Who is Black Star's target?
Frenzied Saber's expression changed, filled with surprise.
The expressions of the others also became strange. Black Star was their leader, and upon hearing the news that someone was going to deal with him, the group inexplicably felt a sense of shared hatred.
Hao Tian's eyes flashed, and he communicated in the channel. "We may have started a new questline with the _Illustrated Book. Moon, keep asking and try to trigger more hidden storylines."
The Long Sky.
"Black Star is our commander, and we will definitely deliver this list, but we want to know more information. Can you tell us the details of this list?"
Ronaldo voice, "The people on the list are all well-known powerhouses from all over the Shattered Star Ring, not ordinary Grade A superhumans. They are basically big figures with powerful influence, or Lone Walker known for their personal strength. The group's goal is to hunt down and capture these powerful individuals. As far as I know, some of the people on the list have already disappeared."
Who is on the Pursuit list?
Long Sky to press on, following the lead of the conversation.
"They seem to be a mysterious group. I don't know their origins, so let's call them ' Hunters ' for now. They hunt down the strong on the list. I've only met them once. At that time, I encountered two Hunters were extremely powerful, probably at the A+ level."
Ronaldo's eyes flashed with seriousness as he added, "My hands were broken by one of them."
"So you're also a target of the Hunters?"
"No." Ronaldo shook his head.
Long Sky was taken aback, her expression puzzled, "Then you..."
At this point, Ronaldo interrupted him, explaining, "I was an outsider caught in the Implicated, so I only lost both hands."
He paused, then continued, "I have a friend, also Calamity Grade being, who is the target on the list. He runs an armed force in the Skywalker Star System and has close ties to the Hutt Civilization."
"A year ago, I was a guest at his headquarters. Everything was normal until two Hunters suddenly appeared. They stormed into the headquarters and were unstoppable. So my friend and I joined forces to fight them, but the two had overwhelming combat power, and we were utterly defeated."
"During the battle, I managed to steal some data from their communicator, obtaining this incomplete list. Their target was my friend; they captured him and took him away, while I was severely wounded and collapsed to the side."
"I'm an Grade A superhuman, after all. I thought they would take me away too, but they didn't even look at me and just swaggered away. They seemed indifferent to people who weren't their targets."
Ronaldo suddenly gave a wry smile, "You could say they didn't take me seriously, which is why I escaped unscathed."
Everyone looked on in surprise.
The Hunters ' goal is to capture powerful individuals, but they can't even easily take away a severely injured Grade A expert who is unable to fight back. Is this because their target is clear, or are their standards too high?
In any case, this group of mysterious Hunters seems unfathomable.
"This hidden plot is definitely not simple."
"Frenzied Saber said in the channel."
Ronaldo continued, "Although the Hunters are mysterious, the people on the list are disappearing one by one, which cannot be hidden and means that the Hunters are still active. Please be sure to pass the list on to Black Star. Although I don't know him, since Black Star mercenaries have helped me, I don't mind reminding your legion commander."
He also had his own agenda. Black Star was backed by the Dragon Emperor, which might be able to deal with the Hunters. If Black Star succeeded, he wouldn't have to hide here anymore.
The reason he kept a low profile and went into seclusion was because he was afraid that one day he would be on the Hunters ' list. Although he had only fought them once, he was already terrified of Hunters.
At this moment, the player's interface showed activity.
[You have triggered the hidden quest [Mysterious Hunting List]!]
The group exchanged glances and nodded.
Shattered Star Ring, a certain galaxy.
A spaceship with obvious signs of damage to its hull is moving at full speed, like a streak of light across the dark universe.
"Warning! Warning! Fuel reserves have dropped to the warning level. We will exit warp mode in one minute," the artificial intelligence alerted.
"Damn it! Those two guys will catch up!"
Bang!!
Inside the cockpit, Kernid was furious and slammed his fist on the control panel, looking anxious.
He was a humanoid race with dark purple skin and naturally formed patterns on his skin (https://m. hetushu. com. com). He wore a specially made runic armor combat suit that combined mechanical and magical technologies. The armor was covered inside and out with countless mysterious enchanted runes, possessing dozens or even hundreds of magical functions. It was a common combat weapon used by interstellar mages.
However, at this moment, the expensive runic armor was in a terrible state, damaged everywhere and covered in Kernid's blood.
Kernid is the official strongest person of a certain star system civilization and an honorary member of the Secret Church of the Red Robe of Sorcerer. He is a magician nicknamed "Deep Purple Warlock" and enjoys a high reputation in the star system in which he mainly operates. However, he is currently on the run for his life and has never been so miserable.
It was all because of those two enemies who suddenly appeared.
He was enjoying his paid vacation and traveling when he encountered two Mysterious Person attacked him without saying a word, and a fight broke out without him even realizing it.
Then, Kernid was shocked to discover that he was no match for the two men and was soon seriously injured.
Fortunately, he had a trump card. He managed to shake off the two men, board the spaceship, and escape. The two mysterious enemies were hot on his heels, and he dared not stop.
As fuel rapidly depleted, the spaceship gradually slowed down, finally escaping the jump orbit and returning to normal flight mode.
"Oh no!" Kernid was sweating profusely and clenched his fists tightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the buzzing sound of magical fluctuations penetrated through the layers of cabin walls and was detected by Kernid's keen senses, causing his expression to change drastically.
A shimmering blue ring appeared on the hull of the spaceship, then rapidly expanded into a portal from which two people emerged.
The two were wearing identical white coats with no visible markings. The fabric of their clothes seemed peculiar, shimmering with light and faintly displaying countless tadpole-like enchanted runes.
The two people, a man and a woman, both wore special alloy masks that concealed their faces. The man's mask resembled a bird's head, while the woman's mask resembled a feline.
A dozen thick, ancient books floated around the man, all open and covered in magical script, glowing with multicolored magical light. The Energy Transformation golden runes formed several concentric rings around the man's body.
"Correction correct."
The man spoke calmly, flicking his finger. The pages of one of the books suddenly flipped, and the portal behind him shrank to a dot in the blink of an eye before disappearing, revealing a highly skilled magic master.
Suddenly, the bulkhead in front of the two men burst open, and dozens of beams of dazzling purple light with curved arcs shot out from Kernid's hands in the cockpit, piercing through layers of walls and attacking the two uninvited guests.
Knowing the strength of his two Pursuit, he attacked first.
Boom!!
In a flash, the man changed his gesture, and all the books began to flip at the same time. A circle of azure magic shield enveloped him and the woman beside him, isolating them from all attacks. All the purple arcs of light exploded into a sky full of light fragments, unable to shake the shield in the slightest.
Kernid swiftly passed through the cave entrance, his rune armor glowing with overlapping lights and shadows. Countless magical powers gathered on his body, like a colorful stream of light, crashing heavily onto the azure magic shield.
Having already learned his lesson, he knew that competing with his opponent in ranged magic would be utterly humiliating, so he switched to melee combat as soon as they met.
All of Kernid's power was concentrated into a single point, with no energy dissipation. His control was extremely refined. If an ordinary Grade A superhuman were to face this attack, they would generally choose to avoid its edge and not dare to confront it head-on. However, he had little confidence in facing two unfathomable and mysterious enemies.
Thump--
The sound was like the striking of a bell. The azure magic shield withstood the blow and shattered, turning into countless energy fragments like shards of glass.
"It works!" Kernid was overjoyed, his confidence instantly restored.
However, the next moment, he saw the burst of light illuminate the masks of the man and woman, whose eyes were calm and indifferent, seemingly unmoved by his full-force attack.
The next instant, the countless fragments of the magic shield suddenly paused, then instantly merged, transforming into a brilliant blue-white pillar of light that slammed into Kernid, amplifying the power that had been neutralized when he attacked the magic shield earlier. It was as if he were facing his own attack.
Kernid's remaining offensive was interrupted, and he was sent flying. Suppressing the pain from his injuries, he asked in astonishment:
"What kind of secret technique is this?"
A single protective spell could withstand the full force of his attack, a powerful attack from a seasoned Calamity Grade. Not only was the caster unharmed, but it also reflected all the power back. The effect sounds simple, but at their level, the more brutal and simple the spell, the more terrifying it is. Unlike those spells that rely on layers of magical shields for "quantitative change," this spell is powerful in "quality."
"Original."
The man's words were concise, yet they made Kernid's eyes widen in disbelief.
Just then, the woman beside her also made a move, raising her right hand and clenching it into a fist.
Click click click--
The metal twisted, and the entire spaceship emitted a piercing tearing sound.
The next moment, the spaceship was like a giant hand squeezing it into a ball of paper, turning it into an irregular sphere.
Rumble--
A large amount of oxygen leaked, causing the spacecraft's fuel tanks and engines to explode.
Sparks flew everywhere as the sphere exploded, instantly disintegrating and sending various parts flying.
In just a few seconds, a spaceship turned into space debris floating in space.
A spherical magical shield protected the man and woman, suspending them in space. Not far away, Kernid's runic armor also flickered with an unpredictable shield light.
The recent spaceship explosion worsened Kernid's injuries, and his rune armor was on the verge of collapse.
With the spaceship gone and nowhere to escape, despair filled Kernid's eyes.
Inside the oxygen-filled magic shield, the woman waved her arm.
All the surrounding metal debris converged again, trapping Kernid in the center and turning him into a giant sphere once more. It was as if every inch of his surface was under immense pressure, constantly being squeezed inward. The metal sphere slowly shrank, its irregular shape gradually becoming rounder, and its density increasing.
At first, there were sounds of resistance inside the sphere, but gradually the struggles became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no sound.
"Deep Purple Sorcerer Kernid, captured."
The woman spoke coldly.
The man took out his communicator, opened a list, crossed out Kernid's name, and pondered, "Shana, who should we target next?"
Shana was the woman's name. She glanced at him, pointed, and said, "Him. The commander of the Black Star Army."
"Hmm, he only joined the list a year ago, and his power has grown very quickly. If it weren't for that, we might not have paid attention to him... By the way, this guy is a bit special; he has the nickname 'Undying Body,' and seems quite troublesome. If we want to deal with him, we should lure him to a suitable place and isolate him. This will require sufficient preparation time. We also need to bring Kernid back. Perhaps we should change our target."
"No need. We'll split up. You take the people back, and I'll deal with Black Star."
Shana said calmly, "The data shows that he only entered the field of Calamity Grade two or three years ago. Besides, he's a mechanic. I can handle him on my own."
The man paused, then chuckled, "I almost forgot. Your abilities counter the Mechanic. Alright, I'll go back and complete the mission. You can catch him on your way. Looks like we've had a pretty good haul this time."
As for the relationship between Black Star and Dragon Emperor, neither of them mentioned it once, showing no concern whatsoever.
