Chapter 690 - "A Battle Between Landscape Manipulators"

In the end, Paul had to use all of his elite members and only then did some more members go past the yards and silently enter the Sloan Family's mansion either through the front gate or other hidden means. 

Still, Paul couldn't see what was going on inside the mansion, so he finally called his trump card, a landscape ability user under his family's banner. 

"Kale! Use your ability and wreck this territory. I don't care if you also uprooted the mansion or something! Or create an earthquake!" 

Kale's ability was definitely AOE and could influence the flow of the battle. 

Paul was confident that Kale could definitely change the battlefield's situation and tip the balance. 

However, when Kale showed signs of manipulating the landscape, Ainsley spoke to Becca through the Airpods. 

"Becca. It's your turn now. There's indeed a guy who can use landscape manipulation ability. Go and battle him. Don't let him manipulate even an inch of our land." 

"Roger, boss." 

Becca replied in a cold tone, typical of her characteristic. But despite her cold tone, Becca obeyed Ainsley's command. 

She immediately went to the rooftop, where many archers and shooters were gathering. 

Becca chose a team to protect her from a sudden air attack while looking at the troops beyond the Sloan Family's barrier. 

From this height, the crowds looked like ants crowding to eat some sugar cubes or something. It wasn't pleasant to the eye, but well– whatever. 

Becca focused her sight on Kale using special eyeglasses designed to function like a telescope. 

With the eyeglasses, Becca could immediately find Kale among the crowds down there. 

Many elites surrounded kale, and he kept moving his hands. The ground around him slowly changed, and it even almost disturbed the land behind the barrier. 

A pity...Kale hadn't even manipulated the ground that far when Becca interfered. She also manipulated the same land that Kale manipulated, instantly clashing her ability with Kale's. 

When two landscape manipulation ability users used their ability on the exact same area, it became a battle between ability users. 

Both sides felt their ability was getting restrained as if someone purposely hindered their movements. 

It was at that moment Kale realised there was another ability user with the exact same ability as his. 

How could Paul not know that Becca, one of the 9 generals, had this kind of ability? She's famous. Of course, he already knew. 

If Paul knew, Kale also knew. But it didn't mean he's not confident about going against Becca. 

One couldn't easily tell the opponent's strength level if they're not purposely showing off a certain skill, so this battle was really a gamble. 

There were five realms in the ability users' world, and the higher the realm, the stronger the ability. 

If a person with a lower realm strength clashed with someone with a higher realm strength when their ability was the same, it's not difficult to guess who would win, right? 

If the ability type was different, there's still a chance that the lower realm one could win based on their ability's uniqueness or the way they used it. 

But if it's the same type...the exact same…

There's no way out. 

The moment Kale sensed Becca's interruption, almost instantly, both sides could feel their opponent's true realm based on how fast they could manipulate the landscape, the range, the creativity, and so on. 

The area that they manipulated was actually the front yard, and now, the front yard's ground was already bulging, as if about to burst or get deformed. 

More and more abnormalities appeared, and it slowly touched the ground below the mansion's building. 

However, before it could go that far, the deformed grounds stopped and suddenly reverted to normal. But it wasn't the end. 

The ground outside of the wall and the barrier suddenly started to shake! The trees were being uprooted. 

The soils were deformed, forming holes here and there, small hills, and so on. 

Seeing this, the spectators instantly knew the winner of the silent battle. 

Who would it be other than Becca? 

The woman with her neat ponytail and her combat suit looked coldly at the ground beyond the barrier. 

She didn't utter even a single word, but the silence was deadlier than knives. Even the shooters and archers around her subconsciously shuddered. 

This is the power of the 9 generals. Just one of them is already this strong...no wonder the Sloan Family was once a part of the 7 sacred families. 

This generation's 9 generals were obviously different from the past's, but the family history said that the past generals were even more awesome than now. 

If this kind of ability was still way weaker...one couldn't imagine the generals in the past. 

Maybe the Ability Users' world was deteriorating with each generation becoming worse than the previous. 

At Becca's power display, Kale and Paul's faces turned pale. None of them spoke, but Kale already quietly withdrew his ability while sneaking to the rear. 

He couldn't help but curse Becca in his head. 

Damn it! I thought that I'm already awesome enough to enter the core-connecting realm at this age, still below 30. 

But Becca must have already created one energy line, unlike him who had just entered the core-connecting realm and the first energy line he created wasn't complete yet. 

Becca won by a small margin, but this small margin is really frustrating for Kale. After all, they both had the same ability type, ah! 

"Paul, I can't beat that woman. I'm out!" 

With Kale silently giving up, Paul had to change his tactic again. Seeing how most of his land and air troops were still held back outside of the barrier, he finally went for the extreme. 

Let's use biochemical weapons!
