Chapter 1736 Numbers do not mean anything in front of absolute strength.
Silence fell over the room.
Simba and Riona both stared at Nux the moment the recording ended.
They saw the vision Nivrek shared with Arvin, they saw the abilities the Wraiths used, they saw how helpless even an Army from a Supreme World became in front of those monsters.
It would have been understandable if they had lost if the 10,000 Eternal Level Wraiths had participated, or if the beings who couldn't use their ability because of the environment had lost quickly and those Wraiths had overwhelmed them with numbers, but none of that happened. The Eternal Level Wraiths didn't move throughout the battle, not just that, even the Wraiths, who defeated their counter opponents, simply stood by and didn't attack anyone else, as if waiting for other Wraiths to defeat their respective opponents on their own.
It was as if the thought of them losing didn't even appear in their mind.
Their confidence wasn't unfounded either. Even the cultivators who cultivated Death Energy and were actually at their strongest inside Umbrasol were all overwhelmed by their opponent, and this included elites like Rudrasil.
At first, Rudrasil was holding on just fine. He even took out time to command his subordinates and lead the formations. However, the moment the Wraith facing him actually started attacking without holding back,
Things changed.
Once again, these Wraiths, in the environment, were nigh perfect-perfect damage dealers, perfect tanks, perfect assassins. Whether it was a long-ranged battle or a close-distanced one, it simply didn't matter. These Wraiths overpowered the elites of Supreme Worlds in all aspects.
It was honestly so despairing that even the Supreme World's elites gave in and stopped trying. After all, the result of the battle couldn't be any clearer.
A battle between 5000 Cultivators and 5000 Wraiths.
Result?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
5000 Cultivators died.
As for Wraiths... barely a hundred of them died, and that too because they were attacked by a higher-level opponent who decided to take down at least a few Wraiths before he died.
It was pretty much a one-sided massacre.
After the battle ended and the last warrior from the Supreme World fell, the vision shifted back to Arvin's, who was still running away and trying to leave this World.
Nux was curious. After all, if even the Supreme World failed, not many would have the gall to go there and sacrifice their lives in vain.
Simba was silent for a moment, then, he answered,
"Once the information was released, many mercenaries who ran after fame tried to complete the mission, but they all failed.
After around a thousand mercenaries died inside, people started hesitating.
They could tell that it was a suicide mission, but then,
One of the biggest. Mercenary Halls came up with another way.
Since they would face around 25,000 Wraiths in there, they decided to send 60,000 Elite
Mercenaries.
With advantage in numbers, they would definitely be able to clear the mission, but..."
"They all died:
Nux spoke.
Just seeing the video was enough for him to predict the result of the battle.
The Mercenaries, even if they were called 'Elites; were in the end, just that, Mercenaries. How could they be compared to Elites of Supreme Level Worlds?
If even Supreme Level World's army was overwhelmed by those Wraiths, how could mercenaries,
even if they had more numbers, compete?
Numbers do not mean anything in front of absolute strength.
