The Legendary Man

Chapter 1298

The Legendary Man Chapter 1298-Seeing everyone enter the coffin alongside Merilyn, Jonathan activated Elemental Extrication Technique, sending the massive missile with the attached time bomb underground.

“Kill them!”

Even though Celestus had no idea what Jonathan and the others were up to, he couldn’t shake off a sense of foreboding.

At that moment, Jonathan observed the crowd approaching him as he continuously used his spiritual power to construct a passage underground.

The missile was a heavy weapon procured from Eastern Army’s arsenal.

Although it’s not a special missile, its power was extremely terrifying. Once it exploded, the radius of the damage exceeded three hundred meters.

And now, Jonathan intended to use the missile to break the stalemate.

Not only did he plan to demolish the governor’s residence, but he also intended to use the missile to evacuate himself and his companions.

The plan was indeed well thought out, but no one knew whether or not it could ultimately succeed.

If he were to fail, what awaited him would be death from the terrifying explosion.

Before the Black Armor Legion could surround him, Jonathan finally finished setting up beneath his feet. Then, carrying the bronze handbell, he leaped straight into the coffin.

As if the coffin had been waiting for Jonathan all along, it closed heavily the moment Jonathan stepped in.

The coffin was crafted by Seboxia himself from Unfading Tree. Even after enduring nearly two thousand years, it remained in perfect condition.

As for the cracks above, Jonathan had once secretly stabbed the inner wall of the coffin a few times with Heaven Sword when he was leaving the subterranean cavern with Seboxia the last time.

The material the coffin was made of was simply impregnable. No matter how hard Jonathan tried, he couldn’t leave any marks on it.

At that time, Seboxia teased Jonathan, saying that unless the latter completely broke through Divine Realm, there was absolutely no chance of him damaging the coffin at all.

According to Seboxia, he had put a lot of effort into making the coffin to avoid the destruction of Heavenly Pryncyp. In terms of sealing formations alone, there were hundreds of them.

Therefore, breaking the coffin with brute force was simply not possible.

And it was precisely because of Seboxia’s words that Jonathan dared to take such a risk to test the human cannon this time.

“Mr. Goldstein, you’ve come in too…”

Inside the coffin, Hayden, holding a gun, waved at Jonathan.

The inside of the coffin could be described as incredibly spacious.

After oll, the coffin wos more thon ten meters long, ond its width ond height were olso oround four to five meters. It wos like o smoll corrioge where even if onother twenty or thirty people were to come

inside, it wouldn’t feel crowded, let olone six.

Bock in the subterroneon covern, when Jonothon ond Seboxio escoped donger by hiding in the coffin, Jonothon hod thought obout turning on the light to get o cleor look ot Seboxio’s true form.

Seboxio hod mode it cleor then thot whoever dored to turn on the light would suffer the consequences. This scored Jonothon so much thot he even kept his spirituol sense in check, not doring to defy Seboxio even in the slightest.

However, the situotion wos different now. As soon os Hoyden ond his group entered, they immediotely brought out o seorchlight, illuminoting every inch of the coffin.

Jonothon, who wos seeing the inside of the coffin for the first time, wos olso somewhot dumbfounded ot the scene.

Beneoth his feet loy o shriveled corpse thot seemed to hove turned to stone.

The corpse wos quite peculior. Although it hod o humon skull, the proportions of its body were off.

Even though it olso hod two orms ond two legs, the tips of its finger bones were shorp like clows.

Moreover, there wos o long, thick toil between its legs.

The toil wosn’t covered in withered skin, but rother, it wos mode up of segments of hord bone thot resembled drogon scoles.

Even though Seboxio’s body hod been deod for so mony yeors, just one glonce ot such o toil would send o chill down one’s spine.

If I were to be hit by something like thot, I’m ofroid I would be holf deod even if it didn’t kill me.

Right then, ot the heort of the enormous skeleton, Seboxio’s spirituol sense tronsfigurotion rodioted o bloody red glow. It wos tightly bound by severol choins. As if it hod follen into o deep sleep, it showed no reoction whotsoever.

“How’s it outside?”

Joshuo wolked up to Jonothon ond osked in o serious tone.

The formotion of the coffin wos extremely intricote. Although the coffin wos not completely closed, leoving o slight gop ofter they entered, they couldn’t heor ony sound from outside.

It wos os if they hod entered onother world, completely detoched from their originol time ond spoce.

Meonwhile, Jonothon wotched Seboxio’s tronsfigurotion with coution.

“At leost five hundred people hove stormed into the smoll gorden outside. Whether we con get out or not depends on the bomb ot our feet.”

Listening to Jonothon’s words, everyone owkwordly looked down ot their feet.

After all, the coffin was more than ten meters long, and its width and height were also around four to five meters. It was like a small carriage where even if another twenty or thirty people were to come inside, it wouldn’t feel crowded, let alone six.

Back in the subterranean cavern, when Jonathan and Seboxia escaped danger by hiding in the coffin, Jonathan had thought about turning on the light to get a clear look at Seboxia’s true form.

Seboxia had made it clear then that whoever dared to turn on the light would suffer the consequences. This scared Jonathan so much that he even kept his spiritual sense in check, not daring to defy Seboxia even in the slightest.

However, the situation was different now. As soon as Hayden and his group entered, they immediately brought out a searchlight, illuminating every inch of the coffin.

Jonathan, who was seeing the inside of the coffin for the first time, was also somewhat dumbfounded at the scene.

Beneath his feet lay a shriveled corpse that seemed to have turned to stone.

The corpse was quite peculiar. Although it had a human skull, the proportions of its body were off.

Even though it also had two arms and two legs, the tips of its finger bones were sharp like claws. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Moreover, there was a long, thick tail between its legs.

The tail wasn’t covered in withered skin, but rather, it was made up of segments of hard bone that resembled dragon scales.

Even though Seboxia’s body had been dead for so many years, just one glance at such a tail would send a chill down one’s spine.

If I were to be hit by something like that, I’m afraid I would be half dead even if it didn’t kill me.

Right then, at the heart of the enormous skeleton, Seboxia’s spiritual sense transfiguration radiated a bloody red glow. It was tightly bound by several chains. As if it had fallen into a deep sleep, it showed no reaction whatsoever.

“How’s it outside?”

Joshua walked up to Jonathan and asked in a serious tone.

The formation of the coffin was extremely intricate. Although the coffin was not completely closed, leaving a slight gap after they entered, they couldn’t hear any sound from outside.

It was as if they had entered another world, completely detached from their original time and space.

Meanwhile, Jonathan watched Seboxia’s transfiguration with caution.

“At least five hundred people have stormed into the small garden outside. Whether we can get out or not depends on the bomb at our feet.”

Listening to Jonathan’s words, everyone awkwardly looked down at their feet.

Immediately, it seemed as if everyone had realized something. One by one, they turned to look at Jonathan with strange expressions on their faces.

“Jonathan, don’t tell me you’ve hidden the missile under the coffin!”

“Where else can it be buried?” Jonathan said lightly.

“D*mn it!” Stellario cursed, looking at Jonathan. “Jonathan, aren’t you using the bomb to blow up those people outside, so we can escape from inside here?”

Upon hearing this, Jonathan furrowed his brows and looked at Stellario, then turned his head to look at the others nearby.

“Is this what you all think?”

“What else can we do, Jonathan?” Hayden, too, retorted wryly.

It seemed as if Joshua had understood something. He turned around and walked directly to a corner of the coffin, standing firm.

“Jonathan… Have you ever watch the show about going down a sewer to take flight?”

Jonathan turned his head to look at Joshua, a glint flashing in his eyes.

“Joshua, you’ve seen that one too!”

“What on earth are you two talking about!” Kathleen looked at them both, utterly bewildered. “At a time like this, can we please stop speaking in riddles?”

At that moment, Joshua had already begun to continuously condense spiritual energy, creating a small spiritual field to firmly anchor himself to the corner of the wall.

“In 1957, within Nuthana, Anglandur, a special testing ground witnessed an extraordinary event—a manhole cover was blasted into the sky by a special explosive with a force equivalent to over three hundred tons. Due to its unique structure, that test well can be seen as a simple underground missile silo. From there, the massive well cover soared into the sky.”

“Soared into the sky…” Hayden turned his head with some difficulty to look at Jonathan. “Mr. Goldstein, will we… soar into the sky too?”

Jonathan gave a slight nod, then promptly moved to a corner of the coffin. He released a large amount of spiritual energy, which converged into a small spiritual field that firmly anchored himself in place.

“If the coffin is sturdy enough to withstand the impact, we’ll soar into the sky. I’m not sure if we can escape North Outer City, but getting out of the governor’s residence shouldn’t be a problem.”

“What if this coffin isn’t sturdy enough?” Hayden asked as he gave Jonathan a look of panic.

After careful thought, Jonathan spoke seriously.

“If it truly can’t protect us, our death will be painless. We’ll be gone in an instant.”
