Death… and me

Chapter 1552 They have finished

　　On Havek’s side, he naturally also obtained information about the purging organization, and so did his elders. “You guys don’t need to worry about it. This thing has nothing to do with us, so we’ll stay outside of this mess. Don’t forget, we have our own way of doing it. Of course, if you want to risk it and join the chaos at the purging organization’s tower, by all means, help yourself. I won’t stop anyone.” He already knew about the formation there thanks to Rean, so he was certain it was not related to his sect.

Eventually, tensions escalated when Grand Elder Liman, the one who let out the truth, appeared at the purging organization’s tower. He knew that because of his actions, he wouldn’t have a chance to aboard the formation anymore, so he had to do something. That’s why he immediately chose to abandon the purging organization and ally with the other powers of the Upside Down World.

”Levid, I was part of the project, so there’s no need for you and the others to keep saying the project doesn’t exist,” Liman said. Soon after, he looked at everyone else and yelled, “The formation they’re trying to use to escape will only work once, and it cannot hold more than three hundred people or demon beasts in humanoid form. They’re all intending to bring their own families and other relatives with them, so there’ll be no space for the rest of you. If any of you want to have a shot at escaping, juse like me, then we better act right now.”

Levid was fuming in anger at the sight of Liman, cursing, “You piece of shit! Is that how you treat the organization after so many years?”

Liman didn’t care anymore. He had already made up his mind that if he didn’t escape the Upside Down World, he would at least die trying. Everything else was of little concern compared to that. “You can save your words, Levid. I will escape this place by any means necessary.”

With those words, the rest of the people and demon beasts were convinced that the purging organization really had come up with a method to try and escape. It was obvious that it was the formation Liman talked about.

”Levid, let’s us in. We can talk about who’ll use it or not.”

”That’s right. Don’t forget that the purging organization is sustained by all the powers of the Upside Down World.”

”If we don’t give you support, the organization won’t be of any use anymore.”

”What about the blueprints of the formation? We also want it.”

”You better bring us to the formation right now before we take matters into our own hands.”

Levid and the other elders narrowed their eyes after that. At the moment, they still had a small advantage in numbers and strength. However, that was quickly disappearing. That was also the reason why everyone began to get fierce. Only Liman wouldn’t be enough to trigger it.

Levid then sighed before he looked at one of his elders behind, asking, ‘Is the formation ready?’

’Yes, we can activate it at any time. However, it won’t hold them back for more than an hour or so. We simply don’t have enough Divine Stones to keep the formation running,’ the elder explained.

Levid nodded in response. ‘That will have to be enough. Activate it!’

Suddenly, the white tower began to shine with a bright light, forcing quite a few of the beings outside to close their eyes. However, it didn’t last long before everyone could see what was happening again. 

”Not good!” Liman obviously knew what was happening. “They’re activating the protection formation of the tower. Quick, to the tower!”

*Boom!*

Just as everyone was about to follow Liman’s orders, several attacks began to rain down on everyone. Levid and the other elders of the purging organization used the tower’s light to launch an assault. Of course, many of the guys there weren’t weaker than Levid, so many of them were able to react in time and jump away from the area of effect.

*Ahhhh!*

However, there were also those who weren’t as strong and were caught by Levid’s group moves. Several bodies were sent flying, destroyed, incinerated, frozen, etc… It was obvious that no small amount of different types of attacks was used by Levid’s group.

Of course, the chaos didn’t last long either. Liman immediately took the lead of the elders as soon as he saw Levid’s group attack. “Everyone, with me! Don’t hold back!” Sure enough, all the cultivators and demon beasts launched themselves into the battle… or so they intended to.

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…*

Suddenly, they all felt like they were hit by a wall as their bodies were forced back. At their level, it couldn’t even be considered damage. Nevertheless, it was still a fact that they couldn’t move forward.

”Fuck!”

”Look! The protection formation!”

”We’re too late!”

Indeed. Levid’s group wasn’t really looking for a battle. Instead, they used that first attack to give the protection formation enough time to activate. Right after that, they retreated into the tower once more.

Seeing that, Liman immediately changed his plans, saying, “This is the protection formation of the tower. It covers its entirety, so there’s no way around it. However, it needs a lot of Divine Energy to be kept working due to its size. Everyone, attack! I can guarantee that they don’t have enough Divine Stones to keep it up for long!”

”Alright!” No one complained as they began to launch their own skills all over the tower’s formation. 

Inside, Levid looked at everyone and said, “Let’s go back to the underground area. We need to hasten Vaz’s group, or we’ll be done for.”

*Zush, zush, zush…*

Not long after, Levid’s group began to appear in the teleport formation underground. Clinbay, obviously, didn’t find it surprising at all. “Seems like things have already gone south, huh?”

Levid nodded. “Yes. Liman rallied everyone, so the powers gathered faster than we predicted. We were forced to activate the tower’s protection formation.”

Clinbay didn’t mind. “It’s fine. That’s what the formation was for. Besides…” Clinbay then looked at Vaz’s group and said, “They’re already done.”
