Chapter 683: Seven against countless enemies?
Kyle stopped in mid-air as they arrived at the threshold of the shadowy expanse. A smirk crept across his lips as he detected many demons and individuals from the dark side covertly
lurking in the vicinity ahead.
"Seven against countless enemies? It sounds tough, but I'm confident we can defeat them all. You know why? Because I'm in the mood to cause chaos."
His eyes sparkled with excitement. He chuckled when his eyes caught sight of a colossal, rectangular prism in the midst of the dark area before him. It was the object that was drawing in divine energy from the air, transforming it into dark energy, and then dispersing it into the atmosphere.
"So, that's the device they're using to saturate the air with dark energy? Quite impressive, I must say."
Kyle glanced at Bia as she left his shoulder and transformed into her phoenix form.
"Your main target is that prism. Destroy it the instant you get the opportunity."
Bia nodded and gazed towards the distant location where dark energy was emanating from the top of the colossal prism.
Kyle tightened his grip on his spear.
"I will handle the transcendent ranks. Old Hal and Ronan, you two take care of the supreme ranks. Ned, Vexana, and Wesley, it's on you three to handle the rest."
The three supreme ranks nodded in agreement, although Vexana and Ned were reluctant, they had no other option but to comply, given how far they had come.
Strangely, the area before them remained eerily silent, almost as if beckoning them to step into the darkness. But before anyone could move, Kyle raised his spear.
"I can sense traps. Let me start the battle."
The spear's body gleamed as Kyle infused it with spiritual energy. Its tip sparkled with a powerful force, and swirling wind currents encircled its form, causing the surrounding air to tremble intensely.
He whispered the last move of the spear art Hubert had taught to him.
"Whirlwind Cataclysm."
Just as the energy within the spear was about to erupt, he hurled it into the space ahead with all his might. Old Hal, Ronan, and Wesley's eyes narrowed as the spear sliced through the silence. The instant it plunged into the ground, a destructive whirlwind burst forth from its
core.
The whirlwind unleashed by the spear immediately enveloped a vast radius and started causing chaos for everything and everyone caught within its path.
The people from the dark side who were hiding in the vicinity, waiting for Kyle and his group to step into the traps they had set up, all cried out and swiftly attempted to flee from the furious whirlwind. In that chaos, Kyle's voice echoed in the air.
"Now, attack!"
Upon hearing his voice, everyone turned towards his location, but he had already disappeared. Bia's eyes narrowed as she gazed at the prism in the distance.
"That's my target! Let's go!"
She flapped her wings, and golden flames danced around her body as she swiftly made her way into the dark area.
At that moment, a supreme rank from the nightkin race emerged from the chaos and hurriedly extinguished the whirlwind. His crimson eyes quivered with anger.
"You bunch of useless fools! All you had to do was to lead the nature's favorite and the individuals with him into the traps, but you can't even manage that!? Now stop hiding and attack the enemies!"
Even though he was angry and yelling, deep down, he was actually freaking out!
He had confirmed, just like many others, how easily the nature's favorite had taken down the third shadow general. Now, that very nature's favorite had come to battle him, how could he not panic!? His ghostly pale skin turned even paler, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
'Those useless shadow generals! Why do I have to face an enemy they created!? I was enjoying a life of luxury in this land! My peace has been shattered!'
His eyes dilated, and he disappeared from his spot when Old Hal attacked him. In an instant, a fierce battle erupted in the sky between the two supreme ranks.
Countless transcendent ranks and divine ranks from the dark side flew out from the distance, with another supreme rank from the dark race flying before them. The man flapped his bat- like wings and shouted at the numerous people behind him.
"Attack! End them! We outnumber them, and together we can easily defeat them-!"
His speech got interrupted when he saw a kick coming for his jaw. He hurriedly flew back, but Kyle reappeared behind him and landed a solid blow on his back, causing him to lose his balance in mid-air.
The man let out a surprised cry, but just as he was about to regain his balance, Renon tightly seized his collar and flung his body skyward with a wicked smirk.
"You are my opponent!"
Ronan disappeared behind him, and the two began fighting under the dark sky.
The air crackled when the dark energy clashed with divine and spiritual energy, forming a stunning display of light sparks flashing through the dark curtain.
Kyle's silhouette streaked through one place after another as he began to kill all the transcendent ranks within his reach.
Wesley, Ned, and Vexana joined him. They were surprised when the people from the dark side started to scatter upon noticing that the two supreme ranks on their side were losing their battles in the sky.
Wesley glanced at Kyle's figure, who suddenly landed next to his spear and yanked it out of the ground.
"And here we all thought it would be a difficult battle for the seven of us against so many... but at this pace, I believe we can crush the dark side on the Sacred Divine Land within just a
single day."
He shook his head as a horde of people charged at him. A powerful force erupted from his body, sending them all flying.
Wesley quickly eliminated the closest individuals before deftly navigating the area to avoid being surrounded by the multitude of people simultaneously.
Witnessing the enemies fleeing, Ned and Vexana, too, grew confident. Their fighting style became fiercer and bolder.
Kyle disappeared from his spot and materialized among a sea of divine and transcendent rank individuals. Instantly, the air around him trembled. His eyes turned completely white as the time in his vicinity slowed down under his control, causing everyone around him to slow
down.
His lips curled into a content smile as he employed instant teleportation numerous times to travel at a speed rivaling that of a peak supreme rank.
Kyle hadn't learned a lot about the natural time law, because the information Old Hal gave him was kinda useless.
Currently, he could only tweak the time in his surroundings to slow down everything for a few seconds. However, he was confident he was making progress.
Blood splattered through the air, echoing cries filled the scene as his spear pierced the bodies of many. Kyle wrinkled his nose in annoyance when he had to take the time to detach the souls from the bodies of the people he was eliminating.
The flow of time around him resumed its usual rhythm as he paused at a distance, his spear deeply embedded in the body of a transcendent rank demon who was looking at him with
terror-stricken eyes.
Kyle kicked the man away.
"That wasn't bad. This time I managed to slow down time for five seconds."
He glanced at the individuals who were still alive flying around him. However, instead of facing him in combat, they all scattered in different directions to flee. He clicked his tongue and vanished behind them. There was no way he would let them escape!
Wesley, who had just seen Kyle manipulate the natural law of time yet again in a single day,
took a deep breath.
"He's getting better..."
He murmured and vanished from his spot as a transcendent rank attempted to strike his left shoulder with an artifact.
The old elf used his most powerful skill and destroyed a large area beneath him, causing the demise of many people in the process.
The air quivered with the echoes of battle and myriad cries. The dark sky started to adopt a crimson tint due to the amount of blood flowing beneath it.
Those from the dark side were plummeting at an astonishing speed, and every time a member of Kyle's group faced danger, he stepped in to clear their surroundings.
At the same time, in the distance, silently flying above the rectangular prism, Bia's eyebrow
twitched at the scene.
The phoenix couldn't believe how chaos had erupted in the area so effortlessly.
After Old Hal started battling one of the supreme ranks, she took an alternate route to head
straight for the rectangular prism to destroy it since Kyle gave her that job. She was fully
prepared to confront anyone who tried to impede her progress! However, not a single individual came to fight her, let alone stop her!
All of them were focused on Kyle and the others! Her imposing, majestic, and massive presence was ignored just like that!?
-"Are the people from the dark side blind? Or do they simply not care about this prism!?"
She fixed her solemn gaze on the prism and employed her golden flames upon it. -"Those bastards from the dark side! How dare they overlook my majestic presence! I will obliterate you to quell my fury!"
The prism quivered as the phoenix screeched and began assaulting it from every angle.
