Chapter 638 A twist
BZZZ!
The fire disappeared.
"…"
"…"
"…..!"
The twist was so sudden; everything happened so fast.
2 seconds earlier…
Legolas raised his pitch-black spear up before swinging it hard.
WHOM!
The spear cut through the air with power.
The Beast King was finally about to be executed.
Duhkha was about to become history.
Gaufrid was finally about to become the symbol that he always wanted but just before the spear could hit its target, a foreign power erupted.
Precisely, 2 powers erupted.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding against metal reverberated and it was so subtle that only few managed to notice it, then following the metal was fire.
Fire erupted and tore through the shield surrounding the Beast Emperor's palace almost instantly as it enveloped the executioner the next moment, Legolas instantly felt all his danger instincts tingle.
Gaufrid's eyes widened in shock due to the interruption.
Legolas' eyes also widened in shock and confusion. "What…?"
He paused as he finally saw it, the hand holding the sword that parried his execution attack, preventing Gaufrid from being executed at the last moment.
The green Reptilian scales of this hand stole his attention first.
Then, he heard the familiar voice reverberate in his mind.
'Got you!' The voice cackled, filled with maliciousness.
Legolas shuddered on hearing it.
He recognized it, this voice was Ghost's voice.
Raising his head, he finally saw the body and face of the existence that stopped the execution. It was Ghost, the Shapeshifting Reptile and Espionage Priest of the Beast Coalition whose hidden identity was Admiral Nathan.
At this moment, Ghost was back in his base reptilian form that was a gigantic lizard with thick green scales covering all over his body.
"…!" Legolas' eyes widened in shock.
The voice transmission through his spirit sense continued.
'Legolas Baron…, the all-knowing seer!'
'Hehehe, I knew that was a f*cking bluff from the beginning'.
'Apart from the Beast Coalition, I'm a spy of a 2nd organization, I'm the 2nd in command in charge of the espionage department of the ElKing army'.
'I've seen seers, I'm heard of them, none of them is like you'.
'Your powers are not those of a seer, that's where I got my first suspicions and this moment confirms it, you never saw this coming'. The reptile grinned.
'You never thought I'd let you kill the hope of beast freedom right?'
'Gaufrid is already a symbol of beast freedom'.
'He does not have to die to prove anything'.
This reptile grinned. 'At first, I have to admit that I was truly caught off-guard by the effectiveness of your unique ability and how much you knew about us'.
'I thought hard and analyzed for weeks yet was not able to find a loophole to turn the tides in favor of the Beast Coalition, this was until I remembered the Red Deacon, you never spoke of a Red Deacon coming to the Beast Empire'.
'That was the moment that I confirmed that you were no seer'.
'As soon as I discovered this, everything else became easy'.
'All I had to do was to contact the Red Deacon, warn him of your threat while devising a plan together on how to capture you without telling even the Beast King since all connections to him were tightly monitored'.
'I never expected you to have another hidden plan though'.
'Hehe…, what a perfect plan to cripple the dream of beast freedom while benefiting from it, you really thought us for fools right?!' The voice exploded in rage.
'The audacity to suggest killing our leader and expecting us to stay calm!'
'At first, I thought we were completely outsmarted, I already lost hope since your real body was not here, this was until Gaufrid asked for you to finish the job'.
'Few noticed it but I did,' This Reptile grinned again. 'It was that moment that your real body arrived here to complete the execution'.
'At that moment, I knew you were thinking you already won'.
'You were smug and all arrogant, right?' He smirked.
'You already completely outsmarted a Star System level terrorist organization, what an achievement to your resume'.
'What a genius'.
'Hehe, you're a fool!'
'A BLOODY FOOL!"
'Bringing your real body exposed you, it enabled I and the Red Deacon to execute our original plan'.
'You did well, Legolas'.
'You truly are a genius but it's over, we won'.
Voice transmissions through spirit senses were extremely fast.
This conversation started and ended in less than a second.
By now, the fire released by the Red Deacon already engulfed Legolas. He felt powerless as the indomitable fire energy completely suppressed him.
As soon as the Red Deacon and the Espionage Priest appeared, at that millisecond, Fleet Warlord Elyon and the other Calamity Grades noticed it.
"Save the seer!" Fleet Warlord Elyon roared.
Activating their strongest abilities, they tried to breach the new shield of fire that was created by the Red Deacon even as the Beast Priests stopped them.
Everything was happening so fast, George, the 1st Upper Beast Priest and the other Beast Priests had no idea what was going on.
Despite this, they instinctively tried to stop the Nak and Ackermann Calamity Grades who tried to prevent whatever was happening from happening.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The previously silent battlefield suddenly erupted into a noisy affair again as powerful Calamity Grade energy clashed aggressively before the palace of the Beast King where the Red Deacon now looked at his prized possession.
The existence hidden in the red robe held the Summoner by the chin as he looked into his eyes passionately. "Ah…, Legolas Baron, we finally meet".
"This place is noisy, let's go to a quieter place to discuss".
BZZZ!
Amid the rabid attacks from the Calamity Grades of the allied force of the Nak and Ackermann Navy, the fire disappeared, taking with them the Red Deacon, the Espionage Priest, Legolas, and the Beast King.
"…!" The eyes of the Nak and Ackermann Calamity Grades widened, then immense rage appeared in these eyes the next moment.
Legolas declared a cease fire previously but this was just torn apart.
This betrayal just declared this war unreconcilable.
"You backstabbing bastards!" Fleet Warlord Elyon overloaded his mech suit.
When this Mechanic pulled the trigger, an apocalypse followed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The war restarted and instantly geared into overdrive!
