Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Chapter 217: The 4th Tier "Military Strategist"! (1/2)

Chapter 227: Chapter 217: The 4th Tier “Military Strategist”!

Spreading out to fight individually was clearly a decision that fit well with the Monarch powerful experts’ abilities to move and battle at specific points.

However, such dispersed tactics also undeniably had a fatal weakness, which was that it would lead to “isolation”.

And an isolated enemy also meant that they were “easier to be focused and killed”.

Stars Mortal Ariel went to intercept Carnia’s court spellcaster, fully aware that the moment she left, General Rhea would come back for another kill, but she couldn’t simply ignore the enemy’s wanton destruction.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before the elderly General Rhea, directing the force of thunder with his sword, re-entered the city!

His position had been locked on the instant he entered the barrier, so when he killed his way back into the city, Fein City’s Cyart defenders also made a decision.

Crazy lightning surged continuously from General Rhea’s body, and soon enough the surrounding houses were destroyed, many citizens were killed in a moment, and it wasn’t long before the Fischer family and the members of the Lion clan arrived.

“Hahaha, do you really think you can stop me?”

General Rhea, upon seeing the lineup before him, couldn’t help but sneer, his sword blade raised coldly and mercilessly pointing towards Byrne and Viscount Bast, among others.

Viscount Bast smiled, scratching his head and muttering, “Your power isn’t even half of what it is at full strength! So it’s enough for us to handle you!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

General Rhea couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his white hair and beard trembling in the lightning, his blue eyes ablaze with a ferocity resembling that of giant dragons and wild lions, instantly covering several streets around him!

Even under the influence of the city’s barrier, where he indeed had less than half his strength, how could he be defeated by a few high-level Transmutations and many rabble?

“It seems you still do not understand the vast chasm between us!”

The old man’s posture exuded ease and dignity, his profound eyes etched with the determination settled by the years, wrinkles interlacing his face, each one seemingly a testament to countless brave journeys forward, bearing pressure, responsibility, and the weight of death.

His steps were still light, his figure firm and strong, in Rhea’s presence he was the embodiment of dignity and courage, like a child of destiny that had forged brilliant wars time and again, and contended with one Monarch powerful expert after another.

What is a Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent anyway?

Over a century, the aged General Rhea had killed countless Transmutation Extraordinary Exponents, no longer bothering to count them in his heart.

“Hmph!”

Viscount Bast’s gaze finally became grim, and he let out a cold snort, knowing he could no longer hold back his true capability.

Then he released two completely different kinds of demons. The first was a wolf-bodied, three-headed demon standing tens of meters tall, its mouth full of black poisonous smoke, while the second resembled a rotting corpse, similar to a bloated “Giant’s Outlook,” profoundly disgusting to behold.

The two demons charged at General Rhea immediately. Lightning burst forth, and although the demons were powerful, together they could only resist the surging thunder for less than ten seconds.

Byrne watched silently, noting that Viscount Bast’s contracted demons were in greater numbers than he had imagined, certainly at a steep price.

And just then, General Rhea suddenly realized that the handsome man had come up behind him!

Chris, expressionless, showed no fear of the Monarch powerful expert who could easily kill him.

“Eh?”

Not him again?

Having been ambushed by him once before, he was already on guard against the handsome man, yet this time the other party seemed to have improved his stealth even further, looking as if he had truly become invisible!

General Rhea’s speed and reaction were extremely fast. Even though he had been stealthily approached, he still managed to swiftly strike backwards with his sword, unleashing countless white lightning bolts, slamming them into Chris.

Then, General Rhea’s eyes filled with shock!

“How is this possible?”

Because his all-out slash hadn’t left a single injury on Chris.

However, a strange and eerie scene unfolded, as everyone around started vomiting blood, many seriously injured.

“What’s happening?”

“Why am I vomiting blood?”

“It feels so awful!”

Everyone was in uproar, unable to believe what had happened, while Lilian urgently deployed the power of the “Spirit-returning Tree” to heal each injured person.

Chris gazed into General Rhea’s shocked eyes, swiftly executing the mighty power of “Eyes of Conviction”.

At the same time.

Byrne stood quietly in the background, a virtual image of a military sand table appearing in his hands, and every person became a virtual chess piece on that table.

“This is the new power granted by the great Lord of the Lost.”

Only Byrne could see the virtual sand table, and among those virtual chess pieces, only General Rhea’s piece stood out distinctly, terrifying brilliant lightning continuously bursting forth from it.
