At this time, five crystal-level and dozens of gold-level rune warriors had already arrived in front of them, each of them revealing a fierce expression as they approached.
The combination of the various types of rune power made people involuntarily feel a rather powerful aura.
Kokonoro took a step forward and blocked in front of Joelson and Connie. He said, "Later, I'll transform and entangle those crystal-level rune warriors. You'll be responsible for taking care of the rest."
Before Kokonoro could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened. His face was filled with disbelief.
He only saw Joelson casually glance at him, before he casually waved his hand in the direction of the dozens of rune warriors.
It was as if he was chasing away a group of flies.
His fair palm drew a platinum arc in the air.
The arc was quickly magnified, and the light almost covered the sun in the sky.
Whoosh!
When the platinum light flashed past, Kokonoro felt his heart tremble violently.
A never-before-felt fear spread from his tail and spread throughout his entire body. His entire body felt a chill.
He was only standing beside Joelson and he was on the side of the explosion of power. The platinum power was not coming for him.
He felt like he was going to die in the next moment.
It was too scary!
Kokonoro turned his head and looked at him in horror.
Under that face, which had not changed much compared to five years ago, there was a terrifying power.
Kokonoro finally knew how casual it was when he saw him.
If Joelson had wanted to, he would have crushed it as easily as crushing an ant.
The moment the platinum power erupted, the battle between Lightning and Archduke Isaac also stopped.
Isaac looked over in horror and saw a scene that almost scared him to death.
He only saw a black crack in the sky.
The dozens of rune powerhouses that had originally charged at Joelson were still in the air, maintaining their forward posture.
And then.
Black cracks rapidly extended in the sky.
The void was as fragile as a piece of white paper. Now, it was violently torn apart, revealing the pitch-black original appearance underneath.
The bodies of the dozens of runic experts quietly separated from the middle, their faces still carrying a savage gaze.
Immediately after, their bodies were mercilessly devoured by the shattered void, completely disappearing.
Until now, these people had not realized their own death.
Archduke Isaac's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
He suddenly realized an extremely terrifying reality.
These people were not puppets controlled by the runic beast in front of him but the other way around.
They were the ones controlling this runic beast!
Archduke Isaac opened his mouth and let out a sharp cry. At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of an archduke from before. He turned into a stream of light and fled.
Joelson casually stretched out his right hand and stretched it forward.
Isaac's body suddenly stopped in midair, unable to move at all.
Then, he flew back automatically and was strangled by Joelson like a rabbit struggling on the ground with a lion's paw.
Countless people in Western City saw this scene. Everyone's mouths were wide open as they stared blankly at the sky.
They rubbed their eyes repeatedly in disbelief. They still couldn't believe it.
Archduke Isaac was actually being held in the palm of someone's hand without any ability to resist?
This scene was too shocking and terrifying.
It was even more unreal than a dream.
Joelson calmly looked at Isaac in his hand and said calmly, "I'll ask. You will answer."
Isaac nodded desperately, afraid that he would be crushed to death by Joelson if he was a second late.
"How many people in the land of runes are stronger than you?"
Isaac quickly answered, "Among the four dukes of the land of runes, Archduke Noel from the east is the strongest. However, he is not a human. He is a rune stone that has self-awareness or an attribute. There are two other archdukes whose strength is about the same as mine."
"Noel? Fire-attribute rune stone?"
Joelson unconsciously chanted.
Isaac immediately added, "Yes. But, although he is strong, he is only slightly stronger than the three of us archdukes. He is far inferior to you, Sir. Otherwise, he would have unified the land of runes long ago."
Isaac said obsequiously, "I am willing to offer my loyalty to you, Sir, and help you become the only king of the land of runes."
"The king of the land of runes."
Isaac saw that Joelson's face seemed to be moved. Before he could relax and rejoice, he found that the strength on his neck had suddenly increased.
"No."
Joelson casually strangled Isaac to death and squeezed out a rune stone that shone with the luster of a diamond.
Glancing at the Western City below, he raised his head to look at the phoenix and said calmly and confidently, "I want to be the god of the land of runes."
"The only god."
The entire place fell into silence as everyone stared blankly at Joelson.
Kokonoro's face was filled with shock. Connie knelt down in front of Joelson fervently and devoutly and kissed his feet.
There was only Lightning as it circled around and roared in excitement.
...
"No, how can you be so strong?"
A scream of despair and terror accompanied it.
The archduke of the southern side of the notification rune land was imprisoned in the domain by Joelson. He was squeezed into a bloody mist.
The learned species revealed a beautiful crystal that was emitting a strange glow and was almost transparent.
Joelson waved his hand and kept it in his palm.
"It's actually a rare air-type rune stone."
A hint of surprise appeared in Joelson's eyes.
The rune experts who had witnessed Joelson killing the archduke with a few moves retreated one after another, their faces full of fear.
"Now, only Noel from the east is left."
Joelson raised his head and looked to the east. Seven or eight giant dragons were circling and roaring behind him.
The wide dragon wings almost covered the entire sky. The city seemed dim. Everyone was shrouded in panic and fear.
Another black figure flew over from the east, casting an even thicker layer of haze over everyone's hearts.
"That Noel has escaped."
Kokonoro's deep voice sounded.
It was under the orders of Joelson to head to the territory of Archduke Noel to investigate the situation. In the end, the other party was scared out of their wits by Joelson and left the territory to escape.
Joelson frowned slightly and said coldly, "This guy is quite cunning."
In the past three months, Joelson had gone to the runic land, killing three grand dukes in front of everyone and taking away their runestones.
The fall of the three supreme experts shook the entire runic land.
The runic land's long-standing structure had been broken, and an unprecedented upheaval was taking place.
Fear, unease, and despair. These emotions quickly spread like a plague in the hearts of the people in the runic land.
Countless people thought that the end was coming.
But what happened next exceeded everyone's expectations.
