Chapter 2902: Chapter 589: Shadow World Rekindled! Nightmare Utterly Defeated!
The Lost Monarch watched the situation, rage surging within.
But it couldn’t do anything, for fighting with Edmund, it was walking on thin ice, daring not to be distracted in the slightest, lest it might perish.
Time passed.
One by one, the Monarchs tore open red and black rifts and started to lead their armies to retreat. The Devouring Sky Demon Lord, who had fought a great battle with Gullwig, was extremely unwilling but had no choice but to turn and run.
This battle was truly unexpected for them.
In a disadvantaged situation, naturally, it was imperative to preserve strength first, or else summoning the forces again would waste considerable time.
Just as the Lost Monarch was retreating, sudden changes occurred.
There appeared shadows emanating a magnificent level-10 aura, as many as ten. The strongest among them was also at the peak of level-10, wearing the Emperor’s crown, draped in a Shadow Cloak that covered the sky, with a resolute face and eyes ablaze with the fire of revenge!
In his hand, he held the head of a beautiful woman.
The Devouring Sky Demon Lord was shocked at the sight:
"You... you killed Lady Yin Tian? Charactus, daring to kill the emissary of our Nightmare World, are you in rebellion, Shadow World?"
Shadow Emperor Charactus!
The strongest in the Shadow World.
The other nine were also Shadow Monarchs. This was the foundation of what was once the mighty Shadow World, not enough to counter the Giant World, but sufficient to alter the course of the current war!
The Shadow Emperor coldly said, "This Lady Yin Tian was a traitor to our Shadow World. So what if I killed her? We have endured enough for so many years. We are not rebelling; we intend to reclaim everything that once belonged to the Shadow World!"
The Devouring Sky Demon Lord angrily replied, "Good, good, very good! You have indeed teamed up with Nora, seeking your own doom! Since that’s the case, there’s no need for the Shadow World to exist; after this battle, our Nightmare World will surely visit!"
"We are ready anytime!"
The Shadow Emperor waved his hand, unleashing nine level-10 auras to block the Nightmare Monarchs’ retreat, determined to leave more of them here.
The scales of war tipped entirely towards Nora’s side.
"Ah..."
With screams resounding, the Silent Monarch was soon annihilated by the joint forces of the Shadow powerhouse and the Eight Formation Map, dissipating into ashes, becoming the first level-10 to fall in this battle.
The other Monarchs exerted all their strength, tore open a breach, and retreated from the place.
"Damn it!"
The Rotten Sovereign was crushed by Owen’s greatsword, surrounded by endless Ashen Power, turning into a writhing giant orb, and subsequently beaten to death.
The Level 10 Mid Stage also fell.
The hysterical roar of the Lost Monarch made Nora Dark Side tremble, and the Four Great Demon Lords did their utmost to repel Nora’s strong fighters.
They retreated quickly, the Monarchs running away one by one.
But under the joint forces of Nora’s strong fighters and Shadow’s strong fighters, the third, fourth, even the fifth and sixth Nightmare Monarchs fell.
In the end, only 20 Nightmare Monarchs escaped back to the Nightmare World.
In one day in the world, six strong Nightmare beings fell, the battle results equaled the depth of the two thousand years’ Nora Blood Battle, estimating that even Pazuzu would wake up laughing if he knew.
When the war subsided, Nora’s Dark Side was already riddled with scars. The ground was covered with the exploded Nightmare Crystals, numbering in the billions.
Nora’s strong fighters stood behind Edmund, looking at the Shadow’s strong fighters, with amazed expressions. Edmund wore a sincere smile and expressed his gratitude:
"To set aside past grievances and come to Nora’s aid was indeed unexpected, thank you! If there was any offense in saving compatriots at the time, I hope everyone will forgive."
The Shadow Emperor said:
"We mainly want to vent our anger; the Nightmare World thought they could intimidate us by sending an emissary, we’ve had enough of such days."
Edmund said:
"In this universe, frailty is the original sin. This is true for individuals and civilizations alike. This is how Nora has come, so we chose to resist, even if it means death, standing up to die is more dignified than dying on one’s knees, isn’t it?"
The Shadow Emperor nodded.
"Our visit is also to negotiate an alliance. With the foundation of our Shadow World, combined with the flourishing super Nora, joining strong forces, we will have more confidence in facing any Giant World."
Edmund said:
"Welcome, welcome."
The Shadow Emperor said:
"However, we are only forming an alliance, offering mutual assistance for now; we do not plan to join the Nora Council at this time, and this must be clear."
Edmund said:
"I understand, the Shadow World has its peculiarities. I have one question: the distance between Nora and the Shadow World is extremely vast, how did you all get here?"
The Shadow Emperor smiled and said:
"Although the universe’s Dark Side was shattered, only one-tenth of the Shadow World remains, over the long years, we have secretly repaired part of the Shadow passage. After we ally, I will reveal these secret paths to the Supreme Council for your use. If our Shadow World encounters a Nightmare invasion, we hope, for the sake of today’s aid and alliance, the Nora Council will lend us aid; I trust the Grand Council Chairman."
Edmund said:
"Good! From now on, we are allies, we either continue together until new worlds are established, or die together in struggles, never betray!"
He extended his hand to shake that of the Shadow Emperor.
"Hope we can live to see new worlds."
Charactus said as such.
Before leaving, Edmund looked at the gradually disappearing shadow strong fighters and asked:
"Aren’t you taking some of these war spoils left by the Nightmares?"
If the Shadow World hadn’t intervened in this battle, leaving even one or two level-10s in Nora would be commendable; being able to slay six, entirely relied on the Shadow World turning the tide!
