He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 469. Drawing out

The vampire commander and his subordinates self detonated.

After they self detonated, a cataclysmic explosion spread outwards, causing destruction.

Kailen used umbral replacement to switch places with Feral.

He appeared above the destroyed forest region and summoned Feral into the shadow expanse.

Eyes scanned the destroyed region.

A large portion of the forest regions beyond had been preserved.

But, not even corpses of the vampires remained.

Kailen’s figure flickered, and he disappeared, heading towards the city.

The moment he appeared in the city, the shouts and chants of the citizens kept resounding.

"Red Commander"

"Red Commander"

"Red Commander"

Kailen floated calmly.

"What a cliche epilogue to this simulation.

The citizens chant the hero’s name, just like in novels"

He had managed to execute his role as the Red Commander.

Not only that, he had managed to stay alive.

He could pretty much figure out that the simulation was coming to an end.

Kailen however remained floating above the vast metropolis, full of the chants of the people, for a while.

Just when he was about to think that maybe the simulation had not come to an end, everything around him started to slowly warp.

Very soon, he found himself in a desert looking region in the pocket world.

[Congratulations on completing the third simulation.

Reward obtained: Comprehensive knowledge of Runesmithery, Level 1.

Time to be spent in the pocket world has been increased to 30 days, which will equate to 30 hours in the real world]

Kailen nodded at the rewards.

Kailen stared at the Time Dilation Artifact currently making a snowman with some shadow creatures in the shadow expanse.

"If you feel cheated by the rewards, go fuck yourself"

The Time Dilation Artifact grinned, with her spittle flying all over.

Kailen simply ignored her sarcastic nature.

"Well, through the simulation my strength has improved significantly"

He mused to himself.

Kailen quickly went ahead to assimilate with the comprehensive knowledge of runesmithery, level 1.

His already profound knowledge on runesmithery deepened further, and his understanding of runes became more profound compared to when he had received the comprehensive knowledge of runesmithery level 0.

Kailen nodded with a satisfied expression on his face.

Kailen scanned the desert.

He wanted to know how many days he had left in the pocket world.

He was already aware that the time spent in a simulation was completely different from the normal time designated for him to spend in the pocket world when he was not in a simulation.

Simulation times operated differently.

The Time Dilation Artifact said to him, "Your thirty days time period in the pocket world will start taking effect from the next time you come here. So scram"

Kailen sighed.

He was about to say something when his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the pocket world.

Kailen stood in his room and scanned the place.

It had been just ten hours in the real world, but to him, who had spent several months in the simulation, it felt like he had been away for a long time.

Kailen went through his list of messages.

Major Seth had sent him a message.

****

"Captain Darkhaven, sit"

Major Seth said, not minding his delay.

A hologram projected before him.

"This is an emergency mission"

Kailen nodded and listened as the major continued.

"Several units from different hq bases have been sent to Frontline outpost c34 as a result of a sudden occurrence that weakened the manpower at the outpost a few days ago"

The screen zoomed in.

"A sudden assault from the enemy unknowingly occurred a few days ago.

700 casualties, all at the beginner stage galactic level, a couple numbers at the 7th rank"

Kailen listened calmly, eyes squinted.

The hologram showed the pictures.

It zoomed in.

Kailen observed the dead bodies on screen.

Kailen’s eyes widened.

The major noticed his expression.

"What do you think, Captain"

Kailen replied, "It’s poison. The work of a Black Flask"

A knowing glint subtly flashed through his eyes.

It was her.

She did this to draw Kailen out.

He thought.

The major nodded.

"That’s what the autopsies theorised.

The c34 outpost are aware of your capabilities as a rank 1 Black Flask, and therefore requested back up, specifically you.

They had a Black Flask alchemist stationed there, but she was killed in the mysterious assassination"

Kailen nodded.

It made perfect sense to him that she would do this.

The vimodial contractor Black Flask had killed the Black Flask stationed at the outpost, not because she saw the person as a threat.

She did this to manipulate outcomes.

With no Black Flask present to counter the enemy Black Flask, a known rank 1 Black Flask like him will be sent there, and she could finally get rid of Kailen.

Kailen thought.

Major Seth continued.

"Your mission is to identify the enemy Black Flask responsible for this, and eliminate them without risking the lives of the members of c34.

You will be working alone"

Kailen nodded.

"You depart immediately.

For the sake of urgency, use the spaceship in this storage ring"

The major tossed a spaceship over to Kailen.

"Sir"

Major Seth nodded.

Kailen stood up and left, the holograms behind him going off.

****

A few days later.

"So this is the outpost base c39"

Kailen mused as he stepped into the base.

The base had simple looking structures, and a very lively environment.

Several recruits from different hq bases were moving around in droves.

Kailen quickly headed towards a point where someone was supposed to meet him, the captain of the base.

He followed the directions he had received and headed towards a particular building.

In front of the building, a dwarf with a pot belly and a funny looking face stood there.

However, Kailen noticed the captain had a very fierce expression in his eyes.

Also, from the universe energy radiating from the person, he was a rank 1 intermediate stage galactic level lifeform.

You really couldn’t judge a person by their appearance.

This man was powerful.

The man also stared at Kailen with curiosity and a bit of awe.

This was the legendary captain Darkhaven of HQ base 322.

The youngest captain in the history of the Astral Empire.

Just like the rumors say.

Does not look intimidating, but chilling calm eyes.

This young man was not ordinary.

"Nice to meet you, Captain Darkhaven"

The captain said politely.

"A pleasure to meet you as well Captain?"

"Ah, my manners, Black Flask.

Captain Sonat Buro"

So he’s from the Buro Clan.

Kailen thought.

Kailen nodded with an amiable smile.

The captain led him to his residence, where he would be staying till the end of the mission.

The captain told him to come to him if he needed anything.

He didn’t bother Kailen with useless briefings, as Kailen had already been briefed of the situation here before he came here.

Captain Sonat didn’t bother Kailen with letting a squad assist him for his mission.

He had already been briefed that Black Flask Darkhaven would be working alone.

Kailen finally entered his apartment.

He had a lot to do.
