Chapter 189: Abyssals Plan
Chapter 189: Abyssals' Plan
In the sky, a battle was going on.
"Bastards! Starting a full scale war, are you nuts?" A Level 5 Human Fire Awakener growled as she conjured a fire lotus and blasted it at her opponent.
"We just want to watch you wail, Insects!" The Level 5 Abyssal spat and waved his hand.
His mental force turned into an invisible palm and collided with the fire lotus. After they contended for a moment, they both broke down leaving behind a massive shock wave.
"Kuh. I'll cut your head in this battle, Bahman!" The Fire Awakener clutched her fractured arm and glared at the Abyssal in hatred.
She covered herself with fire mana and clenched her fist.
"Give up Aguya, I've almost about to reach Mid Level 5." The Abyssal called Bahman grinned cruelly and propelled the mental power in his body.
Boom!
The air was compressed beyond limit and blasted as they shot at each other at speeds approaching the sonic limit.
The soldiers from both Human and Abyssal side were attracted by the commotion.
It was a pity they couldn't even turn their head unless they wanted to give their enemy a chance to kill them easily.
Thankfully, their hearing was good enough to give them a good idea of the fight in the sky.
Excluding the base commanders, the highest combat power was Level 5. Thus, on this battle field, this match was one of the crucial ones.
Boom!
Kacha!
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, Aguya was sent flying as she crashed into a hill, with her fire melting the hill as a consequence.
"Colonel Aguya!"
"Hold on!"
"Support will arrive!"
Seeing her predicament, the soldiers on the field couldn't help but shout. Aguya was one of the promising officers.
Level 5 only at 25 years, perhaps in another 10 years, she could reach Level 6.
So she must not die here. But—
"Worms. We'll take over Rena today." Bahman hummed and a huge pressure descended on the human awakeners below him.
Plop.
Spurt.
Plop.
Their heads burst open regardless of them being a Level 3 or Level 4 as they died.
A red light flashed and Aguya appeared in the air. Her body was covered by fire mana.
Unlike earlier, her face was incredibly pale and blood gushed out of the multiple wounds on her body.
However, Aguya only gulped down a healing potion, knowing well that it would take time to operate.
She suppressed the weakness in her body and conjured a fire arrow. With an indomitable will, she said. "Even if I die, I'll bring you down with me."
"Tsk. Humans never learn." Bahman didn't pull any punches and attacked with all his strength.
…
"This is ridiculous!" Varian cursed after finding out the situation on the border.
The strongest hadn't shown up yet. Maybe they already started fighting somewhere far.
After all, even if they fought in the air, just the aftermath of the attacks could wipe out Level 3s.
"Staying here is the worst option." Varian glanced at Sarah handling the Level 6.
There was something fishy.
There were only a couple of Level 6s on this planet. They were basically the commanders of the bases.
How could they cross a border and target Sarah?
It didn't add up.
Varian looked at the rising clouds in the distance. Even though Sarah couldn't defeat him quickly, she had the edge.
"With her strength, I don't need to worry about her." Varian shook his head and said.
'Boo, give me a skin mask.'
Since he couldn't play an active role here, he was going somewhere he was needed.
…
"Guh! Cough. Cough." Aguya knelt on the ground on one knee as she coughed out blood.
Her arms were mangled and she didn't count the broken ribs.
Now, the mental power of Bahman surrounded her like an invisible hand. It was crushing her slowly as if she was a bug.
But she still raised her head with difficulty and looked into his eyes. "After Commander arrives, Y-You will pay!"
Bahman threw his head back and laughed. "I forgot to tell you, we got a few herbs and added three Level 6s.
Now they must have crossed the border and headed into your bases. Every soldier in the base will be slaughtered.
After killing you, I'll clean up this side of battlefield.
Then I, along with my soldiers will watch your base commanders die one by one as they are outnumbered by the Abyss Dukes."
Bahman's voice was loud and clear.
Every human awakener in the field heard it clearly. For a moment, their hearts stopped.
Because serving on the same planetoid, they more or less knew Bahman. A promising Abyssal—enemy with a serious potential.
He was arrogant and proved everything by force. So there must be no reason to him lying.
What's more…
"So that's why this sudden war?" Even though she phrased it was a question, Aguya's tone was confirmative.
Even though she was kneeling powerlessly in front of an enemy, her demeanor was still proud.
"Now, now, let's send-Ahhhh!" Bahman stepped back instantly, but even then it was too late a condensed fire beam hit his arm.
He roared in pain as half of his left arm was scorched.
Forcibly numbing his brain, he looked down and saw the regretful smile on Aguya's face.
"I missed the head."
"Y-You Crazy Bitch! I thought of killing you directly and saving you some dignity. But now I'll strip your clothes and chop you to pieces. You will be food to stray dogs." Bahman roared with rage.
"Colonel Kaguya!"
"Base Commander is not responding!"
"Are we doomed?"
One by one, despair began to sink in the human awakeners. Despite this being a full scale war, they hadn't heard a single announcement from the base commander.
Bahman looked at his enemy's dropping morale and sneered. He stepped forward and kicked Aguya in the abdomen.
Crack!
Like a broken kite, Aguya with little defense layed on the ground as she twitched from the pain.
The ribs pierced her heart. Even if she was a Level 5 awakener, she was going to die soon.
Bahman grabbed Aguya's neck and lifted her like a ragdoll. He flew into the air and said.
"Listen humans, the strongest genius in this base is helpless in my hands. She'll die a painful death. If you don't want the same pain, kill yourself. If not, hehe.
Let's start with stripping this bitch." Bahman grabbed her shirt and was about to pull it open when—
Kacha!
He felt an enormous force hitting him in the abdomen and before he knew it, he crashed into the ground at a ridiculous speed.
Boom!
Crack!
Dust rose and clouded the vision.
Laying on the ground, Bahman gritted his teeth and endured the pain of broken pains. He used the mental force to warp himself and lifted himself up into the air.
With a swipe, the dust vanished and he saw a man looking at him with cold eyes.
"I have nothing to do. But guess what," The human smiled at him.
Without knowing why, Bahman flinched and took a step back.
The human didn't care and fed the dying Kaguya an expensive healing potion.
Bahman was enraged and glared at the man. But the next moment, the man vanished and appeared in front of him. He raised his fist and shot at Bahman.
"When I saw you, I wanted to punch your face."
Varian's fist connected with his face.
