BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1039 The Living Bomb
Each race had its own world, depending on the power and numbers of the race the world had variation, so obviously the Pillars had the most powerful and largest worlds. This also meant that if there was a conflict between the Pillars, the destruction was truly massive.
However, the races almost never fought against each other in full, often some organizations or individuals, but not the entire race at once. Even the Angels and Demons had only a few wars in their entire history, which was a true record.
For a war to break out between the two races, very serious reasons were needed, so much so that massive destruction of each other was the only option.
Because of all these factors, the rulers of worlds or leaders of races might not be ready for a surprise attack unless there was a long lead time of years. That was exactly what the Constructs had done now.
They were the most technologically advanced race and could easily monitor hundreds of spaces at a time with their devices. However, they were also considered the most bureaucratic race, as they did everything based on rules and strictly on schedule.
Nevertheless, this did not stop them from invading Axalt World in the middle of Alucard and Liang\'s battle, immediately attacking one of the largest cities.
This immediately became a real tragedy, as it was impossible to defend against it. The ruler was in battle, and all the guardians were just as close to the temple. Constructs chose just the perfect moment.
"Damn... It\'s like they were eavesdropping on Alucard and Liang\'s conversation..." Marlis muttered, voicing her assumption.
Liang\'s eyes went wide as the world froze for a moment. He watched as a massive laser rained down on the tower at lightning speed, but as soon as he blinked Alucard disappeared. Just then Alucard was standing right in front of him, but now he was above the city.
Alucard used his hearing, which was many times superior to that of everyone else to realize what was happening first. He used the bloodstream to switch places with it, so now the laser had to go through it first before it could do any damage to the city.
"How mean..." Alucard muttered, looking at the oncoming laser, "Looks like you\'ve been watching Liang\'s every word for a long time, and as soon as he said something you didn\'t like you decided to attack, right?"
Alucard shook his head, "That\'s what friends are for, isn\'t it? I learned that a long time ago. However, some people don\'t deserve to have friends."
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.
Alucard waved his hand, creating a huge magic circle above him. It was a simple defense formation and although it was created by Alucard, such a magic circle couldn\'t withstand the full power of the laser.
In fact, Alucard didn\'t intend to protect the city with this magic circle, all he needed to do was to reduce the area of the laser to the limit so that its thickness was less than a meter.
"Good... Now let\'s see what you can do." Alucard muttered while looking at the center of the magic circle that shone brightly and trembled violently.
In the next second the full power of the laser passed through the magic circle, narrowing considerably, then it came down directly on Alucard\'s exposed chest.
Any creature would have been destroyed in an instant, but that wasn\'t a problem for Alucard. He just continued to absorb the explosive energy, fueling his body to the limit.
"What\'s he doing...?" Nakano muttered in disbelief, while the shockwaves from the lasers reached her, fluttering her hair.
"Isn\'t it obvious?" Gael pronounced in a strong voice, "He\'s saving your inhabitants. The Vampire Progenitor is doing what should have been your job. Aren\'t you the guardians of this world? Why didn\'t you notice you were under attack?"
After his words all the guardians lowered their heads in shame and embarrassment, and they realized that Gael\'s words were true. They were not to be distracted from their duties.
"But... Why...?" Liang was puzzled, "Why did they decide to attack right now? Constructs would rather declare war ten years before starting than do something like this! This is barbaric!"
Gael shook his head, "No. It\'s not barbaric, it\'s a well-chosen moment in an elaborate plan."
"What, you know something about it? Tell me!" Liang exclaimed, clenching his fists tightly.
Gael sighed, "No. However, I think it\'s pretty obvious. Constructs like you are on Arkan\'s side, at least they thought so. Then, they overheard your conversation with Alucard and realized that you are not their ally anyway. Whether you accept Alucard\'s offer or not, you\'d end up attacking the Arkans and going against the whole world."
Liang didn\'t answer anything, he didn\'t even suspect that someone could have been following him. If that was the case, Constructs must have been doing this for hundreds of years, stealthily and quietly, so much so that it was all created for the sake of a single moment.
"I don\'t know if it\'s a blessing or a curse, but you\'re lucky Alucard is the way he is. He\'s probably the only one who can protect the city in a situation like this." Gael said calmly, then he glanced up.
The laser was coming from a huge cannon that was at the bottom of the island. It was a massive structure that consumed a massive amount of resources. That meant the Constructs were ready for it.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Cracks went down Alucard\'s skin as a bright light burst out from beneath them as if the sun was inside his body.
His body was approaching its limit, his defense wasn\'t good, but he could absorb energy pretty well, however, everything had limits.
"Well, well, can\'t I do it? Hah, funny." Alucard smirked, then his eyes sparkled.
Whooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, his body was covered with bloody threads like a net. They kept his body from exploding prematurely, as the laser still retained some energy.
"Come on. We both realize you screwed up." Alucard grinned, looking up. All he saw was a bright light, but, soon it disappeared.
A huge cannon opened up, just like the bottom of the island. The end of the cannon was red, red-hot as it was overheated. Due to Alucard\'s interference, the attack was longer, but it didn\'t have any effect.
"Hahahahahahaha. This is going to be fun." Alucard smirked, glanced at Gael pointing at the city, then tore up.
Gael immediately sprang into action, he swung his sword, splitting it into thousands of ash particles that headed straight towards the city like a torrent of wind.
Then, the ash was next to the city, covering it with an impenetrable dome. The dome quickly grew thicker, providing better protection, but Gael was running out of time as Alucard had already reached the island.
Around the island was a powerful energy barrier that would be difficult for even a God Stage Creature to break through, however, for Alucard, it was not a problem. He just swung his claws filled with blood energy, creating a gap in the dense barrier.
"Here we go." Alucard smirked, removing the bloody threads that restrained his body, "This is something I\'ve never done before. That\'s what I like about life! There are still some interesting things going on! It\'s just limitless possibilities!"
As most of the bloody threads disappeared, the world was covered by a bright flash, then all the energy Alucard had absorbed from the laser burst out.
Alucard was a real live bomb, and anyone in his case would have to sacrifice his life to save the others. However, Alucard could do everything at once, it was not a problem for him to die to achieve his goals, because he could die as long as necessary.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The thick clouds that covered the entire Axalt World were instantly dispersed by the powerful shockwave coming from the explosion. The earth shook as if before the end of the world, and the wind currents were torn apart by the crushing power of the explosion.
The Constructs that were on the island did not want to die, so they used all their abilities to somehow strengthen the defense, but it was already too late. It was impossible to defeat an immortal kamikaze.
While Alucard was genuinely enjoying what was happening, the Constructs were terrified. This was the greatest failure for them and in fact, they didn\'t even realize that Alucard wasn\'t their main problem.
The energy of the explosion completely destroyed the island, splitting it into atoms, and then a small portion of it hit the city that was the closest target to the epicenter.
The barrier over the city activated but was immediately destroyed, then the ash barrier came next. It was created from Gael\'s sword, so its strength was almost limitless.
However, because it was still just ash particles spread out over hundreds of meters, the barrier was destroyed in some places, but the lower layers stopped the energy of the explosion.
"What was that...?" Someone from the town muttered in disbelief, looking at the slowly crumbling ash.
The barrier of ash disappeared, revealing a bright light from the clear blue sky with a single silhouette floating amongst it.
Only seconds ago Alucard had been dead, destroyed by the explosion, but now he was floating above the city without any problems.
Alucard sighed, then he glanced at Liang, "So... Looks like our plans are changing, don\'t you think?"
Liang bit his lip as if hearing him, while his eyes were filled with blood and rage.
