Chapter 709 The Great Elven War [Pt 5]

[A Few Moments Earlier]

"Looks like the plan is working, and Adrien is keeping to his end of the deal."

U'riah was the first to speak up after all three Generals keenly watched the footage that was displayed before them.

The semi-transparent holographic screen before them—similar to a Status Window in certain regards—showed the implementation of their strategy in real time.

As the Undead attacked from the front, their Dragon Army, led by Adrien, would come from behind.

Then, there were also the Commanders who would emerge from both flanks. No matter how one sliced it, the Elves were bound to be overwhelmed by the sheer size of the assaulting army, as well as the many angles they were attacking from.

"Spatial Magic sure is useful..." R'azak commented, chuckling to himself as he caught glimpses of Rey and Adrien commencing their battle.

"So that's the benefactor of the Elves..."

All went silent as the voice of C'ephas echoed among them. They could sense the rising tension in the space where they floated.

The intensity was so palpable that they could almost taste it.

"I want to fight him."

The two other Generals—R'azak and U'riah—stared at each other and slightly shook their heads.

"Adrien is taking care of that." The latter of them said with a sigh.

"If you want to face him, then maybe we should wrap things up early here. What do you say to that?"

The moment C'ephas heard this, he brightened up just like a child.

"Alright! Let's do this!" He grinned maleficently.

Relief spread on the faces of his colleagues at that point.

"Before we start anything, though... we should report this to the Lord. It's a new finding, after all." U'riah added, to which R'azak agreed with, but C'ephas groaned about.

"Can't we wait until we return?"

"You know how our Lord can be sometimes. Let's just get it over with now." U'riah said with a somewhat exhausted face.

They hadn't even begun their mission and he was already feeling drained.

"I agree with U'riah." Thankfully, R'azak backed him up.

As crazy as Ce'phas was, he usually respected their joint decisions. This time appeared to be no different.

"Tch... fine, fine..."

As U'riah used his communication device to connect to their superior, R'azak and Ce'phas kept watching the thunderous fight between Adrien and the one known as Rey.

Their display of swordsmanship skills and raw power felt unbelievable for humans. It even caused R'azak to get chills in his body.

It's Area Of Effect ranged from 500 Meters to 5,000 Meters, depending on how much energy was put into its activation.

And so, just because he could, R'azak set it to the maximum.

~RUMBLE!~

It descended only a second after activation.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!~

The flow of electrical currents rebounded loudly, as if signalling the demise of the unsuspecting Elves.

They would all be dead before they even heard the sound of the thing that would kill them.

It was too late.

~FSHIIIIIII~

The rush of crimson lightning scattered just as it was about to reach the point of impact, which would have caused the devastation to spread far and wide within the community.

At the very least, a third of the land would have become completely pulverised.

But... the attack never landed.

"A barrier... huh?" R'azak commented, his eyes wide open as he witnessed a transparent foil of energy being unwrapped after the strike of his Skill.

"Seems It could only handle one of your Skill, but still... impressive." U'riah mumbled, observing as the rest of the barrier dissolved into thin air.

"Yeah. But who could have been fast enough to—"

"It must have been set up preemptively. Probably in preparation for a surprise attack like this."

"Yeah... yeah, I get it." R'azak appeared disappointed, and rightfully so.

The good news for the Generals was that, since the pesky defense was gone, they could finally attack the Community with full force.

The bad news, however, was...

"Here they come."

... They had lost the element of surprise.
