Amidst the ruins of countless buildings, a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a pristine white robe stepped onto the highest and largest block of rock in front of her. Hundreds of eyes around her were staring at her as she approached the demi-human woman standing before her.
"Diora, stop playing around and finish the work here so I can leave. I inford the third shadow general, but he won't be coming. He said if only you and Hay can turn this place into a living hell, there's no need for him to waste his ti. Regardless, he will send soone to check once we have completely conquered the planet."
Diora's ears twitched a little, and she glanced at the human standing beside her.
"Tsk, why do you always wear white clothes? They don't suit you at all. And I am not wasting ti; I am letting everyone have so fun. After all, it's not every day we find such a beautiful planet that is untouched by any evil."
She turned around and pushed the woman in front of her back with three fingers.
"Also, stay away from my business. I already hate the fact that the third general sent you and Ateo here, even though I said I can handle it."
Misha let out a smirk and grabbed the three fingers touching her chest tightly, enough to leave marks. The black three-petal flower engraved beneath her chin glowed with her grey eyes.
"Don't provoke , dear. You know I hate it when I'm challenged."
Hay, who had been watching the interaction between the two won from a distance, quickly arrived beside them and pulled Diora away from the beautiful woman who looked so pristine. However, he knew Misha was the cruelest among them all.
The last he heard, she killed over a thousand humans just to enhance her beauty. So, he knew it would be better if Diora didn't fight against her. Especially since the latter can control an entire army of monsters.
"Oh... did they form a barrier around themselves? But how? No, no, the question is, where did they get so many resources to form such a strong barrier around themselves..."
Hay furrowed his brows beside her.
Three males, two elves, and one from the lizard race were floating above the trio. They were the divine-rank individuals who arrived on this planet after Diora and Hay. The trio was silently enjoying the two won's bickering and keeping an eye on the countless people gathering around them after Diora announced they would destroy the last hope of this planet.
Just then, Diora snapped her eyes toward a faraway place. Not just Diora, everyone who could sense the mana in the air turned around to stare at the distance.
Diora pulled her hand away from Hay's grip and widened her eyes with a smirk.
"Oh... did they form a barrier around themselves? But how? No, no, the question is, where did they get so many resources to form such a strong barrier around themselves..."
Hay furrowed his brows beside her.
"I don't think you should be happy to see it. The barrier is strong-!"
But he stopped when both Diora and Misha started laughing as if he had said the biggest joke of his life. Misha patted his shoulder with a sweet yet evil smile.
"Strong? No, it's not. One of the divine-rank individuals among us is enough to break that little barrier without much trouble."
Diora agreed with her for the first ti. She had seen how weak the people of this planet were. Last ti, she only retreated because of Alec. If the general hadn't arrived so suddenly and ford a contract with that human, she would have already destroyed the remaining forces of this planet.
Diora jumped in the air to gaze at the countless people gathering around her.
"Hmm, should we gather more people, or are these enough?"
She gazed at Misha with a taunting look.
"Or maybe you can just control an army of monsters so we can finish this as soon as possible, just as you suggested."
Misha wanted to scoff at her words but paused when she heard a cracking sound in her mind space. It was like sothing just shattered into countless fragnts.
"Huh..?"
Her eyes widened when she realized what had broken. It was a small finger-sized black crystal, the sa crystal that was connected to Ateo's lifespan. She quickly took out the broken pieces from her mind space and stared at them in shock.
"No way..."
Diora turned around when she did not get the curt response she was expecting from the woman. Her eyes narrowed at the broken fragnts in Misha's hands. The demi-human quickly zood in front of the stunned human.
"Hey, Misha, don't tell it is what I am thinking it is...?"
Diora stared at her and let out a chuckle because she recognized the broken fragnts. All the individuals with divine-rank strength and above under the shadow generals had to perform a ritual and connect their life energy to the dark tablet present inside the demon's planet. In return, they were all given black crystals.
This way, if any of them died, their crystal would shatter, and their nas on the tablet would turn white to indicate their death to the one guarding the tablet.
The reason everyone had to go through the process is because the people above the pseudo-divine rank were important. After all, their full strength could potentially wipe out a big part of a planet.
But the question was, who died?
Diora has her life crystal. Hay and the other three divine-rank individuals are also alive and doing perfectly fine around her. So, who...
"Wait... one person is missing right now?"
Misha closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were filled with anger.
"That bastard! How the hell did he die?"
She let out a loud cry and threw the fragnts on the ground. Diora tilted her head, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
"So, Ateo died? But how? He's strong, there's no way he would just die out of nowhere."
Diora snapped her head towards the divine rank individuals around her.
"Where the hell did he go? Did any of you see him?"
The divine rank individual with the lizard-like appearance instantly answered with a grim expression.
"He captured soone lurking around us and then headed towards that place."
The man pointed his finger toward Coexis, and Diora let out a loud laugh that made the air around her tremble.
"So, you're telling those little ants killed a divine rank individual in such a short ti and without making any noise?"
She looked around, and the corners of her lips curled upward when no one answered. Diora started floating and raised her voice.
"Get ready, all of you. We're going to attack now. I don't care about the others who haven't arrived yet. I want to see just how the heck those ants killed a divine-rank individual, hahaha."
