Chapter 76 - The Mantis Stalks The Cicada...

The situation at the Wandering Plains was extremely horrific as at this moment, the battle between two DIAMOND Level experts was shaking the very skies of the already bloody battlefield!

Multiple clashes of milky white could be seen every second in the skies as this scene was relayed to multiple forces.

??

One was deep in the Dark Continent, where within a grand hall, a certain king was looking upon this scene with cold eyes as a gruff voice came from the communication medallion beside him!

"How is this possible?! Choosing to send a DIAMOND level expert was something they never could have guessed!"

The expression of the Dark King was sour as he listened to the angry voice of the Ruler of the Wild Continent.

"Either that fool is a lot more prepared than we believed, or this information was... leaked to their forces!"

RUMBLE!

A shocking assertion was laid out as silence prevailed in the grand hall.

"You think I would leak news of one of my strongest forces entering the stage?!"

RUMBLE

A conflict was nearly about to erupt as the Dark King shook his head and replied.

"No. Which is why it's so perplexing. You know me and what I want, I would never jeopardize something like this. So who…"

A question that could never be answered was laid out as the Rulers of two Continents looked at the scene with complex eyes, the battle between Diamond experts only heating up in the skies of the Wandering Plains!

In their eyes, even though this battle was unexpected and unplanned for, it carried immense significance as it would show the gulf of power between those in the Light Continent who had access to the DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift versus the experts from their continents that had stalled in their progress while honing their power after they lost their privilege to enter the highest Rift of the Ethereal Realm!

Thus, the scene of this battle was being observed with immense scrutiny!

This same scene was being watched by a certain Crown Prince that was surrounded by many figures in a hall who were also monitoring the situation.

His eyes were shining with a sharp light as the news that was shared with them had actually turned out to be true, his thoughts moving rapidly as he wondered if the being that should have been high up in the ranks of the enemy army to be able to have access to information such as this!

The perplexing question was...why would they share it?

'Is there a Commander within their ranks that is sympathetic to the Light Continent? Just what exactly…'

Many beings were searching for answers amidst the shocking development, but while there was perplexion in the eyes of the Crown Prince, there was also a light of confidence when he looked at the scene displayed in a huge mirror that depicted the shocking battle continuing above the Wandering Plains.

"Even I haven't been able to win against Uncle during spars...you think a DIAMOND Blessed that hasn't had access to the Rift within my city for the past tens of years will be able to stand against him?"

RUMBLE!

The Crown Prince looked at the scene playing out coldly as he believed with certainty that his Uncle, the one known as Protector Chen...would be able to defeat his enemy with out any issues!

This was because he was the Impartial Protector of the Light Continent, a being that was one of the leading figures that took teams to clear the Diamond Rank Dimensional Rift within the Imperial Capital!

BOOM!

The clash in the skies was becoming even more hectic as we get to the last being watching this scene from far away.

Noah was utilizing Remote Control as he borrowed the body of Commander Oden who was hidden silently among the ranks of soldiers from the Dark Continent, experiencing the shocking battle of beings a level above gold as their might...was terrifying!

It felt like bombs exploding every time that the two figures clashed, with skills that covered a wide range of distance erupting out every now and then.

Warlord steel shone with a red light as fire elements swirled around him, his white aura creating a beautiful scene in the dark sky as he was like a lantern that lit up the darkness!

"What Impartial Protector?! You're merely a tool that hogs the treasures of this Realm from everyone else!"

RUMBLE!

The body of Warlord Steel thrummed with power as he shot back like a streak of white light, glaring at Protector Chen with a hateful look as he raised his hands up and called forth powerfully.

[Devouring Flame Tornadoes].

WAA!

The skies brightened to a crimson color at these words, red lines descending from the skies around Protector Chen as they quickly bloomed into terrifying swirls of flames that caused the very air to turn blurry!

The swirling flames formed into terrifying crimson tornadoes that threatened to scorch the skies, entirely eclipsing the figure of Protector Chen as it seemed anyone would be burned into nothingness with the cast of this skill!

Yet...the face of the Impartial Protector was placid as while tornadoes of flames threatened to overwhelm him, he called out calmly.

[Wrath of the Lightning King].

TRHUM!

A single cast of a skill, and the crimson skies that threatened to scorch everything were brought to a halt. Above the Impartial Protector, large arcs of blue lightning began to descend down, each one being multiple meters wide as they thundered down with terrifying power to strike the forming hellish tornadoes.

They vibrated with power as more and more enormous pillars of lightning descended down, drowning the hellish tornadoes and even thundering towards Warlord Steel who held an ashen expression in the face of one of his strongest skills being broken!

"I have delved into the very Rift you and your ragtag group of traitors are aiming for...and I have grown much stronger compared to years ago!"

OOOM!

The power of Protector Chen continued to explode out as after the cast of a powerful skill that dispelled horrendous tornadoes of flames, his voice light rang out as his body glimmered with light.

"Do not even think you can step foot in the Imperial Capital to obtain such a thing. [Wrath of the Lightning King]!"

RUMBLE!

The shocking skill was cast twice as the rain of enormous arcs of lightning continued, the sky turning blue and brightening up the dark night. Noah was able to see this spectacular skill first hand as he observed a DIAMOND expert overwhelm another with a skill that even caused the skies to change color and quake.

This was the power of a being above gold...the power of the strongest Rank that beings within the Ethereal Realm currently achieved when putting aside the past fallen Ethereal Emperor!

It was the wondrous power at DIAMOND Rank!

The eyes of Commander Oden that Noah was watching this scene through shone brightly, Noah actually not feeling even an ounce of fear as he actually looked towards such a scene while imagining himself standing against such beings.

He saw himself standing on the same stage as them as never again would anybody stand above him and look at him like a mere bug to be stepped on!

WAA!

In the skies, the figure of Warlord Steel was flung out from the field of raging arcs of lightning as he looked disheveled, the Golden Commanders of the armies of the Dark and Light Continent looking at this with ashen faces.

Meanwhile, the battalions of the Light Continent cheered out at the scene while their commanders gave them the bellows to charge forward!

OOOOH!

Rejuvenated and filled with the taste of victory, the forces of the Light Continent moved forward while the battalions from the Dark and Wild Continent moved back. The Warlord from their side could not stand against the Impartial Protector of the Light Continent, and this meant a defeat for them as their armies retreated!

"You sully the name of Protector! Merely a part of the thieves holding the treasures of our Realm to themselves!"

RUMBLE

The figure of Warlord Steel retreated slowly with a sorry figure as he let out hateful words while looking towards Protector Chen that continued unhindered with an impassive face. The demeanor of the victor was clear as the majesty of a DIAMOND expert was only displayed by a single being, the other merely buying time for the two armies below to retreat while trying to keep his life!

Noah looked at this scene as many thoughts swam in his mind, being shown just how quickly things could change during a battle of powerful experts as he canceled Remote Control and left Commander Oden to observe the end of the bloody battle.

Soon enough, the details of the events of the Wandering Plains would spread out across the three Continents...the might of the Light Continent and those that termed themselves Ethereal Royals making their power known brilliantly once more!
