Angele slowly stood up and opened his eyes after a while. "The coordinates are ready; the only thing needed is the realm power of the Nightmare Realm. It's not a problem."
Vapor nodded and responded, "I'm counting on you."
"Sure."
Angele smiled.
*BOOM*
His body suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of black smoke.
The smoke ball expanded and its diameter reached several thousand meters minutes later. Vapor had to fly away from the altar and look at the smoke ball from the sky.
*BAM*
A large black claw reached out of the smoke and pressed on the red snow, destroying a small dark forest, leaving a hundred meters long print on the ground.
*BAM*
The second, the third, and the fourth claws appeared.
The earth cracked and started shaking. The wind was getting stronger and strong. The endless black smoke moved to the claws; it felt like dark clouds were falling from the sky. Several seconds later, a dark vortex that was created by the clouds appeared on the ground, its diameter was over ten thousand meters.
In the center of the vortex, a strong scorpion that was several thousand meters long appeared. The scorpion had more than ten legs and there were translucent human faces around its shell. The faces were crying, laughing, whispering or sneering; they were created by pure negative emotions.
The scorpion stood in front of the main altar and looked at it. The altar looked like a rat when compared to the scorpion.
*CHI*
Red glow was released by the scorpion, looking like boiling lava. The trees started burning and the land dried. The air twisted and the temperature was increasing quickly. Some of the stones on the ground started melting.
Several seconds later, half of Rayton Highland was surrounded by the red glow.
The scorpion used a pair of its legs to hit the remainder of the main altar.
*BOOM*
Loud noise echoed in the sky and the black smoke around the scorpion almost disappeared.
Countless black cracks that looked like spider webs appeared in the area above the altar and were slowly expanding.
The purple flames in Vapor's eyes were dancing, it seemed like he was anxious. He stared at the cracks and slowly created a long amethyst sword in his right hand.
***************************
The Fairy Realm.
*Rumble*
The lightning was followed by thunder. The bright white light brightened up the altar in the center of a dark castle.
The altar was built with white stone and was large. There were white robes and black robes floating in the air. Some of the wizards were human beings and there were also wizards from other races, like tiger men, minotaurs, and bird men. There were more than one thousand wizards here.
Count Mystery and Bossier were floating together. They were the closest wizard to the altar and there was a large bat with a pair of silver wings around.
The sky was dark and the dark clouds were boiling like hot water. The area above the altar was twisting.
"It's coming!" Bossier shouted loudly as he raised his right hand.
"Get ready! Prepare the force barrier!"
Gentle white glows surrounded by the wizards that were around the altar.
More and more glowing white dots appeared. They looked like the stars in the sky and they were connecting with each other.
The area above the altar twisted again, the air in the area turned dark and some black smoke appeared.
*CHI*
Two legs with shell pierced through space and entered Fairy Realm. It looked like the legs were from an insect.
"Now!" At the same time, Bossier waved his hand and ordered.
*BAM*
The two legs were stopped by a translucent barrier and could no longer proceed.
All the wizards around the altar were releasing energy waves that were moving to the area above the altar. It felt like nothing could go through the barrier.
The barrier was being strengthened constantly.
"We've waited for so long and it finally started…" Bossier looked at the white robes on the other side. The leader of the white robes was a man with short green hair. "Prince Griffin, do you see that? That's the power of a sealed form from Nightmare Realm." He sent the words through energy particles.
The green-haired man's face was still covered in shock from a moment ago. Taking a deep breath, he said, "It seems like Duke Bossier was not overreacting when he was describing the situation—he made it sound like the situation was not that bad. It was good that we of the Elune Empire arrived ahead of time, otherwise, we'd have faced the consequences after the barrier had been destroyed."
Bossier nodded. "We have to gather all the elites here to fight against the sealed form. That's why we sent the letters to different countries. One of our Dukes fell and two of our department heads were seriously injured during the previous battle. The Suran Empire took a great loss. 90 percent of our elite legions were destroyed. The situation is getting worse every second and we had to invite you to the capital of the empire. The Fairy Empire might be completed eliminated if we don't work together. I think we can all agree after witnessing his power."
"I understand and I agree." Prince Griffin nodded. "I hope that the armies sent by the other three countries will arrive in time so that we can make sure that the sealed form can't break through the barrier."
Thousands of wizards all focused on the dark legs above the altar. The energy waves turned into a force field; the barrier created by the barrier was holding well against the legs.
"We need to stop him from opening the channel!" Bossier raised his right hand again. He looked at Mystery and the silver bat.
"I'm sorry but I'll have to give you orders."
"No worries, this is a critical period and it's not the time to talk about politics. Cough…" the old bat responded in a low voice, however, he started coughing before he could finish speaking.
"Duke Constantinople is on his way back. He needed to travel through four portals and it'll take him two days to arrive. We're on our own now," Mystery explained.
"What about the support from other countries?"
"They are working on it. Without Prince Griffin, that sealed form would've already broken through the barrier!" a female white robe interrupted. "Two of the strongest department heads were seriously injured and the other four department heads are not good at battling. Should we activate the energy pool?" The woman looked at Bossier. Bossier was the commander here, he had the right to make decisions.
"Not yet… That's our final resort." Bossier had a serious expression on the face. He watched the dark legs hitting the translucent barrier.
"Get ready! Ice Jellyfish!" He raised his right hand high in the air. "Release!" Bossier shouted.
A humongous translucent jellyfish rushed out of the clouds when his voice was still echoing in the sky. The jellyfish was a couple hundred meters long and its tentacles were moving to the two dark legs.
The two legs had the same size as the jellyfish's body.
The translucent tentacles pierced through the barrier and twisted around the legs.
*CHI*
The noise sounded like steam coming out of a pipe. White smoke rose from the legs as the tentacle contacted them. A sour and stinky smell permeated the air.
The legs retracted a bit, it felt like they were damaged by the tentacles. However, the tentacles enraged the owner of the legs and they hit the barrier hard.
*BAM*
The dimension barrier was pushed back; the gap was large enough for the body of the legs' owner to enter the realm.
The upper body of the monster entered Fairy Realm. It was an enormous scorpion that was surrounded by black smoke. There were strange human faces rotating around the scorpion's shell.
The scorpion's body was over 1000 meters long. The six legs that entered the realm with its body were attacking the barrier like crazy; the noise made by the impact was loud and deep.
When the scorpion entered the realm, a third of the thousand wizards that were supporting the barrier started falling but they were caught by other members.
The rest of the wizards' faces turned pale, they were all spitting blood. It seemed like they were damaged by the scorpion's mentality wave.
Bossier also took some damage, he spat out some dark blood and the chest area of his black robe was soaked in blood.
"Don't stop! Come on! Transport your energy to the barrier!" He was still shouting. "Bronze giant, join the battle, the jellyfish is failing!"
*BAM BAM*
As Bossier finished his words, loud footsteps appeared from the far side; it felt like there was something charging to this area.
The castle created a path on the right like it was alive for the humongous metal giant that was rushing into the area.
The giant's skin was covered with a metallic glow; it was built with pure bronze. The giant's skin turned red and its body's temperature was increasing as it moved closer.
The giant reached the scorpion, but it only had the height of the length of a scorpion leg. The giant feared nothing, it charged to the scorpion with both fists in the air. its body surrounded by intense golden flames.
*BAM*
The fists moved through the black smoke and hit the shell of the scorpion, leaving a deep hole in it. However, the shell of the scorpion recovered within seconds.
"This thing has such a strong body…"
The desperation filled up the wizards' eyes and Bossier's face turned pale. No one knew if it was due to the injury or the fear.
"Jellyfish!" the bronze giant shouted.
A shadow of a woman in a white dress appeared above the jellyfish and the woman nodded.
White smoke rose from the jellyfish and the upper body of the scorpion was surrounded by the smoke. The white smoke mixed in the black smoke and they slowly turned gray.
"Ah!"
The giant roared and opened its arms. It grabbed the scorpion's body and the tentacles of the jellyfish quickly twisted around the giant's body.
"Ficolin never fears death!" the giant shouted. "Die with me! The Song of Destruction!"
Bright silver light appeared on the giant's and the jellyfish's bodies. It felt like the light was coming from inside their bodies; a large red eyeball appeared in the sky above them.
The eyeball was covered with countless tentacles and blood veins. Also, the red pupil of the eye was looking at the scorpion who was being stopped by the giant and the jellyfish.
"Eye of Destruction… Damn it! Ficolin, it's fine if you want to sacrifice yourself, but don't take jellyfish with you!" Bossier's eyes turned red. He noticed that the woman on top of the jellyfish was also surrounded in silver light and felt like blood was rushing into his brain. "No! Sister!"
"Prepare the energy pool!" Mystery suddenly shouted.
"No!" Bossier grabbed Mystery's collar. "That's my sister! My sister! Do you know what you're doing?! He's trying to take my sister with him! You promised me! Come on!" He started shaking Mystery's body like crazy.
"This our best chance! Our guardian monsters sacrificed themselves for this!" Mystery responded in a calm tone.
"I have to catch this chance!"
*WOO*
The noise made by a horn echoed in the sky.
The land under the altar started shaking. The white ground slowly turned blue and translucent.
"The empire spent thousands of years to save that power and this is the moment we use it!" Mystery pushed Bossier away from him.
Some strange noise came from the land, it sounded like something was coming from under the ground.
The wizards in the sky lowered their heads and saw the scene that they would never forget.
The castle, the buildings around the castle, the towers, the parliament, everything started shaking. A lot of green plants started rising from the bottom of those buildings.
It felt like the capital was turning into a garden country. Young roots and vines came out of the ground and tall trees were growing at full speed. The plants cracked the land.
It only took couple of seconds for the city to turn into an abandoned ruin. It felt like that the ruin had been sitting in a forest for hundreds of years.
The giant and the jellyfish's bodies turned into silver liquid, which completely coated the scorpion's body.
The stare of Eye of Destruction stopped the scorpion from moving so the scorpion could not remove the silver liquid from its body.
The sound made by the horn was getting louder and louder.
The blue color on the ground was also getting more and more intense.
A ray of blue light spurted out of the ground and pierced through the upper half of the scorpion's body. The scorpion's body and the head broke into pieces after taking the hit.
The blue ray had a diameter of over 1000 meters and the scorpion's upper body was completely covered by the light. The wizards that were close to the blue ray were evaporated in the light.
The scorpion lost its power and left the realm. It made some noises and its body parts turned translucent. They started disappearing into the dimension fissure.
"We protected our realm! Finally…" Everyone felt relieved. They looked at the scorpion's broken shell and head excitedly.
*BAM*
*ROAR*
Suddenly, the scorpion reappeared in the sky and hit the barrier hard. It almost looked like the scorpion was not damaged at all. The scorpion used its legs and hit the barrier hard.
*Crack*
The wizards were surprised after hearing the noise.
The barrier cracked.
