Chapter 768: Realm of the Dead III
Ceano's eyes narrowed as he stared at the glowing crimson symbols before Kyle. He had heard what the array masters said to the human; not just him, but the other two shadow generals had heard it as well.
Enthrall's eyes flickered with panic as he tried to comprehend the symbols.
"What is he doing? Don't tell me he somehow found a way to save the seals! We cannot let that happen! I have already informed master; he will be here soon! Go, stop him, you two!"
He remained still and asked Damien and Ceano to go and stop Kyle.
It was wiser to stay away from the source of distress, especially in times of extreme danger, if one wanted to survive!
Ceano gave him a dark glance that conveyed his intention to hack him into many pieces once they were finished here, before vanishing toward Kyle.
Damien closely trailed behind. He didn't dare to look at Enthrall one last time like Ceano, fearing he might lose control at the sight of his face and choke him to death.
However, they were stopped before they could reach Kyle by James and the elders, who stepped away from the crowd.
Deafening, thunderous roars reverberated through the stilled air as the attacks from both sides collided in mid-air, shaking the very ground beneath them to its core.
As each side unleashed their full strength, the land fractured and convulsed violently, while both factions unleashed a torrent of devastating skills at one another, entirely disregarding any restraint or concern for their dwindling energy reserves.
The atmosphere crackled with raw power, creating a chaotic symphony of destruction that echoed for miles.
Ceano gritted his teeth when he was pushed back by Elizabeth and Kurt. Had he become so weak that now he couldn't even handle a few supreme ranks? This was all because he had lost far too many of his fake bodies because of Kyle!
He wanted to tear that human apart; no, he would make him experience true hell if he ever got his hands on him!
Ceano chuckled darkly, and with that, a portion of the space behind him cracked. Another of his bodies stepped out of the rift, rushing toward Kyle. He only needed to disrupt whatever the human was trying to accomplish, and that would be enough!
Suddenly, the sky shuddered as an overwhelming aura erupted from Damien's entire body, as he wielded the natural law of space to assert dominion over the very fabric of reality surrounding him.
His gaze was fixed on Kyle, who was surrounded by a swarm of people as he drew unfamiliar symbols one after another in the air and murmured spells to combine them with the red ones floating before him at a speed that appeared surreal.
With a thunderous clash of his hands, everything within Damien's radius erupted into a deafening cacophony of explosions as he shattered the space.
Ceano seized the split second he gained because of Damien's sudden attack, and the air became impossibly dense under his command, pressing down on all those attempting to escape the area.
James coughed up blood as the compressed space assaulted his body, struggling to remain afloat under pressure that felt like the immense weight of the universe bearing down on him. He cursed when he saw the state of the elders; unlike him, some of them had already
crumpled to the ground, desperately trying to rise.
"Damn it! These bastards..."
He used the natural law of space to help the elders escape the pressure. They also utilized the natural laws they had learned to re-engage the two shadow generals.
But it was too late.
Damien had already reached Kyle.
Alec and Carcel tried to stop him, but their weapons were met by Ceano's fake body blade. The two were pushed back.
Yue and Mia created multiple shields around Kyle as Lara, Sinon, and Regius faced Damien's attack head-on. They were successful in stopping him in his tracks, but their hearts sank when they heard Ceano's laughter echo behind them.
Sinon turned around sharply.
"His second body!!!"
Alec and Carcel, who were engaged with Ceano, widened their eyes at the sight.
Far away, Enthrall, who was about to make his way to Kyle by taking advantage of the chaos, suddenly stopped.
"I guess I'm not needed, hehe. At least Ceano's fake bodies are still useful."
Ceano licked his lips with a wicked grin as he tore apart the barriers surrounding Kyle and clawed at his face to rip it apart.
For some reason, he felt as though he could actually kill this human, especially seeing his weak, trembling body!
Kyle stared at the hand reaching for his face and spoke with an emotionless gaze.
"Just a sec late."
Ceano's eyes dilated, because just as his hand was about to touch Kyle's face, the symbols before Kyle glowed ominously in blood-red, and a formidable aura, stronger than what Damien had released earlier, surged outward from them, sending everyone around him flying
away.
Sinon, who was closest to him after the second shadow general, felt the full force of the sudden surge of power, which sent him hurtling through the air.
He hissed in pain and shielded his body with his wings to minimize the impact as he crashed
to the ground, creating a crater. Instantly, a torrent of curses erupted from his mouth,
directed solely at Kyle.
"At least give a warning! You piece of "
His words were cut short as an unimaginable pain suddenly shot through his body, forcing
him to let out a scream.
Alec and the others also wanted to curse Kyle as they crashed down hard; but Sinon wasn't the only one feeling the sudden pain; all those who had fed their blood to the symbols experienced the same agony.
James finally plummeted from the sky. He clenched his jaw and endured the agony as he felt his life force slipping away from his body, heading straight toward the glowing red symbols. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop it since he had willingly offered
his blood.
He glanced around and noticed the seven elders enduring the same torment.
But unlike the younger generation, they did not scream. They had experienced far worse to let this pain affect them.
