Chapter 375: 375



In Sector 11's General Board Room, the atmosphere seemed heavy due to the tension.

A woman with her silver hair cascading like a waterfall of steel, sat behind a massive oak desk. Her eyes, sharp and cold, bore into the four commanders seated before her.

Mac, Cameron, Irina, and the newest addition, Jarek, bowed their heads under her gaze.

Each was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation.

Mac's usual bravado was absent, replaced by an uneasy fidgeting of his fingers. Cameron shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting to avoid General Liara's penetrating stare. Irina, often the most composed, had a strained expression that betrayed her inner turmoil.

Jarek, the newest to the team, looked particularly unworried but inside he was cursing around. 'Why the hell am I standing here when I was not even present? I tagged along with you, General?'

'Also what the hell happened for her to be so angry as soon as she returned?

Liara's voice was laced with a biting edge as she spoke, her words cutting through the air like shards of glass.

"The boy said he would go to explore the land beyond the border and you just let him go?"

"What can we do? Do you think he listens to us?"Mac answered bluntly.

"Shut up...And don't enter here with that foul smoking mouth."Liara chided.

"But you called me," Max replied innocently.

A thick vein bulged over Liara's forehead and she decided to ignore the bastard.

"Leon asked to leave, and you just let him go? Are you out of your mind?"

Cameron, trying to salvage the situation, stammered, "We thought it was best to let him... to avoid further conflict."

Mac, catching his breath, added, "You know how he is, always on edge. We didn't want to provoke him further."

Irina gave the two a threatening glare as if asking.

What do you mean by he was on edge?

Do you two want to get beaten?

Mac and Cameron shivered from Irina's frost gaze and looked away.

Jarek, trying to make his voice heard, chimed in hesitantly, "Ahem!"

"Who is Leon, that we are discussing?"

Hearing this everyone gave him a befuddled look. Even Liara cast an incredulous gaze making Jarek lower your his head.

With a sudden burst, he unleashed a powerful wave of force. The impact shattered the crystalline blockade, sending shards scattering and creating a gaping hole.

As the dust settled, Leon and Hella pushed through the newly created opening. The cavern beyond was filled with the remaining black worms, their numbers still formidable despite

Hella's previous efforts.

Leon's approach was methodical and precise.

If there was no way, create a way. There was nothing that can't be broken by brute force and

violence.

As he pressed forward, he saw that the energy he had absorbed from the border had caused significant damage to the surroundings. The sheer scale of the destruction continued to

astonish him.

With the crystal blockade behind them, Leon and Hella navigated through the wreckage and chaos. The sound of the worms' shrieks and the lingering scent of decay filled the air as they

continued deeper into the underground labyrinth.

Various worms started to pour out from here and there.

"Just from here the fuck are they appearing from?"

Soon, he found the answer.

The energy crystal can be opened by a worm with a crystal on its back.It was key to move the

crystal however the ghosts he summoned couldn't seem to do this.

Maybe because they lacked a life force or something. However, he didn't care as he had his

own way.

"Blast...Blast...Everything in the way."

Leon's thoughts raced as he wondered about the extent of the damage caused by his energy

blast.

The cavern's instability and the ever-present threat of collapse were now pressing concerns. He knew they had to move quickly to avoid being trapped or buried alive.

Hella glanced at Leon, her eyes reflecting concern as they showed the underground place collapsing. "Master needs to keep moving. The path is clear for now, but we can't stay here for

long."

Leon nodded, his focus fixed on the path ahead. He recalled his troops and ordered them to blast everything on sight.
