Chapter 1042 Flames Of Heaven!
Immediately, the planetary projection crashed into the ground and the whole main plane shook. This was a Continent Zone wide attack that had not been limited by its user for a smaller range, so the devastating after effects were severe.
The entire area of the Mages Association, the proud buildings, books filled with secret magical knowledge, secret areas and resource zones that produced unique goods found nowhere else..
All were rent into nothing. The entire area was turned into a sea of lava and ruin, spreading as far as the eye could see. The land caved in and the sea surged.
This building was obviously not on the Cario Continent. It was just like the Church of Light or the War Maniac Pavilion, with its headquarters located on its own island accessible only through a portal.
Sucked for them though, that the Evil Trio learned the location through the war interface. Now, their precious headquarters housing 90% of their members and top resources/value was gone.
"Tsk, how weak! They couldn't even take one blow!" Draco complained with an expression of lament.
Eva's eyes narrowed in disdain. "And to think I almost used my Sun Star on them. They might have died before it even released its projection."
Shuangtian who cast the skill was relieved. "Thank god they all died, that way no ones can spread what I said."
Eva nodded in agreement, but Draco folded his arms with extreme dissatisfaction. "Hmph, do you even know who uttered those esteemed words? Such a person, if he came to life right now, could give us a run for our money for like 2 seconds."
This shocked Eva and Shuangtian. Eva accessed Draco's thoughts to see who he was referring to and understood. Oh so it was a tough fellow who is quite respected around the world even to this day.
Shuangtian also had access to these memories and came to the same conclusion. Suddenly, she did not feel so disgusted anymore.
Draco saw that the two beauties had finally accepted the situation and harrumphed. His anger lessened a little but he continued to sulk unhappily.
The two beauties could only smile helplessly and rush over to comfort him. Who knew it was a trick from the fellow as he grabbed the two of them and began wantonly fondling their sweet bodies with his crummy claws?
The two beauties naturally became red-faced and shouted about Draco's shamelessness, but at this point who didn't know this? They could only hope that no one was around to see them as Draco enjoyed himself.
When done, he let them go and opened a portal that led to their next target, which was obviously the Merchant's Guild.
You thought that this guild had abstained from showing themselves that day? Naive!
The threat to Rank 7 fellows was too great to ignore so they too had rushed over, but had spectated like the Mages Association. Even their 'good friend' Borgious had been present, so don't think someone else acted behind his back.
You might then wonder, why did the War Maniac Pavilion and the Church of Light not rush over that day, even to spectate?
It was not because they feared or loved Draco, or favored him. The current Draco wasn't entirely qualified for them to quiver in their boots like the other factions.
After all, a good amount of what made Draco rise above and beyond in the early stages apart from Clarent was things he got from the Church of Light.
If Draco dared to run over and make a peep, do you think they wouldn't dare to mass open Divine Treasure Chests and duke it out with him? At that point, it would be a lose-lose situation.
The reason they didn't come over that day was because they didn't care about Rank 7 as a tier and the people within!
After all, like Draco, they too had the means to execute any Rank 7 below Titled God!
However, unlike Draco, their power was trained on everyone but the main plane Rank 7's, mainly the Demon Race! So they did not dare to question those two factions and rather respected them, but how dare upstart Draco have a means to kill them?
That's why they singled him out. The War Maniac Pavilion and the Church of Light to this day had not made one move, and it was clear that they wouldn't. They had full adopted the role of spectators.
As long as one human survived to reproduce it was fine. It was not like they were counting on these trash Rank 7 blokes to hold back the demons, so their life and death was not their business.
When the Evil Trio appeared above the Merchant's Guild, their powerhouses immediately rushed out while sweating. The destruction of the Mages Association was not exactly known, but the dramatic explosion was felt.
Not to mention the Mages Association had sent a distress call to all other factions. Then the boom!
…and now Draco, Eva and Shuangtian were here.
Borgious was a merchant so his calculative ability was slightly better than most. He was able to do the 1 +1 and his face changed greatly as he knew he was on the cusp of life and death.
He looked at the three in the air and their arrogant expressions, then his people who were looking at him with hope, thinking he could lead them out of this situation.
Borgious took a deep breath and made a decision!
FUCKING RUN!
PEW!
Borgious shot off like a meteor to the side and then activated a space treasure he kept to teleport him out of here.
His actions were so sudden that his colleagues were shocked, but the Evil Trio simply watched him go with amused expressions. They turned to each other and chatted casually.
"Borgious has always been a smart fellow. That was the best choice to make." Eva remarked with appreciation.
"Borgious is someone who shouldn't die here. His usefulness to the human race will shine under different circumstances." Draco acknowledged with a nod.
"This is my first time meeting him, but he gives me a positive feeling. However, if hes so clever, why would he dogpile us back then?" Shuangtian asked with puzzlement.
Draco and Eva smiled and turned to his colleagues. "They are the ones with the answer most likely."
Suddenly, Eva waved a hand and time stopped for all the Rank 7 fellows here. It didn't matter what power or position they had, they were all frozen by Eva.
Only True Gods could use the laws of Boundless to resist the Evil Trio's sealed bloodlines an their effects. Everyone else was susceptible to them.
Shuangtian them went forward and picked a random person. Her hand became ghostly black color with flecks of white (AN: like the Taken in Destiny) and then grabbed at the fellow.
The fellow seemed to show fear even in frozen time, but Shaungtian's attack was unimpeded. She pulled out his soul and then held a ghostly body before her. He then stuck a finger insides its chest, which sucked violently.
Immediately, the soul was drained like a leaky tire and deflated into a thin husk which Shuangtian threw back into his body.
She then closed her eyes and digested the information she took as well as shared it with Draco and Eva. When the other two received the influx of information, their faces became full of strangeness.
It turned out that Borgious was actually unwilling to go, obviously. He had interacted with Draco and Eva and long knew about their specialness.
While others were brainless and forgetting important details due to fear and panic, he still remembered the First Player Auction, the fact that Draco had sold them Advanced Spatial Creation Devices and most importantly, owned fucking Vita kingdom.
Vita Kingdom which held the interests of their own faction as well as the other top two factions that could also easily kill Rank 7's!
However, he was voted out of favor and forced to go along with others. In fact when they were wreaking havoc on Vita, Borgious had to use force to stop his members from taking part.
When Draco came back and showed his might, they immediately cowered and felt endless regret. These merchants were controlled by their greed and had made this mistake, and the previously annoying and cowardly Borgious was like an enlightened saint who knew the future to them.
As such, they ran over to beg him to represent them and beg Draco. Borgious did not even bother because that would not fix anything. In fact, he would've packed up and run long ago if it wasn't for these fellows always watching him and pestering so he would not do just that.
So the moment he got a chance when they were distracted by fear, he bolted.
Draco was endlessly amused. Borgious did not bother to beg or reveal his 'kindness' when everyone trued to step on him because that was pointless and would rather disgust the Evil Trio.
As such, he left knowing that they would probably interrogate the others to find out what happened. What was told artificially and what was found out naturally were two different things and led to two different outcomes altogether.
Draco sighed and felt that Borgious was truly deserving of his power, unlike those dumbass mages who couldn't even muster a defense and wanted to 'discuss' with him, he had planned a way out.
Draco glanced at the Merchant's Guild with disdain. Because of its nature, it wasn't closed off and was on a normal continent called the Pleviour Expanse. It was a continent with a large landmass, almost three times of Cario and a lot of players as well as NPCs.
However today, it would remember what it meant to feel fear. Eva stepped forward and glanced down at the frozen Rank 7 fellows and the various parties below who were waiting for their fate.
Before she pronounced judgment on them, Draco quickly used his space control to swipe all their stuff that they thought was hidden. If Eva could find it back then, then he could find even more now.
"Before you all die, I was the one who robbed you and released the mind plague. Also, my soulmate just robbed you to the point of dryness right now." Eva revealed coldly, causing the faces of all those below to change.
Eva then waved a hand and the sky cracked once more. A giant hole was torn that displayed an endless void above he blue edges, and in that void, a giant sun was minding its own business, lashing out with flames and generally being hot.
「Active 2 – Raze: The heat of the sun can only be borne by special fire species like the Sun Crow, the Phoenix, etc. Any other species subjected to its heat would be turned into ash, without a chance to fight back. Summon your Inner Sun out into the real world and allow its explosive heat to sweep through the battlefield. Duration: Variable. Cooldown: Variable.」
Unlike the planet which rushed out and crushed everyone, the sun seemed to explode with energy a wave of heat and light was expunged from the void and came crashing down on the masses.
It was like a shockwave that whipped everyone. The entire continent was lashed by this heat and light, searing all flesh from bone and causing everyone to go up in flames.
Nothing survived, no building, no tree, no person. Everything was burned to death, leaving charred ground and some ruins here and there were civilization formerly existed.
Draco rushed and then opened a pocket space, releasing all the non-combat and non-power faction related NPCS onto the ground after freezing a portion into ice.
There were trillions of them, and they were shocked by the sudden change.
Draco threw down a portable portal and linked it to Vita. Then he set up a quest for the serf members of Umbra to sort these fellows out one way or another and let them resume life before leaving with his beauties.
