Chapter 492 Baited

Fifty minutes had passed since the battle began, and while many unavoidable casualties were suffered on both sides, the expedition members were dominating the battlefield.

Besides the appearance of the Monarch of the Putrid Swamp, a Toad Beastmen, a figure who had some history with the Domain, the only other surprising thing was the sudden appearance of two Chaos Generals.

The Cult brought out two Chaos Generals minutes into the battle, who seemed to be under the effects of something, making them go on a rampage, not caring if it was a friend or a foe, and even though they were far from their peak, each one could take on multiple Elemental Rulers.

Their bodies radiated with the element of chaos, shrugging off most attacks by the armor of twisted fabric of space clung to their bodies while they created uncontrolled anomalous catastrophes.

They were causing a lot of destruction but were quickly immobilized by Zanthean, The Human Saint, who was one of the strongest on the field.

The Expedition forces outnumbered the Cult and the Eldravian Empire Forces, but their focus was to keep them at bay and not kill them because each death was more fuel for the life-siphoning array.

After forty-five grueling minutes, which were enough to turn the once majestic capital city into a pile of rubles with even the Royal palace remaining barely standing, the bad news came.

'Never expected it to be so seamless,' Alex thought as he cursed under his breath.

Tauricus was finally able to break the last of the barrier and reach the four creatures, and as he was expecting, one of the four conduit crystals was fake.

Tauricus informed Elders and others before he swiftly left the area in search of the last remaining crystal, knowing no matter how well it was hidden, it should be giving off a massive signal sooner or later.

Alex's anxiety level was growing with each passing moment, as he could do nothing but wait and hope for the best outcome.

In that small window, the hundreds of burning suns began to descend at an alarming speed before they began to explode, creating a chain of explosions that sent a shock and noise so high-pitched that the cameras capturing the video in tens of kilometers were all destroyed.

The live stream returned from a different bird's-eye view, showing the frozen expanse that covered the skies above the capital city, with exploding suns frozen inside of it, like they remained captured in time.

The expense of ice broke apart before dissipating into nothingness, and in that small window, the camera angles also returned to normal, but a lot had changed in the city.

The four commanders who were in chains a second ago were now free, and their bodies were visibly growing as the city rang with their roars, but even that ended a moment later as ice completely engulfed them and surrounded tens of meters.

The two enemy Monarchs vanished amidst this chaos, and so did almost all of the individuals who were not immobilized, leaving behind only a section of the two forces.

"The bad fellas are leaving," "This could be our chance to rescue everyone," Sophia said, a glimmer of hope lighting up her eyes.

"No, it's too dangerous," Sparkles said, clearly understanding the risk.

"Sparkles, I can wield your strength to swop in, make contract with all six of them, and then quickly flee into the Chaos Plain,"

"You remained the one who told me if the opportunity presented itself, then I would need to act, and this is the best chance that we will have," Sophia said, with clear frustration in her tone.

"My Queen, it is too dangerous, as this very well could be a trap," Sparkles said, not willing to take the chance no matter how easy the task appeared.

"I will need Seven servants of your level to gain complete access the Chaos Plain, the place needed for you fellas to recover your strength, and if we miss this chance, all of them could die,"

"If that happens, we will need to locate and strike the places on other continents, which could take months, and in that time, every major strength would be looking for us," "So we are going to save them, and if something does go wrong, then I can always escape," Sophia said, and it seemed like she had no plans of hearing a no as an answer.
