Book 6, Chapter 120: All-Out (2/2)
Yes, no need to advance!
Even though everyone knew that the Astrals loved to conduct research, and that they were a highly intelligent race, the truth was that their thought processes had started stagnating a long tio
Their research had always been liness to accept any form of external aid In fact, flow of information even between the Astrals themselves was exceptionally li soresults to match their prowess
Some races tended to produce results rather than talented individuals
Others were more likely to produce talented individuals than results
The Astrals were of the latter group
They were known for possessing individual researchers with incredible talent, but they had never created any earth-shaking results to show for it
The humans, on the other hand, had made countless achievements Their cultivation techniques, which had been written specifically for humans to use, had beco the weaknesses of the Astrals
The day the Astrals’ pre-existing foundation was surpassed by someone else was the day that they would die
Menelaus had seen this coo, and in the past, he had attempted to reform their culture The number of Astrals who had responded to his pleas, however, were pitifully few in number
As such, he was not at all surprised that this day had coe their aloof and divided temperament As such, it was no surprise that they were unable to defeat a foe as both powerful and united
When his thoughts reached this point, Menelaus sighed with regret “I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I never expected it to come so quickly, or for it to happen on my watch If at all possible, then I would have preferred to sacrifice myself like the tho came before me in order to protect the city”
The two foruardian spirits” had already been defeated The Astrals had lost their last tru elders heard Menelaus’s lanized the truth in his words Sorrow and regret filled their hearts as well
“But the Astrals are still the Astrals Even if they defeat us here, they ly “Even if we die, ill drag theer have any methods that can decimate their ar left,” Menelaus said “The consciousness extraction instrument”
The consciousness converter?
Everyone was stunned
This instrument was used to convert Dark Astrals with physical bodies to Astrals with consciousness bodies It was not ood for?
Menelaus slowly clenched his fist “I’ive them a taste of conversion”
The consciousness extraction instrument was only effective on the Dark Astrals If it were used on any other lifeform, they would have their vitality unconditionally drained aithout gaining a consciousness body As such, it was possible to use the instrument as a weapon The prerequisite, however, was for the lifeform to be within its area of effect
And the consciousness extraction instrument’s area of effect was extremely small
An elder spoke up “The consciousness extraction instruet at once, and not against a group of enemies”
“I know that But if there are Astrals who are willing to sacrifice themselves, then the consciousness extraction instrument’s area of effect can expand teet?”
“That depends on howto sacrifice”
The Astrals all glanced at each other Suddenly, they realized that this was the last decision they would ever make
Menelaus proudly declared, “I, the last leader of the Astrals, Menelaus, alory of lanced at each other for ato die for our race’s glory!”
The ever cold-blooded Astrals had finally felt their blood boil in their finalas ittheir opponents to hell with the Arcane Toere growing noticeably weaker by this point
The battle had begun to wind down and the inevitable conclusion was drawing closer
Sword light rained down fro mercilessly into Gloom City’s forest of toithout end
Su Chen floated in the air, observing the scene of destruction below him

Su Chen, however, reluo asked when she saw that Su Chen’s expression was cloudy instead of joyous

Su Chen calmly replied, “Tell all of our soldiers to slow their advance and start attacking in thousand-ive our enemies an opportunity to attack all of our an to fly doards “Let o take a look myself”
The closer they were to the conclusion, the rew
Menelaus, as standing at the head of Glooe in the joint army’s troopand prudent So they refused to give him any opportunity at all? It seemed that he would only be able to s up these thousand or so soldiers with his last move
But then, he suddenly saw Su Chen fly over
