Chapter 392 - Against Alien Invasion ( 6 )

The Celestial Being looked at the golden-skinned alien race surrounding him… 

They are emitting an incredible form of energy that is not similar to Mana or Astral Energy at all… Their power is coming from a mysterious source from their bodies and he can feel that it is being concentrated on their forehead.

Whoosh~

The net made of the black energy surrounded him but he decided not to dodge to see what it will do to his body. 

Though he's unaware of what it could do to him, he's completely unafraid to face it. After all, this is the first time he had seen such power and he wanted to experience it as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the Khrusams celebrated a little after seeing that they've captured the Celestial… They are aware that they are being underestimated by their enemy after they saw him just stood there without resisting.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After the Celestial was covered by multiple nets of Death Energy, it formed a large sphere trapping the entity inside.

They heard a pulsing noise as the trapped entity is probably attempting to free himself…

'It's too late… You won't escape our Judgment Sphere.'

'Too arrogant… He's probably one of the strongest beings on this planet and he's thinking that he's still powerful in front of us.'

'Let's not make the same mistake… Let's kill him now.'

'That's right, let's wrap this up…'

Boom!

The weak noises coming from inside the black sphere started getting louder. The Khrusams have noticed that the Celestial was probably being desperate right now. 

They then held their Corpse Furnace tightly as they generated a stronger Death Energy…

Boom! Boom!

The noise is getting louder and louder as the creature that they trapped doesn't seem to be affected by the corruption of their power… He's not weakening at all!

They found it quite weird since there shouldn't be any other race capable of fending off the Death Energy they have. 

The Khrusams looked at each other as they have decided to take this matter seriously… There has never been an alien race that could last more than 30 seconds within their Judgment Sphere.

Then, as soon as they made their resolve, they clasped both of their hands as they concentrated on their final attack…

Hmph!

Finally, it is time to use their third eye! They wouldn't normally use this eye unless they are determined to erase someone's existence. 

After all, even just the excess power that the eye gives to them was already enough to kill even the elite soldiers of the Imperial Army. It is such a terrifying power that made the Meredith Empire accept them as their equal in the alliance they made.

Thud! Thud!

As they were readying their third eye's attack, they can still hear the entity trying to find its way out… However, none of them thinks that it would be capable of accomplishing such a feat… At most, they are just worried that it takes a very long time before they can wear him out. 

They do not want to spend too much time with this being since another native of this planet is still inside the spaceship. They have to deal with this now…

Haa!

The Khrusams then released the terrifying power acc.u.mulating on their third eye as the Death Energy covering the Celestial Being grew larger… There was also a tinge of radiating purple within the sphere!

Thud… Thud… Thud…

They can still hear the entity inside the sphere but his attempt to get out is getting weaker every second… until it finally disappeared. 

'Hold it! We need to make sure that he's already dead before releasing sphere…'

'Of course… A couple of minutes should be enough… There's no way he could survive such a deadly attack…'

The power that was released using their third eye wasn't just to increase the strength of their Judgment Sphere. It is also used to add a higher level of Corrosive Energy that would surely eat up any living creatures.

They know that their attack is effective and it's only a matter of time.

***

As the Celestial Being was being trapped by the Khrusam's Judgment Sphere, the battle at Montego was already reaching its end…

Apparently, the lonely Black Sovereign had caused massive damage to the small country…

It was able to destroy the 12 Mage Towers close to the site!

It means that there are no longer any powers that could suppress the spaceship. After all, any ground forces will be easily annihilated without the Tower's support behind them… 

Well, they can still consider building Mage Towers close to the site if they wanted to but there's no way that the aliens would allow such actions.

Nevertheless, the Black Sovereign wasn't unscathed in the battle…

After Wallace dropped his Floating Islands and was stopped by the Khrusams, Julian Esmeria and his team didn't let the opportunity be wasted as they sent everything that their tower could do to destroy the enemy…

Earth's Hallow, a spell that is approaching the limit of Grade 5 was used by multiple Mage Towers…

Ice-Fire Tornado, a spell from a one-time use Mana Artifact of Julian was similarly used… This is one of the strongest weapons that he made himself.

This spell was the last trigger to destroy the Black Sovereign's six-layered barriers.

Finally, after confirming that the barriers were no longer functioning, he used a forbidden Soul Art, Soul Grip…

The spell can target a whole area and any living beings will have their souls pull towards the caster's Mana Artifact…

It is such an unreasonable Mana Spell that even Julian wasn't willing to use…

After all, if he made a mistake casting the spell, not only his enemy will be affected but including his soul and his people's soul will be pulled inside the artifact trapping them for eternity…

'This is weird… How come it is not effective against them?!'

Julian was speechless after seeing that his Soul Grip was ineffective… He couldn't understand how it happened as he was sure that the aliens still have souls with them!

He firmly believes that humans including other races are composed of three important things… The body, the soul, and the spirit… Without these three, they shouldn't be able to live at all!

'What's going on?'

Julian asked himself in confusion. He then glanced at the Black Sovereign with a bit of fear on his face. 

'Are we fighting unkillable aliens, after all?' He thought…

However, he noticed that the Black Sovereign became unresponsive after using the last spell. 

'Ugh… Though I want to attack, we no longer have any Tower… On the other hand, they still have the Mech Frames with them guarding at the sides…'

Julian sighed as he looked at the silent Black Sovereign… 

They are now in a stalemate… The Black Sovereign seems to have exhausted their powers but they still have mobile units outside. 

Of course, their country still has a lot of soldiers and magicians but they are just large in number…

They aren't elite forces that can change the tide of war or could handle those huge Mech Frames guarding the spacesh.i.p.s.

Julian then noticed the communication device that was left to him… This is the device he can use to communicate with Avalon or perhaps the councils of the allied nations.

He took a deep breath before looking for Avalon…

"Avalon… Our country might be doomed once the Black Sovereign decided to slowly destroy the Mage Towers one by one… I already used my Soul Grip Artifact and it wasn't effective… Sigh~ Let the councils of the other nations know about our situation."

[ I understand. However, an elite force from Maja will arrive in 15 minutes. Try to survive until that time. ] 

"From Maja?" Julian wasn't too delighted with the reinforcements as that country is focusing most of its forces on the creation of automatons… 

'Well, perhaps sending a thousand combat automatons might be effective.'

[ Yes, they are from Maja. They are a strong group of 500 Magicians with 3000 Automatons. Try to assist them as much as you can. ] 

"That many? Alright…"

[ … ] 

"Do you have anything else to say?" Julian asked after noticing that Avalon isn't planning to end the conversation yet.

[ Your Soul Grip may not be effective against the Khrusam Race, or the golden-skinned aliens, that you've fought with. They have the power that manipulates the Death Energy so it might be a good counter to your Soul Grip. ] 

"Is that true?" Julian suddenly stood up after hearing this from Avalon… 

He's together with six other sages hiding not too far from the landing site of the aliens… The six know that Julian is already on the verge of giving up but they realized that the old man seemed to have regained his spirit…

Finally, after Julian ended his talk with Avalon, he calmed his excited expression as he gazed at the Khrusams like they are treasures.
