Chapter 1163: Chapter 469: Cooperation (Part 3)
The reason we are able to eliminate those demons here is due to the indestructibility of the soul anchored by this Treasure.
If it were not for the Treasure, we couldn’t have achieved this, let alone that this is a Scepter Level Treasure, elevating the ritual to a level beyond its reach.
The cost is that the ability of the ritual will continue to persist, and fortunately, the Cloud Staff was strong enough at the time, maintaining the ritual effortlessly.
Just now, this favorable aspect has become a difficult issue."
Cancelling the ritual will cause the Evil Spirits to immediately leave and spread everywhere.
The number of Evil Spirits is completely unknown to even Lumina and others.
In such a case, they don’t know how many civilians are actually here.
Because even among those they knew, there were thousands of soldiers and civilians turning into Evil Spirits.
In the battle against demons, under the Abyss’s influence, the strength of these Evil Spirits is not as they once imagined.
"How can the alliance at the frontline not know about the issues here, how are they resolving and contemplating this?"
Alka asked.
"The simplest method is to dispatch sufficient troops, surrounding the mountain exit. At the moment of the suspected release, eliminate those demons that emerge.
As long as the majority of the Evil Spirits are cleared, the remainder would not pose a significant problem.
However, the issue is too much force is needed, and the frontline always needs troops for defense. Demons wouldn’t easily give up such a serious flaw, not just us, demons are also aware of the situation here."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, as indeed, there were considerations concerning the demons.
These demons are unlikely to exploit the problems of this area.
Fortunately, these demons won’t come here, as these Evil Spirits gradually went insane fighting demons, becoming Evil Spirits. Against demons, they would possess stronger special attacks.
After pondering for a while, Alka looked at them and said, "If I could, within a very short time, bring the ritual and the area where the ritual takes place to another space, could that solve the problem?"
"What do you mean?" Lumina reacted slowly, coming over with a furrowed brow to ask.
"This area is the range of the ritual, right?"
Alka pointed around, indicating farther locations.
The area where the ritual array resides is quite large.
Lumina understood his meaning and nodded.
"I mean, I will dig up this entire area, taking it to an enclosed space. Can this solve the problem?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Lumina fell into deep thought.
Seeing this situation, Alka did not disturb her, quietly waiting.
After quite a while, Lumina uncertainly nodded.
"If you dig up the whole thing, including the Cloud Staff, the ritual will still exist. It will remain intact. It will no longer pose a threat here."
"Are you sure?" Alka looked at her, asking seriously.
Lumina nodded: "If you can guarantee digging up the whole thing directly without affecting the Cloud Staff’s operation. And it must be an enclosed space."
"Great."
Then the main problem is resolved.
Alka spread his palm, and the Heart of Vastwa emerged from his palm.
"This is my Scepter Level Treasure, possessing a small world, over which I have strong control."
Then, the Earth Card manifested beside him: "And this Treasure that controls Earth Elements can assist us in completing this task."
Before they could speak, Alka spoke again: "But there’s one problem, after digging up, the Evil Spirits also become free, right?"
Lumina nodded, as this was the issue she planned to address.
"So the main issue now is to gather all these Evil Spirits back, do you have any way?"
Hearing this, Lumina pondered for quite a while, and then shook her head: "Maybe there is a way, but it won’t be thought out so quickly, it needs careful thinking and research."
Alka nodded: "My companions will also think, please gather your people with relevant knowledge and abilities to think together here.
Collective brainstorming, with more people, can result in better solutions."
Lumina nodded, agreeing to the request since she indeed saw hope.
Such a glimmer of hope is enough.
After confirming communication with both sides, Alka immediately left.
After Alka’s departure, Henggs and others still remained in place.
"Is it feasible?"
Hearing Henggs’ words, Lumina looked ahead blankly.
"If not, what could we do? We don’t have much choice, do we? Perhaps... the choice back then shouldn’t have been made."
She said, looking around at the Evil Spirits wandering from various corners.
She could call out the names of each one of these Evil Spirits.
Accompanying them to the end, brave soldiers, civilians still lingered here.
They were all her former companions, comrades, friends, even family.
Yet during her ritual, battling demons, their souls were extinguished again and again, enduring unmerited pain.
Even after eliminating demons, they cannot rest in peace, transformed by Abyss’s aura during demon battles into such terrifying forms.
Maintaining Abyss’s aura in this area, they can never return to the form souls ought to have.
They became... the monsters they once fought against.
"He is a follower of the Holy Mother, I can feel the Holy Mother’s gaze on him. This time, let’s pray he brings us true peace."
Henggs dismounted and patted Lumina’s shoulder.
Lumina nodded.
Subsequently, several ghostly figures vanished from the scene.
Alka meanwhile returned all the way to the camp where the stone house was located, discussing the confirmed communication matters with Chadite and others.
Then he began to prepare.
Preparing for mutual communication and thinking, as well as the final response to this matter.
