Chapter 665 Who Could be that Unlucky? (2/2)
In a demiplane thick with Nature's presence amidst the Void, the Nature's Magister stood over her domain, studying the unusual behemoth that appeared before her curiously.
The behemoth itself resembled a floating hill and possessed dozens of squid-like tentacles, its back grew full of various fungi and plants. Galanoud could tell that those were merely appearance, and that the true form of that otherworld behemoth was releasing sheer presence of life behind the fungi, plants, and tentacles.
However, she did not make a move.
”Strange, you don't have ill intent,” she said, furrowing her brow.
”Then why are you here?”

In the Fairyland, the four powerful Fairy Queens looked at each other, materializing their bodies despite having become part of the world. Little palm-sized humans of four different colors, one of them puzzledly asked, ”Strange… Why isn't there anyone here?”
”Sent to other Legends, perhaps?”
”That's not quite right. Apart from the few who are maintaining the seal and stopping the enemies, Barnil, William and the other Legends are patrolling the Void for more possible invaders… Wait, could it be you're saying that those humans are underestimating us, which is why they are not giving us any opponents?” The most agitated fire element Fairy Queen thus promptly combusted in rage at once. ”Damn it! When I….”
Before she could finish, the earth element Fairy Queen who was the most composed but also the weakest cut her short. ”Don't get upset. There must be some mistake with the warping: if we lack one enemy here, that means the others must be fighting one more.
”Right… That's right!”
The other Fairy Queens blinked and sighed together in return. ”But to prevent enemies from escaping, the power of the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds has sealed our worlds that would act as battlegrounds, so we can't offer support…”
”Who could be that unlucky?”

Meanwhile, the Demon Generals Helm and Saluka that were still inside the dimensional turbulence did not know who could be that unlucky, only that they were not teleported directly to a different world like the other invading champions. Circles of dimensional ripples quaked faintly around the bodies of the two Demon Generals, resisting the power of the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds. Though it could not stop the forced warping, it could elongate the interim of the warping, granting the ambushed Demon Generals time to react.
”His Majesty foresaw things again… If not for the Abyssal Will's barrier, we would have been thrown to the enemy's home turf.”
Focusing and adjusting the energy flow in its body, Saluka, the Insectoid Demon General did its best to complete its combat form, even as it grumbled to Helm the Beholder Demon General beside it. ”I said, it's not time yet… We must wait until Mycroft weaken and were at their most chaotic when we invade—His Majesty may have once prophesized of their deterioration and fall, hence carving out a plan… But it's clearly not the case.”
”Fate never stays the same, and foreseeable destinies are not set in stone. Mycroft is powerful, so it's not unusual that one or two champions who could change fate appeared.”
Beside it, Helm was adjusting its form as well.
”That's why we're here, to ascertain the fact…” it replied calmly. ”Only us failures would be sent to execute such missions.”
