Chapter 793: Saving the elven planet V
Samara's eyes blazed with fury as she watched the two who dared to interrupt her attack casually chatting right before her. A loud, mocking chuckle escaped her lips, a vein pulsing on her forehead.
"Very good, very good!!"
Her voice boomed, filling the air with an overwhelming force as the full power of a peak supreme rank was unleashed.
The entire planet quivered, and even the Tree of Fate, which had remained silent all this while, trembled slightly in discomfort.
Everyone on the planet felt a chill run down their spines as a pillar of darkness erupted from the position where the Demon Queen floated, engulfing everything around her.
Regius shut his mouth, and Nine's demeanor shifted to one of seriousness as well. They were unprepared for the surge of darkness that erupted to engulf them.
They jumped and rushed back, dragging Ronan by the collar. But who would have thought that the elven man, who had been lucid all this time and had refused to listen to Samara's command, would suddenly turn violent and attack them both, his deep eyes devoid of reason as if his mind were under someone else's control?
Regius cursed and released Ronan's collar, hurriedly dodging the punch aimed at him.
"Shit! What the hell? I thought he was in control of his mind?"
Nine grabbed his arm and flung him away as he noticed a familiar whip striking at him from his peripheral vision, coming from the approaching sea of darkness.
"Talk less and focus!"
He shouted with a deep frown. He didn't think Samara would be this powerful. She had already reached the peak of supreme rank, and there was no way they could kill her easily, especially after witnessing her mastery of the natural law of darkness.
Without hesitation, Nine ripped open the space before him and stepped into the rift to distance himself from the darkness as soon as he noticed that Regius had left in the opposite direction.
He appeared far away from Samara and glanced at Ronan, who seemed to have lost all sense of reasoning. For some reason, it seemed Samara did not use the power of the dark contract to force him all this time, allowing him to witness the destruction of his race as a form of torture. But now that she had finally unleashed the true power of the dark contract to control his mind, they couldn't do much to save him.
"It's a good thing we freed Alec from that dark contract; otherwise, the future would not have been bright for us..."
He muttered, feeling relieved. In the distance, Kurt, Yue, Bia, and Nox, who had eliminated the demons they were fighting, rushed toward Nine to join him and Regius when they saw the pillar of darkness and heard Samara's sinister voice.
Even the elven Queen and the other supreme-rank old elves, having somewhat recovered from their injuries thanks to Elli, hurriedly rushed to join the battle. They had seen Samara's strength firsthand and knew they couldn't simply stand by and watch.
Samara's figure didn't emerge from the darkness, but everyone surrounding her fled the vicinity when her whip lashed out from the dark pillar and struck the ground beneath her, causing it to fracture.
Instantly, a massive crack opened up, swiftly tearing through nearly one-third of the planet's land and swallowing everyone-ally or foe-who was unable to escape.
Her satisfied laughter echoed through the air as her white pupils glowed ominously in the darkness, surveying the people around her as if they were already dead.
Regius quickly invoked his natural law to lessen the impact of the whip as numerous cries filled the air. He managed to seal the crack and shouted urgently.
"We need to remove her from the planet! If we also unleash our full power, the planet will collapse under the strain of this fight!"
Everyone heard him, but the main problem was how the freaking hell they were going to drag this evil woman off the planet?
Before they could devise a solution, the darkness surrounding Samara quivered and formed numerous enormous, razor-sharp blades that hurtled toward them. As if that weren't enough, Ronan also unleashed his full power upon them, forcing them to adopt a defensive position.
Nine cursed as he soared in circles to evade the attacks. He could see that the others weren't faring well either. His golden eyes dilated when one of the dark blades nearly plunged into his shoulder.
"Damn it! Everyone help me shatter the space around her and teleport her off the planet! We can't fight back at this rate!"
The weaker elves and demons fighting around them cried out and fled from the chaos, desperately trying to escape the planet as every structure caught in the onslaught shattered into fragments. The mountain peaks splintered, and the planet began to tremble violently. Dust and debris swirled into the air, obscuring the already dark sky in a shroud of despair.
While everyone was running around, evading Samara and Ronan's attacks, and Nine, along with those who could control space, waited for a good moment to create rifts around Samara to send her out of the planet, another figure entered the planet.
The dark phoenix was astonished by the scene before him. He considered watching for a moment but soon grew bored; after all, he had witnessed even greater battles.
"Well, they have made my work easier. Now I don't need to blend in with the enemies. I can simply take what I came for."
With that, he transformed into his human form and casually made his way toward the Tree of Fate while making himself invisible. The massive branches of the tree trembled as if sensing danger but could do nothing due to its weakened state. A bored chuckle escaped the dark phoenix's lips as he sensed the tree's agitation and panic.
"Hey, why panic? Huh? Don't worry; I will ensure the process isn't painful."
His dark eyes crinkled, and the beautiful dark wings behind his back fluttered as he entered the cluster of branches, searching for the remains of the Tree of Fate's core without any
intervention.
