286 Kurk Clans Internal War (1/2)

Krienek battled against the great elder with intense hatred on his eyes; he would have never believed that the other party would just start an internal war at the moment he lost the competition.

Both sides were losing people continuously, and that was a terrible suffering for Krienek who valued a lot all the members of the Kurk Clan.

However, the great elder and Krienek weren't that far in power, so there was no way Krienek had time to save the others while battling.

Both of them were still uninjured, but besides them, Nurvey was the only one who remained without injuries.

It wasn't that no one attacked her; a lot of members of the True Kurk Clan attacked her without mercy, but she was the princess of the Revgen Empire, so there was no way she didn't have some life-saving measures.

However, although she wasn't injured, that defense only worked for her, she was unable to save other and could only suffer internally when Serka was injured until being at the verge of the death.

Nurvey knew that Serka wouldn't die immediately with such injuries given her healing powers, but it was impossible for her to endure for too long before dying.

Nurvey had experienced Yale's Absolute Protection before, but the range and time before reappearing didn't match with their situation as some minutes already passed since the battle started and the area of the training grounds was enormous. Thus, she ended discarding the possibility of everything being reverted back due to Yale's power, which had saved them previously.

The Kurk Clan had been isolated, so no one on the outside should have been able to know about their affairs, nor no one inside should have been able to know about the matter outside.

To the True Kurk Clan, that was a perfect scenario for an internal war because no one would be able to come aiding Krienek.

However, despite the powerful isolation formation of the clan that even a Law Master wouldn't be able to break without others noticing, the Mysterious Expert was on the sky looking towards the Kurk Clan's internal war.

”So, Yale was killed by that member of the True Empire without having time to cast Absolute Protection. This is a bit early, but it doesn't pose a big problem for the plan.”

The Mysterious Expert waved its hands, and the whole continent was isolated from the outside. Moreover, that isolation was powerful enough that even Revgen was unable to notice that something had happened.

Without knowing that the Mysterious Expert was monitoring the internal war of the Kurk Clan, Krienek and the great elder continued their battle.

Initially, Krienek had the advantage because he surpassed the great elder by a level, but the fact that Krienek was too worried for others distracted him, and the great elder didn't waste that chance and ended up managing to injure Krienek.

”If you disregarded the lives of those ants, you would have won against me, but caring about others provoked your defeat and will provoke your death.”

Krienek's injury wasn't life-threatening, but his battle prowess diminished a lot due to it, so there was no way he could defend against the great elder.

Only a few minutes passed since Yale was killed and the internal war started, but at that moment the great elder was sure that the True Kurk Clan had won the war and the normal Kurk Clan would disappear forever.

He only needed one more hit to kill Krienek, and most of the members of the Kurk Clan were dead or deadly injured.

Although the True Kurk Clan had a similar number of casualties and the members were also in a dire state, they were just disposable pawns for the True Empire, so the great elder didn't worry too much.

Nurvey was also desperate because although her defenses were still working, once the Kurk Clan would have lost, it was just a matter of time that she would follow them and die in the hands of the True Kurk Clan. Moreover, she looked at Serka, who's healing power had stopped working and would die at any moment, which only increased Nurvey's desperation.

The great elder was delivering the killing hit to Krienek, but despite the high speed that a Sage Rank expert had, the hit seemed to be in slow motion. In fact, everything had turned into a slow-motion for those who were in the war.

All the members of the Kurk Clan that were still conscious knew that at the moment Krienek died, there would be no hope for them. That hit that would kill Krienek was like the killing hit to them.

On the other hand, the members of the True Kurk Clan were expecting for the great elder's hand to cut off Krienek's head to ensure their victory.

Thus, both parties felt normal that the attack that would decide the fate of everyone seemed to be slow despite being quick.

The great elder's hand was nearing Krienek's neck to behead him, and the hand was already almost in Krienek's neck provoking happiness to one side and desperation to the other.

However, the hand didn't advance anything more after being at that point. Furthermore, no one else was able to move, and everyone felt like if the time has stopped.

”Sorry, I am late.”
