Guild Wars

Chapter 1008 Vita's Declaration 1

A small space portal opened near the Aether Palace that swirled and spat out a strange aura of desolation. From it, two fellows jumped out with a peal of loud laughter, holding another person who was tied up like a dead dog.

Misery and AP were in a good mood. After going up one Rank, the Rank Suppression had dropped from 90% reduced Attack and Defense for them and 90% increased Attack and Defense for Surtur to 60% on all fields.

As for level suppression, it hadn't dropped, unfortunately. There were more than 99 levels of difference between them, so the 99% reduction to all stats held true.

However, they were suddenly blessed with the Suppression Immunity title that reduced the Rank Suppression further to 30% overall. There was a force reduction of 25% thanks to the title on level suppression, so their stats were reduced by 74% in the end.

Surtur had gotten to feel firsthand what it was like to fight a core member who wasn't completely suppressed by the bullshit AI rules, and if he was conscious right now, he would scream at the loudest possible voice that every Rank 7 in all the realms had to quickly come together and exterminate these fellows before it was too late.

It was a good idea on paper, and even the main plane Rank 7 fellows had realized this. But was it something that was easy to execute given the current situation?

Misery and AP were about to move when they sensed something wrong. They looked up and saw a giant palm falling down on the entire vita kingdom.

Misery: …

AP: …

Did we come at the wrong time?!?

Misery and AP turned to run back into the portal, but Shadowheart, Elle, and Nightwalker came through and close it while laughing slightly. Misery and AP felt horror and shared a look, then nodded.

AP then used his great strength to throw Surtur upwards, making him the first target for the palm. Hopefully, the fellow could reduce the power enough for them.

Shadowheart and co noticed AP weird actions and were initially puzzled until they looked up. Their faces also changed slightly, as they initially were going to add their power to it, but then they heard a furious voice that caused their bloodlines to freeze and their bodies to become slow.

"HOW DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ATTACK MY PEOPLE?!"

Suddenly, a blast of energy was launched upwards, which was Draco's 100% bloodline energy without augmenting any ability, meaning it was its raw power.

Using this meant he was essentially using the full force of his bloodline power. The only reason his attacks against the Kraken and co were not able to one-shot it was because they didn't use this method.

Using this method got them no benefits except wasting energy, so they refrained from using it even in dire situations, but Draco was too furious to care.

Meanwhile, Eva looked around and saw the falling body of Vadoma. She quickly grabbed it and brought it into her arms, while Shuangtian looked down and saw the devastation to the kingdom and the innocents, her face changing.

Draco's blow collided with the giant palms and easily dispersed it, causing the body of Surtur that was thrown up to almost explode into bloodmist. As it were, the fellow was further beaten to near death and fell to the ground, his life and death unknown.

Draco then waved a hand and released all the core members as well as the members of his family. He didn't want them to be ignorant of what had happened, for this was a good chance to train their minds.

When they came out, they were initially surprised to be home, but their faces changed when they saw the situation. The kingdom was surrounded by hostile Rank 7's radiating powerful auras and the area below them was ravaged.

Their homes were destroyed and their family no longer responded to their cries. The AI released messages to the players that the members of their clan had been killed and by who, also letting them know the price to resurrect.

Seeing this, many froze with incomprehension as pain surged into their minds and souls. Boyd and Shani especially could not believe that their beloved child had been killed.

Zaine and Misery appeared near his ruined mansion and saw the mangled corpses of Chel and Bria, their faces changing. Misery's eyes became bloodshot, as he was forced to relieve the trauma of the fight with Politar Jukovic, where his team members were all slaughtered one by one.

Zaine had never suffered a setback in her life. She was usually sheltered and pampered and became even moreso after becoming Draco's wife. She had often felt inferior because Roma and Hikari had their difficulties, and so did Eva and Shuangtian.

In comparison, she seemed like a joke, but at this moment, she regretted all her foolish thoughts. She would ten times out of often prefer to live and die a spoiled brat than have to endure this feeling.

AP and Tunder appeared near AP's mansion and their faces paled greatly. AP's little cousin was usually staying in his mansion as he was his only family. When he was abused and abandoned by his family for being a runt of the pack, she had been the only one to show him kindness.

It was for her that he eventually broke the chains binding him and became a Sigma werewolf.

Tunder was also quite stunned. This little miss of AP's had always worshiped him since he was the strongest member of Supernatural's Youths. He would even occasionally visit to listen to her praises and perform some cool tricks for her, but now…

Roma saw Vadoma who was like a candle in a storm and screamed in fear. She rushed over and held her mother gently, the fear on her face visible. Vadoma saw her beloved daughter's face and felt greatly comforted that she could see her in her last moments.

Roma looked around and asked shakily. "Mother, where's brother? Where is our clan?"

Hearing this, Vadoma's happiness disappeared and was replaced by endless sadness and regret. Her expression told Roma all that she needed to know.

Roma felt her soul leave her body and she almost collapsed.

Draco watched all of this from the side and his anger began to calm and was replaced by endless darkness that usually stayed buried within. A certain thing was slowly awakening within him.

In his mind, there were three entities. One was neutral and very aloof, looking at things from the most pragmatic perspective. One was bubbly and playfully, always willing to joke and cause trouble.

Then there was one who was locked in a cage at the back, his form obscure because he was surrounded by endless darkness, hatred, cruelty, and killing intent.

If one parted the darkness and looked through the veil, one could see a visage of a pale-skinned Draco who was sitting in a meditative position.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened and the darkness around him roiled.

Eva beside him was no different. She was at the limit of her fury, and he wanted to turn back time to reset all the damage done, but a force was preventing her.

Clearly, there was a Titled God in the area causing trouble because only Divine Energy could interfere and control the laws. Or even worse, an actual God was interfering and Eva had one in mind who would do something so stupid.

She also tried to use her Creation abilities, but she was thoroughly blocked from doing so. Only Hikari could resurrect anyone using her ability thanks to the Divine Energy she possessed, but Shuangtian stopped her.

Until the situation was resolved, it was pointless to revive anyone when a simple aftershock could turn them into meat paste once again.

Surprisingly, Shuangtian was the calmest. While she had feelings for everything and everyone, it was only through proxy by the memories Draco and Eva gave her. She didn't know many of these people and had only recently gotten close to the core members through the Vault of the Deep quest.

She could empathize with their feelings, but her distance and most importantly, her nature as a Pangu inheritor allowed her to view things from a calm angle.

Shuangtian glanced at Eva who was beginning to change physically. Her golden eyes were slowly switching to black and her demeanor which was usually aloof and benevolent was becoming dark and insidious.

Shuangtian then glanced at Draco whose furious expression was slowly switching into an eerie smile that would chill the hearts of any onlooker and his demeanor was changing from playful to seriously cruel.

Shuangtian couldn't help but sigh. Riveting Night and Hellscape Draco were both coming out, and this was not necessarily a good thing all around. Those two were very crazy, cruel, and emotional, so their enemies would pay three times the price but their allies might even be harmed by them in their explosive tantrums.

Shuangtian knew about these two special thoughtstreams as well as how they came about in detail, and she had always felt excluded in the sense that she had no split personalities like them. She was just Shuangtian.

However, at this moment, she somewhat understood her purpose. She was supposed to be precisely like this in order to be the anchor for these two, otherwise with their current power, they would do more harm than good if they lost control.

Shuangtian hesitated. With her Soul branch abilities, she could forcefully seal Hellscape Draco and Riveting Night, but she didn't do so yet. Given the situation, she was also a little furious and wanted to see the idiots here suffer.

"Hmph, are you lot done weeping and crying? If so, get Draco out here to greet the supremacies, and this is the last time we'll be saying this!" The fellow who orchestrated the attack spoke arrogantly, his hands folded.

He was initially surprised that Draco could resist their attack, but then again, he thought of the means he must have had and felt it was normal. However, even if he could resist a joint attack from a few Rank 7 fellows, could he resist everyone who came here today?

Draco turned his head and looked upwards, looking right at the fellow who spoke. The fellow felt a chill in his heart and as if his future path had been cut off abruptly, causing him to feel fear and regret.

Why did he have to open his mouth and speak early? If Draco had a single target ultimate weapon, wouldn't he be the first choice for it?

Draco looked away and then gazed at all the Rank 7 fellows aligned here. His eyes narrowed when he saw Richmond and Nakiu still brawling with Sengo Muramasa, but others did not notice them.

Draco then turned around and ignored all the Rank 7's in the world and spoke softly, but his words were almost heard throughout the world of Boundless.

"On this day, Vita Kingdom and Umbra declare a war of extinction on all the factions behind the Rank 7 'supremacies' who participated in the attack on Vita Kingdom. Those who stood by the side and watched will be subject to a war of enslavement. This war shall begin in 3 months' time."

The faces of everyone listening changed, whether they were the Rank 7 fellows, uninterested parties, or those listening in to see the fate of Vita Kingdom. The expression of the Rank 7 fellows hovering outside changed the most.

"IMPUDENT!"

"HOW DARE YOU!"

"KILL THE TRASH!"

Those hostile became furious and one of them even reached out a hand to grab Draco and capture him forcefully. In his mind, this clown was drunk on emotions and overestimating himself.

Draco smiled and turned, his usually green eyes becoming red as a black light swirled within them, and then exploded outwards as a thin beam of black light.
