Level Up Legacy Chapter 1314 No One

Chapter 1314 No One

Inside the Lesser Blood Ocean and atop the ship that once ruled it, a wrathful storm was brewing. After Eros escaped with his lackey, the wrath found no outlet. In the end, it chose the world as its target as the destruction began. Everything in close proximity was turned to nothingness. The skies howled as a giant dome of black lightning appeared in the middle of the ocean.
The waves were harsh, enough to topple the biggest ships as the ocean turned uneasy. As the storm brewed and brought down destruction, the eclipse remained, preventing the world from resuming its life.
A distance away from the storm, a young man was sitting inside the forests of Sourna. These had appeared after the merge, causing the kingdom to experience a great influx of monsters and new awakeners. This young man, however, was not alone.
"I still can't use my powers," said a small fairy floating next to the man. "Are you sure that it's your brother?" asked the fairy as she turned to the young man.
"This is the same feeling that I had when I stopped him before," said the young man, whose green eyes shone with a dangerous light. "However, we can't use the teleportation runes card we have. There is no way for me to reach him, but I know who can help me."
"Please be careful, Oren," said the small fairy with worry as she looked at the angry sky gathering atop the forest. "I know that he is your brother, but I'm scared."
"Even if he hurts me, I need to go," said Oren as he took out a phone from his pocket. Although there were no signal towers within hundreds of kilometers, his phone worked just fine. Its back had the two letters NR, referring to the military company Nightroad.
This phone was given to him by Selena before they parted ways. After the merge, she had to return to her father's company, which had built a military fortress in the new world. Her father had been injured in a battle, and she needed to return to see him. Before she did, Selena gave him this phone, which could use satellites to communicate.
"Oren? Is everything alright?" asked a voice through the phone after the call connected, making him smile in nostalgia.
"Does something have to be wrong for me to call my girlfriend?" asked Oren with a hurt tone, making Selena pause. "I just missed you. That's all."
"In the middle of this Runes Outage? Cut me some slack, Oren. I know that something is wrong. You don't need to act tough with me. What's wrong?" asked Selena from the other line, even more worried than Oren expected. However, her reaction was normal given the circumstances.
Runes had stopped working throughout the world, and abilities were no different. Selena knew that Oren was training inside a forest full of monsters, leveling up using the legacy that his brother created. However, even the legacy had stopped working now, making his whereabouts dangerous.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm safe, but I think I know the reason behind the outage. My brother must have lost control again. I need a way to get there before he hurts himself," said Oren with a frown. "Can you work something out?"
"That means you already know it was him. I can… but I don't know if I should," said Selena from the other line. "Our company has located the source of the anomaly that caused the outage, and we obtained footage of the fight that ensued once it began."
"You already knew it was my brother but didn't tell me?" asked Oren, his tone a little cold this time. "How could you do that to me?"
"Oren, I care about you more than I care about the rest of the world," said Selena through the phone. "Once I saw the footage of your brother's fight picked up by our satellites, I knew that you would want to intervene, and I knew that I needed to prevent you."
"Send me the footage."
Selena was silent, but the call suddenly turned to a screen-sharing function. Oren looked at the phone and saw a video playing of a pirate ship in the ocean. Atop the ship stood a group of people that he did not recognize. The ship split in half, and his brother entered the scene, killing countless pirates onboard.
The battle did not last more than three minutes, but it would leave anyone watching sick to their stomach. His brother dismembered the man who could regenerate without mercy. He killed anyone who stood in his path, and he did it with ease.
The footage then ended with the two men escaping through a portal, and his brother losing control. Then, his brother's wrath erupted and engulfed the world, turning into a dome in the middle of the ocean. That was the end of the footage.
"I know why you hid it from me, but I am going to go, swimming if I have to," said Oren as he rose from his seat. "You know that I embarked on this journey to find a way to prevent this from happening again. You cannot stop me, Selena."
"…then let me help you," Selena said after a pause. "I will send an aircraft to your location. It should take twenty minutes to arrive. But I am also sending our battle fleet to help you in the fight."
"There will be no fight," said Oren with a frown. "And how would the battle fleet help me?"
"In case you fail to calm him down..."
"No one," said Oren while gnashing his teeth together. "No one is allowed to hurt my brother, Selena. If a single bullet is fired his way, I will kill your men with my own hands."
"I understand," said Selena after a pause. Her voice was fearful, as she had never seen Oren lose his composure before. "The aircraft is on its way to take you there."
"I'm sorry for lashing out," said Oren before he ended the call. Then, he dropped back to the floor, holding his head. His eyes were toward the eclipse, and his hand clenched his wrathful heart. Then, he took a deep breath.
