Chapter 778: Move aside!
Chapter 778: Move aside!
Bia took a deep breath and whipped her head sharply toward the lynx, fighting the other monsters fiercely for the people she no longer gave a damn about.
-"Nox!!!"
Her voice resonated through the air, so powerful and loud that Nox almost forgot how to fly, despite it being second nature to him, all because of sheer fear.
He turned his frightened blue eyes toward the phoenix, who had been silent all this time. Bia's eyes flickered with anger.
-"We're leaving to find Yue! Take Neon and the people we know with you. It's time to grow stronger! Follow me before I pluck all your beautiful scales!"
Nox cried out inwardly. What had he done to get on her nerves now? He had just been fighting to end the people of the dark side! But he didn't dare to question Bia.
The multiple powerful monsters fighting around him scoffed at the phoenix and telepathically told Nox to reject her.
They had all formed a friendship with him after fighting alongside him for several long months, so they were confident he wouldn't abandon them for Bia, who always beat him up for no reason on the battlefield.
But they were dumbfounded when Nox turned and disappeared toward the phoenix without even sparing them a glance! Damn! He didn't even look back!
Bia glared at James and the seven elders one last time. Then, she turned and swept her gaze across her surroundings. The blue in her eyes deepened to an almost icy hue, but she didn't notice. Before long, Nox was flying beside her in his human form, along with Neon and many familiar faces.
James could only massage his temples as he watched their figures disappear.
"Why do I feel like we angered the wrong person? Kyle is someone who doesn't care about all this. But Bia..."
Odiak patted his back.
"There's no use. She knows we can't do anything, even if we want to. She can't too. Now it's up to Kyle to survive... he has to. And if he can't..."
He didn't dare say anything more. James turned and joined the battle occurring in the surroundings alongside the elders.
As they killed the remaining people of the dark side, their minds raced with thoughts of what to do now that they had only two decades to either save themselves or face oblivion alongside the entire universe.
First and foremost, they needed to convey the grim news about what had transpired to every single person in the universe. Then, they had to establish a new battleground. With the Forsaken Land gone, the dark side could now launch attacks anywhere.
And they were correct, as Ceano and Damien, who had escaped in time after witnessing Azazeal's condition, had already begun issuing orders to their people to conquer every planet in the universe.
The shadow generals believed they would leave for the Celestial Realm alongside the powerful leader they served as soon as Azazeal achieved what he wanted.
They were determined to grow stronger, indifferent to the universe's future.
Alongside many individuals from other races, the demon race and its subsidiary branches, the dark and nightkin race, under their command, were entirely oblivious to the impending doom.
And even if any of them were aware, they believed that if anything occurred, Azazeal would shield them since they were fighting for him. As a result, they had no concern for the devastation that the future held.
But would Azazeal truly protect them? That was something that not many consider.
....
Jian and Lara both were the first to arrive before the expansive thin gray shield that contained the dark mass of energy.
The people of the dark side in the surroundings had been already eliminated, while the powerful warriors fighting under James and the elders were either retreating to their home planets or seeking refuge on nearby planets until the influential figures could identify a new battleground.
The crowd had also thinned, leaving only the older supreme and transcendent ranks alongside James and the elders as they discussed their next course of action. It was then that they noticed Jian and Lara.
The duo was panting heavily, and it was evident from their injured bodies that they had struggled a lot to reach this place.
Jian gritted his teeth as he remembered how Kyle's body had shattered before his very eyes, and couldn't to do anything!
He unleashed his strongest skill to shatter the shield surrounding the mass of energy in an attempt to reach Kyle, but his attack was stopped by elder Hal and Sophia. The eyes of all the supreme and transcendent ranks floating in the vicinity widened in shock at his actions. Jian cursed loudly and unleashed his powerful aura, glaring at Hal and Sophia. "Move aside, you two! Why have you all not destroyed this thing and reached Kyle yet??"
Lara arrived beside him to help him destroy the shield; she had thought Kyle didn't need assistance when he was sending everyone away. But upon seeing his body shatter, she realized there was no way he was fine!
Alec, Yue, and the others didn't even know what had happened! She glared at the elders who
were stopping Jian.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Her voice was calmer than Jian's, but she had also unleashed her transcendent rank aura. James hurriedly positioned himself opposite the duo.
"Listen first... alright—"
Jian cut him off.
"What's there to listen to? Kyle isn't okay! We need to find his soul! He lost his body right in front of my eyes! Move aside; I will break that shield if you all weaklings can't!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His voice was hoarse as he tried to push his way through everyone in front of him. Instantly, whispers of disapproval filled the air, expressing how arrogant this red-haired man was for daring to challenge so many powerful figures. The powerful individuals who hadn't joined the war and had recently gathered due to the commotion had no knowledge of Jian and were displeased. But they shut their mouths when James and Odiak darkly glared at them. Jian cursed when he was pushed back in the distance. James quickly formed a barrier around him and let out a sigh.
"Kid, I know I have grown weaker since many of us sacrificed our life force, but I am not weak. You won't be able to last long if we all fight against you. So, listen to me first, and then decide
what you want to do."
