Chapter 418 Attack
Nine narrowed his eyes at the countless people standing in rows in front of him. Some of the old folks seemed unhappy, but he didn't give a care. They were all outside the border, in an open field that stretched towards the former ruined East Continent.
The tower's guardians, except for Susan, were gathered above the tall border with numerous powerful mages. Behind them, the entire Coexis was enveloped in a dome that shimmered under the sunlight.
Nine hummed and glanced to his left, where numerous elves in armor stood under the command of two old elven Dukes. It was unbelievable but the elven Kingdom had gone all out in such a short time.
Almost everyone from their Kingdom had armor on, showing that they didn't hold back in using all their resources for the upcoming battle. In the distance, Yue was engaged in a serious conversation with a few old elves and she looked beautiful in her ensemble. Her attire featured sleek metal plating, carefully crafted and intricately designed.
Nine's eyes paused on another elven woman, standing a little further away from Yue. He quickly left his spot and headed towards his lover, not caring about the old merpeople who were giving him deadly stares.
He landed in front of Elli, who had her long hair tied in a ponytail, and patted her shoulder with a smile.
"You look beautiful..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Sinon appeared beside him. The winged demi-human wore an evil smile as he glanced at the two of them.
"So, what's up?"
Nine's eyebrow twitched. He wanted to roll up his sleeves and have a one-on-one showdown to answer the annoying question thrown at him. But before he could, a commotion broke out. A lot of people turned around to watch as the largest teleportation array, engraved in the distance, lit up.
In the next second, countless humans in blue armor started appearing above the array. Some older individuals guided the new arrivals to leave the array and stand in a different direction to make room for more people. The first few batches of humans were probably from the royal army because after them, a lot of humans who wore different sets of attire started appearing above the array.
King Istalian stepped out from another array drawn in the distance, accompanied by his two sons, Lucus and Izroth. After them, Jian, Carcel, Alec, Regius, and Lara arrived with George and some other older individuals.
The crowd kept getting bigger and bigger as more and more people arrived to stand in front of Yon and Istalian, who had started floating in front of them.
Completely unaware that two pairs of eyes had been watching them from a distance, Diora let out a chuckle as she focused her gaze on the people below her. Her hand rested beneath her chin as she observed the scene while sitting on a cloud that enclosed her in a transparent barrier. Hay stood quietly behind her.
The woman eyes turned crescents as she twirled her hair.
"Well, I came first because I got curious about how the ants killed Ateo, but my, my, why am I seeing so many unfamiliar faces?..."
She had left behind the army with Misha and the other divine-ranked individuals. However, who would have thought that the people they were planning to surprise with a deadly attack were preparing to surprise them instead? Her eyes scanned Yon and the other tower's guardians before abruptly stopping on a few familiar faces of the young individuals who had fought against her, Hay, and the other divine individuals but somehow managed to stay alive. In the end, her sharp gaze fixed on Alec.
"How did they increase their strength? I mean, seriously, how? I can't help but wonder if they stumbled upon some hidden treasure trove. Now I'm itching to dig the beautiful place hidden inside the dome so badly..."
"Anyway, I understand now... how Ateo died. After all, with so many pseudo-divine rank individuals, even I would have a hard time."
She burst into laughter and watched as the number of people grew beneath her. No matter what she said, she was confident that she could easily wipe out a big part of the army below.
"Hay, should I attack? It would be so much fun to see their expressions crumble when I destroy the army they gathered in just a few minutes...haha."
She clamped her mouth shut when Yon raised his head to stare at her direction with furrowed brows as if the dwarf was trying to see through her barrior. Diora eyes sparkled when Yon looked away.
"Wow, that was dangerous! I got goosebumps because of that dwarf."
She paused and rubbed her hands together with a smile.
After the humans, the people from the demi-human and dwarf races also arrived. Soon, rows after rows of individuals stood side by side. The differences between their races were forgotten in the face of the danger they were about to face.
"Hay, I just had an idea, let's wait a bit and see how big their army is. And when they're all ready... boom! Haha!"
In the midst of all the commotion, the bright sun started to fade from the horizon as the number of people in front of the border grew.
After the humans, the people from the demi-human and dwarf races also arrived. Soon, rows after rows of individuals stood side by side. The differences between their races were forgotten in the face of the danger they were about to face.
The atmosphere grew tense with each passing second, and those who were just speaking and chatting casually before were now standing with their weapons clenched tightly in their hands.
Yon gazed at the crowd in front. The air became heavy, filled with the faint sound of metallic clinking. The soldiers from each race stood in the frontline alongside the older people who would command them. The newly enlisted fighters were positioned behind them, and finally, the mages stood in the end. Many of the mages were also stationed above the border, accompanied by a few tower's guardians who would guide them.
Amidst the crowd, Alec looked around and suddenly furrowed his brows.
'Where's Kyle?'
He started floating and quickly located everyone except Kyle and Bia.
'Hmm, it seems he's not here.'
Just then, King Istalian stepped forward from the group of older people and cleared his throat loudly. Not only him, but Muzim, Yue, and the dwarf King also stepped forward to offer words of encouragement to the countless soldiers and fighters in front of them. The same soldiers and fighters who were about to engage in a life-and-death battle for their home planet.
The tense atmosphere intensified as all eyes turned to Istalian. However, before the man could open his mouth to speak, a laugh echoed in the air. Istalian's eyes dilated because he was just too familiar with that voice.
Not just him, instantly, all the people who knew the owner of the voice snapped their heads towards the air where the voice came from.
Diora blinked when so many eyes were fixed on her. She slapped Hay, who was floating beside her.
"Shhh! You should have told me I'm getting loud again! I wanted to hear the speech! Now it's all gone!"
Alec, Jian, and many others started floating to gather around the woman. Their eyes blazed with anger as they got ready to finish the woman that appeared in front of them. Yon also grabbed his weapon, but Diora's eyes were fixed on the army below.
"Now that the speech is ruined, how about I have some fun?"
She raised her hand, and the eyes of the people around her dilated when the air in front of her cracked to form a massive jaw that overshadowed a huge space in front of her. The air twisted with flickering dark particles, and a loud rumble sounded in the sky.
Alec let out a shout and lunged forward to stop the woman. He had seen that skill before. Last time, it destroyed a big city! Now, with so many people around, who knows how much devastation it could cause?
"Stop her! A huge part of the land below would be destroyed if her attack-!"
His sentence was cut short when familiar icy blue flames surged in the air, completely enveloping everything around Diora. The woman let out a surprised gasp as the flames surged and danced around her, eventually engulfing the jaw she had created.
"What's happening? Wait...These flames...?"
She wanted to stop the flames, but they were too strong and cold to the touch. In the end, she could only watch with wide eyes as the flames completely enveloped the massive jaw she created and vanished into tiny, little particles that drifted around her in a beautiful manner.
"Haha... No way...?"
Behind her, Hay narrowed his eyes and looked around for the owner of the flames because he sensed that the flames were dangerous, too dangerous. At that moment, a voice echoed in the distance.
"A little late but just in time."
Kyle sighed as he stepped out of a portal, his gaze traveled to Diora and Hay before stopping at Alec.
"What are you all waiting for? Attack!"
Yon wasted no time and launched the first strike against the woman. The others quickly joined the dwarf as well.
