224 Backed At The Corner (1/2)
Flash!~ BOOOOOM!~
A blinding explosion of light was seen at the northeast side of the island where the Alliance was hidden.
The eyes of those who are inside the Alliance HQ had there gaze locked at the direction of the explosion. A frown can be seen in everyone's face, hoping for a positive result after successfully hitting the Emperor for more than six times using the Flash Cannon.
At the moment, Flash Cannon has already exhausted its energy reserve. The target was perfectly hit but it seems it was rendered ineffective against the Emperor.
With a helpless sigh, the Second Elder suddenly declared, ”Everyone, get ready for plan Exudos.”
***
The battle against the earth's defender against the hybrid Elementals was still ongoing at the background as a dark figure with long white tails unfolding behind. It was the Emperor of the Dark Realm.
A wicked smile formed at its pitch blackface, a cold and chilling presence was felt by the fighters nearby including the hybrid Elementals.
The Emperor scanned the area with a confident gaze. Everyone who meets his eyes immediately backed away while some had subconsciously turned their face away.
The white glowing tails at his back contained the essence of the Elemental God that he has devoured. Thanks to it, he was able to resist the powerful Flash Cannon shots and other light attributed attacks.
Unlike the normal Emperor where those under him bows down in respect, the Emperor of the Dark Realm is known for his very unpredictable attitude and the tendency of killing those who were near him as if they were bugs.
Thus, those who stood by his side tried to keep their presence as silent as possible and only those who are not afraid of death were able to stare directly at his eyes.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped at the direction where the Alliance HQ is located; and as if talking directly to someone, he asked,
”Where did you hide the Alpha?”
The Second Elder inside the HQ frowned at the monitoring screen. The three red eyes of the Emperor was staring straight at their direction, specifically at the long-range real-time camera that was relaying the image.
The Second Elder knew that the Emperor's question was directed to him.
”And why should I answer you?” the Second Elder responded with a whisper.
The Emperor heard the Second Elder's answer despite the kilometer gap between them. As beings who were far beyond the normal, there was a specific wavelength that allowed them to talk no matter how far they are from each other.
”You have no choice but to answer me. Unless you want everyone here to perish.”
”I do not think you have what it takes.”
”Oh really?”
Then suddenly, the Emperor's figure melted like a black liquid and fell to the ground before being absorbed by the earth like a super sponge.
The next he appeared, the Emperor was already standing behind the Second Elder Guardian inside the Alliance HQ.
And as if the Second Elder has already predicted the sudden arrival of the Emperor, there was no one else with him inside at the moment.
”Hehe, I see you are prepared!~,” said the Emperor as he stepped closer to the composed Elder Guardian.
”Your cheap trick won't win.” the Second Elder Guardian calmly replied.
”Let's see about that!”
BOOOOOM!!!!~
And without any warning, the Alliance HQ suddenly exploded from the inside. Huge blackthorn that sprouted from within was responsible for the sudden collapse of the metallic building.
”Hahahahaha! How is that!? You call this your alliance's headquarters? It crumbled like a sandcastle!” The Emperor laughed victoriously as the massive thorn that destroyed the whole Alliance HQ shrunk and returned to the normal shape of the Emperor.
The remaining defenders at the field saw it and talked to their comrades.
”It was just as the Second Elder has predicted...”
”So, what's next?”
”Let's back out now and wait for it.”
The members of the Alliance knew that this is part of their plan and proceeded to their next action. The Elementals, Dragons, Ancient Humans, and Arkhans swiftly backed out from their individual fights.
KHIAAAA!~
”Their base has crumbled!”
”Look! They are backing away!”
”Get them!”
KHIAAAA!~
And just when the hybrids were about to grab their targets, a sudden pillar of light came from above and pulled they supposed to be victims towards the sky. The eyes of the hybrid Elementals instinctively rose up only to see a massive Guardian space ship the size of the whole island suddenly appeared.
