Chapter 936 The Demigod\'s Dread
Queen Eleanora, Captain Freya, and the others shifted their attention in the direction she indicated.
Deep within the ominous clouds, they could make out the silhouette of a humanoid being. His body was ablaze with lightning and thunder as he looked down at their Runaway City.
Instantly, they all realized that this being was responsible for the lightning and thunderstorms.
"We are under attack!" Lord Asher\'s voice rang out, filled with concern. His eyes darted between the figure in the sky and Mistress Isolde. He couldn\'t ascertain the individual\'s identity—whether it was someone sent by the Sleeping Fox Runaway City or one of the beings responsible for the Vylkr veil phenomenon.
However, for this figure to arrive at their Runaway City with such a grand entrance meant that he was either foolish or supremely confident in his abilities, and which of these options was correct wasn\'t something Lord Asher wanted to test with his life on the line.
Mistress Isolde, pale with fear, nodded and immediately brought out a thick metal square communication device. Her voice trembled with urgency as she screamed into it, "QUICKLY, ACTIVATE THE SHELL DEFENSE MODE! ACTIVATE THE SHELL DEFENSE MODE!" She hoped her message would swiftly reach.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past them out of nowhere.
"I\'LL DEAL WITH THE ATTACKER UNTIL THE CITY ENTERS DEFENSE MODE!" Commander Sy\'ra shouted, her voice trailing behind her as she ascended into the sky, seemingly stepping on the air.
No one noticed when she retrieved her Gearweaver, but the sight of the large mechanical club in her grasp made them exhale wearily as she rose into the air.
"BE CAREFUL, HE SEEMS STRONG!" Mistress Isolde shouted back.
Although she hoped that Commander Sy\'ra would capture the attacker so they could interrogate him and make him pay for forcing her to activate the City\'s defence system, given the immense amount of energy it consumed, she couldn\'t help but worry about her safety.
Hearing Mistress Isolde\'s loud voice behind her, Commander Sy\'ra nodded and instantly quickened her ascent.
As she rose higher, she skillfully dodged the violent streaks of lightning and thunder, her eyes fixed on the figure concealed within the clouds.
…......
A few minutes ago,
Within a guest room in the Queen\'s palace
Hearing the discussion between Queen Eleanora and the other Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City leaders, a look of surprise appeared on his otherwise stoic face.
A Vylkr alloy mine!
While a Vylkr alloy mine meant little to him, considering the lethality of Vylkr energy against gods and demigods like himself, it didn\'t render the discovery useless. However, his thoughts stopped as he realized the Vylkr alloy had appeared within the Vylkr veil phenomenon, the site of the battle between the Vylkr spawn and the divine being.
This indicated that the alloy had emerged within the territory of a divine being. So, obtaining it wouldn\'t be an easy feat!
\'Forget it,\' he thought. The aftermath of their battle had left him severely injured, and he had no desire to become an enemy of an unknown god.
His knowledge about them was limited, and risking a confrontation seemed unwise. Instead, he focused on finding a way to influence the leaders of the Runaway City to leave this territory quickly.
"Lord Teth, I\'ve never seen you so expressive. What\'s on your mind?" Princess Ballesha, Queen Eleanora\'s younger sister, asked with curiosity. She lay on the bed, naked and panting softly, studying the mysterious man before her.
Lord Teth quickly reverted to his stoic demeanour, shifting his attention to Princess Ballesha. "It\'s nothing for you to worry about. I was simply deep in thought," he replied, brushing her fiery red hair.
Princess Ballesha\'s expression twisted into an angry pout. She was just about to voice her frustration when a deafening crash of lightning shook the room, cutting off her words.
"What\'s happening?" Princess Ballesha\'s confusion was evident on her face. Her sister had assured her of clear weather after the Vylkr veil phenomenon, so the sudden turbulence in the sky puzzled her.
Lord Teth\'s attention snapped to the window, his gaze piercing the clouds. He locked eyes with a humanoid silhouette crackling with a mask and body seemingly forged from lightning.
The sight was baffling; he couldn\'t fathom a grade-one Runaway City could possess such a technique. However, as he attempted to gauge the energy emanating from this being, a surge of fear rushed through him.
Vylkr energy!
Just as Lord Teth was about to extend his senses toward the humanoid silhouette, they abruptly halted, thwarted by the dense Vylkr energy enveloping the being.
Aware of the limited entities capable of creating such a potent anomaly, Lord Teth narrowed it down to two possibilities. The first was the gods\' chosen, masters of harnessing the Vylkr energy through the devourer\'s bracelet—a crucial factor for any settlement surviving in this harsh world.
The second, and far more menacing, were the Vylkr spawns. These creatures matched the gods in power, devouring and assimilating them, and were responsible for the emergence of the \'godless age,\' an age without divine influence.
His thoughts raced, considering various scenarios and attempting to unveil the silhouette identity. Nonetheless, he concluded that a mere gods\' chosen couldn\'t obstruct his senses to such an extreme degree. There was only one conclusion he could draw at this very moment—
Vylkr spawn!
Instantly, Lord Teth realized that the Vylkr spawn hadn\'t perished in the hands of the divine being as he initially thought. Instead, they might have emerged victorious from the fierce battle.
However, the intensity of the Vylkr energy surrounding this particular Vylkr spawn differed from what he had encountered before.
This indicated the presence of multiple Vylkr spawns in the vicinity, all potentially aware of his current whereabouts.
