Chapter 171 - Irreconcilable (2/2)
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On a slightly distant part of the territory of Chonk's army, a jade green wolf could not help but perk up its ears after hearing loud explosion sounds coming from his territory. This jade green wolf was none other than Chonk, who could not help but feel that something bad has happened within his territory.
With this in mind, he muttered to himself, ”Heavens, please tell me that nothing bad happened. Don't tell me anything bad happened.”
While thinking about this, the negative thoughts in his mind could not help but grow larger, making him think that something incredibly bad has happened. With the loud sounds still being picked up by his ears, Chonk decided to get closer to the origin of the sounds, running as fast as possible.
”Master! Master! Bad news!” Just as he was about to arrive at the area where the origin of the sound was, a familiar voice to him resounded in his mind, making him stop in an area filled with trees. This voice was filled with worry and guilt, which made Chonk feel like his worst nightmare has come true. Although he now had a hunch that something bad had indeed happened, he could not help but still hold on to the hope that nothing bad had happened, composing himself as he responded, ”What happened, Horell? Speak.”
A few seconds of silence had passed after Chonk's response before Horell replied to his question.
Nevertheless, the reply he had obtained was more than enough for his hope to be crushed. He had a feeling that he was on the verge of losing his mind due to the news that he had obtained.
”Master, the first six divisions have been wiped out by their respective division leaders.” This was what Horell said to Chonk. He also added, ”Only a few members of those divisions were able to escape.”
Chonk took a few deep breaths to compose himself, knowing very well that he was surely going to go insane. After calming himself down, he asked, ”Why did they do it?”
”I have no clue, Master,” Horell hastily responded before adding, ”They're not making any other moves after that, which is weird.”
Hearing that the six division leaders did not go any further, Chonk could not help but feel a weird sense of ease as he replied, ”Wait for me to get there, Horell.”
After hearing Horell respond to his last statement, Chonk then continued dashing towards the origin of the sound, concluding that those loud sounds were made by the six division leaders as stated by Horell. It only took Chonk a few minutes to arrive at the area, his expression filled with intense shock after looking at the sight in front of him.
Since the seven divisions of his army were situated here, that meant that a large clearing was made for them. Almost every part of the clearing was transformed into a ruined state, with the remains of the killed Inanimates strewn all over. He let out a sigh of relief after seeing that a small area of the clearing was still clear, with a barrier housing a decent amount of members, as well as Horell in the center.
After that, he looked at the six division leaders that killed their respective division members. These six division leaders were positioned in a line, all of them facing Chonk with a slightly arrogant aura emanating from each one of them. Suppressing his intent to kill them then and there, he asked with a loud voice, ”Why did you kill them? Speak and I might even spare you.”
”Spare us?” Rather than talking one by one, the six division leaders talked simultaneously, which slightly took Chonk aback. Nevertheless, he easily adjusted to this as they continued talking.
”You went ahead and sent someone to manipulate our members, transforming the alliance into a chaotic hellhole,” the division leaders continued to talk, making Chonk think that something was off with their words. They then continued, ”Don't you think it's fair and just for us to retaliate with what you've done to our alliance?”
”Alliance?” At that point, Chonk decided to release his rage, emanating a huge aura of murderous intent as he snarled. He then said, ”Hoh? You six are actually a part of that shitty alliance? Quite commendable for you six to keep up a facade for so long.”
”Who said we're part of the alliance?” At that, the six division leaders malevolently chuckled as one of the division leaders stopped talking. Not long after, this division leader started rolling around by itself in shock, stopping as it noticed Chonk, who was looking at it.
Without hesitation, the division leader sent out a thread of energy that said, ”L-leader! T-the alliance! They have someone who can—”
Just before that division leader could finish its words, the remaining five could not help but coldly laugh as a beam was sent out towards the former, splitting it into two. It was at this point that Chonk's perception of the five division leaders had changed, sensing the sincere aura from the currently dead division leader's words.
”Who are you?” Chonk asked the five division leaders with his rage still at its peak, to which they replied, ”You don't have to know who I am. What you should only know is that I'm going to make your life a living hell. I'll make sure you won't be able to destroy the Tempest Branch Alliance.”
”Is that you, Herellia?” Chonk could not help but ask before adding, ”If it's you, then I'm sure you know what's going to happen next.”
”Unfortunately for you, I'm not Herellia,” the five division leaders replied simultaneously. They then continued, ”I'd suggest you kill these five division leaders, lest you want me to make your other plans fail.”
Hearing the mocking tone from the division leaders' words, Chonk could not help but snarl as he replied, ”Whoever you are, relay my next words to Herellia.”
”I wanted to give you one more chance to surrender, but with this move you've done, there's no turning back.”
”As if she needs to hear that,” the five division leaders laughed at Chonk's words as they replied.
”If I find out who you are, I'm gonna make sure you're the first one to die,” Chonk said before going ahead and charging towards these five division leaders. He then swiped with one of his front paws as a large amount of Wind energy particles congregated towards its claws.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In that instant, the five division leaders were split into multiple fragments, carried away by the strong breeze of the wind. While that happened, Chonk could not help but hear a faint laughing sound that gradually became weaker as he turned around to look at the unscathed area.
”Horell.” Chonk conjured a strand of energy, to which he sent towards Horell in an instant.
”Yes, Master?” Horell replied.
”Although we only have a few dozen members left…”
”Let's start Code Omega.”
