Chapter 986 - The Inner kingdom: The Sacrifice (1/2)

Chapter 986

(Unedited)

…

King Grav is sitting in front of a monitor watching the battle happening in the capital city. He laments the deaths and the suffering of his people, but he did not feel deep remorse. Knowing the truth about this world has somewhat freed him from those feelings as a ruler.

However, after talking privately with Shin Jiao he realized that he wanted to leave this place. He wanted to go out and see the immortal land.

He knew that his strength might not be enough to exit this plane, but upon discovering that the Im siblings were able to do it, he knew that he has a chance.

To live an immortal life is the dream of a mere mortal man.

As he continues musing about the discussion he had with Shin Jiao he suddenly saw on the monitoring screen strange dark energy that suddenly came out of the castle. It slowly devoured the castle ground turning everything into ruins, and then into dust.

”This… how is this possible?!” he suddenly cried out as he stood up from his seat.

He did not know what just happened but if the castle is destroyed then… the secret chamber and everything inside of it would be gone.

He could not help but worry.

Meanwhile, outside, the citizen who saw the slowly growing ball of energy that has destroyed the palace is now threatening to spread all over the capital.

'What in world is that?! Take the soldiers into the ship! We must retreat immediately!' shouted someone from the coms.

Suddenly, a black energy bolt hits a flying ship and made it crash towards a building.

This caused more panic in the coms as the troops are commanded to withdraw.

At this time, three figures suddenly flew high up above the city facing the now destroyed castle ground. Behind them as a few Grand Magus that is looking with grim expression at the dark orb growing by the second.

”What do you think we should do, Grand Magus Mao?” one of the old men in the group asked.

”We cannot stop such turbulent dark energy… even the barrier of the castle was not able to hold it.”

”Then, are we going to let the capital city be destroyed?”

”There must be a way…”

”After the sacrifices of the soldiers, are we just going to let this end like this?”

”Alright… This might be a long shot, but I will try my best to contain the chaotic energy… Grand Magus Mao, Grand Magus Mason… could you please lend me your strength.” Shin Jiao said with a smile.

He handed the two mages a map and instruction as the three of them separated forming a triangle formation.

At this time, the dark soldiers and the people inside the castle are already dead for sure as they were the first ones to fall into the sphere of influence of the chaotic dark energy.

With the formation, the three simultaneously wrote the array inscription in the air. After that, a light connected the three-point array and quickly stopped the chaotic dark energy.

Then seeing that the array is effective, Shin Jiao quickly formed an array formation in front of him. He did not stop writing in the air as one array after another was activated as they glow brightly. The arrays stock in front of Shin Jiao creating something like a glowing tube.

”Not enough…” Shin Jiao said as his hand continues writing in the air.

Beads of sweat could be seen forming on his forehead and his finger did not stop writing the arrays.

Meanwhile, the two Grand Magus are already gritting their teeth as they tried to hold the growth of the chaotic dark energy.

”Damn it! I can't hold on any longer! Whatever you are planning Shin, you better do it now!” shouted Phil Mason who has suddenly spat a mouthful of blood.

But before he could fall, a Grand Magus suddenly appears beside him and extended his hand on his shoulder. Then a large amount of mana suddenly began pouring into Phil Mason's body. Making him persevere some more.

The other Grand Magus also did the same and flew towards the two while the rest were standing behind Shin Jiao.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao could not help but take out another mana stone inside his dimension and inserted it into his armor.

The depletion of the mana stones in his armor is a bit quicker as the chaotic dark energy forces its way out of the array.

”I think this is enough!” Shin Jiao shouted as he suddenly punches his right hand towards the stacking arrays in front of him.
