Chapter 286: Mission Accomplished
286 Mission Accomplished
"Boom!"
They launched the attack, but many people started falling to the ground.
Those people on the ground were either convulsing or in a coma. It was just a matter of time before they died.
When they realized that they didn"t destroy the barrier, people started becoming desperate. Even w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan immediately floated to the air.
He looked at the people outside and shouted without care anymore. "Help!" He cried out loud. He couldn"t stand it anymore as his body had been shaking uncontrollably for a minute.
When Bima saw this, he immediately ordered everyone around him.
"We are going to break the barrier now! All people will help me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan, we will attack at the same time," Bima shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" w.i.l.l.y then shouted to his family members who remained standing. Half of his people had been lying on the ground.
He didn"t know what was happening. He thought since it was only a fire and no real casualty, he could catch this person as long as he didn"t break the barrier.
But because he was taking too long, Alex"s objective had been achieved. The fire had been taking the oxygen inside the barrier continuously, and now it had come back to them.
Without the supply of oxygen and full of carbon dioxide, they would die sooner or later.
"People of the Kasmanan Family. We are going to attack once again."
"Ooh!"
They started preparing their attacks. When they were ready, Bima immediately shouted,
"Attack!"
"Attack!" w.i.l.l.y also shouted.
"Tiger Echo Fist!"
"Swirling Wind."
"Wonderous Fire."
"Superior Spear."
Every person around the area launched their attack on the barrier.
"Boom!"
The attacks from outside were intercepted by Jadeite Mirror Array. Before the attacks crashed. The mysterious force suddenly lightened the power of their attacks. It was Alex"s s.p.a.ce Element.
Although it couldn"t serve as a s.h.i.+eld, it could protect the array as a cus.h.i.+on.
Bima and the others were observing the barrier.
"Did we do it?"
They could see the barrier was cracking.
"We did it!" The people shouted in joy.
Especially the people from the Kasmanan Family. When they saw their attacks succeeded in cracking the barrier.
They were overjoyed. They could see the crack started to spread out, and finally, the entire barrier crumbled.
Unfortunately, they met a hard reality. When the barrier crumbled, what they met was only another barrier.
Even with the force of around thirty Martial Lords. It was not enough to destroy the barrier.
With a peak rank 4 barrier-type array that had been strengthened with Alex"s s.p.a.ce element and king stage Monster Blood. The array was beyond their expectation. The ones who maintained the barrier were Anna, Leoz, and Fabio to boot.
What they destroyed was only Greg"s Barrier while the Jadeite Mirror Array was still in fact. In fact, there was not even a crack on the barrier. When they saw that, their legs finally gave up.
Their body was shaking, and they fell to the ground. Unwillingness was planted on their face. Even w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan couldn"t hold on anymore.
After seeing his family members had fallen, he also fell to the ground, shaking.
He felt his throat was choked by something, and his heart was pumping crazily. It was excruciating.
"Did everyone feel this too?" He gritted his teeth while thinking that on the ground.
He didn"t even know who was the one who ma.s.sacred his family.
...
When the people outside saw the barrier crumbling. They also shouted in joy before Darma noticed something wrong.
They really did see the barrier broke. But it was only the inner barrier. What they attacked was the Jadeite Mirror Array, while the people inside struck Greg"s barrier.
"Wait. There are two barriers. We haven"t succeeded in breaking the barrier!" Darma shouted.
The people outside alone were not enough to break open the Jadeite Mirror Array. Sadly, it was too late for them to realize it. The moment they heard Darma, they finally saw the Jadeite Mirror Array was intact.
They were shocked, especially Bima. He was not only shocked by the barrier but with the Kasmanan Family too. They started falling to the ground and convulsing. Most of them didn"t even move.
"w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan? What happened? Don"t we break the barrier?"
"I suppose there are two barriers. The one that broke was the inside barrier. That meant the people from the Kasmanan Family were the ones who destroyed the barrier. We didn"t break this Jadeite Mirror Array."
"What? Does this Array even have two layers?"
"No, I don"t think it has two layers," Darma said while frowning. Even he was confused by this situation.
"We don"t have time anymore. Look, the people from the Kasmanan Family had been falling to the ground. Is it poison?"
An old man came to the front. His hair was all white, and he wore a long white robe. He narrowed his eyes while looking at the condition inside. He was the Alchemist Guild"s guild master, Pedro.
"I don"t know. If it is really a poison, it must be in the air."
"Guild Master Pedro, do you think it is bad to remove this barrier? If we destroy the barrier, won"t the poison come out?" Bima said hurriedly.
"Hmm... I don"t think so. I don"t know why, but it seems the culprit enclosed the s.p.a.ce with the barrier. In other words, the culprit didn"t want to harm anyone besides the Kasmanan Family."
"I am asking whether the poison will go out if we break the barrier!" Bima couldn"t wait any longer because of the situation. If it were too late, the people from the Kasmanan Family would die.
"Like I said, this person won"t harm other people besides the Kasmanan Family. If we destroy the barrier or the culprit, release the barrier. The poison won"t spread.
"If Your Majesty is not convinced. I can take the lead to see whether the poison is still there or not after you break the barrier. Although this old man is not a poison user, after engaging with medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs for so long. I could say I have the necessary knowledge for this."
"Fine." Bima immediately agreed without thinking as the time didn"t let him think. Bima shouted, "People, we are going to attack this again until the barrier breaks!"
"Yes!"
"Attack!"
"Tiger Echo Fist!"
"Swirling Wind."
"Wonderous Fire."
"Superior Spear."
"Boom Boom Boom!" A series of explosions filled the capital city.
Finally, this time, they managed to make a crack on Jadeite Mirror Array. When Bima saw that, he was happy and shouted again.
"People. We will attack it once more. We will surely destroy the barrier this time."
"Ooh!"
Bima turned to Pedro. "I hope Guild Master Pedro will help us whether the poison will go out or not. We can try to stop the flow of the air with our Spiritual Energy for a while."
"This old man will try." Pedro nodded.
"Attack!" Bima shouted again while attacking.
"Tiger Echo Fist!"
"Swirling Wind."
"Wonderous Fire."
"Superior Spear."
"Boom Boom Boom!" A series explosion once again filled the entire capital city.
Unfortunately, this time, the explosions didn"t occur on the barrier. Instead, their attacks crashed on the ground.
Just before their attacks crashed on the barrier, the barrier suddenly disappeared. Their attacks then went through it and exploded on the Kasmanan Family.
In other words, what they attacked was not the barrier but the people from the Kasmanan Family.
When they finally realized that, they could only see many bodies from the Kasmanan Family had lost body parts because of their attack. Even w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan was not spared from it. He lost his arm... Well, he already lost his life before losing his arm so... Ahem.
The burnt scent that had been trapped inside the barrier finally released to the outside. The people started coughing because of the smell.
Pedro immediately tried to decipher the smell if there was poison or not inside the air. But, other than the burnt scent, he didn"t find anything.
"I don"t find any poison inside." He said to Bima.
Bima was astounded. Not because he heard there was no poison, but because he realized they just partic.i.p.ated in killing the Kasmanan Family.
He instantly rushed toward w.i.l.l.y Kasmanan. He tried to check his condition only to find out that he was already dead.
He checked the people in the surrounding, but all of them were dead. The people also checked the bodies on the ground, but the result was the same as Bima.
They gulped down. They didn"t know why, but a particular story was playing inside their mind. A story of a family ma.s.sacred by an Array Master to avenge his grievances.
They thought it was only an urban legend, but they realized it was not. Because they just spectated the real thing with their own eyes. An array master ma.s.sacred the entire Kasmanan Family.
"Search around. They said the one who did it was inside. Lockdown the city and search for that person!" Bima ordered out loud.
The people started exploring the city. But the culprit had escaped from the city. And not long after, the Southern Kingdom also issued a wanted poster for this person.
...
A few minutes ago,
When the second wave of attacks arrived. Greg suddenly fell to his knees, exhausted. Even Leoz, Anna, and Fabio shook a bit.
"Greg, are you okay? Anna, Leoz, Fabio." Alex looked around.
"I am okay, Young Master. But, I have exhausted all of my Spiritual Energy. I request to go back to the card. I"m sorry I can"t help you after this, Young Master." Greg said as his green armor turned to grey.
Anna also a.s.sured him. "We are alright. Without the Kasmanan Family, we should be able to block another two waves."
Alex looked at her, worried. Just because of this revenge thing, did he endanger his spirits? His woman?
Alex gritted his teeth, thinking about retreating now. But before he said anything else, the third wave had come.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
"Kh!" Anna, Leoz, and Fabio gritted their teeth. They almost exhausted their Spiritual Energy too.
Even Alex also felt the barrier cracked. After looking at Anna, Leoz, and Fabio. He decided to stop at this. He murmured, "Revenge is good. But if it cost me everything. Then it is not worth it."
When he finally decided to stop it, his head cooled down. And he just thought of an ideal plan for this.
His eyes brightened and said, "Anna, Leoz, Fabio. You three don"t need to block the attacks again."
"Alex (Young Master)?" Of course, the three were confused by his words.
"I mean, you can just release the barrier before those attacks. .h.i.t the barrier. After all, the barrier will break even if you three hold it."
Their eyes widened. They quickly realized Alex"s intention. They looked at each other with a serious expression and nodded.
And finally, the last wave came, the barrier disappeared, and that barrage of attacks. .h.i.t the Kasmanan Family.
After Alex confirmed the attacks. .h.i.t Kasmanan Family, Alex said, "Alright. Let"s go back."
They nodded. Alex then took out Njomo"s card. "We are going back. Meet me at the base in Nemu Forest."
"Woof!"
He used his Spatial Gate to cross the city wall and appeared again inside the woods near the capital city.
"Alex, you are famous now." Anna suddenly came to tease him.
"Famous?" Perplexed with the question, Alex tilted his head.
"Yeah, from Heavenly Sword Sect to Mount Hua Sect that Elder Su Hua. Then the Zhou Kingdom and lastly this kingdom. Maybe they will also post a wanted poster for you later."
Alex was dumbfounded. After Anna told him about it, he finally realized that.
Of course, Alex and the others didn"t know about the ruckus that girl from Rainbow Flower Sect had made. They came back to the base inside Nemu Forest before going to Hua Town, where Alex will take his Alchemist and Array Master test.
