Chapter 998 Trap
The Red Dragon circled above the clearing of the Kulik Clan, which was the Clan established by one of the three Lords of the Untamed Jungle, who went against Michael and his people. The Red Dragon roared at the top of her lungs, but she didn't attack yet. She watched the clan members calmly, studied them intently, and waited for the moment. Some members of the Kulik Clan tried attacking her, but none of them was strong enough to reach her with their projectiles. The Divine Lifeforms didn't visit the border settlement yet and probably wouldn't come here anytime soon. Therefore, nobody should be strong enough to harm her.
Even if the Divine Lifeform appeared, not all of them could travel smoothly through the air. Some races weren't made to be flying around. The Kulik, a race that seemed to be made of high-density metal - living metal – was one of such races. They might be able to fly once they ascend to Divine Lifeforms, but they would be slower than the rest, and their energy would be drained much faster than others. After all, it required more energy to carry a heavier body through the sky.
The Red Dragon considered unleashing a fury of flames to burn the Kulik Clan's border settlement to a cinder, but that wasn't necessary. She led the Minor Typhoon Rocs across the battlefield and showed the Silverfangs, Humans, and Forest Elves riding on her back what awaited them. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rebecca and the others had already inspected the map connected to the Untamed Jungle and were aware of the location of every single enemy living above the root network of the Primordial Tree spirit. The root network spanned all across the Untamed Jungle and expanded even further. No one restrained the Primordial Tree Spirit's growth underground, after all.
"I don't think this will be a problem. We can easily spot and perceive the locations of their spatial distortion devices and can destroy them. The only issue would be the Divine Lifeforms. The Divine Beasts and Azure Quetzalcoatl have to fight in different locations simultaneously. That seems fine at first glance, but one of the Divine Lifeforms has a spatial-type Soultrait. As everyone should know, these types of Soultrait Symbols are a pain in the ass." Rebecca mumbled to the others.
"What do you suggest? I think we can bombard the bases from above with the Rocs and the Red Dragon, destroy the spatial distortion devices, and teleport our allies inside the settlement with the help of the Golden Stinger Wasps or the Golden Queen Bee. Once the High Beasts Hordes, Sun Demos and his subordinates, and the other forces invaded their settlements, only the Divine Lifeform capable of teleporting became a problem. But that guy is something we can handle fairly easily as well. Since others have been using spatial distortion devices against us, we can do the same." Tiara asked, to which Rebecca responded with a nod.
"I think that's valid. But it might be easier if we kill the Divine Lifeforms first. That is not going to be easy, but it certainly won't be as difficult to pull off once the first few steps have been completed."
"How do you want to kill the Divine Lifeforms? I don't think they'll leave their territories so easily. Furthermore, only the Divine Beasts and Azure Quetzalcoatl are as strong or stronger as their Divine Lifeforms. To be fair, we do not even know how strong their Divine Lifeforms are. They're weaker than the Azure Quetzalcoatl, otherwise, they would have had an easy time against the Dragys Lordess even if Michael hadn't intervened, but that's all we know."
"Actually, we do know a little bit more. Our Scouts saw some fights of the Divine Lifeforms. They might not have gone all out, but we stored the Scouts' memories in a memory crystal, and I watched them with my Perfect Analyzation. It is safe to say that only one of the three Divine Lifeforms is in trouble. The others can be defeated by the stronger Super Awakened. I think you and your brother could deal with the weaker Divine Lifeforms while the Azure Quetzalcoatl has to fight the other one." Tiara groaned when her brother was mentioned, but she didn't throw a fit like usual. This was a lot more serious than her family feud. Of course, the family feud was far from simple…and far from over, however, Tiara and Caesus could put aside their differences when it came to protecting the Untamed Jungle and Michael's legacy. They owed Michael too much to disappoint him by quarreling in times of danger.
"We can use Pesolt's Astral Space Cage for the fight," Tiara nodded slowly. A plan was forming in their minds, and it wasn't even 24 hours after their thorough research and planning that they set the plan into motion.
They destroyed all spatial distortion devices in the border settlements using overcharged elemental crystals, mythical flames, massive tycoons, and other means while intentionally ignoring the main settlements of the three Lords. The High Beasts, Sun Demos, and more than a hundred thousand jungle monsters and Elementals were teleported inside the border settlements to wreak havoc. They tore everything apart and moved quickly through the settlements, destroying everything in their path. At first, it looked like the Divine Lifeforms wouldn't move, but when the Divine Beasts, followed by their strongest High Beast underlings, attacked one of the border settlements, they jumped into action. The Divine Lifeform with a spatial-type Soultrait teleported himself and the allied Divine Lifeforms to the settlement the Divine Beasts attacked.
However, instead of attacking as three Divine Lifeforms of the Untamed Jungle, the Divine Lifeforms of the Fae Union had gathered their forces to block all attacks simultaneously. They appeared together in the border settlement, ready to overwhelm the Divine Beasts with their numerical advantage. The Divine Beasts weren't weak, but they were not strong enough to fight against five Divine Awakened. Fortunately, they didn't have to do that. The Divine Beasts roared and attack head-on alongside their subordinates and they were just about to collide when the scenery around them changed drastically. The underlings of the Divine Beasts were replaced by Golden Stinger Wasps, who switched locations again without delay. Tiara, Caesus, and Pesolt replaced the Golden Stinger Wasps, a young Forest Elf who'd just ascended to a Higher Lifeform. He wasn't strong, but his main Soultrait was strong. Michael had enhanced it a while ago, thinking the Soultrait Symbol was worth being nurtured ot the peak.
A massive serpent, the Azure Quetzalcoatl, replaced a fourth Golden Stinger Wasp. It appeared and roared aloud, taking the five Divine Lifeforms by surprise. The Kulik with the spatial-type Soultrait was just about to change their plans and disappear with his allies when he realized something. A new spatial distortion device had been installed and activated right after the Azure Quetzalcoatl appeared. He couldn't use his Soultrait anymore and was forced to either fight the Divine Beasts, the two Silverfangs, and the Azure Quetzalcoatl with his allies or to turn around and flee.
The latter would inflict tremendous harm, but they would all survive. Their losses would be tremendous, but nobody expected their border settlements to survive either way. Not after falling victim to a trap like this.
Two of the five Divine Lifeforms turned to escape using their Soultraits. They were confident in their capabilities.
Unfortunately, no member of the Fae Union expected their leaders to disappear.
They were pulled into a different space where Tiara, Caesus, the Divine Beasts and the Azure Quetzalcoatl appeared as well.
The Cage Battle of life and death was about to begin.
