Chapter 1409 A Weird Island

"Hmm… So the fiends aren't here? Not interested," after flying around for a few minutes, I noticed these forces were formed out of Silences and locusts, with no friends.

Without friends I wasn't that much interested in dealing with these enemies. Even if they got startled by my presence, I simply led my chariot deeper, totally ignoring them.

Even if they'd bring me lots of dark realm bones, it was still pointless. I could simply clear them away using my cube, however I didn't try this out.

Such a method should be kept only for those who proved themselves immune to my threats. Or against a worthy opponent. Aside from these two conditions, it was better to keep my cube's abilities secret from the enemy sights.

The enemy was in the middle of gathering up his armies, but all I saw were the two useless races and nothing like fiends appeared for an entire day.

I kept flying around the cleared region first, then decided to move out and try to go deeper.

I thought that this situation would change after going deeper, but it didn't. For long hours, I kept flying with my chariot's top speed without seeing a single fiend.

And then things started to abruptly change.

"A flying island? That's new!" I saw something like a black dot at the far end of the horizon. Without the need to go there, I used my Hawk Eye skill and saw through that distance.

Twenty miles away from me, I spotted something flying in midair. The distance was already quite far for me to see anything clearly. But I could tell it was a flying fortress.

After flying for a few minutes towards it, I finally saw it using my skill. It was huge! A colossal piece of land that spread over the sky for close to a hundred miles!

It was the first time for me to see such a thing. But that wasn't the issue here. When I got close enough, I could finally see what lies inside.

The forts I saw before were filled with towers and offensive weapons. However this one didn't have any of that.

What it got was portals! I counted at least a thousand portals spreading all over this grand place.

Each portal was at least hundreds of metres in width and length, looking like giant black holes that would take away anything thrown at it.

I couldn't see anything else on that piece of land, which was something weirder. Such a grand floating island was left without any protection at all. It was really weird!

Were these portals useless? Or was there some sort of a trap in such an arrangement?

I got curious, especially when I noticed the direction this thing was flying towards was none other than my controlled region.

That meant the enemy intended to do something back there, and I got to know what such an island held of secrets.

I didn't know if such an island was a sole thing or if there were more of such things.

I acted upon the worst case scenario, and controlled my chariot towards this mysterious island.

"This…" The moment I got close enough, not more than one mile away, these portals flashed and started to show a reaction. It seemed like a beehive I stirred without intending to, and I stopped when that happened.

However the portals didn't show any reactions other than this. I kept my distance fixed at one mile, while slowly moving my chariot further away and closer.

"So they react to any enemy getting close? That's why there is no one defending this place?" I muttered while thinking about this.

Seeing this made me realise a formidable hit would come next towards me. I didn't hurry to get near these portals, and just threw tons of energy crystals into the heart of my chariot, increasing the defensive abilities of it.

"Let's see what you hold inside," once done, I moved my chariot forward, and waited to see what would come from these portals.

The moment I became five hundred metres away from this island, the portals started to madly flash and swirl, releasing scary pillars of light towards the sky.

Each pillar was in the thickness of each portal, and it flew high up for hundreds of metres before stopping. Seeing such a scene made me feel bad omen, as if I got eyed by a deadly and quite scary monster.

"Let's see what you'll do next," I abruptly stopped my chariot, took out my pillar, and used my shield skill.

The shield once clashed against some sort of hidden power. And the next instant, it looked like the world was going to end!

The sky dimmed, the air started to show fierce lashes of wind, and the world around me started to get filled with flying rocks, black rays of light, and explosive noises as if many bombs were exploding near my ear!

It happened all of sudden, and I watched my shield I just summoned show cracks on its surface from the pressure, unable to expand outwards no matter what!

It got stopped around the island, not able to take a single step forward.

"Tsk! So this island isn't an empty thing as I doubted… It can release such a deadly attack, enough to wipe out any forces of mine from miles away!"

I got how scary such an island was. And couldn't help but shake my head while activating my shield's offensive ability.

If the shield was going to crash like this, it meant it was under intense pressure and hellish amount of damage stockpiled in the past few seconds.

I instantly replenished the shield that was on the verge of breaking with another, and another, and another. I kept using my Thundering Might skill while releasing the accumulated damage once per half a minute.

The world kept in its berserk and crazy state while my shields' offensive skills kept trying to counter such insane pressure.
