The Shade commander was thinking of the best way to resolve the current situation.
How was he going to make sure that they survived without losing too much of their strength?
How could he reduce the number of casualties on his side?
That was when the Shade commander suddenly realized that there was no way to do this at all.
Right now, they had already lost the initiative and were at the mercy of the Seven Kings Army. There was no way he was getting out of this without losing a lot of troops, and he could only care about his own life without sparing any thought of the lives of others.
If that was the case, then everything was simple.
If he wasn't able to get out of this situation without severe loss of life, then he would not care about the cost at all.
What the Shade commander wanted to do was throw the lives of his men at the Aeth to buy time for himself until the main force arrived. After all, they were not really his men, but were
Just as General Beckham was thinking about the sudden movements of the Shade forces, two points of light appeared behind him with immediately condensed into holographic images of two people in military uniform that were similar to General Beckham's.These two people were also general's of the Seven Kings Army and they were in command of the remaining two battleships. The three of them were equals in rank, but General Beckham was given overall command during this operation, so they had to consult with him in regard to what strategies to employ against the invasion troops.One of the generals who had just appeared did not waste time as he immediately started speaking, "General Beckham, I am sure you've received the report.""It looks like these waves of troops can no longer hold on and have requested for a battleship to support them. Do we do something to delay this until this wave is completely wiped out?"Hearing this question, the other general, a female
Thirty minutes ago...After Arran had killed Carrum when he was suddenly ambushed by Shade Lord Scholler and the events following after.Right now, those people who had been forcefully corrupted by Shade Lord Scholler were rampaging throughout the venue of the chosen ceremony. There was chaos and pandemonium everywhere, and casualties appeared in a matter of seconds.Many Aeth were injured with varying degrees of wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, the council members were prepared, and they immediately reacted quickly to curb the unrest. Also, because the Aeth were a resilient race, even though everybody had been caught by surprise and panicked, there were no deaths and only a few minor or major injuries.The people that had been the most affected were those participants who had already been eliminated from the ceremony. Especially those who had come in contact with Carrum during the previous rounds.Because Carrum was the source of the infection
Charmy's and Eris' worry about Arran was great, and they were having a hard time not knowing what to do to help him. In the first place, Arran should not have been implicated in this matter.Although it was not known if the Shades were aware of Arran's presence or not and that he had something to do with the reappearance of the World Essence Pulse Bracers, the fact that the Shades are using this chosen ceremony to stir up trouble definitely meant that they had ideas towards the artifact, to begin with.Almost all major powers in the ether knew how powerful the seven ultimate treasures of the Aeth were. They were a major part of the reason why the Aeth were able to become the overlord of this upper realm. None of the seven could stay separate from the prosperity and decline of the Aeth.When the World Essence Pulse Bracers had gone missing, it did not become common knowledge of. Apart from the Aeth, a few other powerful forces in the Ether, this information was n
Arran was walking through the palace hall. While doing so, he cautiously scanned the entire hall with a pair of hawk eyes... never missing a thing.As he walked, Arran discover a few details in the palace hall that he had failed to notice before.On the side of the palace hall, on its walls, Arran noticed that there seemed to be fine grain patterns scattered all around the walls.Initially, Arran had not paid much attention to these patterns, merely thinking that they were simply just a unique style of decorating the walls or that it was a result of the material used to build the palace that led to it having those patterns. But when Arran used his hands to feel the walls and those patterns on them, he suddenly realized that they were probably more than what they seemed.Back on earth, apart from being proficient in most of the commonly spoken languages, and those that were not so commonly spoken, Arran was also proficient in sign language and braille. It
Arran hung rooted in the air without being able to move a single muscle. Across from him, on the altar, that creature with the large golden eye stared silently at him with indifference as well as a mild amount of puzzlement.It was as that creature was surprised to see Arran there... almost as if it was not expecting any visitors to this palace.The golden eyes of the creature on the altar trailed all over Arran's body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. Before those eyes that were invasive and penetrative, Arran felt as if he was being scanned from head to toe and everything about him was exposed.This feeling lasted for a long while before, suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed across those golden eyes for a moment.Following that, Arran heard a soft sound.Purr!This sounded was like the soft breathing of a house cat in Arran's ears.Hearing this and managing to catch that brief flash of surprise in the creature's eyes, Arran w
The creature that possessed those large golden eyes was a giant tabby cat.How shocking!Indeed, Arran was surprised to see the true appearance of the creature on the altar. This creature possessed a very great resemblance to the giant tabby cat that was very common on earth. There were only a few obvious differences between this creature and the well-loved household pet.First of all, there was a single horn right in the middle of the creature's head. This was the most eye-catching feature of this creature apart from its large golden eyes.This creature that resembled a tabby cat had midnight blue skin that was almost the same color as Arran's hair. The shades of their hair were so dark that they were almost at another extreme.While the creature's coat was a dark midnight blue color, it was so dark that it almost looked black. On this night, it was easy for people to miss the creature entirely, as it was almost invisible at night. In this same ma
Arran pulled his thoughts away from the random things that were going through it and he focused his attention on the cat-like creature on the altar as well as the World Essence Pulse Bracers.He was surprised by what he was seeing.Currently, both the creature on the altar and the World Essence Pulse Bracers were behaving in a rather strange manner.Looking at the two of them, Arran could see the World Essence Pulse Bracers hovering in the air at eye level with the creature on the altar. It was twinkling with starlight looking almost like a midnight star.At the same time, the creature on the altar also let out deep guttural sounds from its throat occasionally, which sounded like a rumble of thunder. Every time the creature purred, the air around the altar would vibrate powerfully and Arran would feel his insides shake, making him uncomfortable.Arran did not know what the two of them were doing, but their actions gave him the impression that they
Arran fell into a deep and peaceful slumber. In his sleep, Arran dreamt about his parents.Arran's dreamland was a place filled with purple clouds, much like the clouds that were constantly in the sky in the Etherium. But unlike those purple storm clouds, the clouds in Arran's dreamscape were not rumbling with charged lightning. everything was peaceful and quiet.Standing on a cloud, Arran was surprised...He could not understand what was going on and where he was.Arran had a feeling that he was asleep and everything he saw here was just part of his dream. But no matter what Arran did, he could not wake up. This made him frustrated... but Arran did not panic.Knowing that panicking would not solve anything, Arran calmly observed his surroundings.Using his feet to step on the clouds, Arran felt like he was stepping on a ball of soft cotton. The experience was pretty novel.At the same time, Arran tested all his powers and abilities,
