Chapter 242: Guardians vs Order

Enigma sighed as she watched the female officer faint.

The Abyssals moved faster than she expected. Thankfully, she was not alone.

The Abyssals cross tunneled into the dungeons, destroyed the garrisons deployed at the dungeons and rushed to the meeting place with the Shadow Order.

The Planetary Guards rushed to the scene and held them back long enough.

If the Abyssals entered the Secret Realm and used their technology to remove Dreamer's tracker…then everything would be futile.

She glanced at the twelve dead soldiers and thirteen who were barely alive, including the woman.

"Thank you." Enigma muttered and said. "Yi, take care of them."

A petite figure dressed in all black appeared behind her and nodded violently. "Yes."

She hurriedly administered the living a 6 star healing potion and took every human, dead or alive, to a far off distance.

Then she turned her attention to the distance.

Enigma was floating in the sky. Her gaze seemed to pierce space itself. She calmly said. "On position."

At the same time, on five different locations, five people per location, in black clothing were brandishing their weapon against empty space.

This included a location under the ocean and a location up in the clouds.

All of them looked extremely serious. Fortunately, there were no speculators.

All of them said after Enigma. "On position."

Then, their comms buzzed and a hologram covered the space in front of them.

It was a white barrier with several cross marks.

A cute voice sounded from their comms, belonging to a certain ghost. "Strike!"

Boom!

Space was crushed and Gravity spiked as the attacks were unleashed on the Secret Realms.

However…

Hum!

A few silhouettes appeared out of nowhere, blocking their attacks.

They too were clad in black. But the difference was they had a logo of a hooded figure.

The face of the figure was covered in black, only a blood red, and cruel smile could be seen.

Shadow Order.

"Petty tricks!" The man who appeared in front of Enigma scowled. "We just need to secure one Abyssal and you're done."

Enigma felt the pressure of a Level 9 pressure down on her. She didn't back down and stared back at him.

Her gaze narrowed as she gauged the five individuals behind the leading man.

The leading man was the lord of the realm. A mid level 9.

Two men behind him were the vice lords. Two Low level 9.

Finally, the twenty behind them were the deacons. Peak Level 8.

"Enigma, you are still too weak. What can you do other than escape? Do you dare to fight me?" The Realm Lord shamelessly said.

He was sure of defeating Enigma in a fair fight…but when the hell did she ever play by the rules?

Besides, she could always escape. And no one could stop her.

"Hmph! Aren't you ashamed to challenge a Level 8? This old man Frode will take on you level 9 dogs!" A huge aura burst out from the distance and a hunched man in black appeared in front of the Realm Lord.

Zap!

Zap!

His aura was at mid level 9.

A his huge wings of lightning flapped, the old man looked like an angel sent to punish evil.

The Realm Lord flinched and exclaimed. "Y-You! Adventurer Frode, Thunder Might, aren't you dead?"

"How did you know?" Frode asked in equal amazement.

'Didn't you just say?' Enigma silently sighed.

"Whatever! I'm alive and kicking!" Frode said after feeling a chill on his back. He could feel her glare at him.

Even though he was technically stronger than her, he didn't want to piss her off.

"Join us! We are powerful people. We shouldn't waste our lives for the ordinary!" Realm Lord invited with a sincere tone.

Frode simply spat in disgust and said. "I always thought we humans had a sense of shame, but now I know they don't. Wait, you aren't even qualified to be a human. You traitorous bastard!"

The Realm Lord's eyes chilled. The space around him fluctuated madly and he said with a cruel smirk. "Are you sure you want to do this? Abyssals are holding off any reinforcement that could come.

You would get no help, but on the other hand, we will soon have other powerhouse of the Order arrive through cross tunneling, thanks to the Abyssals."

Frode's brows knit together.

So that was the plan. Army would surely block off any suspicious interplanetary travel.

But the Order members would go to Abyss and from there, cross tunnel to the dungeons on Earth.

In the current situation where manpower was limited, there was little they could do.

Besides, the Shadow Order seems to have been preparing for this even before they expected.

The reinforcements could arrive at any moment!

"Haha! How about it? In a minute or two, we'll have our reinforcements. And you will die a cruel death." Realm Lord chuckled arrogantly.

However, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

He didn't lie. Reinforcements could be here any minute.

But if Enigma manages to break open the Secret Realm, then everything would be futile.

They would be completely exposed. With how much the army hated them, even if they were visible, they'd do everything they can to get rid of them.

So these one or two minutes were crucial to him.

He only wished for Frode and Enigma to leave. Of course, he was already planning revenge.

Once the Abyssals erased the mark, he'd ask them if they can help find the Shadow Guardians.

Then…

"Frode, block them off." Enigma curtly said, cutting off his thoughts.

"Yes, Leader." Frode said and a golden lightning flashed.

"Argh! I'll kill you, old bastard!" Realm Lord yelled and clenched his hand.

At the same time, he signaled the two low level 9s to stop Enigma.

He channeled his space power and muttered. "Space Blast."

The space was suddenly compressed and the next moment, it exploded. Like a broken mirror, cracks appeared everywhere.

It would've killed a level 8. Even a high level 8 would've been seriously injured.

Yet…

"Die!" Frode's body was turned into lightning and a huge lightning armor covered his body.

He not only survived the impact, but his lightning spears blocked the two low level 9s from reaching Enigma.

"Go! Stop her!" Realm Lord yelled in a hurry.

"Not a chance." Frode took on the three of them.

Boom!

Creak!

Kacha!

The sky was filled with broken space, and golden lighting, as well as two weaker fire and water swords.

"Guh!" Frode stumbled back, clutching his chest. There was a huge cut on his chest from the space attack.

His right arm was burnt slightly while his left arm was frozen.

Clearly, he found it difficult to take on the three of them. And in fact, he might not survive a few more minutes.

But, he persisted.

"Stop her!"

"Kill me first!"

Boom!

The level 9s fight was fierce and its impact could be felt even from a hundred miles.

At this moment, another battle was taking place.

Here too, a single member of Shadow Guardian fought off multiple members of the Order.

Twenty of them, in fact.

Yet, the result couldn't be more different.

Enigma's sword came down like a death sickle. Her figure blurred in the air and not even the peak Level 8s could take a second strike from her.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

They dropped from the air like fired birds and crashed to the ground.

Enigma wasted no time and raised her sword to strike.

A bright white light flashed and the next moment, a blinding sword strike hit one of the cross marks on the hologram.

Kacha!

Like a broken lock, a huge white barrier appeared out of nowhere.

But it faded in and out of sight, as if it were an illusion.

"No!" Realm Lord screamed and his aura rose, pushing away Frode.

He was about to rush to Enigma when Frode appeared in front of him in his lightning form.

"Argh!" With bloodshot eyes, he attacked Frode with all his strength, and the old man was sent flying, coughing out blood.

Enigma was about to launch a second attack when she sensed two Abyssals trying to sneak in.

"Hmph!" With a snort, the two low level 8 Abyssals were forced to the ground and their eyes turned dull, before they died.

Kacha!

Enigma attacked for the second time.

Kacha!

Third.

Fourth.

She needed to just get one more strike, but…

"Die!"

The Realm Lord appeared in front of her and yelled.

Enigma disappeared and the next moment, the space she was in blasted into pieces.

She appeared at a distance, and saw Frode on the ground, taken care of by the petite girl, Yi.

At the same time, four level 7 Abyssals entered the Secret Realm which was now almost materialized.

"Hahaha! I won! We won! Enigma, your plans are useless." Realm Lord laughed out loud, arrogance and triumph overflowing in his laughter.

Enigma knit her brows and she stopped Frode who was about to get up.

She glanced at a certain direction in the sky before turning to Realm Lord. "No. You lost. They're here."

With those words, Enigma, Yi and Frode disappeared.

The same scene was staged across the other four Secret Realms.

Every location's Secret Lord and Level 9s were blocked by the Level 9 of Shadow Guardians.

Of course, Guardian's level 9s all had to pay price of severe injuries.

On the other hand, unlike Enigma, there were several level 8s in Guardians to take on the Order's Level 8s.

Of course, Guardian's level 8s were outnumbered. Despite that, they managed to land three out of the five required strikes to break open the Secret Realm.

By then, the Abyssals already entered into the Secret Realm and were about to hide it again.

But just like with Enigma, the reinforcements from army arrived.
