"You're nervous..." Fabian stated.
The shade leader broke into a cold, nervous upon hearing this. He squinted as he looked at Fabian while trying to get red on him. It was true that the shade leader was nervous... in this kind of situation, who wouldn't be. Because of this, he definitely didn't appreciate this fact being pointed out.
Fabian did not care how the shade leader felt. He simply looked at him deeply, like he was trying to peer through his thoughts and secrets. In a while, fabian suddenly smiled as he spoke.
"You're nervous. This means you're afraid. The only reason I can think for you to be afraid of in this situation is that you've run out of trump cards to play. Am I right?"
The shade leader's face became unsightly. He was gritting his teeth as he tried to suppress the nervousness in his heart. At the same time, he tried frantically to come up with a way to get out of this dangerous situation.
All these micro-expressions did not escape
The space rip formed by the detonation of the space exile bomb was bound by formless chains formed from the shackles of order, shrinking until it became nothing more than a black dot in the sky. Much to the disbelief of the shade leader, his plans had been foiled without achieving the desired effect.Right now, the shade leader dumbfoundedly staring at the spot where the space rip had been. Right now, there was only a mass of red-colored chains in that spot and the swirling black dot that had lost all its power but still tenaciously existed.After the shock of his failure finally settled in, the shade leader became manic and turned his unsettled gaze to Fabian before asking numbly, "How did you do it?""How were you able to close up that space, rip and ruin all my plans? I thought you had already used your shackles of order? You have already used it to deprive me of my powers, so you shouldn't be able to stop the space rip from opening up and devouring all of yo
It all happened so fast... before anybody realized what had happened, it was already over.With his powerful momentum, it did not take fabian two seconds to reach the shade team leader. At the same time, the shade team leader delivered himself to Fabian's spear. In under a second, Fabian's silver spear was jutting out of the shade team leader's chest, having pierced through his heart.A flower of blood bloomed behind the shade team leader and the tip of the silver spear blew open a hole in his back. A rain of blood trickled down the air and fell into the sea, causing a swirl of energy to erupt, spraying seawater everywhere. At the same time, the shade team leader broke the green rock in his mouth with a powerful bite.Seeing this, Fabian felt his heart shake, and he immediately went on the alert.Ever since that green rock had appeared, Fabian had always been wary and curious about it. To be able to enable the shade team leader to ignore the gravitational
The shade team leader escaped!Fabian stared at the disappearing figure of the shade team leader for a time. He saw the look of hatred in his eyes and the desire for vengeance hidden in his cold, dark eyes.For some reason, Fabian felt himself unconsciously shiver, but he caught himself in time and prevented this from happening. Finally, the figure of the shade leader disappeared completely.Fabian sighed deeply to himself. He was feeling very regretful for not being able to kill the shade team leader just now and allowing him to escape.After everything he had done to anticipate all his moves and counter them, the shade team leader was still able to successfully escape and now there was another enemy out there who hated him and was bound to seek vengeance on him."What the hell... let's just forget about it.""It's not like I have no enemies who want me dead out there. He would just be joining a long line of them. I can deal with him later.
After suffering excessive losses and failing to break through the blockade set up by the Seven Kings' Army, the shades decided to stake everything all on one Hail Mary attack.With a single order, the commander in charge of the shade's invasion this time ordered all the front-line soldiers of the shades to charge towards the Seven Kings Army blockade and try to ram them apart. They were to ignore all risks and costs and break through forcefully.This was a very risky and foolhardy plan, one that no one in their right minds would ever consider. Should this plan fail and the blockade was able to remain to stand, the shades would lose most if not all of their frontline combat power. The rest of the forces at the back-line would not be enough to fight on equal grounds with the Aeth at all.But the shades had never been one to think normally. They were a bunch of self-serving people who had no qualms about sacrificing others just for their own benefit. This was espec
The war lasted for more than five hours. In the end, the Aeth successfully drove the invading shades away from their planet. When the last invading ship retreated into the abyss door, it signaled the end of the invasion. But that was not where everything would end... Although the invasion had been stopped and the shades repelled, there was still the aftermath of the war to deal with. The shades had been expelled from planet Etherium but the abyss door was still open as it hung in the sky like a huge behemoth opening its massive jaws. Due to the large amount of energy required to open an abyss dorr, it was usually very stable. It would take a very long time for the energy of the abyss door to be depleted before it would close up. Unless the Aeth were willing to bear the risks and cost of forcefully closing the abyss door prematurely, they could only dispatch a troop of soldiers to guard it strictly in order to prevent anyone or anything from slipping t
General Deacon made his way out of his command ship and boarded a shuttle towards a certain place on the battlefield. Here there was an elevated platform similar to the floating platforms where the audience was sitting to watch the ceremony.This was the original location where the final round of the ceremony was held in. But unlike how it was previously, right now, things were completely different. The many floating viewing platforms were nowhere to be found and the only thing left standing was the lone platform where the council members and the rulers were located.Right now, on this platform, the council members watched the battle between the invading shades and the defending Seven Kings Army. From their place on the platform, there was a large water screen that displayed exactly what happened on the battlefield.Normally, as Marshals, the thirteen council members were responsible for overseeing the situation of the battle in this state of emergency. But it d
It didn't take long for the aftermath of the war to be thoroughly dealt with. With the technology of a high-level civilization, the efficiency of the Aeth in handling matters was very high.Just after three hours since the shades were repelled, the battlefield had already been cleaned up and a detailed list of the casualties, along with the total costs incurred in the battle and the gains gotten from it was already fully calculated.After the battlefield was cleaned up, the Seven Kings Army gradually retreated from the area, leaving only a few warships and personnel to watch over the abyss door. They were to make sure that no shades or other parties would sneak in through the abyss door. At the same time, the Etherium was still put under lockdown, with no one being allowed to go in or out.Any operation that usually needed to be handled outside the Etherium was put on hold and most personnel outside who held relevant tasks apart from those with sensitive identit
It has been two weeks since the shades invaded the Aeth and during this time, a lot of things had happened.After the shades were repelled, things went back to normal for the Aeth. Because not many of their normal operations had been affected much by the invasion, it didn't take long for everything to go back to normal.In these two weeks, there were only a few things that happened that were of note to anybody. One of these things was the mourning service that was held on the seventh day after the invasion for those who had given their lives to resist the invasion of the shades.On that day, a realm-wide holiday was declared in all the territories under the command of the Aeth. All Aeth citizens and subjects, along with every subsidiary and affiliate power, stopped what they were doing on that day and came out on time to mourn the dead soldiers.Also on that day, as if by tacit agreement, every other civilization or organization not affiliated with the Ae
