Chapter 396 - Forbidden Art (1/2)

Miya blinked her eyes after realizing that she's about to see the Khrusam's third eye…

Since she's actually feeling the presence of mysterious energy from the corpses, she's imagining that these aliens have some sort of Beast Core within their bodies.

”Miss Chamber… I know that Wallace wanted to learn how their energy works. However, can we really do this? Though we know the Soul Art, we've never tried using it study corpses.” Miya asked.

”You're correct. However, since we can still feel their remnant energy… We will be experimenting with their behavior if we put them together with our Soul Energy. Since you have such a high sensitivity, it would be a lot easier for us… Right, there will also be some Arcanists that will be studying the Corpse Furnace later. They will help a little to find the traces of the Death Energy and we will be needed there as well…”

Miss Chamber explained their plans for the day.

The earlier they could get the secret of the Death Energy, the faster they could provide it to Wallace and help him strategize against the aliens.

Folco listened to Julian's plan.

The latter can use the Soul Art so he let him create the plan. Nevertheless, if it's true that the Aliens are indeed using another form of the same art, then Julian might be on something.

They have suffered a lot during the short time they've descended here and they couldn't attain any form of victory at all. This is why they have to find something new in dealing with these aliens.

”Soul Explosion Art… We will be at a huge risk if that art isn't powerful enough, Julian.” Folco commented after hearing the plan.

”Do not worry about it… The stronger the concentration of energy, the larger the explosion.” Julian explained after hearing Folco's concern.

Julian doesn't have his army anymore and he has to rely on Folco to supply him with the forces he needed to execute the plan.

Luckily, their automatons are already quite capable.

Though they might not be as intelligent as the one that Wallace was using, these automatons were still capable of executing complicated instructions and will be able to do Julian's plan easily. Anyway, what's important is the timing of their attack.

”Alright… I guess we'll have to take a risk. I hope that we can win this, Julian.”

Folco reached his hands as the two shake their hands to finalize their plans. He realized that with Julian's help, their loss might just be about 2000 automatons and they will be able to destroy the enemy!

If this worked, he would finally have a good report to be sent back to his country!

”Let's start preparing then…” Julian said as he's the one who needed to take a rest as well. After all, casting a forbidden art is not easy at all.

Fifteen minutes had passed after this as the Black Sovereign remained on the site they landed.

Perhaps they thought that the natives would no longer attack, as they sent out some androids to the nearest Memory Crystal Mines to start taking their resources.

”Hmmph… They're taking us too lightly…” One of Folcos' vice commanders commented after seeing the enemy's actions.

”Isn't that fine? We will be able to catch them off guard.”

Julian is now ready for their plans.

He can see that none of the imperial soldiers was sent out yet. Based on the reports they received from Avalon, the enemy is composed of multiple alien races.

The golden-skinned Aliens were just one of them…

”I guess Avalon is right again. The imperial soldiers were still incapable of handling the Mana on this planet. Only the Khrusams and androids are capable of moving out their spacesh.i.p.s. Ahh… There's also those Mech Frames and Marauder Gears.”

”That's correct… This is a chance for us.”

Julian looks at the 30 or so Khrusams guarding the spaceship. They are all looking around but with their small number, they shouldn't be able to stop him fast enough.

Boom!

An explosion occurred not too far from the Black Sovereign.

This explosion was an attack meant to destroy a batch of androids that was just sent out.

Boom! Boom!

It was then followed by other explosions as the automatons started clearing up all the androids.

Of course, the Khrusams didn't just watch as they brought their Corpse Furnace and targeted the moving Automatons!

Then, the automatons made of enhanced materials were melted by corrosive black energy that just suddenly appeared from where they stand.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Just like that, the fifty-five automatons who ambushed the androids were destroyed.
