Chapter 168: Rochester's March

Evelyn shook off the distracting thought. "Anyway, since the illusion can be disrupted in this way, using soul power should be able to make it much harder for the opponent to dispel!"

Obviously, it wasn't that she believed that only soul power would be able to dispel illusions created with soul power, had that been the case, who else in the world could refill their soul power like her? Instead, it should simply take a disproportionately higher amount of spirit power to dispel illusions created with soul power.

She had clearly observed it just now, that although Bree had used about ten points of spirit power in that move, only about three points were really needed to break the illusion, while the rest went to waste. Coincidentally, that was exactly the amount she had poured into the move.

Evelyn couldn't help but sigh. "Although it's a great skill it's a pity that I didn't get any chaos essence."

Having used 'Chaos Incarnate' to convert her spirit power into soul value so frequently, the status of her preliminary understanding of chaos essence had already reached 12%.

But Evelyn felt that for every bit of familiarity she gained with this strange form of energy upon using that skill, it became all the more elusive.

That is, the higher her level of understanding the harder it became for her to progress. As this was the only way she knew of to gain more of it, if she couldn't find any other source. Evelyn would have to depend entirely on slowly grinding her comprehension using 'Chaos Incarnate'!

And this wasn't even mentioning that absorbing the chaos energy had also given her 150 spirit power! Having more spirit power was always a good thing, since it would always be a direct boost to most of her abilities.

Evelyn frowned. "I feel like this will definitely be a great breakthrough in my strength, maybe even bigger than that multiple milestone jump!"

Had either Bree or Ruru had a proper understanding of how this world worked, they would have shuddered in horror. After all, no one crossed multiple milestones at once, and what did exceeding even that mean?

Wasn't that just saying 'I wish to explode spontaneously'?!

The pink haired girl took a deep breath. "Okay, now I have two choices. I can either use that eyeball from the 'Thousand Eyed God' to try and see if I can get any chaos energy out of it or I can wait."

Evelyn walked back and forth while frowning deeply. "It would be stupid to have that grade nine enslavement array and not even think of using that eyeball. It's like a perfect combo that fell right into my lap! But"

Although that grade nine enslavement array 'Watcher of the Skies' was supposedly incomplete, it only had three major drawbacks.

First, to enslave a beast, she would need a tissue sample, and the more 'critical' it was, the better. Since she already had the 'eye' of the 'Thousand Eyed God', this condition was already fulfilled.

The second problem with this method was that it would 'greatly reduce vitality' upon use. Now, while this might be a horrifying idea to most people, it wasn't really a big deal to Evelyn.

After all, with her advanced regeneration, she would be able to restore her vitality over time. This ability hadn't yet come in handy, since Evelyn never allowed herself to be in a precarious enough situation.

Obviously, Evelyn understood that even she would die if she was killed.

Out of the thousands of soldiers he had sent to this place to aid in his son's mission how could there be none who spotted the magnificence of Eruniel in the skies?!

It was impossible for his elite soldiers to not be able to realize they were here. Impossible!

Unless they were all dead.

Thousands of elite soldiers all handpicked after countless Terrans shed their blood and tears in training

The Guardian Beast of Earth

One of his trusted generals

The most trusted personal aide whose talent had once shocked the kingdom The man who could enlist the help of even high-grade beasts!

And his son!

His Craig!

He still remembered how his little boy had smiled at him and assured him confidently that he would fulfill his dreams.

Rochester could feel a pain deep in his heart as he finally realized the possibility. Was his Craig gone? Just like that?

Even when he knew he would be disgraced and mocked, he still followed his orders to go court that whore of a princess in Aquavahn, for the slightest possibility that it could boost their war efforts.

The boy who had always exceeded his expectations, right from his birth. He dreamed the same dreams, and spoke the words of his mind, and Rochester had never believed more in someone than he did in his son.

He believed

The 'Thousand Eyed God', the untameable beast that freely roamed the continent as it pleased would be their pet.

The 'Ancient Academy', that unbreakable stone that had shattered countless Terran hammers in the past thousands of years would be in the palm of his hand!

The Lavinian Empire's arrogance would be snuffed out! Gwyntere would fall to its knees! The day that the Terrans ruled over the entire continent wasn't far!

And yet

Rochester's eyes chilled as he clutched the handle of his war hammer, and even the veteran generals standing behind him at the tip of the sword shivered. Today the King would probably not retreat without spilling blood.
