Chapter 426: Barrier
426 Barrier
"True Spirit Body! Dark b.u.t.terfly Spirit!"
Anna immediately released her beautiful b.u.t.terfly wings. With her big scythe on her hands as well as her beauty, she would look like a fairy in the full moon, dancing and singing. The people were entranced by her appearance.
"True Spirit Body! Thunder Berserker Spirit!"
This time, it was Leoz. Unlike Anna"s noticeable wings, Leoz only grew a pair of horns in his head. Even so, the thunder started sparking from his body, and his fierce aura grew more and more deadly.
"True Spirit Body! Ifrit Spirit!"
Unlike the other two that did not have any big change in their appearance, Fabio had the biggest one as the fire started covering his full body. From others" perspectives, Fabio looked like a Fire Elemental, a being that was controlled and made by fire.
"True Spirit Body!" Ethereal Lightning Body!"
Even so, Jeanne was the most different from them. After all, even though she was still considered as a Spirit, her true form was nature itself. She was the lightning, and lightning was her. She got a true body because she received it from Alex in the past. It was the same as Jean, who was supposed to be her twin. Jean was the water itself, and because both of them were different, she considered them as a twin.
All of them released their own Spiritual Energy and started pressuring those people.
Without giving any chances for the people to recover, Alex immediately instructed them. "Leoz will take the 7-Star and 8-Star Martial Kings simultaneously. It is enough just to buy time and make sure you don"t use your energy that much since we have another battle after this.
"Anna will take care of the two 6-Star Martial Kings in front of us while Fabio takes care of the two 5-Star Martial Kings.
"Jeanne will take care of the Martial Kings from the Zhou Kingdom… the weaker ones. After you finish with them, help Fabio and Anna before you three help Leoz.
"The sect masters will evacuate the civilians out of the town and not in the direction of the Rivulet Forest. After all of them are safe, make sure you go to the Rivulet Forest for another battle.
"Letizia, I want you to bring all the elders to go toward our people in the neighboring city and lead them to Rivulet Forest.
"Meanwhile, I will stop their 150,000 armies. Move out!" Alex immediately gave his order. Initially, he wanted to leave the Martial Kings from Zhou Kingdom to the sect masters, because he was unsure whether he could get the last EXP card. Since he already leveled Jeanne up, he did not need to use a risk card since he was unsure whether the sect masters could fight those Martial Kings if they used the Berserk Pill.
After giving his order, Alex immediately flew toward the Rivulet Forest.
"!!!" Mica and Zink immediately leaped toward him to stop him again. Still, they suddenly raised their sword as a black colored attack came toward them. The attack immediately pushed them back.
"Dark Cut!"
Anna appeared between Alex and them. She looked down on them and said, "The likes of you are not qualified to stop him!"
His spirits were the first one to do according to his orders. Leoz and Fabio immediately came to Honda Sana and met their respective opponents.
"I shall buy time for you with these four people," Leoz said to Honda Sana. Fabio also nodded and said, "Then I will get these two people. You shall handle the two peak Martial Kings."
Honda Sana narrowed her eyes before nodding her head. Even though she was a bit unsure whether these two can hold them on, especially Leoz. However, she did not say anything as she could feel a powerful strength inside Leoz that had yet to be released.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You know about our plan!" Ryan roared.
"We have the number one spy in the world. Knowing your plan is easy for us." Leoz snorted before ignoring him and attacked his own opponents.
Their battle finally started. As for the rest, Letizia immediately shouted. "All elders from Rainbow Flower Sect as well as Heavenly Sword Sect hear me. We shall go to Thine City and lead our disciples to the Rivulet Forest."
When they heard that shout, they immediately woke from their daze. Even though they had known about this, it was still too shocking for them… from the amount of Spiritual Energy released by many Martial Kings, and they also did not know about Alex"s plan, so it was normal for them to be like this. They immediately gathered around her and flew toward Thine City together.
The three sect masters also roared to the people in the arena. "We are going to Shamwar Forest."
Xiang Bai immediately said to the Buddha Sect"s sect master. "You are going to help the people in the arena evacuate to Shamwar Forest and also bring your disciples to help with the evacuation process."
He then turned to Cecilia. "I am going to the north of the city, and you go to the south. We are going to chase them to Shamwar Forest. If possible, I want to make the soldiers from this city to help the evacuation process."
Cecilia glanced toward the announcer and grabbed him. "You are the city lord. Immediately mobilize your soldiers to help the evacuation."
"Un…understand!" The announcer did not ask any questions because he was a bit scared of the situation as well as her.
The leaders of the kingdoms, except the Zhou Kingdom also came to them. "We will help you too."
Even though they did not know what was going on, the fact that there were multiple Martial Kings in a single place, it must be something big. Of course, if the enemies only targeted Rainbow Flower Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, then they would not go so far to help them. But it seemed they were also on the list, so they had no choice other than helping them.
Xiang Bai and Cecilia nodded their heads.
…
Meanwhile, Alex had arrived in the Rivulet Forest. After going out of the city, he immediately used his Teleportation Array and went to their last position. He then summoned Njomo and said, "We are going to fill the array with twenty million Spirit Stones now, guide me."
Njomo nodded and started running. Both of them circled around the area and filled the five Gathering Arrays.
Alex was surely made a huge array as he was not sure whether he would have time to refill it if he just put a million or ten million at once. Because of the size, Alex made sure the place he drew the array would not be easily discovered.
After filling the Spirit Stones, Alex positioned himself in one of the Barrier Array. He channeled his Spiritual Energy just to start the array.
The array started glowing. There was also a line of arrays that connected the array in his feet to the other arrays. After they were activated and fully connected to the Spirit Gathering Array, Alex did not need to supply his Spiritual Energy again as it would immediately take the energy from the Spirit Stones.
When they started glowing, it was such a nice sight as he could see many lights between the woods. Of course, the fact that he could see this, the enemy soldiers could also see this.
After he felt all arrays had been activated, he immediately clapped his hand.
"Barrier Formation! Moonstone Barrier Great Formation!"
Twenty arrays immediately projected themselves in the air before it was connected to the real array right below it with a stream of light. It was like a cell bar, and each cell bar immediately made a connection with each other, creating an enormous prism that trapped all the people inside.
The soldiers immediately bewildered when they saw this. It became an uproar inside their ranks too.
"What happens?"
"Look at the light!"
"Hurry up, check it!"
"Are we trapped inside this?"
"It must be an array, but there should be no array that has this enormous size!"
"Send a signal to the outside scout and make them come back."
They immediately threw a smoke signal that was seen by the scouts. They were also bewildered by this sudden phenomenon and already made their way toward the base even before the smoke signal rose.
Because of the army scale, they had around a thousand people scouting around the area. Alex was a bit surprised by this number too, so he immediately summoned Greg, Anya, Vera, and Artur.
"We know the situation. Our targets are those soldiers, right?" Anya immediately asked.
"Can you fight, Anya?" Alex asked.
"Well, I don"t have a powerful move like the others, but I can swing my staff around. Since the opponents are not really powerful, I can deal with them." Anya nodded.
"..." Alex paused a bit before he said, "You are going together with me."
Anya was surprised by his order. Even though she was tempted to do it, she ultimately shook her head. "I know you are worried, but don"t underestimate me. I can still fight, and we five need to kill all of them somehow."
Alex shook his head. He summoned Wright, Salijan, and Limao. "You three are going to help us with this."
The trio nodded their heads. Alex then turned to Njomo, "You and Ngina will go scout around the area and make sure no one approaches the core of the arrays."
Njomo nodded and disappeared.
Alex then turned to his spirits. "Alright, we are going to attack them now!"
Anya did not raise any objection again and moved together with him. Even Sherry and Kyle came out of his body as they roared.
Alex and Anya met their first group. It was a group of fifty people, and a group of people from inside the barrier were trying to talk to them.
"Look! There are two people!" One of them noticed Alex.
Alex did not say anything as he took out twenty swords from his s.p.a.ce Ring and started ma.s.sacring those people. Of course, Anya also helped him, but she only got three people while Alex killed the rest. He then looked at the people inside the barrier.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
"Who are you?!"
"Do you know who we are?!"
"Release this barrier at once!"
They were raging inside the array. Alex stopped for a bit and looked at them without any expression.
"Alex?" Anya looked at him, confused.
Alex waved his hand as a Phoenix flew out of his hand. Just right before the phoenix would hit the barrier, Alex made a portal using his Spatial Gate and connected it to the inside.
"Boom!" The people were taken aback by this and died by the explosion.
Alex just thought of another strategy to make a ruckus inside.
"Alex, you are not thinking about making a ruckus by sending all your attacks and might be others attacks too, right?" Anya asked with a complicated expression.
"Ahaha…" Alex scratched his cheek, embarra.s.sed.
"You can"t do that, you know. After all, we need to clear the people outside the barrier first." Anya said while Alex only sighed. She then continued with a smug smile, "Well, after that, you are free to do whatever you want! We might even be able to kill a bunch of them."
Alex smirked as he gave a thumb up to her. They then started going again. Of course, he knew he could do something like this with the sixty thousand disciples from his side, but it was not worth it as he needed to reveal his s.p.a.ce Element to them. So, he was planning to do it before the people from Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect came.
After a while, they had cleared the people since they did not have that high cultivation which he could kill pretty easily.
And after a bit longer, the people led by Letizia came and dropped their jaws.
