Chapter 680 Change
What kind of power could connect Pangea and Gehenna just like that?
No one trapped in the desolate world with the crimson sky needed to answer such a question, for there was only one answer they could give â the power of a Great Devil.
After all, the Great Devils were existences with unfathomable might and capabilities. Gehenna was also a place where anything seemed possible through magic.
Emperor Varan and his guards believed if Galen truly connected Pangea and Gehenna, it could only have been done with the power of a Great Devilâat least, according to their limited and shallow understanding.
Furthermore, there was only one known way for a human to wield the power of a Great Devil â through a contract.
Emperor Varan started to suspect Galen Delarosa was a first-generation Devil's Contractor. It was the only possible reason he could think of as to why the latter could live for so long.
But while the identity of a Devil's Contractor could explain Galen's long lifespan, he still couldn't shrug off a feeling of doubt.
Could the power of a Great Devil truly connect Pangea and Gehenna so easily? If it was as simple as he was assuming, why haven't the Great Devils used it to conquer other parts of Pangea?
Since the contradiction existed, the reasoning must be flawed.
Emperor Varan wracked his brain for other possibilities that might have existed, piecing together the limited information he had one by one.
'The wounds are real, but the place may not be... Perhaps such a place truly exists in Gehenna. However, this shouldn't be it...' Emperor Varan pondered as he effortlessly slayed hundreds of undead.
Suddenly, he made an upward sword slash, shooting off his sword wave into the sky on a whim.
However, contrary to the sword wave growing distant into the vast sky, it abruptly disappeared after a short thirty-meter flight, like as if it had passed through some invisible barrier.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.comperor Varan narrowed his eyes at the sight.
In that instant, he was enlightened.
The seemingly boundless, desolate world with the crimson sky truly wasn't a place in Gehenna.
But while they weren't in Gehenna, they were still trapped inside an independent space â one that Galen Delarosa created and could spawn endless undead to attack them.
The undead themselves weren't strong. In fact, they were pitifully weak. However, their great numbers could still generate a sense of great threat.
"I understand now. We are trapped inside some kind of magical domain Galen created. Everything you see is just something he conjured with his imagination for us to see," Emperor Varan explained.
Bang!
Although the imperial commander blocked the magical spell with his sword, the impact flung him into a crowd of imperial soldiers, crushing them underneath.
"Quickly press the attack and take him down! Do not give him a chance to catch his breath! Emperor Varan will be released soon!" Matriarch Laelana roared.
The High Elders heeded her command and quickly activated their strongest totem powers. In the next instant, numerous powerful spells flew in the imperial commander's direction before he could recover.
"Commander!"
Many imperial guards quickly cried in alarm, noticing the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
At the same time, the imperial commander knew he was a goner when he looked up; he didn't have enough time to dodge all the incoming spells.
Boom!
Numerous Rank 5 magical spells barraged the imperial commander's location mercilessly.
Such small-scale yet concentrated destructive power was beyond lethal, leaving nothing left of the imperial commander and nearby soldiers and guards if it had made contact.
However, no one mourned for any lossesâfor they were all stunned and surprised.
At the very last moment, a barrier of blue light suddenly appeared, shielding the imperial commander, guards, and soldiers in the area. Not only did the blue barrier save them, but it also soundlessly absorbed every incoming attack.
It was as if the various magical spells had slipped through a crack in space and disappeared into the infinite void.
"Who?!" Matriarch Laelana roared into the sky with a nasty, grave look.
It was the perfect opportunity to eliminate a Transcendent-
rank warrior, and yet they still missed it because of a third-
party intervention.
More importantly, whoever intervened was unbelievably skilled in magic.
Matriarch Laelana was greatly alarmed by that fact.
