Chapter 431: The Interceptor



Northern stood and watched the disaster from the top of his mother's chamber, his expression carrying a mood of intense anger.

He expected that she was going to do this, but that was before things had progressed to this level.

Besides, standing here and watching as people perished with screams and cries in the flood made everything seem wrong.

All that the young girl had done was nothing short of devilish, carnal, and evil. These people didn't deserve so much cruelty.

He boiled with searing hot anger as he watched. Probably if the people were watching this, they'd also feel so much hate for themselves.

It was understandable that they would do anything to go back home, but a disaster of this level is morally unfair and unacceptable by common sense.

Northern washed down his face with his hand. Currently, the palace was trying to evacuate as many people as they could into the main palace building.

Northern had no idea why the main building, which sat like a pyramid, was their choice, but he guessed that these people had some kind of plan in motion.

After all, the evacuation was being handled by the Tower Sage himself.

However, he hadn't heard anything from the Emperor.

'Jeci had said that he was in solitary training; perhaps he won't come out,' Northern thought subtly as he scanned the surroundings with a calm gaze.

Afar, the nobles and soldiers were still fighting to hold the water, but it was only a matter of time before their barriers came crashing down.

Northern sighed. "Looks like I have no choice."

He was about to leap off the roof when he looked down. Someone was running towards him. He narrowed his eyes. "Jeci?"

She maneuvered her way to the top of the building, jumping almost like a monkey, even with a spear in one of her hands.

She landed on the slanted rooftop and bowed to Northern before standing up and glaring into his eyes.

"Why did you have to do that?"

Northern smiled a little, hoping to surpass her anger with his pretty smile, and then he said, "I'm sorry, Jeci. I just wanted to see my mother, I guess."

Jeci glared more, but with such honest words from Northern, she couldn't stay angry for long.

"Dude, just run along. You just wasted more time talking than I did," the other responded and ran into the next building.

Unseen by anyone, pitch-black whirlpools began to appear in the depths of the water.

And from the depth of the water, a strong force began to suck in the flood.

At once, the nobles noticed the reduction in the force of the water and quickly looked at each

other.

When they all came out to fight, their intention was only to hold long enough until most of their families had been evacuated.

"Looks like the Stellar Array has not abandoned us."

They said one to another and began to push back with the barrier. The realization that they just might survive fueled their muscles with strength and their souls with essence.

Northern watched as they all fought back with amazing strength.

A second later, he moved his gaze to the water that was slowly beginning to reduce, pouring into the Limitless Void.

He had opened up a path to the mountains in the Limitless Void and created several gateways, but instead of creating them as normal rifts in space, he used his small authority over the Void to formulate a pulling force.

The nature of the water's depth also made it easy, along with his familiarity with ligatures

and Chaos constructs.

All in all, everything he had learned by experience came to play out usefully in saving the

Luinngard Empire.

Northern smiled, pleased as the water began to reduce considerably.

Suddenly, he swung his face to the side. Before he could register anything coming, he was

struck.

Northern felt all the muscles in his body tear apart, but they were forcibly held together by the Void in him and Chaos Thread.

He helplessly flew away from the hammer-like attack without even seeing his attacker yet.
