Chapter 718 Against Humans And Abyssals
Chapter 718 Against Humans And Abyssals
Ron's spaceship rushed to a ball of purple which was soon revealed as a planetoid.
'This will be the last of Prince Var.'
Varian was about to press the button to move out of the spaceship when it suddenly shook.
Boom!
The entire spaceship grew hot all of a sudden before an explosion occurred at its front and it flipped.
Varian's space sense spread out and noticed that a human was blocking the spaceship.
"Ron, come out and die!" The man growled.
The spaceship fell silent and the man raised his hand to attack. It was then—
"You'll be the one dying, you fucker!" Ron rushed out of the spaceship and dashed toward him.
The fight of hatred resumed.
Varian and the trio realized the situation and without hesitation, they boarded their own spaceships and rushed to the planetoid.
The level 8 was stalling Ron to prevent him from interfering in the planetoid.
That meant, in a few minutes, things would be under control.
…The remaining 8 commanders would die.
"Damn it!"
Even as they reached the atmosphere, it was easy to discern where the fighting was going on.
It was an isolated island on the planetoid.
There were only eight abyssals on it facing three humans.
The abyssals had major injuries and were bleeding heavily while the humans were mostly fine other than some cuts and light exhaustion.
Recognizing the identity of the three humans, the eyes of the abyssals nearly popped out.
Varian was also taken aback by this unexpected situation.
He never expected the last three hunts on his list would be in the same place.
And not just that.
He turned around and saw the trio of Osbert, Vela, and Trak.
'The top 3 Xanders. The top 3 abyssals. On one isolated island without anyone else. Wow. Just wow.'
Varian couldn't stop his lips from twisting up.
"Yo Var, Joshua is my prey!" Osbert's voice sounded from his bracelet and the next moment, the spaceship around the abyssal disappeared.
He flipped in the air and faced the ground. Then, he kicked.
Boom!
Blowing away the clouds, he shot toward the monster prince.
"Axel is my prey." Vela chuckled as she dived down.
"I will kill that space witch." Trak took the last target.
By the time Varian descended, one of the eight commanders died and ten abyssals, now headed by the trio were fighting the three Xanders.
Despite being stacked one against three, the Xanders weren't losing out!
As he landed on the side of the abyssals, the gazes of Joshua, Axel, and Kai landed on him.
Even though they showed different expressions, they all knew that him entering the battlefield would completely break the balance they were barely holding.
'If I join their fight, they can quickly defeat the Xanders.' Varian saw the welcoming smile on the abyssal trio.
"Var! Now!"
"Take down the space witch first!"
"Let's do it!"
Their voices were filled with enthusiasm and their words contained conviction.
'They are confident, no, they are certain of their victory.' Joshua Xander narrowed his eyes as he dodged one attack after another.
Due to the battle, the entire island was shaking, but he could see the calm eyes of the abyssal clearly.
They were glancing at him like he was prey.
'I have a bad feeling about this.' Joshua switched to defensive mode to prepare himself in case the abyssal attacked.
Kai Xander teleported far away to the ocean and shifted her fight there. Following her, three abyssals left.
Axel Xander was the only one who maintained his offensive. He wasn't a person who compromised.
But even after a minute passed, the abyssal didn't attack.
"Var? What are you waiting for?"
"Attack!"
"At this rate, we'll lose the commanders!"
The trio shouted again, confusion and urgency apparent in their voice.
In response to their words, Varian asked.
'Boo, is it done?'
'Yes, master. No one can observe the battle now. Even the spaceship cameras are blocked out.'
'Their Comms?'
'Destroyed.'
'Good.'
Varian finally moved.
With a kick to the ground, his figure blurred and he appeared beside the seven abyssals who were fighting against Joshua and Axel.
Seeing his appearance, Joshua immediately put on a defensive stance and Axel prepared himself to attack him.
When Varian raised his hand and clenched his fist, Axel was about to swing his sword.
But instead of a punch, a space ripple spread out.
"Huh?"
"W-What?"
"My bracelet!"
The abyssals suddenly discovered that their bracelets had cracked apart.
"Var! What the fuck are you doing?"
"Did you just realize what you did?"
"This is a big crime!"
Looking at the dumbfounded and furious eyes, Varian let out a small breath and his figure blurred.
Space rippled again and a spear of lightning pierced through an abyss commander.
"What?!"
Another commander clutched his head before his body was sliced into two by a space blade.
"W-Who?"
"Var?!"
Lightning. Space. Water. Body. Mind.
It all happened in mere seconds.
When the abyssal trio reacted and tried to save the commanders, the head of the last commander entered the ocean.
Prince Var was standing in front of the dumbfounded abyssal trio and Xander trio.
"W-Why?" The abyssals asked with hatred and grief.
"Why?" The Xanders asked in confusion.
The abyssal's figure twisted before it shrunk into the appearance of a handsome young man.
Pitch black hair.
Deep eyes filled with a calmness that didn't match his age.
A cold smile that sent chills down their smile.
"Y-You…!" Osbert flinched and took a step back.
"F-Fuck!" Vela's face twisted with hatred.
"Bastard!" Trak's eyes were bloodshot.
Varian didn't respond to their anger. Instead, he turned to the Xanders.
Ironically, except for Joshua, Kai and Axel were looking at him with equal hatred as the abyssals.
"You son of a bitch!" Kai cursed.
"You are the one who killed our brothers and sisters, right?" Axel asked, but he seemed to have an answer already.
"Ah!"
It was only then that the abyssal trio understood.
Everything fell into place.
A sudden genius becoming an abyss prince.
Promoted to S+ hunting team right away.
Only hunting Xander members.
If Varian had a disguise treasure that could mask him even from the archduke, it'd all make sense.
"What do you want?" Joshua asked in a heavy tone.
"Haha." Varian laughed but a killing intent filled the air.
"You are a human too. Why are you fighting against your human race?" Joshua frowned and tried to persuade him.
"I am against you Xanders." Varian raised his sword.
"How about we resolve this through talks? Once the battle begins, it'll be hard to ensure accidents won't happen." Joshua didn't know how strong Varian actually was.
But regardless, he didn't want to kill Varian. His family had grudges against him sure, but he didn't.
Besides, Joshua was against killing a human genius. But if the same genius tried to kill him, he couldn't help but fight back.
So, he tried his best.
But.
"Talks? Let our strength do the talking." Varian's aura exploded out.
The power of seven divine paths filled the island and sent chills down the spine of every genius, abyssal or human.
'No one can win against him.' The two teams realized it instinctively.
From his aura, they realized he wasn't at the peak of level 7. Far from it. Every single one of them had an individual path on the verge of reaching level 8.
Yet, when compared to the heaviness that his paths emitted when combined, they felt weak.
'Seven paths? How can he have seven paths?' Osbert couldn't understand. Nor could Joshua.
But what the strongest of their teams understood clearly was that if they had to survive, they needed to work together.
It was shameful and humiliating, but they had no other choice.
For the first time in history, to face an overwhelming foe, Abyssals and humans joined hands.
