Chapter 698: You have a goal?



A deafening explosion erupted in the dark expanse of space, resonating through the void as Ceano detonated another artifact, similar to the one he had triggered before. The sound reverberated, reaching the ears of many powerful individuals residing on the planets in the vicinity.

Kyle's figure was engulfed by the shockwaves since he was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. He believed they were going to engage in close combat when Ceano drew his weapon!

"This bastard!!"

He swore under his breath as he encased himself in ice armor before using instant teleportation to disappear from his spot.

His eyes glowed as he utilized nearly all his mental strength to slow down time again, causing the shockwaves approaching Bia to lose their momentum for a while.

The phoenix sustained some minor injuries, but fortunately, she successfully escaped through the portal he created behind her before incurring any serious harm.

Kyle spat out blood as he materialized in the distance. His eyes blazed with anger as he gazed at the vibrant light that contrasted sharply with the darkness of space.

The very fabric of space before him was distorted by the residual energy released from the explosion, creating ripples that spread through the surrounding area.

"The one who made the artifacts Ceano possessed, I swear I will end that person myself if I ever catch wind of them!"

He seized his spear and moved in front of Bia when he sensed an attack directed at her. A resounding metallic clang echoed in the air as Kyle's weapon collided with the curved blade held in Ceano's hand.

Both of them were flung backward from the force of their attacks, and Bia quickly moved aside just before Kyle crashed into her.

She noticed Ceano charging at Kyle once again and spread her flames everywhere to engulf both herself and Kyle in an effort to halt the shadow general's advance.

Kyle quickly steadied himself and gestured for Bia to disperse the flames. The golden warmth surrounding him scattered, and his eyes turned cold when he met the gaze of the man floating before him, who stared at him with a mocking gleam in his eyes, as if taunting him that he was insignificant now that there was no array to aid him. Kyle clenched his fists.

"So this is how you want to play, huh? Artifacts, let's see how many more you have got, because I will ensure you use every single one of them in this battle!"

Ceano ignored his words and scanned his body from head to toe. The elegant clothes the human wore for his wedding were now stained with his own blood.

Lost in his distraction, he failed to notice the darkness creeping into Kyle's eyes. Shaking his head, he sighed at the human.

"I wonder how your bride will react when she hears the news of your death? I should go and witness her tear-streaked face-!"

His words were abruptly interrupted, as he noticed the tip of the silver spear ominously approaching one of his eyes. But before the spear could reach its destination, his body instinctively moved back to avoid it.

Kyle's attack sliced through the air, and the impact caused the surroundings to tremble as he raised his gaze to stare at Ceano, who had fallen silent.

"So what were you saying?"

His voice resonated more powerfully than usual as he vanished toward the second shadow general and launched one more attack, this time with even greater force.

He vanished from his position as well, and the duo collided in the dark expanse.

The space around them quaked violently, unleashing sparks of electricity every time their attacks collided.

Shockwaves rippled through the air, creating thunderous roars as they engaged in an unrelenting barrage of strikes, striking at each other relentlessly without pause.

Ceano's eyes narrowed when, all of a sudden, Bia swooped into the battle. The phoenix

unleashed a torrent of golden flames upon him, and he couldn't believe that she could match the incredible speed he and Kyle were currently displaying!

His upper clothes were burned, and he sustained minor injuries from the flames, but he wanted to seize the moment and reach the phoenix, only to realize that she had already

departed the area.

He couldn't even follow her because Kyle engaged him in battle once more!

Bia halted in the distance, observing the battle with solemn eyes.

-"I believe we're going to win. The shadow generals haven't utilized any natural laws, which indicates he might not have learned any. If he doesn't use any more artifacts, Kyle should be

able to overpower him."

Her soul nearly leaped out of her body when an elderly voice sounded behind her.

"Ceano can use natural laws. He just hasn't used them yet."

Bia attacked in the direction of the voice, but her strike didn't connect with anyone since the

space behind her was empty.

She glanced around and was left speechless and shocked when she finally spotted the owner of the voice, who was very far away from her.

The voice belonged to an elderly demi-human seated on a floating chair in the distance, surrounded by a few other older individuals-two of whom were men of the human race, and

the last was a woman from the dragon race.

The elderly individuals were gathered around a round table, munching on seeds as they

watched Kyle and Ceano battle with intense focus. The demi-human glanced at Bia and offered her a grateful nod.

"Don't worry, we meant no harm. We were just drawn in by the explosions and came to watch

the battle after noticing that the dark race's planet, whose inhabitants have been at war with ours for the past hundred years, has been destroyed."

The others around him nodded in agreement, gratitude shining in their eyes as they glanced at Bia. After the last attack launched by the dark race, they had lost all hope of protecting their remaining alive people from the dark side. However, who could have imagined that the dark race's entire planet would be destroyed before they could fully conquer theirs?
