Chapter 398 - Real Motive (1/2)

Julian was still aware of the fightings in his surroundings while he's casting his spell. However, he was unable to do anything and could only watch his subordinates struggle.

He can feel that they are already weakening as they started kneeling on the ground due to their mana being depleted.

If that happens, they would have no choice but to use their country's Secret Art that allows them to manipulate their life force in exchange for obtaining a temporary burst of power.

But if that happens, they would most likely die in the process…

'Faster!'

Julian's body was still not in perfect condition even after resting for a while. His Soul Grip has taken a lot of toll on his body than he expected.

Nevertheless, he decided to push his limits and hasten his final forbidden art.

”Forbidden Secret Art: Soul Explosion!”

As soon as he released the skill, the acc.u.mulating soul energy around his body started spreading… It was like white smoke spreading everywhere…

However, this energy seems to possess intelligence as it ignored the other moving enemies and allies and targeted the black energy that the Khrusams are controlling, especially the Corpse Furnaces where the concentrated Death Energy is coming from.

The Khrusams and Mech Frames realized that they are not the target of the attack but noticed something happening on the Death Energy…

They are slowly retreating as if afraid of the foggy aura released by the one native…

As the Khrusams controlled their Death Energy to fight back, they realized that the aura was actually a dangerous ability!

They wanted to use their Third Eye's power but it was too late!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

They quickly jumped away from their Corpse Furnace!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions occurred as the Furnaces started exploding!

Apparently, any Death Energy that the aura would pass through would somehow become isolated and the Khrusams were unable to control it!

Boom! Boom!

Another set of explosions occurred as the Mech Frames near them were also hit by the blast!

The Soul Explosion Art was effective against the alien's mysterious power!

Julian saw the explosion as he smirked for a bit… He then lost his consciousness due to exhaustion…

”Guh!”

”Aargh!”

”Commander Kyle! Take Sir Julian away! We can't hold on!”

Kyle heard the other three sages as he didn't waste his time to save the Royal Court Magicians. If he delayed any longer, the sacrifice of the three would be wasted.

The three had actually defended their group using their life force… Apparently, they were included within the Soul Explosion Art that was released. It is due to the existence of the Death Energy surrounding them.

If they were not prepared for this, they would've definitely died together with some of the aliens that were caught within the explosions.

”Haaa!”

Commander Kyle shouted as he carried the unconscious Julian… He covered their bodies with a powerful Mana Shell after the three created an opening for them.

Bam!

As soon as they got out… The barriers of the three sages collapsed as they were burned alive together with the Khrusam's Death Energy.

He then saw a group of automatons and magicians approaching them. They are here to rescue the two…
