The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1204

As Stellario spoke, he saw Jonathan sinking into the ground.

His eyes widened while staring at his feet. “You know how to execute Earthly Escape?”

“A little,” replied Jonathan as his descent into the earth continued. “I don’t think those bugs know how to do this.”

Stellario glowered at Jonathan, who sank into the ground with an innocent expression. “If you know how to do that, why did you come back and mess with me?”

In response, Jonathan shrugged. “There’s still a few hundred meters before they arrive. Instead of wasting your time on complaints, you should start running.”

Stellario shifted his attention to the rapidly approaching cloud of bugs. The anxiety in his eyes slowly calmed down.

“I’m open to the idea of collaborating, but you need to return my knife first,” demanded Stellario as he stretched his hand toward Jonathan.

While that blade wasn’t a magical item, it was something that had been passed down in the Mallory family for a thousand years.

It was the symbol of the head of the Mallory family.

Stellario wouldn’t be able to explain himself if he returned to the Mallory family without the dagger Jonathan stole from him.

If someone learned of his blunder, it would be detrimental to him, especially because he was the future head of the Mallory family.

From his perspective, his request wasn’t outrageous. Thus, he believed Jonathan would return the dagger to him.

However, he underestimated Jonathan’s tactic.

“You don’t have the right to negotiate with me. Since you aren’t willing to work with me, you’ll die here.” Jonathan then submerged into the ground without hesitation.

“Huh? Don’t push it, Jonathan! I’m a God Realm cultivator! I’m more important than a useless dagger! Hey! Come out! If you don’t save me, I really am going to die!” Stellario stomped on the ground, trying to summon Jonathan.

However, he received no response from the solid ground.

As he glanced at the cloud of bugs dozens of meters away, he gritted his teeth. “Fine! I promise to be your subordinate until we leave this small world!”

Then, he planted his butt down on where he stood. “That’s all I have to say! It’s up to you to decide whether you’ll save me or not!”

He slowly closed his eyes as he watched the cloud of bugs rushing toward him.

The buzzing of the black bugs grew louder rapidly, so much so that it gave Stellario a goosebump.

Just as the bugs were about to attack Stellario, the ground underneath him suddenly collapsed.

“What the—” Stellario promptly widened his eyes at the shrinking light above his head.

While he had dropped deeper into the hole, the bugs above him weren’t halting their chase after him.

Countless insects flooded into the hole and toward Stellario.

“Seal the hole, Jonathan! Quickly!” exclaimed Stellario as he fell.

A moment later, the vertical path above him was sealed shut, like someone twisting a cylindrical cone tightly.

The swarm of insects that poured into the ground was killed as the last glimmer of light above them was extinguished. Meanwhile, Stellario dropped onto a cushiony spiritual energy.
