Book 7, Chapter 25: Duel
Dehout the battlefield
The floating fortress in the sky was s everywhere
Even so, the ruler of the skies had eventually eht stood at the head of the city, gazing down His gaze was quite focused and serious
Lonely Skyleap charged over with excitement and said, “Your Majesty, our three days of pursuit has finished Less than a tenth of the Beasts reer pose a threat to us”
“Mrunted faintly
Lonely Skyleap was a bit surprised “Your Majesty, is there a reason why you don’t seem to be happy about this?”
“I just don’t think that it’s really worth getting happy over,” Eternal Night replied cal happy over?” Lonely Skyleap was stunned
Eternal Night continued indifferently, “The Beasts have incredibly fast reproductive cycles, sotheir nu Now, they’ve been backed into a corner, and there is an abundance of resources available to them Since there’s no need for them to kill each other, the Beasts will be able to return to their for happy over? On the other hand, we Harpies have suffered quite a few casualties during this battle, and our arine that both Sky City and the Floating Points were da his head
Eternal Night was correct The Beasts’ reproduced incredibly quickly, and the strength they had lost would quickly be recovered with the passage of ti De h Without any interference froain the strength of an Eth reached a certain level would they begin to fight with one another due to their vastly different personalities
This was virtually an ingrained habit by this point After all, the hued to defeat the Beasts before in the past under the banner of the Illustrious Diving Dynasty, yet weren’t the Beasts still the most powerful today?
Of course, it wasn’t like Eternal Night had no way of dealing with this situation
Striking while the iron was hot and taking control of this uncivilized territory, culling the number of Beasts as needed was more than sufficient
Of course, there was still a Desolate Beast to think about
Whenever the Beasts were in particularly dire straits, the Desolate Beasts would reawaken
However, Eternal Night had no clue which Desolate Beast would be the one stopping theh the Harpies had won, Sky City had also suffered its fair share of dae The momentary malfunction of the Sark’s Nucleus in particular had played an important role, and furtherPoints, the Origin Energy Deed and wouldn’t be fully repaired for quite so Points would be participating in the battle against the humans
Even Lonely Skyleap couldn’t help but question whether they had ht decision After all, they had no choice but to press on towards their duel with the humans and had no time to expand their base of operations
Even so, this was the truth Just as the Beasts weren’t totally unified, neither were the Intelligent Races Otherwise, they really ht have had a chance to overturn the status quo thousands of years ago
The world situation refused to bend to the will of a single !” Just as Lonely Skyleap was deep in thought, a Harpy soldier suddenly rushed in and handed Eternal Night a letter
The letter was fashi+oned out of a Thought-Uttering Jade When Eternal Night picked it up, the jade flashed brilliantly, and its contents were iht’s hed “The humans were victorious, and Youthful Labor failed”
“Youthful Labor failed” Lonely Skyleaphis head
Youthful Labor was handpicked by hied to endure the consciousness ed to refine a kind of special soul poison This poison was incredibly rare, and the way the poison had to be administered was also extremely secretive It should have been quite hard to notice, but unfortunately, he had still failed in the end
“So he failed, did he,” another low voice spoke This time, however, the speaker was a black shadow that had silently appeared next to Eternal Night
That figure was an Astral elder
“Yes Just as you predicted, right?” Eternal Night said cal, Your Majesty? How could it be as I predicted?”
Eternal Night chuckled coldly “This kind of consciousness poison can only be used by the Astrals Su Chen must kno that we have allied with the Astrals There is no longer any room for compromise between us”
The Astral elder chuckled “The huht for the right to rule has no place for co on another reason for en deal Su Chen has exterht with him until the very end Your Majesty, you will definitely defeat the Boundless Sect as long as our two races are united”
“Two races?” Lonely Skyleap raised an eyebrow “The Harpies are just taking in a dog that lost its ed by Lonely Skyleap’s words, but all he did was chuckle in the end “You ht shot Lonely Skyleap a glance, clearly disapproving of what he had just said Lonely Skyleap could only tactfully lower his head in silence
Eternal Night said, “Su Chen has not died, and the hureat victory The letter my observer sent me doesn’t detail how many casualties they suffered, but their ht is imminent All that remains is to prepare for the duel For the sake of our success, you can begin to carry out your plan, Pablo”
The Astral elder chuckled when he heard this “Your wish is my command, Your Majesty”
He bowed and retreated into the shadows
Once the Astral elder had disappeared, Lonely Skyleap said, “Your Majesty, this Astral is not trustworthy They ainst Su Chen today, but toainst us!”
“I know But Su Chen is far ht replied
Lonely Skyleap felt a shi+ver run up his spine
An idea surfaced in his head, and Lonely Skyleap couldn’t resist saying, “Your Majesty, if you had a chance to go back in time to when Su Chen offered himself up to you, would you still choose to ith hiht shot hilance and didn’t reply
All he said was, “That’s a stupid question”
