Chapter 455: Chapter 267: Out of Options? I Have a Plan
"Alright, I’ll take it. But there’s a chance it might be destroyed," Fang Zhen told West.
"I’m willing to pay any price, as long as we can win this war," West said.
Fang Zhen nodded. He took the Alchemy Net from West and used it to encase the red Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone.
This Alchemy Net was quite unique. When infused with curse power, it could expand to capture enormous monsters or shrink to securely envelop a small Blood Essence Stone.
Fang Zhen secured the Blood Essence Stone within the Alchemy Net, then attached the net to a drone, hoisting it into the air.
He said, "I’m about to deploy this drone. It will emit a sonic attack with a wide area of effect, which will impact anyone nearby. All of you need to be careful. It’s best to cover your ears and block out the profane sounds."
Then he looked at Karen and said, "Karen, you’ll be the one to operate this drone."
"Once the drone has lured the aberrations over, you need to pilot it toward the most open space within my line of sight."
"There, you’ll need to evade the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky and the aberrations on the ground, maintaining a safe, mobile distance. Can you do that?"
Karen’s face was flushed with excitement. He declared, "I must do it. I absolutely have to!"
Fang Zhen nodded. ’Karen’s intelligence is beyond question, and his reflexes are sharp,’ he thought. ’Under these conditions, the pressure should be enough to unlock his potential and allow him to handle this job without any issues.’
At that moment, the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky were still gathering their power, preparing for their next volley of poison rain.
Fang Zhen had Karen run a few tests with the drone. Then, he gave the signal, and the drone took flight, dangling the Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone beneath it.
Hanging underneath the drone was the Blood Essence Stone.
Fang Zhen had the drone hover in front of him, then moved to the edge of the city wall.
Suddenly, he infused the Blood Essence Stone with his curse power, activating the Alchemy Bomb.
Instantly, a stream of profane, esoteric language emanated from the Blood Essence Stone. Though clearly a language, it was like smelling a nauseating stench, filling those who heard it with an overwhelming sense of irritation and misery.
On the city wall, the soldiers and Curse Sealers were also affected. Veins bulged on Karen’s forehead; he too seemed to be having a nauseous reaction to the profane words.
"Karen, don’t let the profane language cloud your mind! Focus on your task!" Fang Zhen shouted.
Fang Zhen felt nauseous as well, but with his high Spiritual Power, he was better able to withstand it.
Hearing Fang Zhen’s command, Karen gritted his teeth and focused on controlling the drone.
Karen was indeed exceptionally bright. He quickly got the hang of the drone’s controls, becoming remarkably proficient in a short time. He piloted it with great dexterity and was even able to make it accelerate.
The drone flew out over the city wall, heading toward a relatively empty area.
As the drone carrying the Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone moved away from the wall, the nauseating sensation lessened considerably. It didn’t vanish, but its effect was significantly weakened.
Everyone on the city wall—Fang Zhen, Alexander, Karen, and the others—regained some of their ability to think clearly.
At that very moment, however, the aberrations attacking the city below erupted into a frenzy.
When they saw the Blood Essence Stone dangling from the drone, it was as if they were looking at an object of irresistible attraction.
Like addicts catching sight of white powder at the peak of their cravings, the aberrations completely lost control. They abandoned the siege, madly chasing after the drone that dangled the Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone.
Fang Zhen’s spirits soared.
’The tactic worked!’
