Chapter 664: War in Subterranean World: Chaos in the Three Nations

Although the Fourth Set only had two Grains in this mission, their numbers were enough to encircle the whole area. They brought the entirety of the squads in their Grains unlike the Third Set had many squads away from the mission. Even some of the Grain Leaders were absent.

Their numbers were equal to four Grains of the Third Set that participated in this mission.

Smokes and flames rose within the cities of the three nations. It’s been a while since the war started and thousands of people had already died.

Most of the warriors had a blank look on their faces as they fought the enemies. After witnessing thousands of deaths before their eyes, their heart became as firm as iron. They simply fight and fight the enemies that they saw while following the orders of their superiors.

It was their first time participating in a battle with this many deaths.

Only those warriors that were dispatched to the battlefield against the demon army could stay calm in this situation. After all, the situation there was several times worse than the situation here. Even veteran warriors would have to prepare if they were to be dispatched to the demon battlefield.

An hour had passed since the war erupted.

A lot of civilians managed to leave the three nations. The warriors of the Fourth Set didn’t kill them. Instead, they helped them build a camp for them to stay and rest. Now, the outskirts have been covered with thousands of tents.

The civilians were shaking as the events in the three nations terrified them. Some of them were starting blankly and some were crying in the corner of their tents. There were patches of vomit on the grasses as most of them couldn’t stomach the deaths of the people.

They were just living a peaceful life and yet this happened. No one among them expected that they will experience something like this.

Even though a lot of time had passed, the humongous objects with metallic eight limbs had shown no signs of moving. It stayed still the entire time and the barrier around the territory only kept getting stronger. But it was still harmless so people could still leave the three nations.

Souta approached the warriors of the Fourth Set while looking at the city.

“How long do you think it would take before this war ends?” He asked calmly.

One of the warriors glanced at him before he replied, “Until afternoon? I don’t know… The battle will end if the Chief Captain defeated the enemy’s leader. No, it will probably not end easily like that.”

It was only his estimation of the current progress of the war. It would take at least a few hours before the two sides exhausted their forces. Defeating the leader of the enemies probably wouldn’t end this battle until they annihilated the enemies. As far as they’ve seen, the enemies would fight until the end considering the enemies they’ve fought before coming to this place.

The battle in Mirror Lake, Aekr Republic, and the entrance showed that the forces of the Red Matter Association had a determination to die. Buying time even if they sacrifice their lives showed a great will. It also means that forcing the enemies to surrender would not be easy.

“I see…” Souta nodded at the warrior. He waved his hand and said, “I’m going now. I think I could help some of our warriors.”

The warriors looked at him as he walked toward the three nations. He had finished placing some of his plans so it was time for him to join the battle.

As he was approaching the three nations, Souta observed the huge piece of land supported by eight metallic limbs above.

“It’s my first time seeing this kind of thing… It’s kind of similar to Guardian Fortress.”

Yeah, this thing looked like the Guardian Fortress. The only difference was that those eight metallic limbs and the sheer size of this fortress. This thing was dozens of times larger than the Guardian Fortress.

Souta stopped when he passed through the walls and entered the city. The vibrations in the air were strong but he could hardly feel the mana fluctuations of the experts.

The mana coming from the Aranhgard was overshadowing everyone. They could even feel the fluctuations at the entrance of this land when they were fighting the golems.

“The situation here is much worse than I imagined.”

He muttered in a low voice. He was gone for an hour so he wasn’t updated on the current situation. Hearing it from the warriors outside was different from seeing the situation with his own eyes.

“So for the second step of my plan… To complete my quest.”

Souta walked on the streets as seven shadows rose beside him. The shadows jumped in different directions and each one had a black sphere in its hand. The [Shadow Ball] spell was for insurance so that he could teleport away in case a dangerous situation occurred.

When the shadows were gone, Souta jumped onto one of the buildings. He observed his surroundings and saw dozens of battles near his area. Most of them were fighting in groups.

Swoosh!

He continued to jump from one building to another. He swiftly run in the direction where he could sense power mana fluctuations.

Hundreds of people were fighting in the surroundings and he would kill experts from Red Matter Association if he saw them. Killing experts below Shackled Realm was easy for his current power level. He didn’t even need to use his skills.

In just half an hour, more than fifty experts of Red Matter died in his hands. He even killed some of the rebels that were fighting the governments of the three nations.

Swoosh!

Souta stood at one of the tallest buildings around. He closed his eyes and learned that his shadows haven’t found something yet. Well, this place was as huge as Aekr Republic and there were three of it so finding something here was several times harder.

“Even though I killed a lot of people on my way here the enemies still had a lot of men.”

He said with a heavy sigh. The corpses of children and old men were scattered around. He could remember the war against the Great Astley Empire.

“I need to finish this as soon as possible…”

He muttered as he tightly clenched his fists. He could visibly hear the voices of the souls around him. When he harvests the souls in the Aekr Republic, he almost loses himself from the various emotion he felt from the souls.

It’s brewing in his heart. That’s why he swore to destroy the Red Matter Association no matter what.

He widened his perception as he observed the entire place around him.

Ohm!

The number of people he could sense within the range of his [Crimson Perception] was nearly twenty thousand.

Suddenly, he turned his head to a small house twenty meters away from him. He could sense that there were three people inside it. Even though they have a little mana, they wouldn’t be able to escape his perception.

He jumped down and slowly approached the house. Inside the house, he saw three children shivering inside the cabinet.

Two girls and one boy. The cabinet was quite large as the three of them fitted inside it.

The oldest one was a girl that looked like 7-9 years old. She was hugging her two siblings with tears in her eyes when Souta opened the cabinet.

The girl glared at him as she hugged her two siblings tighter. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

“As I expected…”

Souta already expected that the three living beings that he sensed were civilians. He could see that this child was afraid of him as her knees and arms were shaking.

“Are they your siblings?”

He asked but the little girl didn’t answer his question.

Oh, he rubbed his chin as something came to his mind. He forgot that he just killed a bunch of people so the stench of blood around him was thick. The bloodlust that he was subconsciously emitting was too much for them.

Souta took a deep breath to calm his nerves. The bloodlust was still around him but it wasn’t as strong as before.

The little girl noticed it but she was still afraid of him. She wanted to escape with her siblings but she knew that she couldn’t do it. This man will probably kill them.

Souta didn’t know what to say. The little girl didn’t say anything and the two children in her arms were shivering. He looked around the room and noticed two bodies on the floor.

“Oh?” He raised his eyebrows. “Is this your parents?”

The little girl flinched as her eyes grew watery. Her face was slowly turning pale as she bit her lip. She was trying to hold her tears.

The two children in her arms whimpered.

From her reaction, Souta knew that he was right. These two bodies were their parents’ corpses.

“Okay, I will not harm you. I will get you out of this place. Don’t worry, I guarantee your safety.”

Souta squatted and looked at the little girl in the eyes.
