Chapter 1650 Chapter 1468: Baited

Alex carried Lisa in his embrace as he strolled down the corridor. Meanwhile, Margareth and the others were still engrossed in their tasks.

Upon reaching the destination, Alex and Lemisa observed Margareth, drenched in perspiration, setting up the Plane Destruction Bomb. After deliberation, they had decided to utilize the Dark Hall in the Dali Kingdom's Palace as the central point for the explosion. At that moment, Margareth, alongside Little Blue and the rest of the team, diligently worked on the final installation.

The Dark Hall was revered as a sacred space within the Dali Kingdom, hosting events such as national day celebrations and the Dark Dragon's inheritance ceremony. Consequently, every corner of the magnificent hall, capable of accommodating 10,000 individuals, exuded extravagant embellishments. Marble tiles adorned the floor, and a vibrant red carpet added a touch of opulence. The hall's grandeur was further accentuated by shimmering crystal chandeliers and eerie, black obsidian sculptures. Within the hall's sanctified ambiance, the weight of the air alone was enough to leave one breathless.

However, its previous splendor was now a thing of the past.

As Alex observed the disassembled and disheveled Dark Hall, he couldn't help but express his dismay. The once solemn hall had been reduced to an unrecognizable state. The thick, luxurious red carpet lay torn and discarded, while the intricate sculptures were shattered into fragments. Crystal chandeliers that once adorned the ceiling now lay on the ground, their pieces scattered. Amidst the wreckage, Margareth diligently arranged the Plane Destruction Bomb, devoting her complete attention to the task.

"Ah, Boss," Little Blue suddenly exclaimed upon spotting Alex's arrival. Casting a cautious glance at Margareth, she approached Alex silently.

"How is Margareth progressing? And what's the status of the barrier outside?" Alex inquired softly after carefully placing Lisa on a nearby bench, allowing her to regain her strength after consuming numerous mana recovery potions. Although it was left unspoken, everyone instinctively kept their distance from Margareth, mindful of the perilous nature of her task. A single startle for her could potentially bring Mini Bubble Gum's ominous premonitions to life.

"Big Sister Margareth is doing well. I was initially worried, but she's been extremely focused on completing her mission. The progress is steady and already halfway done. As for the situation outside, we're in good hands with Maggie and Big Sister Scarlet in charge. They encountered some ambushes from Chaos creatures earlier, but they managed to drive them away, thanks to Big Sister Margareth's potions. Now that they've regained their strength, our defenses have been holding up without any further issues." Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

The steel walls of the city trembled. The sky filled with deafening sonic booms, overpowering the sounds of battle. The chaotic creatures, which had been swarming towards the city, came to a halt, their curiosity piqued by the trembling walls. They watched as trails of white steam burst forth from the gaps in the walls. Suddenly, iron plates flipped open, and enormous triangular pyramids emerged, radiating a cold, malevolent glow. The steam intensified, creating an ominous atmosphere.

Boom!

It was like a thunderclap. Iron plates shot out from the bottom of the walls, smashing into the pile of corpses like a powerful bulldozer. Lightning flashed and connected, illuminating the city walls in a dazzling display. In an instant, the chaotic creatures were reduced to dust, unable to retaliate. The piles of corpses vanished, and the faltering defense line transformed into an impenetrable fortress. The flickering lightning bolts formed a deadly barrier, obliterating any intruders.

"This... This is..." Bahamut's clone stared in astonishment. He hadn't expected the enemy to possess such power. But it also meant that they were on the brink of defeat. They had no choice but to unleash their trump card. It was clear they couldn't hold on much longer.

"In that case, I shall send them to their demise!"

Bahamut's clone could feel the surge of excitement and impatience coursing through him as he tightly clenched his fists and fixed his gaze straight ahead.

"Advance! Push forward! Annihilate them all!"

The Chaos creatures showed no signs of slowing down as they relentlessly flooded towards the city walls, heedless of the danger they faced.

Unbeknownst to Bahamut's clone, Madeline stood resolute atop the fortified walls, her hand reaching out to flip open the weighty tome held in her other hand.

With careful precision, she ran her finger along a page adorned with a myriad of intricate runes and sigils. The dense text held a wealth of knowledge waiting to be unleashed.
