The elites of every race waited outside Metal World, but after half a month, not a single Marquise emerged. They sent a few more Marquises in to gather information, but none of them returned. The leaders of the various races looked glum.
In the beginning, Nobles below Marquise went in and came out. But now, not a single one of them had come out. It was very confusing.
They weren't in a good mood right now. One hundred Marquise Marquises was nothing to the higher races, but they had sent many of their best Marquise elites to fight for territory. If those elites were to die, it would be a huge blow to the other races.
Han Sen learned how to leave Metal World from the white beast. There were red and blue storms outside Metal World, but it didn't matter if it was a blue storm or a red one. You couldn't leave Metal World.
Every ten times the red and blue storms came, there would be a break between the storms. That was the only time you could leave.
When the Demon and Buddha sent people in, it was during that time that they could leave. Now, they had to wait until the ten red and blue storms came before they could leave Metal World.
Ten red and blue storms would take one and a half months. It would be a long time before they could leave, so Han Sen wasn't in a rush.
In fact, Han Sen was riding on Metal Eater's coattails. He was able to enjoy the metal xenogeneic fluid every day, so he didn't want to leave. He wanted to drink more metal xenogeneic fluid to see if he could level up The Story of Genes to Marquise.
Han Sen went to check out Yuya and the others. They were camping in a cave with the Dragons, Buddha, and Demon. They shouldn't be in any danger, but they were running low on supplies. So, they had been looking for a way out, but they hadn't been able to find anything.
Han Sen didn't go to see them. He stayed in the white Metal Beast's cave and drank the metal xenogeneic fluid. He practiced The Story of Genes faster and waited for the storm to come.
For some reason, the white Metal Beast didn't want to leave Metal Giant God City. Han Sen's hopes of getting it to leave with him were dashed.
Han Sen kept refining the metal xenogeneic fluid. After a month, The Story of Genes finally started to change. It was going to become a Marquise.
"It's finally here."
Han Sen was excited. He had spent a lot of resources on this geno art. He didn't know what kind of power it would have once it became a Marquise.
"I don't know if it will have a new form. If it's just a form change and not a power increase, then the resources this geno art's power isn't worth it. I don't know if there will be a point in me wasting resources," Han Sen thought.
The Spell armor glowed with a holy light. The Spell symbols were as bright as the sun.
Boom!
Han Sen felt his body shake. Spell's armor fell away from his body. It reformed into Spell's body in front of him.
The girl's entire body was shrouded in radiance. Her long hair danced with the radiance like the rays of the sun.
The Spell and Whisper revolvers in the girl's hands also emitted a blazing light, so dazzling that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Han Sen's body's power was like a waterfall. Spell's power resonated with it, and the light of his body grew stronger.
Boom!
Finally, Spell's body erupted like a volcano. She became a scary holy light that shot into the sky. In that holy light, Spell's body floated in the holy light. A mysterious spell symbol appeared on her forehead.
He couldn't understand what the spell symbol meant, though. It shone. It wasn't very bright, but in the midst of that holy light, people could see it clearly.
The holy light that soared into the sky gathered towards the mysterious spell imprinted on her head. Gradually, all the light blended into the spell pattern. The spell pattern did not change at all, but the spell girl had returned to her original appearance.
"Spell's battle body leveled up to Marquise class."
Han Sen's head played the voice of Spell's battle body leveling up. His body was strengthened again, and his strength increased yet again.
With that kind of strength, he was invincible among Marquises. Even the Marquise Dragons couldn't compare to Han Sen in terms of strength.
But what confused Han Sen the most was that Spell didn't take on a new form. There was only a mysterious Spell symbol on her forehead. He didn't know what kind of power that symbol represented.
…
Yuya, Kahn, and the others didn't look good. They had been looking for a way to leave Metal World, but they had all failed.
Their supplies were running low, and it was safe for them to explore while they were in the blue storm. But this time, they encountered a few dragonfly-like metal xenogeneics. They killed them, but a large number of dragonfly-like xenogeneics quickly surrounded them. They chased them all the way back to camp.
They relied on the cave to fight. At first, they were able to hold on, but more and more dragonfly-like xenogeneics were coming. They couldn't hold on much longer.
"D * mn it! We can't hold on any longer. Should we retreat?" a Buddha Marquise screamed. A chunk of his arm had been bitten off.
"Our supplies are all here. Without supplies, we won't be able to survive long. Plus, there are too many xenogeneics. If we split up, we'll die," Yunyi coldly said.
"But if we don't run now, we'll die here. There are too many xenogeneics in the blue storm, and there are many Dukes among them. We can't hold on forever," a Buddha Marquise shouted.
Dragon Eight, Yuya, and the other Marquises were silent. There was no turning back now, and if they couldn't escape Metal World, they'd die.
Everyone kept fighting, and some Marquises couldn't help but rush out of the cave. They wanted to fight their way out.
But the sky was covered with dragonfly-like xenogeneics. There was no way out. No matter where they went, they had to fight until they ran out of energy and were eaten by the xenogeneics.
Dragon Eight roared. He led the Dragons out of the cave. When he saw the situation outside, he felt hopeless. Even with the indestructible gold dragon body, he couldn't fight forever.
Yuya led the Sky Palace students out, too. The result was the same. There were dragonfly-like xenogeneics everywhere, and there was nowhere to run.
Just as everyone was feeling hopeless and ready to fight for their lives, they suddenly felt a strange movement among the xenogeneics.
