Chapter 291 - Level 6 Enhanced
Vine Forest, Vine Region:
Varian was sent flying into the air as the Horned Rabbit slammed into his body like a truck.
"Ouch!" As he spurted blood in mid-air, Varian flipped and kicked the air. The air was compressed and it pushed him towards the Horned Rabbit.
"Hi! Hioo!" The Horned Rabbit squeaked and a red hue covered its body. Its small body was now replaced by a large body rivaling that of a house.
The horned rabbit was long gone and a majestic unicorn took its place.
"'¦but you only have a horn in common." Varian complained but the unicorn didn't listen.
It flapped its wings and appeared in front of Varian in an instant and kicked him hard.
Varian crossed his arms to block off the attack while he also covered himself with space armor and lightning armor.
But'
Kacha!
Boom!
His defense broke in an instant and the unicorn's hoofs hit him in the chest.
Varian's body was thrown down at a high speed and crashed into the ground, creating a deep human-shaped crater.
The unicorn floated in the sky as it looked down at its prey. In its opinion, a level 5 would be seriously injured or even die with that attack.
"Ow! That seriously hurt." Varian climbed out of the crater and muttered in annoyance.
[+10 Xp]
[Body (Enhanced) Level 5: 2000/2000]
[Advancing]
Varian felt the chi in his body rise. It wasn't the biggest change, however. His chi was now in a much greater harmony with his body cells.
It still couldn't enter them, but by covering them, it protected, nurtured and improved them.
[Body (Enhanced) Level 6: 0/4000]
"Yes!" Varian yelled and clenched his fists.
Boom!
Boom!
Just his simple action blasted the air away and the surroundings shook at the shockwaves produced by the air blasts.
Varian felt a new level of power.
"Finally Level 6'¦" He grinned and side stepped.
"Grrh!"
Boom!
The unicorn tried to sneak attack on him, but didn't expect him to react swiftly. So, it ended up crashing into the ground.
Varian didn't give it any chance and appeared above its body.
"Neighhh!" The unicorn tried to struggle but a single kick to the neck silenced it forever.
Varian took its corpse into his space ring and glanced at the surroundings.
Small craters, blood of the unicorn and of course, his blood.
"Boo, remove the traces."
After two minutes, the location showed no signs that level 6s fought here.
Varian nodded in satisfaction and left.
Shortly after he did, messengers from the other regions started pouring in.
*** *** **** ****
Snow Mountains, Ice Region:
Varian entered the area and soon, he found his target.
A blue-haired young man who kept a vigilant watch over his surroundings. The messenger of Ashtarh Team.
At the moment, he knew about 'Charles going on a rampage and eliminating the messengers'.
For that very reason, most of the messengers in this region also went to Vine Forest.
That meant the current messengers were extremely stretched out.
'Still, it's better than going to the Vine Forest. Who knows if that guy suddenly appears and eliminates me?'
He thought as he patted his chest.
"Anyway, Team Sarah should be almost done by now, eh'wha!" He muttered while walking when the surroundings suddenly went dark.
The next moment, he lost his consciousness. Varian sent a message through his comm and eliminated him.
"Almost done'¦? I should hurry up." Varian's brows knit together and his body blurred.
He reached the snow mountains and climbed a mountain with the weakest monsters.
Carefully concealing his breath, he reached the peak of the mountain and saw a large blue building.
It was smaller than the 'Snow Palace' that Sarah's team was facing, but it was large nonetheless.
Varian carefully buried near the building 'Thunder dynamites' and slipped away.
Before he did, he 'set' the timing of their explosion.
It was a small feature of the dynamites. But once the time was set, it couldn't be changed.
"I hope I'm not too off." He muttered and disappeared.
Sarah's team was only a few peaks away.

Twisted Islands, Twisted Region:
"Damn! Did he really think he can do whatever he wants?" Ahri paced around as she thought back to the news a few minutes ago.
Charles'¦
"Argh! Bastard! Attacking level 5s, that shows what you're made of." She said with a mocking tone, yet it couldn't hide the annoyance in her voice.
Varian challenged her in the banquet. She underestimated him and'¦lost.
It was a huge wound to her pride.
As the younger sister of Ashtarh, she always aimed for the best. Just like her brother.
But now, someone a year younger suddenly popped up and defeated her.
She really felt mad.
"Maybe he used excess treasures to advance? Right! Could be it." She told herself.
Indeed, not just her, but many high awakeners held the same opinion on Varian.
But given the fact that Evander was his master, he wouldn't commit such a low level mistake.
Evander knew clearly that forcibly advancing with treasures would only curb Varian's potential and perhaps, cut off his future path.
But then'¦
"Why is he so strong?" Ahri stomped her feet before glancing at the central island.
She didn't see any movement from Helia and Caleb.
But she didn't think they were on the island either. Given their space powers, they could've teleported sneakily and left for other regions already.
But given that she was only a peak level 5, she wouldn't be able to spot a peak level 6 space awakener leaving.
Not just her, but none of the messengers would know where she went.
Even though Ashtarh thought the same, he asked her to stay on the island and after some time, pick up the treasures.
Would it be easy?
Well, she and her side would have to fight with Helia's messenger team.
But the treasures were worth it.
Barring the treasures that increased one's level with side effects, there could be weapons, shield charms, formations and more.
As she was thinking of her harvest, her breath suddenly halted and she glanced at a figure in the distance.
"'¦He!" She gulped and checked her comm, realizing that no one else noticed him.
'What is he doing here? Is he also a messenger? Shouldn't be.' Ahri thought as she captured Varian's movements in her mental sense.
'Whatever the reason, I will defeat him and avenge myself.' She clenched her fist and covered herself with her mind power.
She shot towards Varian at a great speed and was just a few meters away from him.
She waved her hand and created a huge sword with mental power.
But before she could swing it, she saw Varian turning around.
All she was his deep, pitch black eyes. They looked at her with the eye of a predator.
Her body went cold as she shivered uncontrollably.
The next thing she knew, everything went blank.
