Chapter 784 - Fear
"Cease your actions! Let them pa.s.s (We won"t fight)!"
"…"
Everyone was stunned when they heard about these orders from their respective leader. As much as they wanted to believe it, they couldn"t… Until the Song Hun, the former clan head, made his appearance and released his Spiritual Energy to suppress the people from the Blackwade Clan.
"They are not our enemy for today. Cease your action and let them pa.s.s." Song Hun glared at the entire Blackwade"s family members.
Since the strongest fighter of their family, the 10-Star Martial Saint, had personally acted, they had no choice other than lowering their weapons.
Seeing them like this, the Ancient Blue Family remembered what their family head said earlier and put down their weapons.
"This is not for your sake." Song Ping, the clan leader, snorted.
"It"s for our sake. But since I have pa.s.sed this place, my role is over. I won"t do anything past this point." Davi sneered as he flew away.
Song Ping and Song Hun didn"t spare another glance on him and let him pa.s.s, not afraid of them from making a sneak attack.
The entire battlefield was stunned. With the Spiritual Energy and killing intent filled the entire area, the battle was nowhere to be seen as if they already had an agreement before this war.
"Agreement?!" Leo widened his eyes, remembering how Davi acted. Although he had bad-mouthed the Spirit Nest, he never said he would attack them. Instead, he redirected all the topics to their plans.
"!!!" It was at this moment he realized how Davi fooled him. Veins started coming out of his skin as he glared at Davi with killing intent. "Davi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
"What?!" Davi halted and looked back. "Listen here. I have never promised to join hands with you. You are the one who thinks that way, and I truly didn"t lie back then… Of course, only for that part. After all, not telling everything is not considered lying, right? You are a wise man Leo. However, no matter how smart they are, they are bound to make a mistake at some point. The problem is this mistake will cost you everything."
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will kill you!"
"Sure… You can try to kill me when we meet in the underworld… That is after a few more thousand years. Hoho… I still want to live for that long after all!" Davi laughed as he turned back to his Ancient Blue Family. "Men! Let"s leave!"
"You!" Leo gritted his teeth.
Liza, on the other side, widened her eyes as she couldn"t believe what just happened. To think that Davi just betrayed them right off the bat, no, it might be more appropriate to say he was never on their side this whole time.
Alex smiled at this point, observing everyone"s face. Fear, Anxiety, Confusion, and many more emotions mixed in their face. He wouldn"t let this chance go and shouted. "Hahaha… As expected from the Fire G.o.d Clan. You are truly confident in fighting us that you don"t check your comrade first."
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Do you think you can kill all of us here? Even without the Ancient Blue Family, our strength is still evenly matched." Leo roared, trying to lower Alex"s stance, so the people from his side could hear. He tried to raise their morale that it wasn"t over, but Alex laughed again. "What is funny?!"
"I said it earlier. I am not the one who will regret my choice, but you!" Alex smirked as he took out a token and channeled his Spiritual Energy inside. "Is our strength evenly matched? Is that because I only have a few people on my side? Then how about I bring them here?"
"What a speech. As expected of that person"s disciple… To think that the Fire G.o.d Clan didn"t learn their mistake from the past. I heard that your master caused a big ruckus to their clan a few thousand years ago." Viola"s voice shook everyone on the battlefield. They looked around to see where the voice was coming out, but they found it right behind Alex. It was impossible because there was nothing behind him until they found a blue gate that appeared out of nowhere.
It slowly grew to a giant gate, ranging fifty meters in radius. At the same time, a few more gates also appeared alongside this Spatial Gate, with many people coming out of that gate.
"What is that?!" Everyone was able to see those gates and had no memory about that gate until someone jogged their memories by saying, "That… Is that the legendary Spatial Gate?!"
"The legendary Spatial Gate? But don"t you need a s.p.a.ce Element Master to use such a technique? I thought they were extinct after that purge. Even the survivors were exterminated on sight."
"No matter what you say, it is undoubtedly the Spatial Gate in the legend!"
Leo"s body shook as he watched numerous people coming out the nine gates with a single person leading them.
"Fire Temple."
"Water Temple."
"Ice Temple."
"Earth Temple."
"Lightning Temple."
"Wind Temple."
"Light Temple."
"Dark Temple."
"s.p.a.ce Temple."
Each Great Elder named their own affiliates before raising their Spiritual Energy and shouting. "… Are ready to fight!"
That shout shook the entire city and everyone"s heart. Only a few of them recognized what they said earlier. Nine elements. This was the basic element of this world, and almost everyone was born with these elements in their body. And to think Alex summoned them just like that… Even to the point of calling the three rare elements: Light, Dark, and s.p.a.ce.
No one would be able to keep their face calm after watching this kind of scene. However, there is still one important question lingering in their mind. "Where did Alex get all of these people?"
No matter how hard they turned their brain, they couldn"t arrive at an answer. The only thing that is close to the real answer would be that these people are Alex"s subordinates, which the Spirit Nest had hidden for so long.
"Hoho, this old man has no word for this. To think we can make a grand entrance like this and bring down the enemies" morale at the same time. This Licht admits defeat." An old man slowly moved toward Alex with a smile.
Alex didn"t have a change in expression and asked, "Have everyone in their position yet?"
"Of course." Licht nodded and raised his hand, shooting out a white light to the sky before it burst like a firework.
Suddenly, a fluctuation of Spiritual Energy shot to the sky, covering the entire battlefield and trapping everyone inside it. Since the Ancient Blue Family had left, they weren"t trapped here.
In fact, the moment Davi watched many people appear alongside the array, he already realized the future of Fire G.o.d Clan and Snow White Mountain had disappeared.
"Family head… That…" One of the elders appeared beside him, looking at the barrier with a fearful expression. Even his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"It"s the execution ground. Even if we go there to help the Fire G.o.d Clan and Snow White Mountain, only family extermination be the result. I have settled everything in the back, and the real person who brought back the technique was that young man, Alexander Sirius. It"s best for us to lay low for the time being and strengthen our family. And have our envoys contacted the Phantasm Sect and the Divine Kingdom. Although I can say that kind of alliance wouldn"t last long, it"s better for us to prepare for the worst." Davi shook his head.
"I understand."
"Shall they come to our doorstep with weapons in hand, we will fight to the b.l.o.o.d.y end." Davi let out a long sigh before flying away.
On the other hand, Liza, who had become one of their allies, became pale. She never expected to have this kind of surprise that scared her out of her life. There was only a single reason why everything became like this. Letizia. In her desperate moment, she searched for Letizia"s figure, thinking she could stop this by talking with her. Unfortunately, her figure was nowhere to be seen.
Alex also didn"t let them think as he signaled Licht for the next step.
"s.p.a.ce Temple"s disciples. Spread out and protect the barrier with your Spatial Gate. Make sure the enemy can"t destroy our barrier." Licht shouted.
Around a thousand disciples suddenly flew toward the barrier before standing right in front of it. They raised their hand and summoned the same Spatial Gate like they used for transporting their people.
Even a fool could understand Licht"s intention. A barrier could be easily destroyed by attacking the barrier above its capacity or wearing it out until it exhausted all of its energy. However, with the s.p.a.ce Element Disciples teleporting every single attack coming to that barrier, they could do neither of those.
With everything messing up their mind, Alex didn"t give them a chance to recover. He clapped his hand and enhanced the voice to the entire battlefield.
Manness and Song Ping realized this signal as they stretched their hands to the sides. "Surround them!"
The people from these two influences immediately moved around, circling the city to trap them inside.
Licht saw this and ordered all Great Elders. "Fire, Water, Lightning, and Wind Temples will be our main fighters. Make sure you kill every single of them. Ice and Earth Temple will form a wall to ensure the protection of our s.p.a.ce Temple Disciples. Light and Dark Temples will provide support for all temples. As for the elders, you shall a.s.sist your own Temple before going for your respective mission."
"Understood." All elders nodded and followed Licht"s order. Alex didn"t order them because he didn"t really know them and their strength, so he didn"t say anything.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Have the mercenaries face the Blackwade Clan and hold them back for us. If they don"t dare to comply, say they won"t live past today even if they surrender! Instead, they should fight with us if they want to live because we still have our traps." Leo shouted in anger.
"Ye-yes." The people surrounding him nodded their heads and flew toward the mercenaries.
Liza, on the other hand, shouted toward the Drunken Pavilion, specifically Letizia. "Young… Young Mistress Letizia, I am sure there is a misunderstanding between us. Let"s talk about it first."
Unfortunately, not a single person replied to her. Even the spirits that accompanied Letizia only smirked, watching this idiot… No, she couldn"t be considered an idiot since she simply didn"t know everything regarding Letizia and Alex. She could be said to be an ignorant and unfortunate person… But it was enough to change her fate in this place.
Whether it was a pity or not, Letizia suddenly presented himself on the battlefield, looking at this person. Even though she had been there for long, no one would approach her as the master that taught her. She didn"t feel anything wrong back then, but she soon realized it was because of their ancestor.
When she set her eyes upon this pitiful person, she simply snorted and said coldly. "I remember the time when you said you want to kill my master. This is good. My master is here. I thought you were someone of her word…"
This was nothing but a blatant provocation and insult to Liza. Naturally, she couldn"t take it anymore, especially after being ignored for too long.
"You b*tch. Just because that man favors you doesn"t mean you are special. He just wants your body and Pure Ice Element. As soon as he has no use of you, he will simply throw you away!" Liza roared in anger.
"At that time, I will simply disappear from his life, even if it means taking out my own life." Letizia shook her head and smiled. Her expression told everyone that she meant every word she said earlier, and somehow it scared them.
"You… You are insane."
A Pure Ice Element would surely become the world"s peak power. And yet, a person like that had this kind of loyalty to him, and they could even see it was coming from her heart. Just like how Alex recognized her as one of his people, she also recognized her status and had no shame in revealing it, and her replied was… "No. You don"t know him enough.
Alex watched this and couldn"t help but smile. However, he was soon startled when the system sent him a notification.
[Host. Look at your five.]
Alex didn"t understand what she meant, but he turned around. This action piqued everyone"s curiosity as they also turned around, following Alex"s line of sight.
But… Not in their wildest dream they would see something like this. A huge clump of metal floated in the sky, moving toward them a bit slowly because they almost reached them.
This chump of metal had been designed in a particular form that looked elegant. Coupled with the blue lines that covered almost every piece of this s.h.i.+p, this thing was everything but ordinary.
On top of this thing stood tall four men, but only one of them could be considered as a human. One of them had animal ears, tails, and a hairy body, despite having a body structure like that of a man. The one beside him didn"t have anything extraordinary except the fact that he looked very short and his pointed ears. Only the last one seemed to be scary. He wore a huge black robe and a staff, but the moment he took off the hood, only a skull could be seen. Even the hand that took off the hood was that of a skeleton.
"A s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!"
