Uriel looked deeply at Vishnu"s back figure before turning his head away. He then glanced at his men who were waiting for his command. He saw that everyone of them was silently watching him while waiting for him to speak.
"Let"s return and regroup with Warwolf and his team." He left the scene, Vishnu"s men and Uriel"s men followed behind him. The local soldiers also followed after them.
After they left, the epic battle between two Divine-Cla.s.s level fighters started. They left afterimages as they clashed and when their punches and kicks met, a huge shockwave will be created.
The fighting above the sky also continued. The fighter drones and China"s military aircrafts fired shots at each other.
"Booom!"
"Baang!"
"Booom!"
"Baang!"
Loud explosions reverberated above the sky. The buildings and houses down below were already in ruins. The former majestic city now looked like the edge of h.e.l.l.
Cale rubbed his aching temples and his eyebrows were frowning deeply.
"It shouldn"t be like this. Think! Think! Think!"
Cale"s eyes flashed for a moment.
"How did I not think about that? I can just kill their leaders and then slowly kill the rest. If an army doesn"t have a leader, they will be like a pile of loose sand."
He then called Brogen and Atlas to come inside his room. Two gigantic men came inside his room. They glanced at Cale and respectfully bowed their heads.
"How fast time flies by. Two years ago, I was still stronger than his lords.h.i.+p, but now..."
Brogen stared at the silver-haired man wearing a wolf mask reverently. He thought that maybe Cale would really be able to kill that Immortal-Cla.s.s demon...
"Brogen, you stay here and protect the tower. As for you Atlas, you will be stationed in the Earth Alliance Academy. Protect your designated stations at all costs and during your idle time, try breaking through towards the Saint-Cla.s.s level.
Brogen, you will stay here in the tower with Zero. Most of our personnel are here and also all of the important information and equipment, so make sure nothing goes wrong.
Atlas, the dwarven manufacturing plant was created within the Earth Alliance Academy"s territory. It is of paramount importance because it is where we build our weapons.
And don"t worry, the old doctor is also there to a.s.sist you when an attack will happen."
That"s it, I will go now."
Cale vanished from where he stood and teleported outside of the tower. He used spatial elements to teleport. He had already gained a bit of understanding about his elements and he had no problems using them.
He glanced at the majestic tower that he had built together with his loyal servants and smiled unconsciously. He produced a heavy sigh before flying at a certain location.
Using the element of wind, he can fly as fast as a plane. And it does not consume much of his energy except if he wants to fly faster than that.
"Now, how could I make their leader come out?" Cale asked himself and thought deeply. A crazy idea suddenly surfaced inside his head and he could not help but chuckle softly.
He consumed the surrounding elemental essence unscrupulously. His wild consumption of elemental essence created a vortex of invisible energy, but no one could feel it except two individuals who were currently talking about their plans.
"What the h.e.l.l?! That guy is crazy! Does he have a death wish?! He will explode after taking in that much elemental essence..." Faramis was stunned at the disturbance created by Cale. Demon Saint Muchen who was beside him was also surprised. There was actually such a crazy Saint here on Earth.
"Looks like he wanted to die. Then it will be much easier for us..." Commander Faramis chuckled eerily and ignored the disturbance on the elemental essence around them.
Although they were far from Cale, the elemental essence around them was slowly converging on Cale"s location.
They thought that Cale was going crazy and wanted to die, but the vortex of elemental essence became stronger and stronger. The elemental essence around them was also thinning at a very fast rate of time. And after several hours, Cale"s crazy consumption still did not stop.
"s.h.i.+t! What the h.e.l.l is happening?! He should have exploded earlier!" Commander Faramis stood up and flew above the sky. Demon Saint Muchen followed behind him. They peered at a certain location and flew towards the eye of the vortex. Their faces were dark. If Cale continued what he was doing, then the elemental essence on Earth would be consumed and it will take some time before it regenerates again. They should stop this fool or they would not be able to replenish the energy that they had expended.
Meanwhile, in the eye of the vortex, a masked man can be seen floating nonchalantly above the sky. His silver eyes were looking at a certain direction and his lips curved up to form a faint smile.
"Asteria, are you done with the conversion?" He spoke to the small fairy floating beside him.
"Conversion complete, I will turn this into a Superior Elemental Essence Bundle that you can consume safely," Asteria spoke in a child-like voice, but her usual aloofness was still there.
Asteria is capable of changing her appearance into that of a fairy and a human, and then she was also capable of masking her presence to anyone as long as they were not significantly stronger than Cale.
"What... That much elemental essence was only equivalent to one Superior Elemental Essence Bundle? You"re not kidding me right, Asteria?" Cale glanced at the small hand-sized fairy floating in front of him gracefully. The latter merely frowned and did not bother to reply.
Cale awkwardly smiled while patting the small head of Asteria. "They will be here in an hour."
"Asteria, do I still have time to consume this Superior Elemental Essence Bundle before their arrival?" Cale asked Asteria.
Asteria thought for a moment before nodding her head in response. "Yes, you still have time before they arrive."
"Great!" Cale smiled and took a small bead-like item inside his storage s.p.a.ce. It was soft when he touched it. The feeling was similar when you pinch a stress ball.
A wave of fragrant aroma invaded his nostrils. He greedily inhaled the air with his eyes closed. He then swallowed the bead-like Superior Elemental Essence Bundle.
A burst of energy invaded his body gently. It was like he was floating in a sea of cotton candy. All the pores inside his body opened in full and greedily sucked in the surrounding elemental essence while he digested the pure energy contained inside the Superior Elemental Essence Bundle.
His Saintly aura stabilized even further and became even more solid. He clenched his fists tightly which produced crackling sounds. Although his cultivation did not achieve a leap, his aura became more solid. It felt like he was a Saint for more than several decades already.
He opened his eyes slowly and checked the condition of his body. He felt every fiber of his body increase in power. He smiled and crossed his arms on his chest while looking at the two figures moving towards him at a very fast speed.
Saint Commander Faramis and Demon Saint Muchen stopped in their tracks and floated one thousand meters away from a man wearing a very eye-catching wolf mask. His silver hair fluttered elegantly as the wind blew ceaselessly. The two parties continued staring at each other while sensing the other party"s strength.
"Asteria, can I win against them using the Energy Guns?" Cale spoke inside his head while smiling faintly at the two distant figures.
"No, the energy guns and laser guns will be ineffective against a Saint-Cla.s.s level fighter. I recommend buying a Saint-Cla.s.s level sword." Asteria"s loli voice resounded inside his head.
"Hmm okay, can I afford one with all the Black Coins that I had saved up until this point?" Cale thought it was a pity that he could no longer wield his best weapon, but he was also skilled in using other weapons, so he did not really mind that much.
"Yes, it"s more than enough to buy eight Saint-Cla.s.s level weapons."
"Oh okay, give me the best sword, the best armor, and the best s.h.i.+eld. It would be good if it is a set." Cale thought briefly before speaking telepathically with Asteria.
"There is a set, but it has four Saint-Cla.s.s level items. I recommend buying this. Your chances of victory will multiply by several times.
"Sure, I should buy everything that could help humanity win in this war. Confirm purchase, Asteria." Cale spoke confidently.
"Understood."
A series of prompts appeared in front of him.
- Void Wolf Immortal Sword (Saint Level)
- Void Wolf Immortal Armor (Saint Level)
- Void Wolf Immortal s.h.i.+eld (Saint Level)
- Void Wolf Immortal Wings (Saint Level)
"Cale, this set of equipment is a growth-type. Meaning, it will grow stronger as you grow stronger. Do you wish to equip it?" Asteria mysteriously said.
Cale nodded his head. His body was enveloped by a bright light that made Faramis and Muchen blink for half a second. They were shocked after they opened their eyes.
In front of them was a man wearing a full-body black and gold medieval armor with a futuristic feel. A golden wolf was engraved at the center of the armor. Behind him was a black cape with a howling golden wolf head drawn on it. A burning pair of evil-looking wings can also be seen attached to his shoulder blades. On his right hand was a menacing black sword with archaic carvings. And on his left hand was a s.h.i.+eld with a strange shape similar to a crab"s pincers. A wolf head was also engraved at the center of the s.h.i.+eld.
This was the full set of the Void Wolf Immortal set. It gave off a terrorizing aura that would make any mortals kneel down in fear.
Cale"s current look was similar to that of an evil war G.o.d who was hungry for blood. His facial features were now covered by a ferocious wolf head.
"I have been waiting for you two to arrive." Cale"s voice also changed. It now sounded threatening and malicious.
