Chapter 1087 Being Right or Wrong
Kaboom!
A deafening roar shattered the silence as Kyran and Flunra failed to stop the Chaos Nova.
Upon breaking free from their energies, the arcane spell quickens.
Hurtling towards the army below, the torrent of chaos energy dyed the battlefield purple.
In that heart-stopping moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl—the ground began to quiver beneath their feet, a prelude to the impending cataclysm that threatened to engulf them all, leaving nothing but death and blood.
Despite Kyran's and Flunra's intervention, the Chaos Nova is still robust with power.
Half of its power was drained, but it was still an attack none of them could withstand.
Only the Elders of the high-rank Supernaturals or anyone nearing their realm could stop this arcane spell, but since there was none with that amount of power from Rex's forces—except for Kyran and Flunra, the Chaos Nova would decimate them.
Calidora was the one who was nearing their strength, but she couldn't do anything right now.
Moreover—Ryze and Adhara who were amongst the strongest could feel doubt encroaching.
None of the two were confident that they could stop this attack.
Even as the Chaos Nova loomed in the distance—thanks to Kyran and Flunra's valiant efforts granted them a precious window—they could feel the energy coming from it was pressing on them. Its advance felt akin to a scorching wave, threatening to overwhelm them entirely.
As it nears closer, the quake intensifies, shaking the very foundation of the battlefield.
Panic erupted among the ranks, and commanders were struggling to affirm their soldiers.
Additionally, there was nowhere to hide from the devastating spell.
Some of the mentally less fortified began to pound on the Human Army that was barricading the only way of escape, already fixing their ground with sturdy spells and techniques. It was clear that their formations were rock-solid, and couldn't be pushed back.
One spell from the Executor and the fate of the entire reinforcement army hangs uncertain.
One spell poised thousands on the precipice of annihilation.
Located at the very front near the Human Army's barricade was Adhara—she gazed directly at the incoming arcane spell with a thumping heart. She recalled that this spell was the spell the Executor had hit Rex with earlier.
Despite she could only see and feel it from afar, the sensation was the same.
Not to mention, she could also feel the pain Rex suffered.
It was a horrendous sensation that forced her to suppress her connection with Rex earlier.
Evelyn was the one who was stubborn enough to keep her connection intact.
Because of that, she screamed in pain earlier.
"Follow my lead, Ryze," Adhara uttered, sweating profusely. "We'll lead them to survival!"
Upon hearing this, Ryze nodded his head.
Despite the fear that was palpable in his expression, seeing death heading towards them—he gritted his teeth and flew above the army to brace for impact. If bravery was present in the direst of situations, then this is the perfect example.
Looking at the barricade of the Human Army, Adhara gritted her teeth.
Although she could pierce the barricade with the help of Ryze if she wanted to, there was no time to evacuate the entire army. Should she choose that decision—the consequence would be the loss of thousands upon thousands of Supernaturals.
It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that the entire reinforcement army would be wiped out.
All of their souls would be fed to the Abyss.
Such a thing couldn't be allowed to happen, so attempting to stop this attack is the only way.
"Haaarrghhh-!!"
Harnessing every last iota of her strength, depleting her mana and spirit energy to their very limits, Adhara summoned a colossal body of violet fire—enveloping the entire reinforcement army in its protective embrace.
Alongside it, the violet serpent coiled around the barrier of fire, infusing spirit energy.
One could see clearly that she was giving it her all.
Adhara and the others who were reinforcing the barrier coughed a mouthful of blood—their feet sunk into the ground from the push of the Chaos Nova. Not even three seconds passed and the barrier began to crack.
Some of the destructive chaos energy began to seep through, increasing the pressure.
In the midst of this clash, Adhara heard someone shout her name.
Glancing to the side—she realized that it was Evelyn who had her body completely shrouded in Luna energy, only her eyes could be visibly seen. She threw her Luna energy in the form of a rope towards Adhara.
Under Adhara's gaze, the Luna energy wrapped around her tightly with a warm sensation.
Following that, she could feel her power increasing rapidly.
Looking at the Luna energy, Adhara's eyebrows were raised in surprise.
'Since when does Evelyn's Luna energy provide this much enhancement?' She mused lightly.
Despite knowing the fact that Evelyn's presence was enhancing all of the Silverstar Pack members, Adhara never knew that it could reach this much. Although it was unclear, she could feel that her power had increased by 50%, and it was still climbing!
A suspicion instantly came into her mind as she felt this increase in power.
'Don't tell me, like Brigitta, she's evolving?!' Just as she expected, the pressure from death and war stimulated Evelyn's bloodline.
Out of the Silverstar Pack's inner members, Evelyn and Flunra were the only ones who hadn't evolved to their next bloodline stage. Since Flunra is relatively new—it was understandable— but Evelyn was not a new member.
She was the third, right after Kyran.
It hasn't really come to the others' minds, but it was true that Evelyn hasn't evolved.
Being constantly exposed to Rex's presence, and the stagnation of her evolution made it not that surprising for her to evolve right now. It was not a surprise that the prospect of death—stimulated her bloodline, catalyzing an early evolution.
Even though she was evolving, Evelyn forced herself to retain her consciousness and help.
Naturally, it puts a heavy toll on her body by doing this.
Unlike Adhara who was bleeding from her nose and mouth, Evelyn suffered way worse—she was bleeding from her ears and eyes too. Even the level of pain she was enduring, forcing to stay awake and help was climbing to the point that it was a sheer miracle that she could still retain her consciousness.
Crack!
Kaboom!!
A powerful blast seeped through as the barrier cracked even more.
Through a bloodied vision, Evelyn realized that it was not enough, the barrier was breaking.
'Just a little bit more,' She panted, fighting the pain with every fiber of her being. 'If only one more was here, Kyran or even Flunra, we could've fended this off...' Despite the uncertainty of the situation, Evelyn screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Raaaghhh!!" She attempted to break her limit, injuring her internal organs in the process.
Meanwhile, on the other part of the battlefield.
Rex had his eyes turned bloodshot at the sight of the Chaos Nova hitting the barrier.
He quickly stood up and darted in their direction, hoping that he could make it in time to help them sustain the attack—knowing full well that even he, himself got hurt by that spell. But as he made a couple of steps—the Executor seized the back of his head and slammed his face into the ground.
"Don't think that I'm going to stay on the defense," the Executor whispered sinisterly.
Putting more strength, he pinned Rex's face deeper into the ground, "Watch as they all die..."
Upon hearing this, Rex's body exploded with enormous force.
Successfully driving the Executor back once again, he darted forward once more—only to have his leg caught by the Executor, bringing him to an abrupt stop. Reacting swiftly—Rex conjured three Lunar Clones to assist the others.
But not even reaching ten meters, ten Chaos summons appeared and vanquished them.
Not stopping at that, Rex cast the Damned Specter skill.
Moving into the cursed realm, the copy specter of Rex moved quickly toward the others.
Since it was inside the cursed realm, the Executor shouldn't be able to stop him, but that was the wrong assumption as the Executor threw his black spear. Imbued with cursed energy, the black spear stabbed the specter right in the back.
Despite Rex's swift efforts, all of them were thwarted away by the Executor.
Tilting his head, the Executor's expression was cold and serious, taking Rex seriously now.
"I admit that earned strength has its perks, but before those perks can overwhelm our fight—I will crush your mind with your weaknesses"
