Loading... please wait.

Under the clear blue sky, a completely different scene is happening.

Boom! Boom!

"Roar!"

"Pack Leader."

Craters 2 meters deep were created everytime a fireball hits the ground. Upon looking further in this place, countless black craters can be seen, along with the corpses of Red Wolves.

"Die."

Slash!

The man fighting against the Red Wolf King sent out an unassuming Sword Strike to its neck. It looks very normal, but once someone with a Law Level Sword Mastery sees this, his eyes would definitely constrict out of shock. He's only at the 3rd Level Sword Mastery, yet his attack contained traces of Law Level Sword Mastery already!

Due to the Red Wolf King opening its mouth to bite the man, it didn't have the time to evade. In an instant, its body was split into two. Its split body spewed out fresh blood which is hot in nature.

"Please.."

Sparing no time, the man dismantled the corpse of the Red Wolf King. After a while, he let out a small shout.

"An Elemental Core and an Elemental Bone.. And its even the leg bone. I am lucky this time."

Looking at the bright red core and the 2m long Red Bone that is emitting Fire Elements, the man smiled. That man is Red.

Right after they returned, he left the school. It would be even better if everyone else would think that he's dead already. That's also the main reason why he set up that huge array with the effects of defense and Mind Wipe spell. Since most of the people at school wouldn't be able to remember anything during the time they were at another planet, it gave Red the chance to enact his plan.

Since there'll be nothing but troubles once his family members know that he's alive and a talented Combatant on top of that, he chose this way during his Second Chance.

He had experienced enough during his past life already. His past self thought that he'll be accepted in his family once he shows his talent, but all went into shit when his step mother heard of him. She send waves after waves of assassins after him. He was only lucky that he never got killed in any of that assassination attempts.

That's why he asked the 4 D- Rankers with him to keep at least what happened to him a secret.

'When I become strong enough.. I'll give them a payback.'

A glint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he began dismantling every Red Wolf soon. It seemed that he exhausted most of his luck already, as he only received 4 D+ Fire Elemental Cores after dismantling 30 Red Wolves.

Since both Fire Elemental Cores and the Fire Elemental Bone were used to craft Spiritual Artifacts, the price that it'll fetch in the Black Market that Red knows will be high.

Suddenly, a ring tone sounded from Red's satellite phone. Due to the waves of Energies such as Qi and Mana, the places where a fragment of another Planet merged into Aquamarine will have no signal. That's also the place where Red is right now. Most fragments of other Planets were recalled by their wills already, but some of them weren't.

"Hello?"

"Red~I W-A-N-N-A-G-O-W-I-T-H-Y-O-U !"

A loud voice was heard by Red the moment he waited for her call. That's right, its Scarlet.

Before they went separate ways, he made an offer to them. He'll make them stronger faster if they'll go on a journey with him. As for the price, he honestly told them that he needed comrades. Though, he made this offer so that the tragedies that befell them wouldn't happen this time. He knew that once they grow up, they'll be a valuable comrade when fighting against the disaster.

"The same as always.."

"What did you say? I didn't hear it.."

He muttered a low voice instinctively. This is how Scarlet is during their past life, even when they were about to be defeated by 'them'.

"Nothing. We'll meet up at the Playground near our school tonight. And.."

"What?"

"Did you already tell your parents about this?"

"Ah-Yes!"

'She's lying..'

"Hm.. See you later."

" Okay!"

Red hang up the call. Not long after, his ringtone sounded another time.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Red. I agree. Where should we meet?"

This time, its the voice of Anna, their class rep. As the daughter of a Tower Master in Aindell, there should be no reason for her to agree with him. She got the resources, the arrays, and the Pocket Dimensions for her to use. Still, she agreed after careful deliberation. She believed in the outcome that her [High-Speed Calculation] trait had given her.

"At the playground near our school."

5 seconds later, she replied.

"Is that so? I'll be meeting you there then."

"Alright. See you later."

Red hanged up his second call.

'She's still doing it.'

He couldn't help but sigh once he thought of Anna. After a month of interaction with her, he noticed that she'll only reply to others for around 5-8 seconds later. He then thought of her trait [Supercomputer] which was revealed in the future and everything clicked.

Due to her inhumane computation speed, she tends to overthink things. Even her replies are carefully chosen so that the other party will increase their favourability towards her.

'Eh? They all called nearly at the same time?"

Hearing his ringtone, Red answered the call.

"Hello?"

"I agree. Where to meet?"

"At the playground near our school."

"Alright. Goodbye."

This time, the caller was the one who ended the call.

"Maria.. She's a problem child too.."

After he got to know her, it seems that her outer appearance is nothing but a lie. If Aria Frostdragon has the classic cold face due to her ancestral blood line, Maria's case is different. She's the reason why she always has that straight face. The truth is that, she cannot communicate well.

Because of that, she unintentionally makes that cold face every single time. Even though she's the head of the girls clique in their class, its more like them being her admirers.

"A happy-go-lucky girl, an overthinking girl, and the communication disorder girl. It seems that I might have some troubles with the upcoming journey.."

As he thought about the three girls, he had foreseen that he might get into many troubles. Forget about Scarlet whom he's already used to, there's still two of them on top of that. When he thought about these lines, he couldn't help but think of that duo.

"How are they? I should expect them having a power up after they return. They will go to the Deity-Realm ruins after all."

One is his friend while the other holds the destiny of the Dragon Race. Yes, you haven't read it wrong. Lugh is his friend even back in his previous life. Thinking about his unlucky friend, he couldn't help but sigh yet again.

"He died in that 'event'.. He's a very smart man, so I didn't expect his outcome back then."

When he had heard of his death in his past life, he couldn't believe it. A carefree guy, but that's all in the surface. Beneath it is a smart and cautious man. He's the person who plans for Aria every single time. When he became the Strategist of the Frost Dragon Empire, they made many good decisions out of all 7 Major Powers.

When they were transported into the other planet, Lugh still spoke to many just like how he used to. Its like the very shocking thing to them wouldn't affect Lugh much. It can be seen when Lugh still spoke to Red like usual in this life. That's also the reason why they became friends in the first place.

After he got stronger, he sought Lugh's advice during some of his problems. It was because of this that he had seen the other layer of him. He might be a carefree guy, yes, but he's always sharp and calculating once things get serious. Even during his carefree mode, he always makes sure that he has 2-3 countermeasures prepared.

"He's a smart man which wouldn't only change the destiny of every single living being, but also help me fight against the disaster. That's why I hope that they'll be alright this time.."

If not for the fact that their trip to the other world is crucial to their strength development, Red would've prevented that for happening.

"I should start going.."

Red began preparing to leave the area and drive to the playground.
