THE USELESS PRINCE-Chapter 15: Supreme or Unholy Tyrant

After single-handedly destroying over 1000 Mini Deaths, Serena finally returned to normal as she began to pant tiredly and sweat began to form on her forehead.

The previously smooth and shiny black hair was now a bit more matted.

"Serena..." Ash called her name, not by accident but on purpose.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Do you know what you just did?"

"Of course I do, sir. It's my Ability after all. But unfortunately, I won't be able to use it today." Serena looked apologetic.

"Don't worry, you've done your job well! Now, let me finish everything." Ash said confidently, and the words he just uttered were not empty words at all.

Ash's current goal was to find that overpowered Relic, but before that, he still needed to try a plan first.

"Hey Death! If you're so good, come down here and fight me!" Ash shouted, loud enough for Death to hear his provocation.

His plan was to make the Abyssal Creature land on the ground. And once the creature was on the ground, Ash would immediately detonate the remaining collars on the necks of the dead prisoners, instantly killing Death.

That could also be considered his revenge for those who had fallen.

However, contrary to his imagination, Death just hovered in the air, with no intention of landing.

This was unusual.

Normally, the Abyssal Creature's goal was only one, and that was to kill humanity at all costs. And they would do anything to achieve their goal. Even if that method was stupid.

But! Death just stood still in the air, not paying any attention to Ash's provocation.

'Don't tell me... that Abyssal Creature is Supreme or Unholy...' Ash was stunned, his eyes flashing with worry and a bit of hopelessness.

Abyssal Creatures were divided into 3 types:

The first type were Awakened, where they were unable to think.

The second type were Supreme, where their power was slightly reduced, but in return, they could think like a human, making them more cunning.

And the third type, which was also the most dangerous one - Unholy. In this type, Abyssal Creatures would have both the ability to think - even become extremely intelligent - and their power would also be greatly increased.

If the Abyssal Creature was a Supreme Tyrant, Ash's chances of survival would be much lower, but if it was an Unholy Tyrant...

...Ash and Serena would definitely die.

"Are you kidding me..." Ash exclaimed in disbelief.

He had thought that today was a day that could be considered quite lucky for him, but it seemed like he was a little mistaken. Today was one of the most unlucky days of his life.

What could be worse than encountering a Supreme or Unholy Tyrant here? And remember, this was just the tutorial!

'I swear if I find the one who reincarnated me here...'

"Sir, what should we do now?" Serene spoke up.

It was only when he heard the girl's voice that Ash was able to return to normal instead of feeling mad or scared.

If the plan to make Death explode didn't work, then Ash now had to move to his last plan. Which was to find the Relic that was hiding in this citadel.

And if his memories were correct, that Relic was in a warehouse somewhere in this citadel.

But the question was, could Ash find that powerful Relic before Death made its next attack?

He gulped nervously. But he had to try anyway.

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say!" Ash said firmly.

In order to advance the progress, he needed to get Serena's help. And in order to get her help, he needed to share his plan with her.

Ash knew that she would only be more suspicious of him if she heard what he was about to say, but so what?

Was that doubt more important than both of their lives? Of course not!

"There is a warehouse in this citadel, and in that warehouse is an extremely powerful Relic that can help us defeat that Abyssal Creature."

"So you want us to split up and search, right?"

It was good that Serena understood Ash's plan. But if that was the case, then why did she still not trust him?

"That's right, we don't have much time until that Abyssal Creature uses its next attack. So hurry up!"

Without Ash's command, the two immediately separated, running in opposite directions.

***

Death's next attack was to shoot out something that looked quite similar to a laser beam but black. If Ash was caught in that laser beam, it would be very difficult for him to avoid it. freēwēbnovel.com

But fortunately, it seemed that Abyssal Creature had thought that Serena was the more threatening one, thus, all those laser beams were fired at her.

From this position, Ash couldn't tell if Serena was still alive or not, but he could see how devastating those laser beams were.

'Try to survive, Serena! Don't die!'

Jumping over the rubble, running around the corpses of soldiers, and stepping on various pools of blood, Ash still couldn't find the warehouse.

Then, a dark thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

What if... just what if those Shadow Eagles had destroyed that warehouse?

"Tch! What the hell am I thinking!?" Ash cursed himself.

But honestly, it wasn't impossible.

But then, a few steps away from Ash, he saw a small house made entirely of wood and looked quite old, as if it had been a long time since someone had been there.

Ash wasn't sure if that was the warehouse he was looking for, but by the time he realized it, he was already inside.

And it seemed like his guess was correct this time as the only things that entered Ash's eyes were shiny and magnificent items.

'Here it is!' Ash couldn't help but jump up in joy.

Without wasting any more time, he started to search through the entire warehouse. Since the place wasn't that big, he didn't need to spend too much effort to find what he was looking for.

***

After about 5 minutes of searching non-stop, Ash was finally able to find it, a Relic that looked like a wooden stick with nothing too special.

However, only players like him could understand how amazing this Relic was.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Wooden Stick!]

[The strongest wooden stick in history.]

[Wooden Stick: Can only be used once. When used, it shoots a white beam at the opponent. Powerful enough to flatten a mountain instantly.]
