BXBX NOVEL Chapter 789: Ended
Chapter 789: Ended
Flashes of colorful lights bloomed within the sect.
Screams of pain, agony and despair along with war cries and roars of fury, everything was mixed up, making it difficult to tell which camp does what.
By now, the news of The Exiles invasion already conflagrated outside of the sect. Many people who happened to be in the vicinity discovered it and were now silently observing from a far. The news has spread far and wide, not even a day passed since the invasion occurred and pretty much the entire realm knew about the invasion.
In hindsight, it was a bit difficult to keep the news from spreading, after all the commotion was too great.
The way The Exiles forced the secluded sect to appear garnered a lot of attention. Just a reminder, they did use a formation, which needed several worlds as a base, to pry open the sect’s gates and reveal them to everyone.
Many people came but didn’t dare to intrude the sect’s grounds, they didn’t even dare to come close since they are aware that if they do that, the sect will become their enemies. Plus, none of them wanted to join this absurd clash…especially when it was plainly obvious that the Ancient Elysium Sect was winning this war.
No, they didn’t need to get close in order to come to that conclusion. Again, it was obvious. Those who were watching can tell what’s going on even from afar.
Despite the on-going chaos around the sect, they didn’t really suffer major casualties.
The disciples were doing great. Of course injuries can’t avoided but their numbers didn’t decrease at all. In addition to that, their formation was more effective compared to the invaders – which is of course to be expected since Raven is from their camp.
The Elders, the War Gods, the Heirs…even the current Title Holders were dazzling in this war. Those who were watching can’t help but to shudder from their sheer might. They could feel the palpitating aura they were releasing even at the distance they were in.
Their anger and killing intent was a grim reminder why nobody should mess with a slumbering giant. All this time that the Ancient Elysium Sect had been secluded, they didn’t weaken unlike what most people think, no. In fact, they became even stronger than before.
Every single one from the sect was a heaven-defying genius, this has always been the case even if the sect lowered their standards for recruiting disciples.
In addition to all of this, despite the chaos ensuing around the sect, they didn’t really suffer any large casualties amongst their ranks nor they suffered a great damage to their property.
Sure, the grounds were shattered here and there but that can’t be helped. As for their main buildings though, those were untouched.
Its not like their enemies weren’t trying to cause as much destruction as they could…they do, they truly wanted to…but they can’t.
Some hasn’t figured this out yet but in truth, all of the major buildings within the sect were fortified.
By who?
Is that even a question at this point? Of course, by Raven! Who else?
Believe it or not though, this is just a side effect.
These buildings were fortified because they are fed by a steady stream of energy. This energy comes from none other than their unlimited energy source – the Devil Emperor. This is why they won’t fall down.
Heck, even if these buildings did get damaged, they could repair themselves so long as there’s energy being supplied to them.
Suffice to say, invading the Ancient Elysium Sect was the worst choice that these people could do, yet they still did it. Which is why they deserved everything they are experiencing right now.
The war lasted for three days…
It would’ve lasted longer if it weren’t for the fact that The Exiles spent most of their energy dealing with the 33-layered Seal. In addition to this, they were trapped inside the sect too, this isn’t their home ground so they were suppressed. They’ve nowhere to retreat nor run to. They were stuck between a rock and hard place.
Still, there are some confusing things that the audience found out as they watched…
The first one was the fact that the sect seems to not have any intentions of wiping out the intruders. The audience lost count on how many times they’ve witnessed a scene where someone from the sect only needed to launch another attack to end the other party but in the end, they didn’t. They instead just suppressed them.
Tied them up and hauled them into a miniature prison…which was weird.
Another thing that confused the audience was…where was the leaders?
From the start of the battle up to now, none of them really saw where the leading figures of both camps went. They scoured the battlefield but none of them could be seen? Where did they go?
Some speculated that they’re probably fighting somewhere private. A lot of people agreed to this but not because they were convinced but because it was the most logical guess they could come up with.
Finally, what probably was the most confusing part of this whole scenario, is the fact that Representatives from the Dawn Council was openly attacking the Ancient Elysium Sect.
The audience discovered at least three or four people with familiar looking faces in here. They’re not wearing disguises and even if they were, all that would do is delay the discovery of their identities.
Raven could recognize who these people were. These were the most trusted confidants of the Allfather. Raven already discovered their identity way back then so he wasn’t truly surprised. But audience were though…
Why were they attacking the sect? Wasn’t the Dawn Council an ally of the Sect? What’s the meaning of this? Why would they declare war? For what purpose? For resources? Surely, not! This is Dawn Council, how can they run out of resources?
All of this questions made the audience really confused but there was nothing they could do to clarify things.
They do not know why this invasion occurred in first place so there’s really not much information for them to work with here.
Still though, it was plain obvious that the Ancient Elysium Sect won this war. It’s only a matter of time and cleaning up. After that, the commotion is done and the sect will probably close its doors once more.
Even then, the result of this battle has already propagated far and wide. Almost everyone was paying attention to it.
The controversy of the Dawn Council Members attacking the sect was also brought up. At this current moment, those who had established a really close ties with the Ancient Elysium Sect turned their gaze to the Dawn Council.
Some of these people were eon old monsters, hermits that had long since retreated from the secular world.
With this news however, they stepped out and began travelling towards the main headquarters of the Dawn Council.
They do not have any ill intentions, no. They just want some…answers. That’s all.
Some people stuck around, waiting until the Sect finishes cleaning up the rest. They were eager to witness the whole ordeal even if the ending was already decided.
In the sect, the last few stragglers were being hauled on the prison. The battle already ended. The Exiles lost…miserably too.
The leaders from the Ancient Elysium Sect’s side had began dishing out orders. They did not waste time and started with the repairs.
A small work considering that they just finished fighting a hot-blooded war. The injured were already being taken care off and those who doesn’t have any energy left to spare were resting. The sect was already stabilizing.
The war grounds rounded up their prisoners. They collected the miniature prisons from their squads and brought them altogether. They erected a formation at the center of Greece and let every prisoner out.
Suffice to say, everyone from the opposing side felt their hearts heavy. None of them entertained any thoughts of being spared. If anything, they knew that they will all be executed, be made as an example – a deterrence, for those who still entertained any thoughts about the Ancient Elysium Sect.
…well, that’s of course, the most logical guess they could come up with, why else would they be kept alive up to this point right?
Never would they imagine that someone has other plans for them.
That someone appeared in front of them. Gently stepping on air, carrying the temperament and appearance of an untouchable Immortal. He’s accompanied by the Sect Master, the Grand Elder and the Guardian Elder.
“Well, well, well…”
Raven spoke with a mildly amused tone, raising his brows ever so slightly as he stared at the prisoners gathered in front of him, suppressed by a massive formation.
“Naughty little chicks, eh?” Raven chuckled as he stared at them, “I wonder what should I do with you? Hmm…”
None of the prisoners like how Raven referred to them but they could only endure. After all, they were the defeated ones.
“I’ll give you options…” Raven said softly, but then his face became rigidly cold the next moment when he saw several faces.
“Ah, no. Not you guys.” Raven stated, pointing a the Dawn Council Representatives, pushing them up in the air with a faint gesture. “You guys are not important.”
“Die.”
Raven clenched his hand and the four representatives exploded into mere mists of blood, causing the audience to shiver and gasp loudly from his brutality.
