277 Conflict within the Magi army (1/2)
In essence, the Forness Continent was now under the complete control of the Magi Invader Force. The force field was so powerful that even if the entire force of the Heavenly race inside the Beta Heavenly World were to attempt to take back the control of the continent, even if they were willing to die for it, they would still lose.
There was one downside, however, in the fact that the force field now covered the entire Fornes Continent. The magic towers generated such a suction over the natural energy of the world that trying to improve your own energy pool with what was left became impractical. This affected mostly Rank 0, 1, and 2 life forms. Those at Rank 3 had long gone stop depending on the natural energy of the world to increase their power.
The Soul Forging leaders did not care about the inconvenience that the force field could provoke on the weaker life forms. Their current goal was to harvest as many resources as they could, and populating this world was not something they were focusing on.
The Rank 4 Magi were happily chatting among themselves, but there was one who did not join them.
Totto gazed at the celebration. Although he was happy about achieving the task given to him, he knew that things were not so simple. Unlike the rest, he understood very well that the true enemy that they are facing inside this world is not the Heavenly race, and the force field of the Ten Tower Formation could not stop him.
The Lich turned to the side as he noticed a group flying in his direction. They were the Fallen, and Nero was leading them.
He was not the only one to notice this group. The Rank 4 Magi no longer laughed and adopted a serious expression as they analyzed the Fallen before approaching Totto's side.
The eyes of the seven winged Fallen narrowed when he noticed their attitude. Nero could predict the thought that passed for the minds of some of them, and he merely sneered before focusing on Totto.
”We have fulfilled our part of the deal. I want to use the World Gate now.”
Silence reigned after Nero spoke those words. The Fallen were a powerful force, and the assistance they brought against the Heavenly race was immense. Now that Heinz could no longer enter the Beta Heavenly World, the Magi did not see how they could expand their domains to other continents without them.
Of course, that would affect the relationship between the two sides and could incite conflicts. But the Magi had control over the force field, and they could easily suppress the Fallen with it.
From the Rank 4 Magi group, a man with a muscular body and silver eyes walked forward. There was a ferocious aura around him. Thick chains were coming out from his back and formed something similar to a cape.
Totto stared at this person, and a peculiar light appeared on his eyes. The man's name was Uluizer and was a Bloodline Magus. Despite having the King bloodline of a Two-Headed Inferno Wolf, the purity of his bloodline was shallow, so he had been stuck at the Peak of Rank 4 for hundreds of years, and his battle power had never been extraordinary.
However, not too long ago, Uluizer's bloodline obtained a significant upgrade, as did his strength. He kept a low profile at the beginning, but once Heinz advanced to Rank 5, he started to take a more active role. He even formed a small group with the other two Magi who followed the bloodline path as well.
Uluizer's behavior had become more domineering as his power increased, and it was not rare for him to question Totto's role as the leader of the Magi Invader Force in the last few weeks. The Lich had known Uluizer for a long time, and the change in his attitude arose some questions on his mind.
Heinz had made sure all those who were part of the Magi Invader Force were not connected to troublesome individuals, when he invited them. But a lot of time had passed, and things could have easily changed.
”Leader of the Fallen, Nero, you will have to excuse us, but we need to discuss some matter regarding our alliance.” Uluizer had a respectful expression on his face, but his voice carried a condescending tone.
Anger appeared on Nero's face. Despite being under the force field of the Ten Tower Formation, there wasn't the slightest sign of concern as he faced the Magi, but before he could act, Totto spoke.
