He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact
Chapter 217. Bounty

Chapter 217: Chapter 217. Bounty

Kailen activated the Asura Enlightenment Physique.

The moment he activated the Asura Enlightenment Physique , crimson runes begun to appear on his body.

The runes pulsed with deep crimson light ,as they travelled towards every area of his body from his head to his toe.

A deep crimson layer of skin started appearing on Kailen’s skin ,as if they had seeped out of the crimson runes .

When one looked closely ,they’d realize that the crimson layer of skin had appeared on every part of Kailen’s body, and the crimson ruins were still visible .

Finally , a single horn materialised into being on his forehead ,equally deep crimson in color.

An emotion of deep thirst for battle, and carnage, one that Kailen had never felt before boiled deeply within him ,filling him to the brim. He felt like he should tear everything apart and wreak havoc across territories and galaxies. Kailen revelled in the feeing, yet his strong will born from his goal for embarking on this journey of cultivation kept him sane.

"My goal is to stand at the peak of the universe so that no one can determine my fate and that of those I care about.If burning worlds become the only way to protect myself and those I love, so be it. If ending not only the life ,but the lives of innocents serving under someone who has crossed me, becomes the only way to prove a point that I am not someone to be trifled with, then so be it. However I will not become a brute without a conscience,controlled solely by instincts , killing without a cause-else I will end up not only losing myself ,but I will harm those I care about in addition"

The moment he repeated this to himself and reminded himself of his goal, his core reason for embarking on this journey, he did not lose himself in the feeling of carnage. However the feeling of carnage and battle he experienced , rather reinforced this belief further.

He felt like wreaking havoc , yet he was in control.

In simple words, Kailen had not lost himself.

Strength coursed through his being like never before, as a deep crimson malevolent glint flashed through his eyes . His deep ,dark abyss like hair had turned deep crimson as he floated on the air.

This was the form Kailen assumed after activating the Asura Enlightenment Physique.

Quickly, he felt an extremely strong intimacy for he battlefield , urging him to absorb the bloodlust enveloping the battlefield .

Floating in the air , he closed his deep crimson eyes and focused on the blood lust on the battlefield .

" Why did you kill me"

" Curse you"

" Why did I have to die"

" It hurts , everywhere hurts "

" Aahhhhhh... Am I dead? Am I fucking dead?"

Kailen suddenly started hearing the terrifying screams of dead people as a deep crimson form of energy migrated towards his being.

Ignoring the voices ,he focused on the deep crimson form of energy inching closer to the deep crimson runes pulsing on his skin , as the energy flowed into the runes.

The moment that happened,Kailen suddenly realized some sort of euphoric strength was coursing through his being .

Quickly, the remaining days in the pocket world flashed by quickly .

Kailen opened his crimson eyes on the battlefield in the pocket world .

" I have just 19 seconds to get back. However thanks to cultivating the bloodlust on this battle field , the level one of the Asura Enlightenment Physique has become more stable"

The nineteen seconds was up and Kailen dissapeared from the pocket world.

******

The Dark Web of the Astral Empire, expecially that of the Astral Galaxy was in an uproar.

A bounty of thousand universe coins ,an extremely large amount of money had been placed on someone’s head- a youngster who had recently caused one commotion after another in the capital of the Astral Empire ,called Kailen Darkhaven.

The bounty had been placed on him by two anonymous parties.

However many could guess who the clients behind this bounty were, Francisca Harker and Cyrus Darkhaven .

After all, they were aware of the situation between Saul Darkhaven’s son and Cyrus Darkhaven. It was only natural that Cyrus would want to get rid of him.

They were also aware of the sensational face slapping and humiliation this young man had dropped on the Harkers.

Various individuals who took jobs of this kind,consisting of mercenaries,assassination organisations and pirates in the galaxy were searching for this Kailen Darkhaven, yet he was nowhere to be found . It had been three days since Kailen had come out of the pocket world. And yet,no one knew where he was hiding.

The bounty hunters however oblivious of the target’s location did not give up as the bounty reward was just too ridiculous to pass up this opportunity to earn overnight wealth.

They kept searching .

Many had thought of visiting Kailen Darkhaven’s home planet to cause harm to his loved ones in order to make him appear,however they had dropped that idea the moment they thought of it.

Inasmuch as Kailen Darkhaven had a bounty on his head, his planet was under the protection of the Astral Empire and he was also an alchemist ,having the backing of the Universe Alchemy Association branch in the Astral Empire.

They could not act rashly- if they did, they’d earn the ire of the Alchemy Association.

This was the reason why even the Harkers and Darkhavens had not used this method to lure him into the open.

" This Kailen Darkhaven is really sly. There’s no way the Harkers can use a justifiable means to kill his loved ones and lure him into the open now. After all, technically ,he didn’t kill their daughter, she killed herself "

" Right, had he killed her,it would have been a different issue. However since he didn’t kill her,they cannot use it as a justifiable reason to go after his loved ones. They can only deal with him directly ,with the excuse that he was in some way responsible for their daughter’s death. That’s something not even the alchemy association can argue with-after all, he kidnapped their daughter ,only to bring her back in a state where she wanted to kill herself . However going after his loved ones is something that cannot work. Fbe Alchemy association will only have a reason to openly attack the Harkers .Their hands are tied"

" Yeah, they can only wait for him to make an open appearance . I heard the alchemy association has sent rank 5 beginner stage galactic lifeforms to guard Kailen Darkhaven’s loved ones in secret .So even if someone wanted to harm his loved ones in secret ,it would be futile . Some of the merceneries, assassins and pirates sent after him has only been dissapering "

" Does the alchemy association really value him that much?"

" Idiot, not only is he a genius alchemist , he’s also a talented awakener who can a defeat an opponent with strength leagues above his own. He also has an elemental dormant physique. If the Alchemy association doesn’t place value on him, I would say they are extremely screwed in the head"

Francisca Harker’s secretary showed her the messages circulating through the online forums of the virtual universe .

The assistant was shaking from head to toe,cursing his life choices as sweat trickled down his clothes,soaking him wet despite the sudden rise in the temperature of the luxurious hall.

He had been there when the previous assistant was burnt to death by this woman in a fit of anger.

Was this gonna be his fate?
