141 Chapter 141
Elder Shadow Snake is aware that there was another reason as to why the Twighlight Beast or more like the Serpentine Empress chose Greenwood City
However, at least formally, the production of werebeast nuclei was the reason. The nuclei might even be something that was created all for the sake of hiding the Serpentine Empress’s real motive
“To dare use the territory of our Eastern Country as your springboard resulting in countless deaths…”
Creak!
Awaaa!!!
The space itself cries miserably from the dangerous aura that Space Monarch has emitted
Without even lifting a finger, the space was already on the brink of shattering, showing the dreadful might of a 7th-rank mage
While 6th fusion rank mages could cause the space to tremble with their powerful spells, it was not to the point of directly shattering the fabric of space itself. Much less doing so just by using their aura
If not for the Space Monarch controlling himself, the space would have shattered already. If that happens, a terrible spatial storm would occur that could shred even mages at the level of Dominant Sky and Bone Sage
“You wouldn’t want to fight here, right?” Shadow Snake was not the least bit unperturbed by the might of Space Monarch
“Hmph!”
With a harrumphed, Space Monarch created a hole in space and entered it. Shadow Snake himself did the same thing and they both vanished
When they reappeared, they are already in the space called the edge of the world. Battles at the level of 6th fusion rank mages mostly occur in the skies while 7th rank mages occur in the edge of the world, infinitely close to the endless void of space
“Shall we begin?” Shadow Snake taunted, further fueling the negative emotions that Space Monarch has
The Space Monarch was about to use his ‘real power’ when Shadow Snake spoke again
“You couldn’t be thinking of fighting at full strength, right? As a 7th rank being, you know the state of the world. Our world has broken laws and if people like us use our real power, that would further drain and exhaust our world. If you do that, the mages of your Eastern Country might not mind but the other three countries definitely would”
With those words, Space Monarch’s movements halted. Instead of using his power, he decided to fight in the way that most 7th-rank mages do
With a wave of the sagely mage’s hand, at least a thousand sword-type Mystic Items appeared. There were all sorts of swords present
Broadswords, Rapiers, Claymores, Longswords, Katana, Cutlass, Cross swords, and many more types can be seen
All of these Mystic Items have the power that reached the level of 6th grade. Even a single one of them could make those mages drool
Unfortunately, with the ‘broken laws’ of the world, while 7th rank mages can easily activate these mystic items, giving the items the ability to be activated by lower ranking mages is difficult
Skringgg!!!
The thousand Mystic Items hummed as Space Monarch gave them a little bit of his power
Even a thousand spells at the 6th rank cannot fully display the power of Space Monarch but it can’t be helped
The world is in a miserable state and the laws were almost completely broken. If every battle against those that transcended the 6 mortal ranks were not in the form of the usage of Mystic Items, the earth would have disintegrated already
The edge of the world suddenly lit up with colorful lights caused by the thousand swords, creating quite a spectacular scenery
Weennggg!
The thousand swords flew rapidly, trying to drown Shadow Snake to death. However, Shadow Snake himself waved his hand and his own Mystic Items appeared
They collided with Space Monarch’s mystic items and one mystic item after another exploded
If a mage from the secular world has witnessed these scenes, their hearts would definitely ache!
Those are Mystic Items! They are incomparably rare and valuable yet they were being treated as mere toys!
Who wouldn’t be heartbroken by that?
However, mages that transcended the mortal ranks are all big shots
A company like Daydream that dominated the entire country was founded and cannot be fully destroyed all because of the 7th rank mages
While Mystic Items don’t spread in the secular world, it was different for beings at Elder Snake and Space Monarch’s level
Daydream has the backing of their otherworldly mages and is the main supplier of Mystic Items to the 7th rank mages
Their business and benefits could definitely suffer and other companies can put them in a crisis but they wouldn’t be fully bankrupt!
As the main supplier of Mystic Items, even just an intent from a 7th rank mage is already enough for them to continue surviving for eternity!
Without the mortals knowing, a battle even more terrible than the battles of 6th fusion rank mages occurred at the edge of the world
In the end, neither Shadow Snake nor Space Monarch has truly won. Their battles were mostly decided by the number of Mystic Items they possess
A battle like this wouldn’t really make them fall and is akin to a battle of resources that would not have any clear winner
“Give up! Greenwood City would become our Twighlight Beast’s main headquarters!” Shadow Snake said calmly and Space Monarch cannot do anything
There were unwritten rules that beings at their level must abide by if they don’t want to destroy their world
The matters of the mortal world… they can’t meddle too much directly
That’s the reason why the Eastern Country refrain from sending reinforcements. With the fact that they also have spatial mages, sending reinforcements would be easy
However, the opposing side has 7th rank mages. Twighlight Beast themselves didn’t send a number of 6th fusion rank mages that could instantly topple Greenwood City
In fact, Twighlight Beast even suffered casualties of 6th rank combatants but these are necessary sacrifices
If they wish to take Greenwood City, they must also give the city the chance to fight back
If not, they would be breaking the unwritten rules and Eastern Country would have the pretext to make a move
As such, the battle between Shadow Snake and Space Monarch was useless. Space Monarch just wishes to vent his fury from the countless deaths
——
“N-no! M-mom! D-Dad!”
Rezen’s bloody figure can be seen kneeling on the ground
Around him were the bodies of his subordinates. They might not be dead but they have lost consciousness
Even the soul bodies of his parents were fainter than before
This was the result of the final clash between Dominant Sky and Space Fox. The shockwaves and energy undulations alone can cause casualties
Even people like Zero and the others were rendered unconscious before they can consume recovery pills
All of Rezen’s subordinates fainted with varying levels of injuries. Only he was still conscious while staring at the constantly flickering soul bodies of his parents
They look like flames that were about to die out
The fate of Dominant Sky and General Bone Sage were unknown and right now, the numerous trees that covered Greenwood City dissipated into motes of light
As much as Florine wants to defend Greenwood City, doing so would just cause her death
While she was exhausted from helping the normal civilians, the opposing side still has four mages at the 6th fusion rank
The Clay Doll Master and his three Clay Dolls survived!
Florine has no choice but to flee from the city
“Rezen! You’re here, let’s go, we have to flee immediately!”
In the air, riding a sheet of ice, the exhausted and injured figure of Rain can be seen
With the retreat of her sister, she naturally would retreat too. Staying in Greenwood City is asking for the death penalty
Coincidentally, while she is in the middle of fleeing, she saw Rezen. She decided to help him escape but her eyes soon dilated
At first, it was because of the faint souls in front of Rezen. As Rain and Florine investigated Rezen’s background in the past, Yssa and Heinley’s profile was also seen by them
She can vaguely see the appearance of Rezen’s parents in those faint soul bodies
However, what really shocked her the most was the more than a dozen mystic gems hovering around Rezen
Heavens! Rain has never seen that many mystic gems from a single mage!
Almost all of those mystic gems are at the 3rd fusion with one of them even at the 4th fusion!
Rezen is clearly just a 4th fusion rank mage. Even if he has access to an endless number of resources, there is still the problem of comprehension!
Recalling Rezen’s tender age… Rain can’t help but shudder and she controlled her sheet of ice to go down
“Rezen…” she called out but Rezen was unresponsive
Rain tried her best to convince Rezen to flee but she failed. It was to the point that she thought of taking him forcefully but the moment that she tried, all the mystic gems floating around Rezen hummed in a threatening manner
