Chapter 387 - Against Alien Invasion ( 1 ) (1/2)
The Khrusams with their Corpse Furnace appeared without any panic or worry on their faces.
The Furnace allows them to harness the so-called Death Energy that is still a mysterious thing to humans.
Even Wallace and Avalon were unsure of the method on how to deal with such weird power.
Nevertheless, if he thinks of it as another form of corrupted mana, then he knows that he shouldn't be afraid of it. After all, it's impossible that their furnace would have unlimited energy and it should be exhausted after being used for some time.
'Did they just sent out all of their Khrusams? Then it means that they're taking this attack seriously... I can't let this opportunity pass...' Wallace thought as he waited for them to try and stop the islands that he dropped.
There are four alien landing sites so Wallace divided his Floating Islands accordingly…
He arranged four of them in each site and he expected that even if the enemies are the strongest mutated humans, they would still have trouble dealing with it. They might even sacrifice their spacesh.i.p.s and escape from the disaster.
Unfortunately, these gold-skinned race have appeared and there's about 90 of them in each site.
As for their Corpse Furnace, there were 5 Khrusams in each of them so Wallace can see 18 Furnace acc.u.mulating power to stop the islands.
”Isn't this a bit too strong?”
Wallace muttered after seeing that the Corpse Furnace appears to be inviting a thunderstorm… Dark clouds acc.u.mulated above as the region suddenly darkened…
'Death Energy, huh… How mysterious…'
As he was observing the phenomena, he heard the Khrusams say something as they released energy from their furnace... They were inaudible so even Avalon was unable to translate what they are saying.
The energy from each furnace gathered together in a single pillar of dark light…
Boom!
The Floating Island, which was also covered by multiple Defensive Arrays, was hit by the dark light.
Wallace then saw that nothing happened on the floating island…
'Did they actually fail?' He thought.
He can see that the barrier was destroyed but nothing happened on the land itself…
'It shouldn't be… My Array shouldn't be this strong. Perhaps…' As he was guessing about the Death Energy's effect, he heard a familiar sound… It is sparks of lightning and it's coming from the floating islands!
Bzzt! Bzzt! Boom!
The explosion of the snakes was followed by the island's explosion mid-air…
”Tsk… They triggered the explosion. Good move, Khrusams…”
Wallace uttered as he clenched his fist.
He realized that his plan to create larger damage backfired. He didn't realize that they somehow had an ability to tap on the acc.u.mulating energy inside the islands before they get into a perfect range…
However, this doesn't mean that they would leave unscathed by triggering this…
Wallace then watched the Khrusams create a huge shield made of the Death Energy as the pieces of the broken island started raining down on them.
Though it's easier to defend now that they've destroyed the island, its remnants can still be very dangerous. After all, the explosion that occurred just now added some power behind the rocks that are falling on their site.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The rain of falling rocks and debris from the island continued for a long while.
The young man couldn't help but smirk for a bit after realizing that his guess was right… The Furnace's Death Energy is indeed slowly thinning as the Khrusams did their best to defend against the rocks and huge chunks of the remaining land...
'I guess they'll need a lot of corpses to refill that energy… They'll most likely try to hunt for sacrifices…'
Wallace thought as he decided to warn all the magicians on each site.
He knows that the alien race uses death energy from the corpses though he's unaware of how it works… Since they needed the corpses, they either have to find one or create one…
It means that they'll be on the offensive in a while… They have to be aware of it and not think that they'll just silently try to recover after being attacked.

Boom!
