Chapter 318 - City Under The City Part Four (1/2)

”The other news I have with me is a good one during the emergence of the Bestial Formation. Four godly entities had appeared. I can say with 100% certainty that only one of them is still alive.”

A change appeared on the faces of the numerous individuals present in the large room. In their heart, horror and panic had been caused by the godly entities that had appeared behind their walls. Those strong otherworldly cultivators had caused them to feel utter despair the moment they acted.

”Won't it come later bite at our back?”, asked one of the leaders in a low tone.

Fell caught the man's facial expression, and couldn't help but agree with him. Nonetheless, he hadn't killed that entity with a very specific purpose, and that was to strike fear in the heart of New Casablanca's enemies.

”Maybe.”, he responded genuinely and didn't lie to the individuals that led the armed forces. He had come to learn that the decision making related to survival had pushed the armed forces through a small coup-d'état that changed the decisional balance of the city.

”Although I don't think he will be troublesome to deal with. If I sense him nearby, I can take care of him before he even approaches the Core.”, he added as he gave his word on taking care of that entity. In the end, he was the one who had taken the decision to let it escape, as he had preferred focusing on Thol'Yr.

It was Fell's responsibility to make sure the last godly entity wouldn't come back to bite at their backs. Especially when the armed forces entire focus would be on the deadly monsters of the Bestial Formation.

Silence spread through the room, as the individuals that led the army began pondering on the new information they had acquired. The excitement induced by the death of the entities had made them temporarily forget the first information given by the young cultivator.

”How many time can the energy shield buy us?”, asked Fell as he felt dampened by the heavy silence that basked the venue.

Click! Click! Click!

A young man furiously typed on the keyboard, as though he had been waiting for the moment someone was going to ask that question. A few seconds passed as the number of input he was executing rose in intensity, and before long, he raised his head away from the computer he had and exclaimed softly.

The youth's voice didn't contain any of the might or respect the other individuals in the room had, but instead contained a vigorous naivety that nonetheless didn't make him fear to speak in front of the large venue of leaders.

”The energy shields will be dropping in exactly two days.”, he exclaimed with a strange tone that made it obvious his nostrils were partially clogged.

Fell's hand rose to his chin, and his sight moved to the source of the voice. He fell in deep thought for a few seconds; his fingers rhythmically tapped his jaw as he focused on his mental computation. He had seen the energy shields in close range and had even traversed it using the spatial element dwelling in his soul. He knew that the number given by the youth would only be true if none of the beasts touched the energy shields during the next two days.

He opened his lips softly, before exclaiming in a voice that showed he was making computation on the spot.

”That number doesn't take into account the variable of the creature attacking the shields.”, he added swiftly turning around. ”My work here is finished, I have matters to attend, and I don't plan on infringing on the armed forces' decisions.”

His sentence ended the moment his step left the door of the room, leaving most of the leaders silent after his departure. The news that came with his return was anything but good, but the event had served enormously to the young cultivator who had managed to gather valuable information his own person.

”Looks like they recognized me…”, he muttered silently as he left the two-floored bivouac serving as the leaders' office. ”Nothing surprising if I take into account my current strength. What was strange, was that they seemed to deeply trust my words…”, he added as he fell in deep thought for the rest of the journey.
