Chapter 1490 The Portal Finally Appeared

I kept moving forward for five hours before I saw the early batches of the incoming forces. The enemy would never stop sending troops here. And I'd never stop sucking them dry!

I didn't use much bones for the upcoming hours. The cube's radius was always limited to one thousand miles at most, clearing all the enemies in that region.

After flying and doing this for five more hours, I finally reached a spot that needed me to move around, circling around this entire zone, clearing the enemy forces fast using my cube.

The cube would take five minutes to suck any living soul inside the one thousand miles radius. It might seem a losing bargain, especially when only double this time would let it cover tens of thousands of miles, but it was still profitable in regard to my bone consumption.

One hour passed, five hours, ten, twenty… I kept doing this forever until all of sudden, the entire world around me trembled.

"Is it time?" I paused in my tracks, looked back towards the direction that the rumbling noise came from, "or is it the first disaster befalling?"

To make sure my forces here would stay protected, I laid out many shields, merging them together, enveloping a grand circular area, isolating my forces inside from the enemies outside.

Doing this would ensure my forces safety in this zone, protecting the portal from any threat coming from the first disaster.

If I got lucky enough, secured the ongoing battle out there in the angelic world, then I could return back here and kill all the enemy portals in one go.

I tried to delve deeper before, but I didn't march too long before getting attacked and harassed by tons of flying enemies. I was forced to use my cube, even a few of my dark realm bones at some point to stop such annoying flies.

As for the clashes happening back, around the portal zone, between the enemy and my forces, I was sure they were heading smoother than before.

The clearance I kept doing to the enemy forces during the past hours, in addition to the grand activation of the full capacity of the cube helped my forces to secure lots of distance before the enemy arrived.

They didn't get more than a few hours to spread and defend the area cleared off any enemy forces until the enemy arrived.

And with the appearance of my circular bubble here, the enemy got stopped outside, mostly, with only worms getting through the shielded zone.

The enemy forces didn't stand idle, and kept following the worms which created tons of tunnels around my circular bubble. I used my bones to kill lots of troops heading inside the tunnels, but I knew many already passed through them.

And when that rumbling occurred, I stopped what I was doing, entrusting this battle to my forces and headed towards the direction of this ruckus.

After not seeing the entire world fall on my head, I knew this rumble came from the appearance of the angelic world entrance portal.

It was finally time, it was time to go and meet those angels, fulfilling the long request of the old man.

Old man… wherever you were, just watch how your little help back then would turn into a massive aid to your people!

Your people… They were going to get saved thanks to your actions back then. And to add more to it, they'd not know or hear about your name, the name of their true saviour as even I didn't know about it!

The name I knew about that old man was the old forteller, the one provided to me by the system. As for him, he never introduced himself more than using the same name the system provided.

If you asked me, he was the most mysterious character I ever met! Even Hilary wouldn't know who he was, as she didn't yet meet up with him in this life.

I flew my chariot as fast as I could towards the direction of that noise. I heaved a sigh of relief the moment I passed through my circular bubble zone, ending up inside the territory that got partially controlled by my forces.

However, the moment I arrived near it, I couldn't help but sigh.

"These bastards… They enveloped the portal with their annoying protective shield!"

I recognised that damn shield which protected their smaller portals before from my reach. This shield wasn't here before, and it seemed to get laid down and activated the moment it appeared.

Around the grand portal lay densely packed holes. They were the ones created by the worms, and it seemed tons of these worms kept hidden underground, roaming the place, looking for the spot where this portal would pop up.

The moment the portal appeared, the worms opened these holes, allowing an endless number of enemies to come out. At the same time, they laid such an annoying shield around the portal, sealing it from me.

These damn bastards… I wanted to kill them all!

I knew even if I sucked everyone in, and that was my first retaliation against them, that annoying shield wouldn't budge an inch.

After clearing the entire region from the enemy forces, I now have to deal with this impending problem.

I didn't waste more than an hour to cross back and arrive towards the portal. And yet in that hour, the enemy managed to form that shield, bringing tons of forces around to protect it.

After sucking everyone, more kept coming out from the holes as if they were water coming out from the ground. I shook my head, and started to release low grade dark realm bones, detonating everything inside these holes, sealing them forever.

I didn't want anyone or anything to interrupt my actions here. To deal with that shield, I had to do lots of things first.

The only way I knew about it was to use the offensive shields' ability to crush these shields. Previously I'd scatter around many bubbles, leave my warriors inside, attract the attention of locusts and enemies, store up damage, then unleash it.
