A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 2092

Chapter 2092 Rankster!

The teleportation failed, and the four of them were left where they were.

“It’s an anti-magic spell formation. It seems like he is well-prepared to keep us here.”

Irina frowned. She waved her hand and formed a magical shield between them and the attacking ancient corpses.

“Follow me. Let’s get out of here first.” Mag pressed the SOS button in his pocket, and the longsword flew back to his hand, rushing right into the cave.

Countless ancient corpses surged out from the cave. However, they were no match for the Tian Du sword as it made a path through the wave of corpses.

Merante protected Noya, who was hugging the Buddha jumps over the wall tightly, as they followed behind Mag, handling the ancient corpses which sprung an attack on them from the cliff.

Irina took care of the back with her magic caster’s staff. The Holy Light was just like a magical weapon in the narrow passageway, wiping out everything in the way.

However, the cave started shaking vigorously halfway through, and the ceiling started collapsing. “From the top!”

With a shout, Mag and the Tian Du sword merged as one, and they spiraled upwards.

The everlasting ice became as weak as tofu in front of the Tian Du sword. A pathway wide enough for a person was forcefully made, and soon light pierced through the ice.

Bam!

The ice plain exploded, and a large hole was formed.

Mag pierced through the ice with Tian Du sword in his hand.

Before he could even heave a sigh of relief, a dark shadow dashed over.

Mag wielded his sword subconsciously.

Ding!

The sound of stone and metal colliding rang loudly, making his eardrums hurt.

Mag felt as though he was hit by a sprinting train, and he flew back uncontrollably. He turned in midair and stabbed the longsword into the ice to stabilize himself after flying 100 meters away.

That black shadow rushed towards him once again. A black spear gleamed, and black armor was completely new. His face was expressionless and his gaze was rather empty, with a hint of redness in his eyes.

Mag stood up with his sword in his hand, looking at that familiar face with mixed feelings. Mag did not expect to meet Rankster, who had gone missing, here. Rankster appeared in front of him immediately, and launched his attack.

Mag, who was prepared, did not end up in a sorry state as before. However, he still took a few steps back.

Rankster was also sent flying with a single blow. The spear was pierced into the ground, and he came to a stop after tens of meters.

“Powerful!” Noya exclaimed.

Merante and Irina were also stunned.

There was no doubting Mag’s powers. He had already exceeded the limit of the 10th-tier. Although he could not be considered a god, he was still not somewhere a 10th-tier could go close to.

However, Rankster was able to fight it out with him without falling short, and that showed how strong he was.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

At the same time, the surface of the ice shattered. The ancient corpses started crawling out, covering the entire plain, and rushing towards Merante and the rest.

Mag blew a long whistle.

Howl…

Ah Zi flew over from afar, and spat out a lightning ball, wiping out an entire patch of ancient corpses as it flew towards Irina. Rankster fixed his gaze on the purple-striped griffin. He raised the spear in his hand and aimed at Ah Zi.

“I am your opponent!” Mag shouted. He waved his hand, and Tian Du sword transformed into a flash of light as it flew towards Rankster, targeting his heart.

Rankster looked away. He retracted his spear, and aimed it towards the Tian Du sword which was flying toward him. The longsword was deflected, but Mag managed to catch it as he dashed towards Rankster once again.

The two weapons clashed. “Go up!” Irina threw Noya up the purple-striped griffin as Merante jumped on the griffin’s back as well.

The purple-striped griffin quickly rose to the sky, dodging the stone axes thrown at them by a giant. At the same time, it spat out a string of lightning balls, striking that giant and turning it into a pile of stones.

“Why is there so much of this stuff!” Noya said with a tremble in his voice as he looked at the plain full of ancient corpses.

Even though he was sitting on the griffin’s back, tens of thousands of meters above(1), he still could not see the end of the mob.

“I’m afraid Josh has already met up with the devil that has escaped from the seal,” Irina said with a frown.

“The moment these ancient corpses go down south, the Norland Continent might face a horrifying catastrophe.” Merante’s voice was also trembling.

“Let’s clear the ancient corpses around first to lighten his load.” Irina quickly looked away. She sang a magical chant, and used the Holy Light Technique to wipe out some of the ancient corpses that were trying to go close to

Mag.

Merante grabbed a handful of black beans from the pocket at his waist and sprinkled it down. When they landed, they transformed into multiple black ghost-faced assassins, dashing towards the ancient corpses fearlessly.

Noya hugged the Buddha jumps over the wall, and was just being useless throughout the entire journey. Mag and Rankster were almost at the climax of their battle. It was not something that the group could take part in or change.

There were no fancy sword projections or overpowering fighting spirits. The battle between the two had gone back to fighting in its very basic form. A swordsman at his peak versus a spearman at his peak. Each attack was out to kill.

Around them, all seemed calm. However, there were actually countless spatial cracks slit by the sword and spear. Some of the ancient corpses that barged in were cut into minced meat.

Back then, when Alex was in his prime, his only worthy opponent was Rankster.

Mag did not expect that after he broke through the 10th-tier, he would meet Rankster again, and the latter would still be on par with him.

The only difference was that this great powerhouse had already lost his senses, and had become a powerful general controlled by the Great Old Ones.

Mag had mixed feelings. He lamented the loss of a great hero and Elizabeth’s loss of her father.

She had been looking for Rankster, chasing after him in vain.

If she saw Rankster right now, what would she be feeling?

“Rankster! Rankster!” Mag shouted at Rankster, trying to communicate with him.

The red in Rankster’s eyes seemed to flicker a little. However, Rankster quickly fell into a deeper fury and attacked Mag even harder.

Mag’s eyes lit up. There seemed to be a hint of consciousness left in Rankster. He was not completely under control.

As Mag tried to block Rankster’s attack, he continued calling out to him. However, there did not seem to be any obvious effect other than making him even more hysterical.

“Rankster! Elizabeth has been looking for you! Do you want her to see you like this?!” Mag shouted.

Rankster paused in his dash forward. There was a sign of struggle on his face, and his eyes started to change between blue and red.

It’s effective! Mag was elated. After that, he said, “For Elizabeth! For the Frost Dragon tribe! You must wake up! You’re Rankster! The king of the Frost Dragon Tribe, Elizabeth’s father! You’re not a devil!”

“E… li… za…” Rankster uttered with a painful expression. After that, he fell into his hysterical state again, and started attacking Mag.

Mag looked at Rankster with his blood-red eyes, and while he blocked the attacks, he glanced across the sky.

It was apparent that he was unable to wake Rankster up. However, there might be an ancient way. Right now, he could only pin his hopes on Xi to arrive quickly after seeing his message for help. “What’s that?!”

Before Xi even arrived, Noya, who was on the griffin’s back, called out as he pointed towards the north.

The ice on the surface started to shake, and a gel-like organism the size of a hill covered in scales started crawling out from beneath the ice slowly. It raised its large bat wings, covering the sun.
