Chapter 1517 Retreating



There is Jean and there is Hikigaya. Even though they are far away they could still see what had happened to Kaiju.

Jean who saw this could not help but say

'What a weird sword'

Hikigaya who is now pacifying the world, changing reality to illusion also has his eyes on the end of the battle

He also saw that sword

And what he said was

'What a sharp sword'

Both of them did not expect the battle to end like this. In this matter, these two are like other people in the world.

They never thought that Katarina would make such an attack. And that attack to work. 

But unlike the rest of the people in the world, they see the tricks. Of course, to them it doesn't matter how she does it

What matters is that she did. 

'I don't think Death Monarch could get angry at her. If this is changed to other people, even if they could slash that sword…. they wouldn't. But because it is her…. because it is her…then it is fine' Jean muttered to himself. 

Then he chuckles a bit.

Most of the time, they care about the result more than the process.

But this time, the process is actually more important the result itself.,

Today, all of this hype, the publicity, the global broadcast, all of it is part of the process. 

The result would be the victory of the world power as a symbol of justice and good and the criminal underworld, the pirates, the Crime Alliance, all of those other illegal organizations as a symbol of evil and darkness. 

But to get to that result the process is important. 

The world needs to see that the dark forces of the world in this war could not win. To break their spirit and to break their strength

As long as people believe in the strength of the world powers, that alone would cut off the future recruitment of these forces. 

Of course, there is many other benefits. 

In the end, the process was what important. 

'Still…. he could still salvage this. After all he had shown so much' Hikigaya mutters to himself.

On the battle zone Kaiju did not look at Death Monarch. Instead, he looks around and then his gaze stops

Other people could not guess what Kaiju is looking at. In the eyes of these people, it looks like Kaiju is looking at the horizon

But Azief knows what Kaiju is looking at. He is looking at Katarina. 

Even though they are separated by tens of thousands of miles, with Katarina now on the island and him near the edge of the Turbulent Sea, his eyes could still see her. 

And his feeling right now is hard to describe. The best way to describe it…. stormy. His feeling is stormy

His expression is full of incredulousness. He saw that sword. And he felt that sword intent.

But he never thought that the sword could pierce his body. 

He did not know what to say because he did not know how to think of how this attack managed to pierce his body

And Katarina will not be generous and tell him how she managed to do that. 

The sword pierce through his chest and that is unbelievable enough. Then as he was about to pull out the sword, the sword turns into something cold, something sharp and lodged itself inside his energy stream

And he who felt like he was invincible, suddenly felt his strength sapping away and is powerless to fight any more

He felt like his energy is being frozen. It is there but it could not be mobilize. 

There is one question in his mind

And that is…. what kind of sword is this?

Azief could see the lost expression on Kaiju face. He knows how Katarina managed to lodge that sword into Kaiju body. 

It is also something that he could do. But he never chooses to do it that way because he has many other methods to restrain Kaiju.

But she has her thoughts and he has his. 

Katarina could not have known that he could handle Kaiju. 

Though, Azief must admit, that even with his plans, he was shocked that Kaiju could grow even stronger. And his strength has surpassed his most conservative estimate

But in the end, the conclusion could not be changed. 

Right now, Kaiju has shrink down to his normal size but he is still floating on the sky. And Azief also shrinks his body. 

He could see that Kaiju has reached the end of his strength and is powerless to fight any more

Before Kaiju body was filled with a huge aura, but that aura collapsed at an even more astonishing speed when that sword interrupted him gathering more energy

It is at this moment, the space around Azief suddenly spirals about and become distorted. 

Around a thousand such spirals appear in the sky, on the sea, on his left, on his right, behind him and in front of him

'Oh, finally you are all coming out!' Azief mutters, a smile on his face. The spectator however was shocked. 

'What is happening right now?' even those soldiers on the island were shocked by this sudden appearance of the spiral. 

And then coming out from these spirals are people

And all of these people are charging towards him. 

All of them shoots out their attack. 

A slash of the sword the piercing power of a spear, guns, cannons, bombs, torpedoes, missiles, magic.

The Heaven and Earth changes colors as all of these attack shot towards him, covering towards him from every direction

These are the last defense for Kaiju. These are the people of the Crime Alliance, the Pirates, the other criminal underworld forces.

Kaiju loses. And so, that means they lose. But they simply would not go peacefully.

IT would not be their way. And so, in this last moment, they attacked

Those people in the hidden dimension, in pocket dimension watching the battle.... not all of them are simply there to watch the battle and learn something

Most of them are agents, killers assassins, that were there to aid Kaiju

And now as Kaiju lost all of his energy, losing seems inevitable

In this case, the trident must not fall towards the hands of the world powers. 

They already sit on the most advantageous position. With the trident on their hands, they truly would control the world and no one else could stop this matter

If that really happens then today loss it permanent

Azief had known and even realizes them even while he was fighting Kaiju. 

But he did not even think of them because they did not even quality to be regarded as a threat to him.

Azief clicks his fingers and all of the attack was wiped out. It was like reality itself bends and all the attacks disappeared all of sudden.

'Die!' he said one word and like a law, thousands of people fall down from the sky and crashed into the sea

Those who are not near the battle site could not understand why with one word, Death Monarch could kill a person. 

But the moment he said Die, the forces of the world pressure those assassins to die. Their oxygen was cut off, their energy blocked, their body pressured. 

Of course, this could only be done when their power of rules is weak compared to the one casting such method

And clearly these assassin, even though many of them have Disk Formation realm power, most of their foundation is built upon weak pillars. 

They used pills or take shortcut. So, they could not even resist before dying meaninglessly. 

The forces of the Crime Alliance and the pirates could also see the writing on the wall

'Retreat!

'Retreat!

'Run!'

All over the island such orders could be heard. Many of them quickly fly away, burrows to the ground or go into the sea

The moment that Kaiju fell, it was over. There was no one else on the world that could contend with Death Monarch

The only other two people that could contend with Death Monarch is Jean and Hikigaya and those two are on the same camp.

It is stupid to even think about it

The fact that they are all united today, all shows the agreement of the great powers to stabilize the world. 

If even the common people could see this, how could those in the Crime Alliance the pirates, the killers, the assassins, those who lurks in the dark could not see it?

They could also see it. 

There are some people who are watching his in some secret places. 

They did not use the broadcast device nor they use any other viewing device to see ethe battle. 

Instead, they are watching it from a hidden position, hidden from the eyes of Death Monarch

And they all looked at Death Monarch with serious expression. They sit around a round table, 

A table that is red in color. 

This is the Red Table and sitting around it is the dark figures that control the criminal underworld all over the Ten Seas

All of them wears a mask. But everyone could tell that the expression under that mask would be a solemn one. 

There is no sound in the room, a tens silence

Just like Death Monarch, they could see that Kaiju has reached his limits. It is too late for him. 

In this fight, Death Monarch has consumed a lot of his energy and Kaiju also consumed a lot of his energy

But, in the end, Death Monarch still have a lot of energy. And Kaiju has been pierced by a sword. 

One of them sighed and leaned back on his throne

'Retreat. Tell them all to retreat'

This person said it with difficulty. This person wears a mask that looks like a monster. This person never comes to the Red Table meeting before. 

But now he is here. 

It is hard to know who he is and even if the people of the world saw this person, they would not know who he is. 

This person is only known to some people and most people that knows him are the people in the criminal underworld.

They did not even said each other names for fear that the moment their names is uttered someone could use some spell to deduce where they are. 

Many of the people on the Red Table today are people who never shows his face before. Usually, they would send their subordinate for this kind of stuff.

Today, however is very different. It would decide how the next few decades would be for the world

For a while the room was silent.

And then the other nodded.

Most of them closed their eyes and no longer pay attention to what is happening in the Turbulent Sea. After all, who would like to see themselves being defeated?
