Rogue's brows furrowed as he looked at the light particles.
It made sense that the dragon disappeared since it was a mutated beast but it should have left behind a mana core.
But as much as he looked the mana core was nowhere to be seen.
'What the hell is happening.' He thought. Thankfully they attacked the dragon as soon as it tried to enter, due to which the properties weren't damaged but still many died.
"Shit!" He cursed as he clenched his chest. He was facing the backlash of his skill's eternal shadow.
Blood flowed from his lips as he trembled.
Unknown to them using the dragon as bait certain three wolves had entered the area. And surprisingly their fur wasn't white, instead one had blue fur while the tiger two had ashy black fur.
The one with blue fur was female and the other two with ashy black fur were male.
They quickly mixed among the citizens.
["That castle you see, that's where Amael is. Mike come with me I need to give you a plan. Andrea, you stay here."] Listing to this Andrea and Mike nodded.
Mike quickly followed Asher and after walking for some time both of them stopped.
["What is it that you want to say to me."]
["She is the traitor"]
As soon as Asher heard these words he frowned
["How are you so sure? Do you have any evidence"].
["She is the traitor"]
Asher sighed as he questioned once again.
["Were is the damn evidence"]
["She is the traitor. My words are the evidence"]
Asher once again sighed. This was the one quality within Mike that he didn't like. He was a complete show-off with a very big ego.
[Your words aren't evidence."]
["Yes they are"]
["Whatever, I will deal with it later. For now, keep an eye on her and don't do anything stupid. All you have to do is if a battle breaks out immediately join and if not follow the original plan.]
["All right leader"] Mike said as he walked away.
Asher then proceeded to look toward the castle as he immediately hid his presence and dashed toward the castle.
'I have to use it once again!' He exclaimed within his mind as a crystal orb materialized in front of him.
He quickly pouted his mana inside the crystal form and the next movement...
"Kyuuuuuyuuu"! A giant phoenix as large as the whole castle appeared. It had crystal blue eyes and red feathers. Its beak was mesmerizing gold in color.
The phoenix was covered in bright hot crimson-red flames which looked like could burn anything.
And before the phoenix could do anything else... A humanoid figure appeared in front of it.
'A celestial!' Asher exclaimed as he looked at the celestial. It looked as if he was standing on the air
"Become my pet and I might spare you." And the fact that the celestial looked very young was even more carrier.
The celestial continued looking at the Phoenix as if waiting for its response but instead of speaking anything the Phonix's eyes shined brightly and flames were launched toward the celestial and covered his body.
The celestial quickly spanned his finger and suddenly the flames disappeared.
He then looked towards the buildings around his left and right.
'The phoenix's mere presence should have melted these buildings. That means... Illusion!' He once again snapped his finger and the phoenix disappeared.
'I knew it!' He exclaimed as his body disappeared and the next second reappeared on the roof of the castle.
["All the guards make sure that this so-called descendant of that heavenly wolf family is still there."]
["S-sir. He's nowhere to be found] The celestial gritted his teeth as he heard these words.
"Useless!" He exclaimed as his body once again vanished and appeared in the sky.
He quickly closed his eyes and spread his mana as far as he could trying to search for the one.
'Damn it! Fategr is not here too. If he was there these people would be long dead!' He was a Tier -2 celestial while his father was Tier -5 celestial.
**********
Asher who was in his human form with Orion in his arms was dashing as fast as he could. And beside him was another handsome human-like figure with black hair. There were two more humanoid figures. Mike and Andrea.
"Why is the celestial here? I thought you said none of the celestials came!"
"I dunno. It looks like he appeared just five minutes ago!"
"Damn it!"
"Amael! Have you brought the crystal!"
"Yes, leader!"
"Good! Give it to me!" A crystal similar to the crystal Asher had, but a little smaller materialized in his palm.
He quickly gave it to Asher, who placed the crystal on top of the crystal he had and poured his mana trying to merge them.
He looked at the process hoping that it will complete soon since with this not only will they have a stronger illusion but they could even perform mental attacks with it. Mental attacks that can stop a Tier -3 celestial for two seconds.
'It' almost done!' He exclaimed internally but then suddenly.
"What do you think you're doing? Amael" Mike's cold but sharp voice echoed
Amael had a dagger that was near Asher's neck. But space around that place had wrapped itself around the Knife stopping the attack.
Looking at this Amael smiled. Asher was completely shocked as he couldn't sense his attack.
And the next movement the crystal in his palm had successfully merged but for some reason, it was having irregular reactions
It suddenly cracked and shattered into many pieces. Some pieces at a very terrifying speed pierced through his palm.
Some pierced through his shoulders too. Some were headed toward his head but he managed to Ridge them.
'So he's the traitor! I have to kill him!' Asher quickly thought as a knife materialized in his bloodied palm.
The knife was moving towards Amael's neck who was... Smiling. His smile looked twisted and creepy.
Boooooooommmmmmm!
His body self-destructed. It was a move where a person will accumulate his mana and let it become chaotic inside his body as a result it bursts
The stronger a person is the stronger their blast will be upon self-destruction.
Mike quickly used his mana to make the blast as small as possible.
Due to this Asher was heavily injured but not killed.
But it had already caused a commotion
The next second a celestial appeared in front of them.
"So this is where you rats were hidden." He said with a mocking smile looking at all of them
Mike gritted his teeth as he looked towards celestial.
'I'll have to use the skill!' He exclaimed within his mind
The celestial noticed Mike's gaze his smile widened. He lifted his hand and in the next movement, a shadow blade was launched toward Asher.
The blade was launched so fast that he didn't have the time to react but...
The blade just passed through him. It passed through him as if Asher was a ghost.
Mike's face pales as some drops of blood fell down his lips.
"Mike!" Asher exclaimed as he realized that Mike had used his skill.
This skill was very strong known as absolute space manipulation. And it was such a strong skill, not even a tier -8 celestial would dare to use this skill.
Just as the skills name suggested one could absolutely control space with the help of this skill. You can do anything with space.
It was as if space while using this skill space was the user's domain and anything that existed was within the domain. The user could do anything to the ones that existed, let them be spirit or human.
But it was such a terrifying skill that it absorbed mana rapidly. The amount of mana belonging to a supreme celestial.
And Mike didn't even have 1% of the mana that was required to use this skill.
As a result, he had to use his life force to use the skill and even lost his levels, and he had to sacrifice that much just to use the skill for one second.
He coughed blood but he was glad Asher survived. What he performed was a simple move of the skill which at least took 4 levels from him.
"Is that your doing?" He asked Mike as he once again launched his shadow blade
Seeing this Mike once again activated his skill. As a result, even more, blood flowed down his lips.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the celestial laughing like a crazy manic.
"Looks like upon using your life force becomes weaker." He said looking towards Mike.
Mike felt like he would fall unconscious at any movement.
'He's underestimating the skill. I will use a stronger move...' He quickly once again used his skill of absolute space manipulation.
Suddenly celestial's face twisted as he suddenly felt threatened.
The next moment...
Booom! His body was thrown hundreds of meters across, but he quickly used an attack.
Mike continued using his skill. The next movement appeared near the spacial distortion protecting the land. His senses weren't working so he couldn't detect the attack, which didn't hit him.
He used his absolute space manipulation to break the spatial magic that was set up.
He then quickly used his own spatial magic and took them thousands of feet far from the place.
************
"Ha! Those bugs survived!" Exclaimed a person with white hair and an extremely handsome face.
Beside him was standing a person who looked copy of him. The reference was that he had red hair.
And there were three more people behind him who too looked copy of Amael, just they had different hairs colors.
