Chapter 1801: Picking Up One by One
Knowing that the thirteen countries wouldn't be able to wait forever, Rean and Havek had more than enough time during these six months to work on the supportive formations for their armies. As mentioned before, they bolstered their armies' strength, making them even harder to defeat.
However, those weren't the important formations. Instead, each of the cities that might have received attacks from the thirteen countries received a very special formation.
Suddenly, the ground trembled as huge amounts of Divine Energy gathered at the center of Indigal City. Soon after, a barrier that covered tens of kilometers around the city appeared, trapping the armies and Yuxin himself there.
Yuxin saw that and snorted while he battled Himisve, saying, "Hmph! It's too late to try and protect yourselves. It won't be long before your System Sect gets wiped out of the map. Let's see how you will defend without that communication method of yours."
Himisve then spaced himself from Yuxin as he laughed out loud in response. "Hahaha! Indeed, I have no idea what will happen to the System Sect. Our commander refused to say a single word about it. However, one thing is certain. You will take the Sect Oath today."
As soon as Himisve said those words, three more Space Bending Realm level Divine Senses appeared in the center of Indigal City.
"What?!" Yuxin wasn't an idiot. He immediately understood that he was the one who had fallen into a trap. "Are you crazy! How can you give up your headquarters that keeps the communication running?! Even if you force me to take the Oath, your alliance will ultimately lose the fight!"
Leticia, who had just appeared, shook her head, replying, "You don't need to worry about that. Now then, will you take the Oath, or shall we force you to do that?"
Yuxin gritted his teeth and immediately turned around. Even if there was a protection formation, he could still break through it if he went all out... or so he thought.
'Unyielding Thrust!'
By using his spear and his strongest single-target attack, Yuxin planned to pass right through the protection formation's barrier. That would be far from enough to destroy the protection formation but should be enough for at least his escape.
Yet, the shattering of the formation that he expected to see was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he simply didn't hit anything at all. His attack passed right through the protection formation barrier as he appeared on the other side. "This..."
No, that was incorrect. Yuxin didn't appear on the other side of the barrier because there was no such a thing as a barrier. "Illusion formation!"
That was correct! Rean and Havek knew very well that with their ability regarding formations, creating a protective barrier capable of stopping a Peak Stage Space Bending Realm enemy would take a very long time. If it was just a single city, they might have had enough time. However, they needed to make supportive formations as well as that special trap formation. That's why Rean and Havek decided to use an illusion formation first. They were much simpler to build, and that also allowed Rean and Havek to prepare another addition. It was the Thoughts Disrupting Formation. That would prevent the disciples who fell for the trap from sending and receiving messages with Thoughts Transmission Talismans. The key was how long they could keep the secret.
Usually, someone at Yuxin's level would be able to use his Spatial Senses and Divine Energy to see through the illusion and escape it. However, he simply wouldn't have enough time for it as Leticia and the others immediately came crashing down on him.
Yuxin tried to run everywhere around while focusing completely on escaping. Unfortunately, it didn't give him enough time to find a way out of the Illusion Formation. Ultimately, he was fighting against four Space Bending Realm enemies, and one of them was Leticia, the one considered the second strongest disciple.
It just took a minute for them to force Yuxin to take the Oath, as he would die if he didn't.
"Fuck all of you! So now what?! The others will now pick your countries out one by one. You got me, but you will lose everything else!" Yuxin complained as he tried to recover from his injuries.
It was then that Roan appeared. "What are all of you waiting for? Let's go! We have six or so Jamai Sect disciples to defeat."
"What?!" Yuxin was shocked. Unfortunately, he was forced to follow Roan to the teleport formations. The formation was already filled with many Rank Three Divine Stones, which ultimately teleported everyone straight to Brumel. Or, to be more specific, straight to the city where Etivinia was fighting Bato. That was the main point of the plan. They needed teleport formations capable of connecting every city at the borders to be ready for teleport.
*Rumble!*
Once again, the same illusion formation appeared as Himisve and the others joined forces to attack Bato. Bato was obviously taken aback when he saw Yuxin and immediately understood that Yuxin was forced to do the Oath since he was still riddled with injuries all over his body.
Just like Yuxin, Bato was still puzzled about why the Butiva Country Alliance would leave their System Sect alone. By now, it was definitely destroyed or about to be destroyed. Little did they know that the System Sect was in Lativan and would be moved again in a few hours.
"Quickly!" Roan complained to Bato and the others. "We need to pick up as many Jamai Sect disciples as possible before they notice something wrong."
Roan was right. Since the System Sect disappeared, the Jamai Sect disciples who went there to destroy it would eventually understand that they had been tricked. At the moment, they were checking Casgalas and the nearby cities, trying to find the System Sect while also destroying the antennas. But ultimately, they would send the word out, warning the attacking countries about it.
One illusion formation after another was activated as the number of Space Bending Realm disciples that were forced to take the Oath increased...
