'Thud'
After receiving a powerful punch from the second demon apostle, Ajax fell back a few kilometers and all the bones in his body were shattered.
Because of that, the golden demon apostles concluded that Ajax was dead.
Nevertheless, a system notification rang in his head the moment he was about to die.
'Ding,
The host's skill 'Emergency ghost' is triggered. The host will be revived; however, he can't fight for the next couple of hours.
'Huf'
Ajax gasped for air; however, he didn't bother to make any movements in order not to attract the attention of the two demon apostles.
'It looks like I can't defeat them.'
At that moment, Ajax had a realization that made him give up on his thought of continuing the bonus mission.
'I am alive, just stall for a few minutes by acting like I was dead.'
After coming to that conclusion, Ajax informed all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and asked them to act and stall for some time.
"Summoning master."
"Master."
Once they received the orders from Ajax, all the summons rushed towards Ajax and started acting as though Ajax was really dead.
'Damn…if I didn't know they were acting I would have been fooled easily.'
Looking at the worried looks on the faces of his summons, Ajax could not but marvel at their acting.
'I asked them to act but they were living in their roles. Good, I can now complete my other mission.'
Without wasting any time, Ajax entered the core realm of the mutated bronze demon world.
That's right! Since he didn't want to continue the bonus mission, Ajax planned to retrieve the world core and complete his other mission 'Save the Elemental Spirit World'.
'Swoosh'
Since Ajax became a pro at retrieving the smaller world cores from the core realms, it only took a single minute for Ajax to retrieve the world core.
'Ding,
The host retrieved the smaller world core of the Mutated Bronze Demon World.
'Ding,
The world will be destroyed in 10 minutes. Please leave the world within 10 minutes.
As soon as he retrieved the world cores, the default system notifications rang in his head.
'Huh? 10 minutes?'
Ajax frowned when he saw the time limit for the world to get destroyed.
Previously, whenever he retrieved a smaller world core, it only took five minutes for the world to get destroyed; however, the system informed him that it would take double the time of the regular smaller world.
'The world is already shaking because of the two mid-level demon emperors. Even though it was a mutated bronze demon world, it should be destroyed sooner right?'
Ajax thought to himself; however, he didn't ask the system because it could not answer his questions anyway because it was still under an upgrade.
'Sigh…I need to stall them for 10 minutes then.'
Ajax felt stalling the second-order golden demons for 5 minutes was already a big problem for him; however, now, he had to stall them for 10 minutes.
'Sigh…I will try my best to stall as much time as possible.'
Actually, he was planning to kill the two second-order demon apostles by destroying the mutated bronze demon world; however, if those demon apostles sensed that something was wrong, they might escape.
So, he sighed; however, he was determined to do his best.
'Ding,
The host has successfully completed the mission 'Save the elemental spirit world'.
'Ding,
The host is rewarded with the following items:
1) A smaller world core.
2) An additional slot for an official contract with an elemental spirit.
3) A Greater world ticket.
As Ajax was in his thoughts, he received a couple of system notifications informing him about the mission accomplishment and the rewards he gained from the mission.
'Woah. The rewards look exciting.'
Looking at the three rewards, Ajax could not help but revealed an excited smile on his face.
Even though a smaller world core was not a valuable reward for Ajax anymore, he was still satisfied with it because it would save him one day's time in collecting the world core.
As for the other two rewards, they were what made Ajax truly excited.
An additional official contract with an elemental spirit means an additional official skill. Which summoner didn't want an extra official skill?
As for the last reward, Ajax wanted to enter a Greater world from the time he learned about the world classification. Because his chances of finding the plant essence, Sacred Energy, Astral Energy are much higher in the Greater world.
'Since I will be getting one official skill and the demonic skill from the bonus mission, there is no need to risk my life anymore. If they try to kill me, I will just leave this world without stalling them.'
With that thought in his mind, Ajax silently left the core realm and returned to his body; however, he didn't move his body.
'Yeah…continue wasting more and more time.'
Even though he didn't open his eyes, Ajax was listening to the conversation between the two demon apostles, making him excited.
Because, the more time they waste, the less time he needs to stall them.
Time continued to pass and in flash, the demon apostles wasted more than six minutes in their conversation of making Alder their scapegoat.
"Kill all his summons now."
After hearing the first demon apostle's words, the second demon apostle flew toward Ajax's summons who were currently surrounding Ajax.
'Swoosh'
Finally, Ajax moved his body and started stalling the time on his own.
He was successful in wasting another three minutes by acting like he was surrendering to them.
"Sorry, but you can't torture me anymore, because I am leaving this world and you are dying with the world."
When the demon apostles decided not to hear his words anymore, Ajax waved at them and muttered, 'I wish to return to my dwarf world.'
Among all his worlds, the normal dwarf world allowed him to return with a single thought because the dwarves didn't have any strength. So, if they were in danger, as the Emperor of that world, he should be able to teleport directly to that world.
'Boom'
