Chapter 527 - The Vampyres' Fearsome Defense

Edrusim watched with a complicated expression as he saw a minute location in the Dark Expanse occupied by the Celestials in their second battle, his gaze landing on the being shining in gold as he asked himself if it was worth keeping this piece of their in play if it would cost them losses of strongholds at the expense of not losing too many lives.
He saw the ingenuity of this being to save all those tens of thousands of beings that others thought he had killed, and he knew that if it was another Celestial Legion, even more deaths might have occurred before one side retreated or called for surrender.
He steeled his heart as he only saw positives with this being called Crixus, seeing the manner that he ended the battle while calling for no more loss of lives as they simply began to occupy the three stars and bring them under their influence in the coming days.
"Let us discuss things like this in advance next time."
He voiced out to the medallion that connected him to Vladivostok, his voice carrying enormous weight as he and the many beings in this Mage's Tower accepted the first loss in this war, and it was a loss that came from one of their own forces.
Could it really be considered a loss though?
This question would roam in the minds of many powerful Mages and Edrusim as they took the scenes of this battle and further reinforced the many strongholds lying in the periphery of the Dark Expanse.
Different reactions were occurring throughout, but Noah floated in the void of space as he saw the Celestials beneath him righteously take over the three planets of the Witches Layer, numerous Fate Lines and Chaos Particles going towards him as he continued elevating his strength ever higher.
For the beings that he mass teleported into the Ancient Blood World, they would effectively be taking a vacation for some time in this world as they waited for more commands from the higher ups in the Dark Expanse.
They were supposed to be dead, so they would remain dead for now before they all returned to be spread out across the Dark Expanse to reinforce the war effort when Old Man Inuit saw it fit. Communications would occur between Vladivostok and the Grand Mage Edrusim to make this happen even smoother.
His eyes that had lost their extreme apathy from the ability under the [Juvenile Terror] being turned off glanced at the scene of his legion occupying the three stars of the Witches Layer as he steeled his heart and accepted this responsibility. He would be here for at least a few days as he oversaw the occupation, the rule of the Celestials needing to be fully established before his legion continued further into the Dark Expanse.
As his main body oversaw this, in another defensive region across the line that distinguished the Light Expanse from the Dark Expanse, a force of Vampyres and Infernals under the banner of the 8th Infernal Lord stood strongly defending another stronghold that Wizards occupied.
This stronghold was an enormous Prime World called The Mist Domain, a star that was surrounded by a unique cl.u.s.ter of mist all around it. It gave a mysterious feel as currently, vessels and the figures of hundreds of thousands of beings were floating in the starry expanse of space around this Mist Domain, their eyes actually gleaming with anticipation for the coming battles!
At the Mist Domain, members of the Infernal Legion of the 8th Infernal Lord were present and being led by the World Rank Infernal Lord himself, the defense added to even more with the addition of Vampyres and the Wizards that were the original inhabitants of this star.
Something that caught the eyes of many were the uniquely designed armor that the Vampyres wore, its style reminiscent of the one they had seen the followers of the 9th Infernal Lord wear in the first battle at the Verittas Fortress!
These armored Vampyres gave off a different feel that many expected, even their eyes showing a light of determination and strength that awed their allies. This was because within their bodies, they carried the reinforcement of two Supreme Laws, the boosts of the two Guider Type Abilities stemming from Noah increasing their strength to a great degree as they prepared to show their newly rising Progenitor that they were worthy of such strength.
Devilishly handsome figures with flowing silver hair, their determined eyes gazed forward as the appearance of a Celestial Legion unfolded in front of the Mist Domain, tens of thousands of beings starting to erupt out of the Warsh.i.p.s as yet another battle was about to unfold in a separate location of the Dark Expanse.
This Celestial Legion was led by three World Rank Commanders, which matched very well with the single World Rank Infernal Lord and the leading Vampyre and Wizard Commander that were also at the World Rank. Those distributing the Celestial Legions had found it fit to send this specific one to the Mist Domain after ascertaining the level of opposition they would face with Fate Discernment.
But on this day...what they discerned would not go the way they planned as in the battle for the obscured planet that was called the Mist Domain, the Celestial Legion was met with a shocking fire power not from the Infernals or Wizards, but from the forces of Vampyres as they showed never before seen levels of strength and resiliency!
Their attacks carried with them horrendous damage that broke through the defenses of Celestials, and their bodies seemed especially resistant to the attacks that carried the essence of Fate that the Celestials released.
Fighting with strength and nobility that had not been seen for hundreds of years, the force of Vampyres pushed back against the invading Celestial Legion as the shocking results of Celestials retreating came to be. A single Celestial Commander had managed to escape, with one killed and another captured!
This battle resulted in another loss for the Celestials on their conquest as the higher ups reviewed the scenes of battle and planned more for the future, knowing that these first initial battles were only a prelude to the many small wars to come.
But the newfound strength of Vampyres was first shown in this battle in the Mist Domain, and many would come to realize that such a level of strength was actually widespread among the Vampyres, the strongholds they protected being those where the Celestials would face the most losses in the future to come!
