1009 Vita's Declaration 2

「Active 2 – Utter Destruction: Send out a super-condensed beam of Destruction Energy that can eliminate any existence from the past and future within your Rank. No cooldown.

Note 1: Casting these skills will result in severe paralysis.

Note 2: These are beams of unparalleled destruction! Anything hit by them WILL CEASE TO EXIST.  」

A single beam of pure Destruction Energy hurtled towards the fellow, but it wasn't aimed at the him now. After all, he was Rank 7 and Draco was a measly Rank 3. How could he make use of the Eyes' effect?

Rather, a small portal was torn in space-time, showing the fellow himself when he was at Rank 3. He was currently kneeling down before a grave, talking to the deceased person softly.

However, his body shook as he sensed instant death, and turned to see the black light speeding towards him as it neared the portal. His face paled as he knew that dodging was a luxury he could not afford anymore.

The him in the present coughed blood as he felt like his fate had been cut and isolated in the river of time. His face changed greatly when he saw the space-time portal leading to his past self, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was Draco's special method.

He roared and stretched a hand out to intercept the blast. Even though it was condensed Destruction Energy, its potency was not enough to completely eliminate the current him in one hit.

It would deal severe damage yes, but not one-shot him. That was a far better outcome than having himself wiped out of the flow of history!

However, how could this attack be evaded or blocked? Unless Draco himself switched it off, it would be impossible! The skill description clearly stated that it was an absolute attack, that was why the penalty was so high.

The Rank 7 fellow's attempts were in vain and the beam squarely hit his past self, causing him to scream and disintegrate into nothingness, wiping out his body, soul and spirit.

The current him only had a second to scream his last words before he disappeared into nothingness as well.

"I AM FILLED WITH REGRET!"

His words caused the other Rank 7 fellows who were watching with horror on their faces to feel endless fear. They felt like they had understood Draco's method and they had to admit, this was truly a good way to kill off any Rank 7.

None of them would be able to escape such a method, and for a moment, their hearts surged with endless regret. If they had known he was capable of such an attack, they would have curried favor and even solicited him to kill their enemies by paying any reasonable amount.

Then the regret turned into anger, then madness. They understood that once they gave Vita Kingdom and Umbra any time to regroup, they would be killed one by one like flies!

No, they had to destroy Umbra and this fellow now, once and for all! Otherwise only their doom awaited!

Even those who had intended to stay neutral had bloodshot eyes which was caused by lingering regret and resolve. They hated that they had not stopped the others, otherwise none of this would have happened.

However, the food had been eaten and someone had to pay the bill.

"Kill! We have no choice!"

"Fight to the death! Fight for a chance at life!"

"He cant kill us all at once! Swarm him!"

The Rank 7 fellows went crazy and rushed forward, aiming to destroy everything before Draco could kill them all. If they could kill him, there was a chance that the item responsible might drop and his threat would disappear.

Despite the threat of so many Rank 7 fellows coming to attack the, the core members glanced at them coldly, engraving the faces of the fellows into their minds.

Draco waved a hand lazily as he turned around and returned to the Aether Palace.

"Fitter, Sublime, get rid of them. Hikari, resurrect everyone and gather them in the Aether Palace's courtyard."

Eva glanced at the Rank 7 fellows lightly before folding her arms and following Draco, her face which she usually displayed proudly became blocked by darkness, whereas Shuangtian hesitated then sighed.

These two thoughtstreams had come to the fore after being locked up for a while, and they wanted to settle down and understand the changes since then, so they returned to rest and relax.

Fitter and Sublime stepped forward with cold expressions. Both were Rank 5 now and had some special skills that were relevant for this situation.

「Luck Boost Potion – Consumable

「Repel – Active skill

The moment she used the skill, a wave erupted from the Aether Palace and seemed to synergize with it. Aetheric Energy was sucked in by the Aether Palace and a huge green Dragon Phantom formed above the highest tower.

「Name: Energy Dragon (Fake) – Rank 7 Dragon God

Level: 300

HP: 500,000,000,000,000,000/500,000,000,000,000,000」

The Dragon coiled around a ledge and then faced the Rank 7 fellows who were rushing over, its eyes glowing with a majestic green light as it roared with power, the shockwaves from the roar blowing against the bodies of the Rank 7 fellows.

Immediately, their faces changed to horror as they were all blown out of Vita Kingdom and sent all the way back to their abodes, regardless of where it was in the world.

Not only that, they were given a prompt by the AI that they could not approach Vita kingdom for the next few hours until the effects of the skill wore off.

However, there was an even bigger problem now that they were repelled…

「System to World Announcement

At this time, Hikari had also burned a lot of Divine Energy to resurrect everyone who died. She became extremely fatigued and was gently carried by Roma and Zaine, heading to the Aether Palace with everyone else who was alive and also those who had just been resurrected.

This did not include, of course, unaffiliated NPCs or players who were either living or visiting Vita Kingdom for the various benefits. When they came back and they realized what happened, they were first filled with fear, then gratitude towards Hikari, then hatred towards the Rank 7 fellows.

Every player in the city had bloodshot eyes as they immediately joined Umbra's faction and rushed to the various shops and outlets to gather materials and weapons to start their part of the business.

As for the NPCs, they couldn't partake in a World Event like this, but that didn't mean there weren't other ways for them to help.

However, at this moment, another shocking announcement was made by the system that made many players who were about to rush to join Vita reconsider their choice.
