The hollow blood-red eyes of the mysterious entity road over the Grey Elder and Yonir, mocking, "As for who I am, you don't need to know because you are about to beco my 'nourishnt,' hehehe!"
"So, during that eting, you had already replaced Gannon the Ninth? No wonder there were so many foolish and unrealistic ideas proposed at that ti."
Yonir's old face was full of gloom as he responded, "Don't think your trickery has succeeded. Our Alchemist Guild will never sit idly by and let you threaten the Human World any further!"
"That's right, the rcenary Guild will fight to the bitter end with you as well!"
On Grey Elder's wrinkle-covered face, a trace of murderous intent erged, he agreed, "Don't underestimate the Human World as being too fragile!"
Watching the two top powerhouses of the Human Clan speed towards him, the mysterious entity laughed wildly and sinisterly said, "Had you noticed the clues a hundred years ago and investigated thoroughly, perhaps I might have feared you a little."
"But now, everything is under my control. What can you do?"
"If it weren't for those despicable otherworldly scum interfering, you might still be kept in the dark, right? Truly a bunch of extrely foolish people."
Upon hearing the jeers of the mysterious entity, Grey Elder and Yonir were montarily speechless, having no choice but to clench their fists.
Just as the other said, at that eting a hundred years ago, although they found Gannon the Ninth a bit strange, that was all.
After all, the Temple of Light was too powerful, with talents erging frequently and strong people gathering like clouds, also receiving respect from various kingdoms' Royal Families. Who would have thought that the Master of the Temple above all this would be silently replaced? It's simply incredible.
Moreover, the three major neutral organizations within the Human Clan had always been in a state of mutual checks and balances, with none being truly honest with each other. This also notably reduced suspicion towards the Temple of Light.
While Grey Elder and Yonir were silenced, Leo Ray's calm voice suddenly rang out, "Stop indulging in self-talk. You're nothing but a repeatedly defeated general. Could it be you're bluffing because we're about to destroy your lair?"
"Despicable otherworlder, I thought you'd be too scared to act recklessly. Yet, you're still as stubborn as ever."
The mysterious entity stared intently at Leo Ray, blood-red eyes filled with killing intent, "Before, I was only focused on the 'Divine Plan,' unwilling to cause further complications, which is why you've been allowed to be so wanton until now."
"Moreover, the more you stir the waters of the Human World, the more attention you attract. It only makes it easier for to complete the final moves. You don't think you've truly defeated , do you?"
The mysterious entity's tone grew more contemptuous, dismissing, "In the end, you're just a re pawn on my chessboard. Who gave you the confidence to dare challenge the master pulling all the strings?"
"My confidence cos from every powerful person beside , the soldiers fighting bravely for the Human World, and those quietly contributing to the Human World. The strength they give is imasurable, beyond your understanding. As long as hope remains, the Human World won't perish."
As Leo Ray sped through the dark red giant city, his voice remained calm, "As for whether you're the master you claim to be, let's see through action then. History will prove everything, and you will eventually beco dust swallowed by ti, a laughingstock in people's tales."
Hearing Leo Ray's words, our side's powerhouses couldn't help but beco enthused, their expressions full of excitent as they ventured into the unknown peril.
"Foolish and small otherworlder, I admit your tongue is sharp, but unfortunately, only strength can dominate all things."
The mysterious entity laughed instead of becoming angry, jokingly watching Leo Ray, suddenly saying, "Isn't it ti yet?"
Upon hearing this, including Leo Ray, the powerhouses evidently did not understand the aning behind the words, furrowed their brows.
While Leo Ray was pondering the implied anings in the words, an urgent mind talk suddenly rang out.
Upon connecting, the flustered voice of Ariel Watson imdiately ca through: "Reporting to Lord, just now, a terrible stench wafted out from the light-sealed sub-temple in the Royal Capital, followed by countless dark red fluids like roots spraying out, spreading throughout the entire capital in the blink of an eye, even extending towards outside the city, even spreading over Lion Castle!"
"I understand. Evacuate all the residents of the Royal Capital imdiately, let them escape to safety first!"
Leo Ray's voice carried a hint of urgency as he replied, "Leave the rest to ."
With this said, just as Leo Ray finished communicating with Ariel Watson, more ssages continued to pour in rapidly.
According to the ergency ssages from subordinates stationed everywhere, including those from leaders like Quinn Serena, not only the Royal Capital and various places in the Coldfla Kingdom have dark red roots appeared, they are spreading rapidly.
Even in other regions of the Grimm Kingdom where everyone currently resides, Saint Night Kingdom, Pars Empire, and all seven countries of the Human Clan, even territories located in the Demonic Shadow Forest, as well as remote places such as various Fortresses and the Crystal Kingdom were not spared, all falling within the coverage range of the dark red roots.
This encompassed not only all the human cities but also sparsely populated areas like the wild, rivers, mountains, underground cities, and ancient relics. Sightings reports have co from all over.
In other words, the entire Human World is now rapidly covered by these foul-slling and bloodthirsty terrifying substances, fundantally leaving no place to escape.
This is precisely what Leo Ray feared the most.
"It turns out exactly as I just speculated; has the entire Human World succumbed to being the target for that mysterious entity's extraction?"
Cold sweat oozed from Leo Ray's forehead as he clenched his fist.
Just then, even worse news arrived once more.
According to reports from Burt and the other generals fighting on the city wall, those sprawling roots had also spread all over the city walls and even actively began entwining the wounded, making it impossible to
Gazing at Leo Ray's solemn face, although our side's other powerhouses hadn't received the news, a deep sense of heaviness and concern arose in their hearts.
This clearly indicated that our situation had beco increasingly passive.
"Hehehe, despicable otherworlder, it seems you have already received the relevant reports."
The gigantic silhouette of the mysterious entity continued to block out the sky, laughing wildly and recklessly: "The extraction of Radiant City is about to begin, none of you can leave. When Radiant City has been extracted to a certain extent, it will be the turn of the entire Human World."
"Very unfortunate, we will defeat you and destroy the root of your dark plan before that."
Leo Ray forcibly steadied his mind, his voice calm as he said, "Just like I've thwarted your subordinates' actions countless tis before."
With that, the group of them had already appeared at the end of the road, near the towering Inner City Wall of Radiant City.
Looking at the ever-nearing white wall, our powerhouses' faces were full of urgency and excitent.
Once they crossed this barrier, they would be just within reach of the opponent's lair.
"Foolish wretches, you don't actually believe you can reach before I extract nourishnt, do you?"
The mysterious entity's laughter was filled with mockery, blatantly saying, "Sadly, you won't even be able to surpass this city wall!"
As the mysterious entity's voice fell, Leo Ray took notice.
On the opponent's Inner City Wall, it was densely packed with soldiers. These soldiers didn't appear to be corporeal; they were shrouded in black mist, exactly like what was seen beneath the Sunset Fortress, even Tier 5 powerhouses were helpless against them!
Additionally, the wall sotis glead with vibrant light, clearly covered by an extrely strong Absolute Defense Barrier, appearing indestructible.
Witnessing this, as Leo Ray deliberated on the next steps for breaking through the wall.
Around the team and on the street behind them, countless clawing Black Fog Soldiers surged forth, completely surrounding our side in the center.
