Chapter 1731 We will go in.
*Whoosh*
With a sound, a screen appeared right in front of Nux, and in that screen, an army standing in front of a world that was covered in Black Mist could be seen.
Nux could tell that this was recorded from someone's perspective and that someone was standing right in front of the army as if he was the leader there.
Then suddenly, another being, who wasn't visible at first but appeared when he stepped forward, seemed like he was standing right next to the person recording this and now had taken a few steps forward.
The man then raised his hand.
They were still in Outer Space, which was covered in Universal Energy. Although these people were at a level where Universal Energy couldn't do much harm to them, it was still poison nonetheless. Given enough time, it would affect even them.
These people, who knew that, weren't planning on wasting too much time here. So instead of a long speech to motivate the five thousand-man strong army, the man who had stepped forward just raised his hand. In an instant, five thousand beings standing in front of him all stood straight, alert, and ready to move.
Nux could see that all these five thousand beings had different forms of energy around them, which was quite surprising since only people with Death Energy dared to take this mission. Soon, however, he realized that this was recorded during the time when not much was known about the situation.
After all, before this raid, not a single soul had returned alive from this place.
As Nux was thinking about all this, the man who had raised his hand suddenly turned his face and glanced at the man recording everything. He nodded at him, as if asking for permission, and a second later, he lowered his arm.
The next instant, the army moved towards Umbrasol, stopping right before the Reaper's Veil that oozed with Death Energy.
The man who gave orders then moved forward. He was one of the few who had Death Energy surrounding him, and the instant he touched the Reaper's Veil, he created a hole in it.
A hole big enough for the army to enter.
With this, the first part of the mission-entering Umbrasol-was completed without a single casualty. Even the beings who didn't use Death Energy were able to enter because of the hole created.
At the end, the person recording also flew in; however, the moment he landed in Umbrasol, Nux noticed something odd through the screen. The army that was alert
and well-organized just now had become more... chaotic.
It didn't take long for the people to turn towards the recorder and,
"Lord Arvin! I-I cannot sense my powers!"
One of them shouted, and as soon as he did,
"I am the same!"
"I cannot use my powers either!"
It wasn't just these people. The one recording, Arvin, also looked at his hands. He tried
to activate his energy, but his power soon dissipated and disappeared.
Arvin glanced at his most trusted aide, the one who had opened the hole for the army to enter.
"What about you, Rudrasil?"
Nux heard Arvin's voice. His heavy voice was full of authority and boundless confidence. Not a single trace of panic could be felt from his voice, even though his powers weren't working.
Yes, the man was just that confident.
"I can use my powers just fine," the subordinate, Rudrasil, replied with a respectful look on his face.
Arvin then glanced at the rest of his army and questioned,
"Who else can use all their powers?"
"I-I can!"
"I-I can sense my powers as well!"
Around eight hundred men raised their hands, and as Arvin glanced at them, he noticed something.
"Lord..." Rudrasil seemed to have noticed the same thing as well.
"Only the people who use Death Energy can use their powers here. This is why none of the people sent here before ever returned alive. They couldn't even use their powers to fight back."
Arvin spoke in a grim voice.
"Lord...
Should we retreat?
We can return with a more suitable army in the second raid."
Rudrasil suggested.
"Prepare to retreat."
Arvin nodded as well.
Not being able to use their powers was already a huge disadvantage. If they continued, they would only be increasing the number of casualties on their side pointlessly.
It was much better to retreat and come back with people who had control over the Energy of Death and could at least use their powers here.
What Arvin couldn't understand, however, was that since they came to this conclusion, how come the people sent here before couldn't do the same thing?
It was an unwritten rule to prioritize survival and rush back to relay any information that you found out in these high-death-rate missions instead of going forward despite being at a clear disadvantage.
The people who came here before should have retreated the moment they found out that their powers weren't working. Then why didn't they...
*Whoosh**Whoosh* *Whoosh*
And soon, Arvin, who turned around, found the answer to the question that had been
troubling him.
"W-W-What are those...?"
A man shouted.
Huge black tornadoes roamed around in the place they came from.
Rudrasil, who saw that, narrowed his eyes.
"Lord..."
He called with a grave look on his face.
Arvin turned towards him, and from the look on his face, he could tell that Rudrasil
sensed something, so he waited for him to explain.
"Those things are made of violent Death Energy.
None of us would survive if it got even 10 meters close to us."
"What...?" Arvin was surprised.
...
Rudrasil just nodded in silence, assuring Arvin that he wasn't mistaken.
Arvin glanced at the Death Tornadoes again and noticed although they were on the
ground as well, the sky was the place they had covered completely.
It was as if...
"They are blocking the exit..."
Arvin muttered, and Rudrasil nodded.
With more than five thousand people, it was absolutely impossible to avoid those
death tornadoes and leave.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"So this is why none of them could return..."
Arvin realized it.
"Lord... what should we do...?"
Rudrasil questioned. "You use Death Energy, can you pass through those things and return?" Arvin
questioned. Rudrasil, however, shook his head.
"That Death Energy is too violent.
Death Energy is already hard to control, but that one... none of us here can control it.
The only person who can leave this place is you, Lord, and I am not confident that
even you can make it out without suffering a setback"
Arvin wasn't angered by that answer.
He knew Rudrasil wasn't underestimating him. These Death Tornadoes were just that dangerous, even his instincts were warning him not to get close to them.
Therefore, Arvin made a decision.
A decision he had been ridiculing before but had to take now that he was presented
with no choice.
"We will go in."
