Chapter 393 The Only Hope
At the entrance of Flower Falls Gorge, members of the [Constellation] organization were fighting desperately, while above in the sky, Nathaniel was engaged in a continuous battle with the figure in the black robe.
The fight between the two had reached a fever pitch, and they had summoned all their mystical beasts.
Behind Nathaniel, eight mystical beasts radiating immense power were battling against eight dark, ominous mystical beasts summoned by the figure in the black robe.
The mutual attacks between the mystical beasts caused the entire ground to begin shaking and trembling.
As the dark attribute mystical beast unleashed a wave of energy, Nathaniel's mystical beast dodged it, but the lingering dark energy wave pierced straight through an entire building!
The dark energy continued to corrode the building's supports, and soon, a nearby building collapsed with a tremendous roar, sending up a cloud of dust that obscured the sky.
Overall, Nathaniel was still at a slight disadvantage in the battle, after all, his mystical beasts couldn't afford to attack recklessly without considering the nearby civilians.
"Damn it, these lunatics, we need to end this fight quickly, or more people will die in Genosha!" Nathaniel glanced at the collapsed building. Find your next adventure on empire
A full-scale battle between eighth-level Beast Masters was no longer suitable for a city or densely populated area.
If neither side wanted to cause massive slaughter, they would usually agree to fight in the air, but the eighth-level Beast Master from the [Constellation] organization wasn't thinking that way.
He would only exploit Nathaniel's concerns to gain an advantage for himself.
"Hmph, you're nothing but this! Even if you come, what can you do? The outcome is already decided, no one will save the people in Flower Falls Gorge!" the figure in the black robe shouted loudly.
With the strength of the eighth-level Beast Master backing him, all the visitors in Flower Falls Gorge could hear him.
Nathaniel wasn't intimidated by the other's words, he replied, "You're just holding on. It seems your body has already suffered from some side effects from that last skill you used, and it's about to give out!"
"Damn it! How did you figure that out? It's all that attacker's fault, he almost ruined our plan!" the figure in the black robe shouted in anger.
If it weren't for the need to return to Flower Falls Gorge and control the incubation of the [Body], his battle with Nathaniel wouldn't be so intense!
He could have long ago taken advantage of Nathaniel's concern for the ordinary people around to gain a significant upper hand!
Now, as time passed, his body was slowly succumbing to the side effects, if this dragged on, defeat was inevitable!
"Aren't you curious? We've been planning this for a long time, just for today. Soon you'll see what kind of existence will be birthed from the flesh, souls, despair, and fear of tens of thousands of people."
"Today, you're lucky enough to witness a great birth!"
"Come on, let despair descend!" The figure in the black robe suddenly retreated a distance, sacrificing his own mystical beast to block Nathaniel's attack.
In his near-mad shout, the entire Flower Falls Gorge began to shake violently, as one black plant after another burst forth from the ground, spreading their tendrils wildly.
Black, indescribable black, capable of consuming all light and hope, surged forth from the tendrils of the black plants, sweeping over the entire Flower Falls Gorge!
The once vibrant Flower Falls Gorge, filled with blooming flowers of every color, began to rapidly shift toward blackness.
Countless plants and flowers lost all their color upon contact with the blackness, as if their hues had been swallowed whole, leaving only a deep, rich black!
"Stop! What is this?" Nathaniel stared at the scene in the gorge, gritting his teeth and unleashing all his strength to launch attacks desperately.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, one dark attribute mystical beast after another from the figure in the black robe sacrificed their lives to hold Nathaniel back.
For a moment, Nathaniel found himself unable to break through the defenses and attack the figure in the black robe.
In the next instant, everyone in Flower Falls Gorge heard the voice of the black-robed figure.
"Ants, feel what despair and fear truly are! The great existence is about to descend, and no one can save you!"
The tourists in Flower Falls Gorge all looked up at the sky, their gazes fixed on Nathaniel.
Nathaniel knew he couldn't afford to delay any longer, he had to find a way to disrupt the black-robed figure's plan!
He gritted his teeth and urged his mystical beasts to keep fighting, while he quickly flew toward the center of Flower Falls Gorge, hoping to find a critical point to disrupt the plan before it was fully realized.
However, just as Nathaniel flew directly above Flower Falls Gorge, he suddenly stopped, and then, as if losing control, began to plummet from the sky!
Fortunately, just as he was about to hit the ground, Nathaniel moved again.
He quickly left the air above Flower Falls Gorge and returned to the entrance, his face pale and his fists clenched tightly.
"You're insane! Are you really trying to destroy the entire world?" Nathaniel's body began to tremble, and blood seeped from his eyes, as if he had just witnessed something unbearably terrifying.
The moment he came into contact with that blackness, he lost control of his body, and a pair of gray-white eyes, the size of planets, appeared before him, filled with endless malice, staring intently at him from an infinite expanse.
Those eyes were merely the tip of the iceberg, there were more indescribable forms in places he could not see.
Just those eyes seemed to encompass the entire world.
Aside from those eyes, Nathaniel could see no other existence!
It was not an illusion, it was a true reality!
He had encountered such a sight when he became an eighth-level Beast Master.
However, the scene he witnessed back then was nowhere near as terrifying as this—far less than one part in ten thousand!
That's why he had just said that the members of the [Constellation] organization were completely insane.
"Hahaha! The higher the level of the Beast Master, the more it attracts the gaze of our Lord. How could a mere mortal dare to gaze upon the body of a god?" The figure in the black robe spread his arms wide in a frenzy.
The surrounding darkness grew ever more intense, and his mental state became increasingly deranged, as his flesh began to quiver, as if something was about to burst forth from his body.
"Open your eyes wide and watch closely, witness your own deaths! To feel even a breath of the divine is already your honor!"
"This great process of incubation is simultaneously unfolding in many places throughout the Ethereal Grove, you are not dying alone!"
Suddenly, the robes of the figure in black fell away, and his flesh seemed to come alive, detaching from his body and coalescing into hollow tendrils that slowly descended into Flower Falls Gorge.
At that moment, the black plants in Flower Falls Gorge also sprouted tendrils, precisely reaching into the hollow tendrils.
It was as if they were merging!
Then, the spread of the black plants accelerated dramatically, with countless fine threads shooting out from the plant's body, ensnaring all the tourists within its range, rendering them completely immobile.
"Help! Someone help!"
"What is happening?"
"Come save us! I don't want to die! Help!"
"Mom! Mom! I miss you!"
More and more cries of despair echoed, only to fade away quickly.
As those black threads tainted them, the tourists all fell silent, their faces frozen in expressions of hopelessness, only able to make whimpering sounds.
Their eyes blinked rapidly, tears slowly streaming down their cheeks, while their bodies lost all control, becoming as immobile as statues.
The blackness began to spread slowly from their feet, creeping upward bit by bit.
The despair of waiting for death filled the entire gorge.
"Run! This is beyond our control! Run! Charles!" Wesley shouted at the top of his lungs, his face filled with terror, like a child facing a legendary monster.
Helplessness and despair.
But in the gorge, black plants spewed forth dark threads, where could they possibly run?
Charles's mind raced frantically. Faced with such a hopeless scene, he had not given up and was constantly thinking of ways to break the deadlock!
As he quickly retreated, he utilized his Divine Domain to dodge the black threads.
Although Wesley was a seventh-level Beast Master, he could not match Charles's extraordinary perception. In a moment of distraction, a black thread wrapped around his thigh.
In an instant, Wesley lost control of his leg.
He fell heavily to the ground, his face filled with unprecedented fear, continuously shouting, "It's coming! It's coming! It's here!"
"Get moving!" Charles wasted no time drawing his black gold long knife and slashing at the black threads.
However, the long knife seemed to strike something nonexistent, passing right through the black thread, leaving Charles stunned in an instant!
At that moment, Wesley seemed to have an idea. Taking advantage of the fact that his arm could still move, he pulled out a red stone and threw it to Charles.
"This stone can help you! Charles, you need to run! You are our only hope. Find a way to save us, save..." Wesley's words were cut short.
More black threads appeared, completely wrapping around him, rendering him immobile. He could only blink rapidly, desperately urging Charles to leave that place!
