Chapter 336
Within the endless blue sky, golden sunlight shone upon the thin clouds .
A black airship was traveling amidst the clouds in the sky .
The airship’s control center was located right at the tip of the ship . It was an average-sized room that had minimum visibility due to the lack of light .
A woman in a long, crimson dress stood in front of the glowing control board, her hands rapidly moving around its surface .
The walls of the control center were embedded with glowing white crystals . The gentle glow it produced cast a light on her body .
*CHI*
A translucent image of a human being appeared beside the control board .
It was a bald woman wearing a tight black suit .
"Master, the Lords of Thousand Waterfall City are mustering their army at the Ana River . Black Earth seems to thirst for waging war against us as well . " The bald woman sounded unfazed .
"We have defeated the lords during the last battle, so they should be recovering from the damages . The problem is their city’s magic device that can hold the line against us for a while . But what I do not understand is why they decided to rendezvous at the river…" Vivian sounded surprised . "Did Black Earth summon their Earth Legion led by Rumpetto, the Stone-caller?"
"No, it is the Lightning Legion," the bald woman immediately replied .
"That is strange . The Earth Legion should be their strongest army . They must have forgotten how I annihilated their aerial knights years ago…They cannot do anything to us if it’s the Lightning Legion…" There was a confident smile on Vivian’s face .
Suddenly, Vivian detected movement in front .
A black string appeared just a meter right in front of her face and moved towards her forehead at lightning speed .
"Again?" Vivian raised her hand and released a ray of red light that blocked the incoming attack .
*CHI*
The black string disappeared after it touched the red light .
But at the same time, a translucent hand appeared behind about to grasp her neck .
*BOOM*
Another ray of red light was released from her hand .
The translucent hand was destroyed by the light .
*Roar*
A clamor that of a beast’s roaring reverberated not far from their location . The translucent hand shattered into pieces and soon vanished into the air .
Vivian turned around; her face had now turned cold-blooded .
"There is a spy in our airship . Check each and every one’s identity immediately!"
"Understood!" The bald woman nodded in affirmation and disappeared . She seemed to be used to seeing such assassination attempts .
Inside the control center, Vivian turned and started modifying the control board again while looking at the map of the scanned terrain nearby the airship .
After a while, she slowly raised her head and gazed at the endless sky ahead .
"He is coming…Justin, the Storm Giant…"
The situation was increasingly worsening . Vivian’s army was being targeted by three different enemies . Even if she was confident triumphing against them in the upcoming battles, she was uncertain if she had brought enough manpower to war .
The lords were assembling their army, while the storm giant was a well-known rank 4 wizard . Justin was comparable to Vivian in terms of their level of skill and his army was well-trained .
The biggest problem lay in Black Earth’s Rumpetto, the Stone-caller, though the Earth Legion itself was not a big problem . Vivian was the second most powerful council elder of Elemental Hand and had rarely lost battles .
The positions of the council elders were not determined by their skill levels . Instead, it was hereditary as all elders had their own successors who would take over once they retired or died . Molten Core River had been passed on to Vivian . The same thing happened with the gravitational magic circle that had been continuously improved over the years by her predecessors, the former third elders . This was the strongest magic circle that could aid in increasing the overall power of Molten Core River . Without it, her power would greatly reduce .
The other elders were similarly successors of certain advanced meditation techniques and special abilities .
Vivian thought for a while, feeling a bit anxious at this time . ‘The situation is getting worse for Elemental Hand . Good thing is, Black Earth did not target Angele . He should be fine . ’
Angele had still been receiving assistance from Henn, but she needed more time to restore her mentality . Average wizards could not possibly handle her attacks .
Aside from that, Vivian had sent a special troop that would patrol around the mansion without her telling Angele .
*********************************
The Nightmare Realm . The mansion by the river .
The mansion was being protected by a transparent energy shield . The entire shield looked similar to a glass dome which reflected the image of the surrounding trees .
Distorted energy waves were extending to all angles . Green vines were rapidly growing to form into green undergrowth that encircled the entire mansion .
When dawn arrived, the black beetles finally began to retreat as they feared the light .
There was a bell-shaped, red energy ball on the ground .
It was flashing rhythmically as though it was breathing .
