Chapter 149 - Past events (2/2)

The soldiers kept silent and half knelt on the ground as an army ”Your words will always be engraved deeply in our hearts, General Lionel!”

So his name is Lionel. Lionel turns around and before he could get questioned, he tells Nightin ”Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you next.”

Once every ten years ever since that day, the hundred and eight first grade kingdoms will gather together at the heart of the kingdoms, in a mysterious floating island which only grants them access ever since the combined discovery. The few Supreme kingdoms in the open and dark gathered up and pressured them, forcing them to surrender the harvest they have reaped and almost started a war.

It was a blessing that they realised that they themselves were actually being blocked out by a mysterious barrier, those who attacked it suffer internal injuries of different degrees according to their attack power, those who attempted to charge through blindly while incinerated into ashes, those who were foolish enough to try sneaking in from underground or arrays had their bones absorbed by the ground and souls extracted.

During that unforeseen crisis and event, the Supreme kingdoms incurred heavy losses and a massive amount of casualties, many weapons were lost including the legacies of some families which caused a steep decline in the overall strength of those Supreme kingdoms. Many arrays were wasted for nought in that futile expedition, some key holders of the Supreme Kingdoms had fallen there because of the passageway before the entrance.

The passageway appears to be created by a divine being which possessed divine abilities of necromancy before death, the undead warriors and soldiers didn't just have cultivation comparable to that of Great Saints at least, hundreds of them were in the Demigod realm as well which wasn't a force to be reckoned with even with their combined force. The worst is that they had to face off against twenty seven Overlord realms undead that possess intelligence, one of them was even at the 88th star at that time, wiping out their core armies due to the lack of preparation.

The Supreme kingdoms were caught off guard and by the time reinforcements arrived, the only thing they could do was wait until the Great General of a Supreme Kingdom arrived. In the Supreme Kingdoms, it's a must to appoint a Supreme General at least of the 85th Overlord star, exactly thirteen stars above the first grade kingdom rules. This difference was more than enough to create a

unbreachable gap in strength.

The first to arrive at that time however wasn't any of the Great Generals, but Lionel who was only at the Demigod realm seventh transformation at that time, his strength was average in the entire army but enough to be in the core army, if not for the injury which he suffered from a previous battle which sent him into the backup army.

When he scanned around after arriving before everyone else, he had apparently spotted a well concealed button among the flowers and bushes before formulating a plan to sneak into the chambers and steal what he needs.

”Ahh! My arm! One of the cultivators cried out in a blood curdling scream before getting devoured by some puppet spiders wandering in groups of four. Seeing the same scenes unfolding before his eyes again and again just like a video on repeat, a nauseous feeling made its way up his gut, only after much effort then did he manage to suppress that terrifying fear and steel his mind.

To save them, I have to do it. It may not be beneficial towards the Voyager Kingdom, but hundreds and even thousands of lives were at stake here. The angel in his heart had won the battle and destroyed the spear of the devil with its glowing halo, making its way to assist them as a finger pushed down on the button before landing on the ground.

”Damn you human!” A voice cried out from behind him as a spear pierced through his chest, which he soon pulls out after when all the undead finally turns into stone. For someone at the demigod realm, just strong physical attacks wouldn't mean anything anymore and even the strongest of physical attacks would at most make them suffer slight injuries.

”So, what happened after you became the saviour of everyone. How did the Supreme Kingdom react, did they pay you handsomely?” Nightin asks when he noticed that Lionel was done narrating about his past.
