Chapter 1108: Eternal Chaos Legion, The Phantom Fox Appears
"How are you going to do that?" Orion asked, curious. He wanted to know how Aurora planned to observe what was happening within the Runaway city, given that her Vylkr constructs had trapped it so thoroughly that even sunlight couldn't penetrate.
With a widening smile, Aurora shifted her sceptre to her other hand and gently placed her free hand on Orion's shoulder. A soft glow radiated from her hand, infiltrating into Orion's pores.
Orion's vision spun at that instant, and the scene before him distorted. A bright light flashed before his eyes, forcing him to snap them shut.
"Open your eyes, husband," Aurora's charming voice echoed in his ears.
When Orion opened his eyes, he was taken aback by the scene. The view before him was of the tall, metallic structures of the ensnared Sleeping Fox Runaway City, racing from one location to another. Initially, he thought it was his own vision, but the collapsing structures, the two inky black hands, and the tendrils beneath him made it clear it wasn't.
"Since they are my creations, I can share my senses with them," Aurora explained. "I can sense the intertwined Divine energies in the air-likely where the enemy and Ilse clashed." As soon as she finished, the scene moved even faster.
Orion watched as they dove deep underground, swiftly heading toward the forge palace. Swarms of winged Vylkr constructs accompanied them, tearing down the surrounding structures as they advanced.
"Is this the place?" Aurora asked, her voice resonating in his ears.
They arrived before the familiar thick gates of the forge palace.
"Yes," Orion replied firmly.
"Okay, I'll handle the rest," Aurora said. Immediately, several winged Vylkr constructs crashed against the door, prying it open and devouring it.
As the door widened, a bright light from within condensed into a beam, instantly striking the constructs and vaporizing them. Even those nearby were reduced to nothing.
Orion was blinded momentarily but quickly regained his vision.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Vylkr constructs outside the entrance filled the space once more. This time, they tore down the door and made their way inside. However, another beam shot forward before they could advance, vaporizing them again.
This time, the beam didn't stop, extending into the distance.
Yet, the relentless Vylkr constructs continued their advance. The collapsing surroundings briefly held the beam back before it tore through them. Soon, even a hole was ripped through the surface of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.
Though the beam overpowered the Eternal Chaos Legion due to the vast difference in strength, it was clear that if this continued, the Sleeping Fox Runaway City would surely fall, leaving the unknown woman defenceless.
Aurora removed her hand from Orion's shoulder, allowing him to regain his vision as the chaos intensified.
Orion looked around and saw that the walls raised around the Sleeping Fox Runaway City had been crushed and were nowhere to be seen except for the debris of giant stone slabs scattered in the surrounding area. The Vylkr vines outside swarmed in, joining the onslaught.
Apart from Aurora's power, the Vylkr vines were also under her control, as they were formed from Vylkr energy. So, even without using her full power, she could command the Vylkr vines to incapacitate the enemy.
Orion gained further insight into why beings like the Vylkrspawns were so feared. The only way to eliminate them was to pull them into the mirror realm, away from the excess Vylkr vines, and deliver a decisive blow. It was a nightmare for anyone not powerful enough to defeat them.
Aurora wasn't a Vylkrspawn, but she had a similar ability to control the Vylkr vines, which, combined with her already formidable abilities, made her a terrifying opponent.
A smile emerged on Orion's lips, satisfied with Aurora's display of strength.
Soon, metal bending and grinding ceased, and a bright light spilt through the encased Vylkr constructs.
"Let's go!" Aurora's urgent voice echoed in the air as she took Orion into her arms, spread her broad wings, and soared swiftly into the distance, covering several miles in seconds.
Orion was about to ask what was happening when he saw an enormous, bright, phantom fox - almost identical life-like to the Sleeping Fox Runaway City-tear a hole through the ensnaring Vylkr constructs and move past their previous position, ascending into the sky. It roared, causing the surrounding atmosphere to tremble. The moment it reached the heavens-
BOOM!!
It exploded. The clouds were overturned, splitting apart to reveal the blue sky and bright sunrays raining down the earth. Terrible shockwaves spread, collapsing nearby mountains and reaching Aurora's and Orion's positions within seconds.
Aurora swiftly wrapped her arms and broad wings around Orion, pouring out all her dual Vylkr and divine energy to form a powerful shield around them. The shockwave collided with the barrier with a thunderous 'BANG!!' They were knocked backwards, and the shield trembled violently before stabilizing.
Fortunately, it remained unbroken.
After a few seconds, the inky black and white shield began disintegrating, dispersing into the air. Aurora unfurled her wings, freeing Orion, and stretched them behind her.
Orion took a sharp breath at the sight before him. The entire land, stretching for hundreds of miles, had been flattened, including the mountains. Dust filled the air, obscuring parts of the landscape, but Orion was sure the explosion had transformed the area into a vast, empty plain. He had never imagined that the Phantom Fox emerging from the Sleeping Fox Runaway City would carry such terrifying destructive power.
Several miles away, the Vylkr winged constructs that had ensnared the Sleeping Fox Runaway City had also been pulverized. The Runaway City lay on the ground, its structure broken and scattered like metal scraps. It no longer resembled the Sleeping Fox Runaway City it once was. Orion turned to look at Aurora, who had protected him and borne the full brunt of the attack with her abilities.
"Are you okay?" Orion asked, his voice tinged with concern.
"I'm fine. I was just caught off guard," Aurora responded with a nod. If it had been before, she was sure she would have barely escaped with severe injuries. However, as a newly ascended goddess, it only cost her some energy for protection.
"It seems the enemy is somehow connected to the Sleeping Fox Runaway City for her to be capable of releasing such a destructive attack through it. Unfortunately, we have to kill her to prevent more trouble, or else we might have uncovered a clue regarding the origins of the Runaway Cities," Aurora added, her lips forming a frown.
"You're right. Letting such an enemy live will do more harm than good," Orion nodded. "Are you still able to continue?" He asked.
Aurora nodded, her expression serious.
A wave of anticipation and excitement coursed through her body, allowing her to experience the thrill of battle she had only seen in the Pixies and the Warriors.
It was intoxicating!
They focused their gazes on the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, struggling to rise. Unfortunately, all four legs were bent and twisted at horrendous angles, incapacitating it. Like an injured
beast, it began to crawl forward.
"You're not getting away," Aurora said, activating her divine skill.
Eternal Chaos Legion!
Countless Vylkr winged constructs emerged from the tip of her sceptre, transforming into inky black waves that covered the sky like a dark curtain, dimming the light below as they advanced toward the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.
They covered the considerable distance within seconds and crashed against the city, ensnaring it again. As a bright ray of light began to spill from the sleeping Fox Runaway City again, Aurora appeared before Orion, and an inky black and white shield materialized before
them.
This time, she was prepared to counter any attack from the unknown enemy. Soon, a phantom fox emerged from the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, roaring into the sky and causing the
atmosphere to tremble.
With a bright flash of light, it exploded.
...
After thirty minutes of repeatedly attacking the Sleeping Fox Runaway City-its head severed
and thrown a great distance away, its body and limbs broken and torn-it finally stopped
moving, looking even worse than before.
"It's over," Aurora said, exhaling lightly. Considering it was her first battle, she had held nothing back, but the fact that they had managed to resist her relentless attacks for thirty
minutes astonished her.
The enemy and the city's durability and vitality were extraordinary.
Nonetheless, Aurora realized that despite her terrifying abilities, she needed to grow
stronger. This meant taking her training with her mother seriously to defend Paradise and its territories from future enemies.
"Is the enemy still alive?" he asked, his tone serious. He wouldn't be surprised if the enemy were still hanging on by a thread from the battle he had witnessed.
Orion swept his eyes across the plain, which had compressed by tens of meters into the ground, forming a massive, bottomless pit stretching for hundreds of miles. He was confident it would slowly transform into a lake when the next turbulent rainy season arrived.
