhunter Alliance was extremely repulsive and vile, they had not truly harmed Han Shuo. Therefore, even though he was aware of the scheme, he decided to ignore the matter.
That mystical demon crossed through Rahman’s boundary of darkness noiselessly and returned to Han Shuo. Instead of immediately proceeding to the City of Shadows, Han Shuo went to a gym and planned to stay there for some time. He intended to spend time researching and mastering the Orb of Destruction.
There was an abundance of gyms and training fields available for use in Fort Verka, as long as one had sufficient crystal coins. With three purple crystal coins, Han Shuo rented a training field of several million square feet that came with an isolation barrier for half a year.
By following the method of condensing an Orb of Destruction recorded in the scroll, in two months, Han Shuo had successfully compressed his destruction divine energy into an orb that emanated an intense aura of destruction. The orb was dark in color and approximately the size of a palm. Divine energy seemed to be whirling in the orb like liquid.
When an Orb of Destruction took shape, one-fifth of Han Shuo’s destruction divine energy was diverted and gathered on the Orb. To proceed, Han Shuo tried to manipulate the Orb of Destruction in a trajectory recorded on the scroll. However, he was unable to get the knack of it. He knew that the author of the scroll had deliberately distorted or left out certain information so that the readers could not truly unleash the full power of the Orb of Destruction.
However, Han Shuo had a mighty consciousness and a great deal of patience. He believed that if he would continue to experiment perfecting the Orb of Destruction with the help of his miraculous consciousness, he would be able to truly master the attack method.
One day, while Han Shuo was still attempting to figure out the correct way of manipulating the Orb of Destruction in his training field, jingling bells suddenly rang at his front door.
Immediately, Han Shuo returned his avatar of destruction into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. Puzzled, he walked to the front door of his training field and asked, “Zoya, did I not mention that I do not wish to be disturbed by anyone?”
“I’m sorry but there are officers that wish to see you,” Zoya replied in a helpless voice. He was the person in charge of the training field. According to the rules, as long as the patron had paid sufficient fees for their duration of use, the patron should not be disturbed.
“Are you Bryan? An energy of destruction cultivator?” a young woman with a graceful physique and scattered red hair that looked like a waterfall sized Han Shuo up before she asked.
“That’s right. How can I help you?” Han Shuo asked confusedly. He could tell that this woman also cultivated in the energy of destruction and attained late-stage lowgod strength. She was in a slightly higher realm compared to Han Shuo’s avatar of destruction.
“During the recent days, many cultivators of the edict of destruction have been found dead in Fort Verka with their divine energies drained. They must have fallen prey to other cultivators of the same energy. I’m acting under orders to interrogate every suspicious person. Come take a walk with us!” the young woman gave a short explanation before turning around and walking away. She gestured at Han Shuo and the divine guards behind her, indicating them to keep pace with her.
