Void Evolution System

Chapter 861 Movements [3]

?

Several days passed since then.

The Nox and Heaven's Armies continued their endless search for the mysterious expert, and while they partook in the occasional scuffle, they waited patiently for the heavenly material to bloom.

From the looks of it, it wouldn't take too much longer.

The intense spiritual aura from that material had already permeated the entire Wild Continent, assuring those watching for its development that it wasn't far from being birthed.

"Have we found anything about the location of the heavenly material?"

Currently, Lucas Streem was meeting with his advisor to go over plans and information formulated and gained over the past few days.

"Milord, we have been able to triangulate the general location of the treasure. It will be birthed in a mountain valley 150,000 kilometers to the north. However, we did not dare to get too close lest we disturb the heavenly material's birth process, so this is as much as we have gained." The advisor responded while pushing a number of documents across the desk.

Lucas picked them up and perused them. These documents outlined the movements of the opposing armies as well as details garnered and inferred about the treasure, essentially providing Lucas with all the information he needed at the moment.

'The Nox are still being cautious. It looks like that old bastard Theon got injured in the previous clash. Now is the perfect time to act, however, I must be patient. When the time comes, I shall eliminate Theon in front of everybody's eyes. Who will be able to doubt me then?!'

His eyes burned with ambition as he looked through the rest of the documents. For the most part, there was nothing he didn't already know.

However…

'Hm? What is this? Since when did the Arcadia Guild become so powerful?'

Asuran Gate wasn't located anywhere near the Misty Wildlands, but Lucas had still heard about the illustrious reputation of the Arcadia Guild.

'The number of extreme peak beasts they've slaughtered is already mind-numbing, yet they've been slaying all the Nox they come across as well. In these few days, they've accumulated over double the contributions of the next best team!'

If their Guildmaster was present, their current achievements could be more easily explained. Yet, they were able to accomplish so much with only a 6th revolution master at their head?

'How?' Lucas furrowed his brows in thought.

He pulled up a holographic panel that showed the information of several people. Among them were the Arcadia members present in the Void Corridor.

'Overall, while they are an exceptional thing, there isn't anything uniquely special about them. Were they able to come across some sort of miraculous opportunity on the Wild Continent?'

If so, then they needed to be watched far closer.

'The Arcadia Guild might be powerful, but it isn't anywhere near our Asuran Gate. Haha, after I take their treasures, I should thoroughly enjoy Alexandra and Alice, these two sisters. I wonder how they taste…?'

Lucas licked his lips, his eyes flashing red. Just as he went to consult his advisor for another matter…

HONG!

"Who?!"

A massive aura fluctuation tore through the Asuran Gate base camp and traveled endlessly into the distance. Lucas immediately stood up and readied his weapon to defend against the force, but before he could, another fierce wave rushed past his body.

HONG!

"This… could this be…?!"

HONG!

The third energy wave spread, accompanied by the ringing sound of an ancient bell.

"It's here! It's finally here!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Xiao Bai, gather our forces! We are marching to the heavenly material as soon as possible!"

"Rest assured, Milord, the troops will be prepared for departure in half an hour."

The advisor bowed and disappeared. Meanwhile, Lucas clenched his fists and tried to calm himself.

'This opportunity…I will not waste it! If that expert decides to disrupt my plans, then he can only die with the Nox!'

Lucas stood up from his desk and began putting on his armor. He grabbed a nearby spear and stood silent for a second.

This was his big moment, his debut.

He would definitely put on a show that thoroughly impressed the Bloodlock Clan.

Then, he could finally start making his way up this universe's power ladder.

His plan was foolproof.

Truly foolproof.

***

The three waves of power didn't just sweep over the Asuran Gate bass camp, but the entirety of the Wild Continent. As long as one wasn't an absolute dolt, it didn't take long to understand what was happening.

The heavenly material was finally being birthed!

Heaven's Army began to congregate immediately. Due to their large numbers, they were forced to split into several different groups for ease of transportation.

As for the Nox Army, even though Damien was able to wipe out a large portion of their forces, they still had a great number of troops remaining. However, because of their strict hierarchal system, it didn't take them nearly as long to gather and set off.

The Nox had an advantage when it came to reaching the heavenly material, but it was unknown whether or not they'd be able to keep it afterward.

Nevertheless, both armies set off for the heavenly material's location the instant they felt the power fluctuations.

It looked like the final battle of the Wild Continent would take place only a few days later.

Currently, Alexandra and Alice were with the rest of the Arcadia Guild's people in a section of the army led by the Ancient God Clan.

'We've successfully entered this army since Xinyue suggested it, so we should be relatively safe in comparison to others. However, the other task…'

Alexandra steeled herself and stopped thinking about it. Since it was her benefactor's request, it was naturally impossible to refuse.

She just didn't know how her second benefactor would react to her actions.

'No matter, no matter. In the end, this will only benefit him, so he shouldn't get mad and kill me…right?'

Alexandra didn't stay with that man long enough to have a good grasp on his personality, but he definitely didn't seem like a good person.

'But if Xinyue can trust him, then I can too.'

Xinyue didn't try to covertly send her off to complete tasks or anything of the sort. Rather, she was quite direct with her request, and even requested Alexandra's aid within the golden palace that man controlled.

He likely already knew about what she was tasked to do. If he didn't warn her before letting her leave…

'But he could be testing me…'

Alexandra complained inwardly and constantly contemplated the disadvantages of her actions, but before she knew it, her feet had already taken her to the Ancient God Clan members.

"Hm? A member of Arcadia? What have you come for?" A man asked.

"I have a message to pass to your elders. Please allow me to pass." Alexandra responded.

The man's eyes narrowed. "I'm afraid I cannot grant your request. Our elders aren't people who can be seen so easily."

Alexandra sighed. She expected this situation. Luckily, Xinyue did too and prepared an out for her beforehand.

Alexandra reached into her spatial ring and pulled out a small emblem no bigger than her palm. It was inscribed with a cross surrounded by a strange construct similar to a dimensional crack.

When the man saw it, his eyes widened. "This, this is…! Where did you get this emblem?!"

"Where do you think I got it? Do you think I am capable of taking it by force?" Alexandra replied without a change in tone.

"…"

The man hesitated for a second before lowering his guard.

"I understand. I will inform the elders right away. However, whether or not they see you is not up to me."

"Thank you," Alexandra said with a smile. "Ah, but before you go, please relay a message to them. Tell them I said 'Ancient Codex: Blue Grade Violation.'"

The man nodded his head in confusion and left to inform the elders of her visit.

And not even a full minute later, Alexandra found the space around her twisting as she arrived in a new location.
