Chapter 416 Not alone though
The entire Coexis was buzzing with preparations for the war. The three middle-aged kings and the young elven queen, who declared war, wasted no time and left the scene to fulfill their responsibilities as the leaders of the continent.
Not just them, all the elder figures from each race spread out. Their first goal was to gather the trained royal armies, and their second goal was to announce to the public that anyone with the strength to fight for the continent could join the war. In return, if anything happened to them during the war, their families would be given enough to live comfortable lives.
Kyle watched the busy scene in front of him. Yon and the other guardians of the tower were working hard to finish building the round structure as quickly as possible. The same structure that would enclose the entire continent in a dome-like barrier.
He glanced up at the darkened sky above him and then turned to Bia, who had agreed to draw the array on her body. But he knew it would be painful, so he quickly went to Nine, who was the only one left with him after all their friends scattered to complete the tasks given to them by the four leaders of the Continent.
It was pretty strange that nobody asked Kyle to do anything, even though he was also named as a young guardian of Coexis by Istalian. But maybe they knew he wouldn't be very helpful in assembling the army.
Nine gazed at Kyle, who had arrived beside him quietly.
"What's up? Are you getting bored? Don't worry, soon you'll be the one fighting on the front lines, haha!"
Kyle rolled his eyes.
"I'm leaving for a while because I need to do something. If anything happens, contact me."
Nine nodded and waved his hand to shoo him away.
"Go, go! I'm leaving as well because I need to check on the people I brought. I will give your communication crystal coordinates to Yon so he can contact you directly if he needs help... Just make sure to come back on time."
Kyle gave him a pat on his shoulder and started floating. In the next moment, he created a portal in mid-air. Bia flapped her wings and entered the portal, with Kyle following suit. Behind them, the portal broke apart into tiny particles that disappeared into thin air.
In the next second, the duo found themselves above a forest far away from the Continent. Kyle asked Bia to change into her phoenix form. Crimson flames spread out in all directions as Bia spread her wings to change her form.
He looked at Bia, who arrived beside him and softly patted one of her wings.
"It's done, the symbols. Also, the array on your body will activate on its own, so you don't need to do anything..."
Kyle paused, and his lips curved upward.
"You know what you need to do next, right? Now you can vaguely feel my presence again because our bond has gotten stronger in just a few days. So, find me once you're done."
Bia let out an evil cackle and flapped her wings as she dove towards the forest below.
-"Don't you dare start the war without me. I'll be back in no time! Haha, not alone though!"
Her loud voice echoed in Kyle's ears as he turned to look in the distance, where the enemies were gathering.
"It's true that extra precautions won't hurt, but right now my heart is hurting because the treasures I collected after so much struggle are all going to disappear..."
He grumbled and vanished into the distance, only to reappear above the remnants of the former Kingdom Escalante.
"So, they're really gathering on the western side...? I can smell countless disgusting scents in the distance. The fight with the divine-rank individuals is going to be very hard."
Kyle flicked his thumb with his middle fingers, and countless bright, flickering symbols appeared around him. They were ordinary low-rank symbols used to attack the opponents that anyone could draw with little knowledge about arrays. As time passed, the number of symbols around him increased, causing the air to contract and tremble under the pressure.
He closed his eyes and started stacking the symbols on top of each other. Initially, the symbols were violent, but they calmed down as he got the hang of it.
If only Han could see what he was doing right now, the old man would have fainted from horror and shock.
These symbols may be low-rank, but the way Kyle was stacking so many together in such a small space, despite their violent aura and potential danger, would create a devastating end product. That could easily take down even an (SSS+)-Rank individual. And to make the symbols even more dangerous, Kyle supplied his own divine energy to them.
