Chapter 1117 Void Territory (Part 4)
"I don't know what kind of ability he used, but he pulled that entire area inside the void space, separating it from the Azragoth World. If we go in there and die, we won't be able to revive using the World Blessing because that area is no longer part of Azragoth World."
When Utharic heard Nythor's words, his bull-like face contorted with anger and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
He stared at the black-purple bubble, which was filled with thousands of small twinkling stars and took a deep breath.
"He is just a Rank Two Core Evolver. A skill that can separate such a large area from the original world and pull it inside the void must be very energy-consuming. I refuse to believe that he can maintain it for a long time," The bull-headed Eldritch Creature said in a cold voice and signalled the four airships that reached the outer area of the forest to begin their descent.
Nythor paid no attention to the soldiers who had started disembarking the airships. Instead, he asked another question to Utharic.
"What if he is planning to break through to Rank Three using this thing as a protective cover?"
"Impossible..." Utharic immediately shook his head. "You also know that it takes a few days for a person to successfully break through from Rank Two to Rank Three. If he wants to reach Rank Three, he will need to maintain this ability for a few days, which is simply imp—"
"That invader is not normal, Utharic..." Nythor interrupted Utharic midway and spoke in a serious voice. "Have you forgotten? He has already killed more than two hundred thousand Eldritch Creatures, including Xael'Tor and Drezzoth. Do you think he is foolish enough to create this thing just to waste his energy?"
Utharic frowned when he heard Nythor's serious voice but didn't refute him as he knew he was right.
"So, what do you think we should do?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"Isn't it obvious?" Nythor said in a cold voice, looking at the soldiers behind him who were disembarking the airships.
"Create a few small teams of soldiers who are good at hiding and gathering information and let them go in there. Although I don't know what that invader is planning to do, I also agree with you that he can't maintain this kind of ability for a long time. If he wants to hide from us, he will definitely try to kill the people who enter, but in order to do so, he will have to consume even more energy. As long as he runs out of energy and this area disappears or our people who enter find his location, it will become very easy for us to deal with him."
Utharic thought about Nythor's suggestion for a moment and nodded his head.
"All right, let's send Xyrosk along with some other soldiers. He is best when it comes to gathering information. Even if he encounters something dangerous inside, he should be able to escape and bring back some information."
"By the way, what about those black monsters? It will be difficult fo—"
"They don't need to fight against those black monsters. Their task is to find the location of that invader, not deal with those black monsters..." Nythor said before Utharic could finish speaking.
Utharic was silent after hearing Nythor and only spoke after a few seconds. "You really like to interrupt me midway, huh?"
Nythor shrugged his shoulders when he heard Utharic and walked towards the soldiers who were still disembarking the airships
Around ten minutes later, four teams of Eldritch Creatures, each containing ten people stood in front of Utharic and Nythor.
In front of the four teams stood a one-and-a-half-meter tall Eldritch Creature who was shrouded in black mist and looked as if he didn't have a physical body. The creature had the aura of a mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver, but this aura was very peculiar, seeming to merge with the world itself. Without looking at the Eldritch Creature with their own eyes, sensing his presence would be nearly impossible for people.
"Xyrosk, do you understand what you have to do?" Nythor asked in a cold voice.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will try my best to complete the task." The figure shrouded in black mist spoke in an emotionless voice.
"Good, go ahead and remember, if you encounter powerful black monsters, you don't need to fight them to death. Simply evade them and continue searching for that invader," Utharic said and tossed a glass bottle filled with black, blood-like liquid towards Xyrosk. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Xyrosk caught the glass bottle and put it away inside his storage ring. In the next second, his figure turned into black smoke and merged with the forty Eldritch Creatures who stood in four teams.
Once Xyrosk disappeared, the four teams did not waste any time and walked toward the black-purple bubble.
Coming in front of it, no one hesitated, and all forty of them entered without stopping.
All four teams entered the bubble from the same location, but once inside, each team found they couldn't sense the presence of the other teams anymore, which means all of them were sent to different locations after entering the energy bubble.
The area inside the bubble was surrounded by darkness, with no light in sight.
Sylthar, a Peak Rank Two Eldritch Creature and the leader of one of the four teams quickly noticed the separation of the teams, but despite the unsettling situation, he didn't panic and immediately ordered his nine teammates to stay in formation, ensuring they covered all their blind spots to avoid any surprise attacks.
"At least we can leave anytime we want..." Sylthar muttered to himself as he tested their ability to exit from the spot where they had entered, and after confirming they could indeed leave, he sighed in relief.
After confirming they could leave the energy bubble, the Eldritch Creature instructed his teammates to move forward cautiously.
As they advanced, Sylthar couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. As one of the top fighters, he was well aware that their mission was to deal with someone similar in power, another Peak Rank Two individual. Yet, this same person had created the energy bubble they were now inside.
'Just what kind of monster he is to create such an ability while still at the peak of Rank Two...' Sylthar wondered as he surveyed the pitch-black space surrounding them.
After moving inside the energy bubble for five minutes, Sylthar suddenly felt a strong sense of danger and immediately halted.
"Be careful..." He warned his teammates in a low voice, his gaze fixed ahead.
As Sylthar and his team looked forward, a few glowing red dots appeared in their vision.
But in just a few seconds, the number of glowing dots reached nearly one thousand, and they realized the red dots were actually glowing eyes.
"There are so man— Arghhh!" One of Sylthar's teammates, Rael, was stunned upon realizing that the hundreds of glowing red dots were eyes. But before he could fully express his shock, a knife was suddenly plunged into his throat.
Hearing Rael's scream, Sylthar was shocked and quickly turned around.
But upon turning around, he couldn't help but gasp in horror as he saw the one who had killed Rael was actually another of his own teammates.
