Chapter 1301: th External Base Division of the Celestial Spirit Court |
1301 1112th External Base Division of the Celestial Spirit Court
This was a serious matter that needed to be approached cautiously. So, he understood that this was the Celestial Spirit Court's best approach to handling their current dilemma.
"While we wait for the envoy. I hope that you can all continue to provide your assistance to the best of your abilities as we go through these challenging times," Veyrahl said, focusing on Layrin.
"I will do my best to continue to provide my full support to the Celestial Spirit Court, regardless of the situation we face," Layrin said, standing up from his seat and bowing toward her before returning to his seat.
Thri'el nodded in agreement.
Veyrahl nodded. Suddenly, she turned her head to the side, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
Viscounts Layrin and Thri'el also sensed the disturbance in the air and snapped their heads in that direction. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.
The surrounding structures shook.
"How?" Veyrahl muttered, sensing several defensive barriers and their base falling apart. Instantly, she grabbed her helmet and vanished from her position, turning into a stream of light that pierced through the wall like a phantom. Viscounts Layrin and Thri'el swiftly vanished, also following after her.
It wasn't just them who had sensed it. Countless Baron-ranked and Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beasts around them had as well. Knight-ranked Spirit Beasts and those below remained on the ground, fearing to ascend into the sky.
"Wait... the barrier has collapsed?! Someone has broken it apart!"
"Sound the full-scale alert! We are under attack!"
"I thought this place was impenetrable! How did they find us?!"
"My communication stone isn't connecting!"
"No way… this shouldn't be possible!"
Their faces filled with the same expressions of fear and disbelief as they looked at the black sphere that now surrounded the entire island. They were unable to sense anything beyond it. However, just below the barrier stood numerous individuals, each exuding an imposing aura unlike any other.
As soon as they were spotted, within an instant, every single one of them transformed into their true Spirit Form.
The skies were now filled with countless formidable Spirit Beasts, ranging in size from 50 meters to more than 500 meters. Spiritual energy saturated the air, causing the surroundings to tremble.
"Why are only the Supreme Base Leader and Viscount Thri'el present? Where are the other Six Cores?"
"I don't sense the Grand Commander! Where is he?"
"Supreme Base Leader, we need your orders!"
Veyrahl had transformed into her true Spirit Form — a colossal six-winged lion with pink and midnight-black fur. Under her wings were six radiant light constructs resembling feathers, and her wingspan reached 560 meters.
Beside her was Viscount Layrin, who had transformed into a magnificent falcon with platinum and gold feathers and a wingspan of 400 meters. His eyes glowed with rotating concentric rings of light.
On the other side was Viscount Thri'el, a towering tortoise with an oceanic blue-black shell reinforced with bone-like plating. Two massive bone horns, each the size of a hill, jutted from his head. His body stretched over 510 meters in length.
Listening to the voices of the Spirit Beasts around her, Veyrahl turned and said, "You two should handle the base and prevent anyone from acting without orders. I will go and speak with the intruders to see who they are."
She refocused her gaze upward and immediately soared toward them.
Above, Orion and his wives, along with Zera, J'garin, Zymera, and the others, watched as the massive feathered-winged lion flew in their direction.
Veyrahl swiftly arrived before them and stared, noticing that they possessed unique auras that only emanated from beings of the Material Realm.
She frowned inwardly, immediately discerning that they were divine beings. She was unsure about their strength, but to effortlessly breach their defensive barrier in an instant without breaking a sweat meant that they weren't ordinary divines. "Who are you, and what have we done to warrant your intrusion into our territory?" Veyrahl asked, her tone solemn.
"Does this territory belong to the Celestial Spirit Court?" Orion asked.
Veyrahl frowned at the fact that her question had been ignored and that she had been posed one instead. After a brief hesitation, she nodded. "Yes. We are the 1112th External Base Division of the Celestial Spirit Court," she responded. "You still haven't answered my question. What are your identities, and why have you attacked our base?"
"We are travellers. We were just passing by and noticed the unjust suffering of the Spirit Beasts in this territory. After listening to their pleas, we decided to lend them our aid," Orion responded, absorbing the information he had just grasped.
They had already learned that this base wasn't the main base of the Celestial Spirit Court, which was one of the reasons they had dared to launch a direct confrontation.
Nonetheless, they remained cautious of the Celestial Spirit Court. If even one of its external bases possessed such a formidable force, then the strength of the headquarters could only be more formidable. So, they chose not to reveal their identities.
They were also still curious about the kind of force that could create such a formidable organization within the Spirit Realm.
'Travellers,' Veyrahl thought, frowning. She suspected they had emerged from one of the many Spiritual Link Points that had recently appeared within their territory. While they had witnessed the formation of several Spiritual Link Points before, they had never had this many appear at once, leaving them unsure of how to handle the situation, so they reported the matter to the headquarters.
"This territory has been claimed by the Celestial Spirit Court, which decides the fate of everyone living within it. As travellers from the Material Realm, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Realm," Veyrahl responded. "I admire your compassion and courage, so I advise you to leave this territory, and I will pretend none of this ever happened. If you don't, you will face the full retaliation of the Celestial Spirit Court," she warned.
Orion shook his head in response, causing Veyrahl to panic inwardly. Without hesitation, she launched a surprise attack. However, her Spiritual Energy was instantly neutralized, cancelling her assault. When she tried to move, she realized she couldn't. Her heart trembled. Doubt began to creep into her mind about the true strength of their enemy.
Below, sensing their Supreme Base Leader's predicament, Viscount Thri'el immediately roared, "ATTACK!"
As countless Spirit Beasts channelled their skills in preparation to strike, the Spiritual Energy in the air grew even denser, intensifying the pressure in the surroundings.
Viscounts Thri'el and Layrin immediately advanced toward the intruders.
Suddenly, a black sphere, resembling a miniature version of the one surrounding the island, materialized out of thin air around the Celestial Spirit Court's forces below. Only Veyrahl, Orion, and the others remained outside the barrier.
"I want two Viscount-ranked Spirit Beasts captured. Eliminate the rest," Orion commanded.
Maeve and the other pixie goddesses nodded and soared forward. They waved their hands, and several boxes flew from their palms, enlarging in midair before shooting down into the black sphere below, easily passing through it.
Veyrahl's eyes widened in shock and horror as she sensed everything and heard Orion's orders.
Above her was the black sphere, blocking perception from the outside world. Below her was another barrier isolating their floating island. It was as if they were the only ones who existed in this space.
"Please stop! We can discuss this diplomatically!" Veyrahl swiftly sent a telepathic thought. However, she soon realized she couldn't send another; it was as though she was facing interference like a brick wall blocking her out. Her mind quivered as she realized she had gravely underestimated the enemy's strength. Meanwhile, at the centre of the group, Gina clicked her tongue in annoyance as she saw the barrier emerge. With her gift, she could also create something like this. In fact, it was only after Derry had assimilated the essence of her gift with hers that she was able to create such a powerful barrier that completely cut off those inside from the outside world. If it weren't for the fact that her brother and mother didn't want her on the front lines, fearing her death even though she was just a clone, she would have been the one single-handedly handling the 1112th External Base Division of the Celestial Spirit Court.
Nonetheless, even though Derry could assimilate the essence of her gift, it wasn't as powerful as when Gina used it herself. So, she secretly hoped they would encounter a powerful opponent, one that would force her to step in and protect the entire group.
On the other side, as J'garin and Zymera observed the last box vanish into the black sphere holding back the Celestial Spirit Court forces below, they couldn't help but glance at each other and sigh. Though they weren't surprised, they remembered how this base had once given them a hard time forcing them into hiding. And yet, it had now been subdued with a single command.
