Chapter 833 Sanguik
The Human and Abyssal armies on a planetoid had long stopped fighting as they watched the terrifying battle in the sky.
Most could only see colorful explosions and feel the strong shockwaves before the rumbling of the attacks eventually reached them.
Only a few from both sides could see three blurred figures in the sky. They moved at speeds so high that they had trouble telling them apart from their afterimages.
"Sir, who is winning?" A Vice Captain from the Human army asked in a low voice.
The battalion of soldiers behind perked their ears as they waited for the Captain, a newly promoted low level 7 to answer.
The Captain looked at the sky with a serious gaze and remained still for a whole minute.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for his detailed analysis and hoped for positive news.
But.
"I…I can't see them anymore." The Captain said with an embarrassed face.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"They've already moved to outer space."
"Oh? They did?" As a veteran, the Vice Captain had a different perspective. "Sir, we need to resu."
"Ah? What?" The Captain was talented and young but lacked experience. So, he didn't understand right away.
But after noticing his imdiate subordinate's gaze, his eyes sharpened and he ordered. "Everyone, get into an offensive formation. We're going to beat these bastards down today!"
The war between the two armies resud.
anwhile, on the Outerspace, the battle had just ended.
As the rays of the suns fell on one half of his body, Varian stood with hands behind his back calmly.
His whole body was drenched in green blood with a few notable exceptions of red. Wherever these red blood spots were, his armor was also damaged.
"If you answer my questions, I might let you go." Addressing the two Abyssals in front of him, Varian said in a light tone.
Even though they were in space, the Abyssals in crimson were groveling on a bone-chillingly cold floor, which was naturally created by Varian. His telekinetic energy pressed them against the floor and with every passing mont, the two Abyssals shuddered.
They were both heavily injured and were bleeding profusely. Compared to what they had been through, this much was nothing.
But the scary part was the man in front of them. The two Abyssals raised their heads and looked at Varian with a fearful gaze.
Half in the sunlight and half in the dark, Varian seed more like a Zion than a human to them.
"Are there any trump cards for this operation? How do you plan to kill the Sovereigns?" Varian asked.
Alvira and Veritas gritted their teeth as a foreign psychic sense wreaked havoc in their minds.
But too bad, they grew up in the war zone and this much pain wasn't enough to faze them.
"You don't want to talk? Good. I like to make the stubborn ones talk." Varian said in a domineering tone.
Alvira and Veritas looked at each other.
With that one gaze, they confird that even if they were able to bear the torture, Varian might sohow force them to speak out the truth.
Even though they had plenty of experience with psychics, they weren't confident in facing level 9 Psychics.
In society, it's considered taboo for psychics to openly interrogate, but against enemies, it wouldn't even be an issue.
Still, there's no guarantee that those level 9 psychics could succeed. If it was so easy to just read minds and know all the mories, then Roxanne wouldn't have bothered torturing Sia in the first place.
'Looks like we're both going down at the sa ti.' The female Abyssals exchanged a ssage through their gaze and smiled.
The next mont, the aura in their bodies went haywire.
Varian was surprised at the sudden change and tried to stabilize them. But it was beyond his control and he was forced to witness the grand explosion of two Abyssals at distance a bit too close.
The dark space was painted red and green as the shockwaves traveled a thousand miles.
Everything settled down only after a few seconds.
'Too bad.' Varian sighed in regret.
He was strong enough to suppress them, but these Abyssals weren't weak enough for him to stop them from suicide.
To his frustration, there were no more Blood Heirs he knew. Four appeared so far. Three dead. One missing, likely dead.
"Haa~" Varian went back to intercepting the reinforcents.
As the flas of war reached new heights, Enigma and Varian got lost in the endless fights that followed.
The Human Army went from being pushed back to contesting with Abyssal Army as equals.
It looked like the stalemate would be the new status quo. But the Abyss rulers knew that if Enigma and Varian were left free, they'll soon break the stalemate and bring advantage to humans.
That's why…
"Is he ready?" Mirage Queen asked as she rubbed her pale cheeks.
After finishing off a battle with Bali, Mirage Queen retired to her spaceship and checked the situation of her Abyss.
"Almost." A young voice answered from the hologram.
The huge hologram inside the spaceship depicted a broken altar inside a broken castle.
The broken altar was surrounded by precious ores, herbs, and esoteric drawings.
An Abyssal in black armor was floating above the altar in a ditative position. With each passing second, a thread of dark energy erged from the altar and fused into his body.
Every ti it happened, the Abyssal spasd violently and his vitality began to plumt.
The esoteric drawings around the altar shone in ti as they consud the ores and herbs and supported the Abyssal's vitality.
The black energy surrounding the Abyssal grew stronger with each second.
Mirage Queen's eyes flashed with a complicated emotion as she parted her lips. "Sanguik, the four of them are dead."
Sanguik's eyebrows shook and his eyes snapped open.
Eyes that were darker than the night started straight into Mirage Queen's as they waited for further explanation.
Even though he only accepted a small, small part of the Death Force, Mirage Queen felt an invisible pressure from this young Abyssal.
Calming herself, she explained the death of Alec, Alvira, and Veritas along with the disappearance of Vlad.
Sanguik's eyes grew gloomy and the vitality-rich herbs on the floor began to wilt away. But he quickly controlled himself and said. "The Emperor was right. This monster must be removed at any cost."
Mirage Queen nodded in agreent but looking at the young Abyssal who was her grandson's age, she felt a wave of sadness. "I'm sorry, to kill a human, we have to ask the brightest genius of Blood Province to sacrifice himself…"
"Sorry for what? This is my duty." Sanguik smiled brightly.
With the induction of the Death Force, his death was only a matter of ti. His vitality was being eaten away and the only reason he was still alive was due to the special ritual done using precious holy altar items to suppress the death force.
"Your na will be etched in history as a fighter who sacrificed his future for ours." Mirage Queen said in a heartfelt tone.
Sanguik smiled lightly and closed his eyes.
He didn't care if he was famous after his death or not.
When the Abyss Emperor asked him if he was willing to kill Varian, he agreed. The original plan was to let the Blood Heirs round up and kill Varian. Even if they failed, they could escape and survive.
In fact, the Emperor was confident that Sanguik was strong enough to kill Varian by himself.
But Sanguik proposed a more radical but foolproof plan.
He would absorb a tiny wisp of Death Force. He'd still fight Varian with his own power. But in case he failed to defeat Varian with his own power, he'd use the Death Force.
The Emperor initially opposed this. Because once Sanguik took in Death Force, no one could stop him from dying.
But the brightest genius of Blood Province, the land recently occupied by the Fairies, insisted.
'Your Majesty, we're using the precious Holy Altars to reach the Solar System. But after one interstellar teleportation, we have to wait for a few more months to use them again.
If Varian isn't killed, he'll quickly reach the Celestial Rank.
I believe we will win this war and conquer the solar system with your brilliant plan, with an enemy like him, our victory wouldn't last.'
The Emperor finally relented to this suicidal plan.
After Blood Province was invaded and conquered by the Fairies, he too realized that the Solar System must be conquered as soon as possible.
"Varian," Sanguik's eyes flashed with thick killing intent. "Let's both go to hell."
