I Can Assimilate Everything - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Man’s Folly IV Chapter 42: Man’s Folly IV His reasons were ridiculous.

And yet he stated them so simply and crazily as he dug into a compartment of his clothes and pulled out a 9-pointed purple crystal this time.

Major David’s eyes flashed with shock when he saw this as well, but there wasn’t even time for this.

Amos turned to him coldly as he continued.

“I did not expect there to be witnesses here when I did this, so I genuinely hope that you all get buried here so I can leave this mistake behind.” …!

“And you…” He turned his head towards the distant Rose and Achilles who were looking at this changing situation without making too many moves.

Amos seemed to be etching Rose’s face into his pupils as he sighed with regret and rage.

“I didn’t get a chance to enjoy something like you as this is a major loss-…” BZZT!

Multiple bolts of lightning formed around Achilles as he began speaking like this, Vines that were on the ground also shooting out like snakes as Amos was shocked- quickly crushing the Nine-Pointed Crystal he held in his hands!

A vine laced with poison only barely just managed to pierce into his body before he was wrapped up in a purple radiance and disappeared.

…!

He left behind confusion and a cavernous space that shook even more, the area leading outside of the Catacombs having collapsed!

“Shit!” Major David cursed out as he looked towards Achilles and Rose.

The two of them had a mixture of heavy emotions right now as Achilles was processing everything he had done and not done.

He saw the unmoving body of the Advanced Human with a mohawk.

The heaving body of the other Advanced Human that was slowly dying of poison.

And Amos…who seemed to have entirely teleported away from here.

And the newly arriving Advanced Humans- especially the one in a suit that held a marking of a half moon that made him a force of the Lunaris Colony Overseers!

His appearance caused his attacks to stall as he didn’t get to finish off Amos.

And because of that, Amos had crushed a black crystal flower, and then a purple Nine Pointed Crystal that then teleported him away.

The black flower seemed to be something extremely serious as after seeing the collapsed pathways where they would normally get out of the Evolutius Catacombs, Achilles looked towards the enraged Major David who cursed while asking them.

“You two- Rose Adrian and Achilles Maxwell, yes?” His voice was heavy as he walked toward the heavily injured woman with a brown Meridian, and Achilles looked at Rose before he nodded and replied.

“Yes.

We were only defending ourselves from them-” “That doesn’t matter now!” Major David yelled out as he shook his head when he felt the weak life force within the Meridian of the heavily injured woman.

He beckoned the dark-clothed woman behind him to get closer while he looked towards the end of the cavernous space- the area one would have to cross to get into the depths of the Evolutius Catacombs.

“What matters now is for you all to understand exactly what is about to happen.

I am Major David, and this is Eloise.

I don’t know how that young lady has already awakened her Meridian when she awakened today, nor how you, without a Meridian, was able to defeat Amos.

But…all of that may just give us a chance of living!” …!

Heavy words echoed out from Major David as Achilles and Rose became somber.

Just what had Amos done?

What was that Devil Crystal that was being shouted about?

“That shitstain Amos crushed what is called a Devil Crystal- a Devil Stone.

An Evolutius Crystal tainted with chaotic energies found within certain areas of the Catacombs.

When such a crystal is crushed inside a region of the Catacombs…it causes the entry point of that area to collapse while drawing in all Evolutius Beasts nearby.” …!

A Devil Stone!

Amos actually utilized such a thing while he himself used another treasure from the Catacombs to make an early exit- since the only entrance was collapsed.

Achilles became somber at this explanation while Major David came closer to them.

His gaze was heavy and serious- filled with immense regret as he cursed!

He looked towards the Unique Elemental Advanced Human, Eloise, and he couldn’t help but shake his head.

If they all died here, it would be such a major loss to the Lunaris Colonies- not to even mention the Colony Cities themselves.

He looked at Rose and Achilles as he shook his head with visible regret.

He saw the Meridian on Rose as nobody would believe she had awakened today, and he had already seen the devastation of this other Elemental Advanced Human- Achilles who was mistaken as a Physical Reinforcement Advanced Human.

“I’m trapped in a Leyline Origin Point with three Unique Elemental Advanced Humans who may all die with me…what in the holy hell man?” …!

He grumbled words that caused Achilles to move towards him heavily.  “What?

Leyline Origin Point?!” Words he didn’t understand but held shocking implications for anyone with common sense.

Major David nodded with a tired sigh while looking at the distant pathway of the Catacombs that had started to glow red.

“How do you think Leyline Fractures occur?

It is when too many Evolutius Beasts are concentrated in one place, causing the integrity of this region in the Catacombs to break and spill out above the Colony City.

The breaking of a Devil Crystal…will create exactly that phenomenon as we are in the center of the place where a Leyline Fracture will start.” …!

Achilles had no words while Rose, behind him, was shocked.

What the hell was this?

They were just… They were just… Achilles grit his teeth heavily and clenched his fists, anger palpable in his eyes as he looked around while asking.  “You said we could have a chance of surviving?

How bad will this be?

A few dozen Upper Tier Evolutius Beasts?

Or Lesser Meridian Transformation Evolutius Beasts?” He was gauging the level of danger with his own power that could not be measured by normal means.

Because he may just be able to- “Hundreds.” “…” A word that caused Rose to gulp came out of Major David as he sighed and raised his head towards the distant path glowing redder and redder.

“There are mainly Lesser Meridian Transformation Evolutius Beasts past here with a few Body Modification Evolutius Beasts.

We are about to be swamped with hundreds of Lesser Meridian Transformation Evolutius Beasts.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Adui Next chapter titles: Leyline Fracture!
