Chapter 1649 Chapter 1467: Depleted Mana and Spiritual Power

Observing the oncoming Chaos army, Bahamut's clone couldn't help but wear a smug grin. It was clear that victory was within reach. Breaking through the enemy's defenses was only a matter of time. In just a few moments, his forces would shatter the barrier, allowing Chaos to reign supreme over the Mainland Continent. The game against Alex was as good as won.

But his confidence was shattered in an instant.

Turning abruptly, Bahamut's clone's eyes pierced through the distant fog. Though there was nothing to see, he could sense a golden magical barrier flickering around the Dali Kingdom Capital. It was a sight that filled him with disbelief.

"What's happening? How did they slip past my Chaos army and enter the Capital? Why didn't I notice?" Questions flooded his mind, each more concerning than the last.

"What are they planning? Why are they in the Capital?"

For a moment, he considered retreating. The ambush from behind was beyond his expectations. In a land of Chaos, any Light beings would be under immense pressure, surrounded and slaughtered by Chaos creatures. It was common sense. Yet, somehow, they managed to sneak through unscathed.

But...

Another thought made him hesitate. The battle seemed to be going in his favor. Besides, he had come to realize the unreliability of the Chaos Lords he summoned. They acted on their own accord, disregarding his commands. It was a headache he never anticipated. This new perspective sheds light on the true nature of Chaos.

In this situation, Bahamut's clone doubted whether the Chaos Lords would even heed his commands if he were to send them as reinforcements. They might even abandon the battle altogether. Despite their disobedience, he still needed their strength. They were able to summon countless Chaos creatures into the fray, a feat he couldn't achieve on his own. Although he was influenced by the Chaos he summoned from the Infinity Maze, he was still a "novice" compared to the Chaos Lords. Without them, breaking through the strategist's defensive line would be nearly impossible.

"Well, I guess I have no choice but to press on."

With a snort, Bahamut's clone made his decision. He didn't need to concern himself with what those people were doing in the Capital. It had become a land of Chaos, and any attempts they made would be met with an onslaught of Chaos creatures. Besides, if his intuition was correct, there were three Chaos Lords in the Capital. The number of Light trespassers shouldn't be too significant. And in the face of the overwhelming and boundless Chaos, their numbers would be inconsequential.

In that case, he would let them meet their demise. Dealing with those individuals could wait until after he broke through the defensive line. If they managed to survive until then, that is.

With a sense of ease, Ion lifted his head and looked ahead, giving the order.

"Keep attacking!"

°°°

In a routine swing of his sword, Alex vanquished the Chaos Lord, causing the others to shake their heads and let out sighs of relief. It was undeniable that this particular Chaos Lord posed a formidable challenge, but with the right strategy, victory could be achieved.

"Alright, everyone, prepare yourselves. You know the mission. Your task is to work alongside Lapis in setting up the Plane Destruction Bombs. Stay alert for any signs of Chaos creatures infiltrating our surroundings. Time is of the essence! Bahamut's clone, that foolish creature, could return at any moment. We must act quickly. Do you understand?"

The leader shouted out these instructions, expecting an immediate response from his guild. However, instead of the usual prompt reply, his guild members looked around with a sense of unease, as if preoccupied by something. This puzzled Alex, causing him to furrow his brows in suspicion. While his elite squad was typically laid-back and relaxed, they knew when to take things seriously. So, why were they behaving strangely now?

"What's the matter?"

"Um... Leader? Our mana is replenishing extremely slowly..."

Amidst Alex's confusion, a timid voice from one of the clerics spoke up. As soon as her words were spoken, the others nodded in agreement.

"She's right, Leader. Our spiritual powers are recovering at an incredibly sluggish rate, only one percent per minute."

"How is that possible?"

Alex was startled. Before he could unravel the cause of this issue, he heard Maggie's voice in his head.

"Leader, what have you done? The mana levels of my group are plummeting, and they aren't replenishing fast enough! At this rate, our protective barrier will collapse within an hour!"

'An hour?!'

Hearing Maggie's statement, Alex's heart sank. According to Margareth, setting up a Plane Destruction Bomb should only take half an hour. And now, Maggie was saying that the Order's barrier could only endure for one more hour?

"Lisa, what is happening?"

Soon, he realized that this problem was only affecting the projected elite members. Scarlet and Maggie were Phantom Guardians, essentially his elite guards, so they remained unaffected. Alex quickly turned to face Lisa, who stood silently at his side.

He noticed that Lisa didn't appear well either. The petite young woman had a pale complexion, with sweat rolling down her forehead. When he inquired about the situation, she lifted her head but before she could utter a word, she weakly collapsed into his embrace.

"Lisa, what's wrong? What is happening?!"

Witnessing this scene, Rhode was shocked. Lisa held the pivotal role as the psychic of God's temple. If anything were to happen to her, everything would be in jeopardy.

"..."

Lisa's words trembled out of her mouth as she attempted to respond to Alex's anxious inquiries. Taking a deep breath, she mustered a feeble answer.

"I... I may have exerted too much of my mana and spiritual energy, Master..."

Her stunning azure eyes blinked wearily, devoid of their usual sparkle.

"Right now, I must focus on replenishing my spiritual powers..." she added.

Seeing the dire situation unfold before him, Alex sighed in frustration before turning towards Margareth.

"Margareth, how many bottles of potion did you bring?" he asked.

"I brought... about a thousand," Margareth replied hesitantly.

Alex couldn't help but give her a bewildered look.

"Do you intend to overwhelm Lisa with potions?" he questioned, his tone laced with disbelief.

Realizing her mistake, Margareth quickly shook her head.

"No, of course not. I just... I didn't anticipate this level of exhaustion," she stammered.

Interrupting their conversation, Alex called out to Little Blue and Scarlet, beckoning them to come closer. Little Blue is the nickname of the head scout and also an archer.

"Scarlet, take the potions from Margareth and distribute them to everyone. Urge them to hold on as long as possible. Margareth, start setting up the Plane Destruction Bomb immediately. Little Blue, I need you to lead a team and protect Margareth from any Chaos creatures trying to harass her during the setup. Even though the Dali Kingdom Capital is relatively stable with the Light barrier in place, we can't afford to take any risks. Margareth, focus solely on completing your task. Don't worry about the time. We need a flawless and precise detonation. Everything rests on you now."

"Yes, Sir Alex," Margareth and Scarlet replied simultaneously, acknowledging his orders without hesitation.

With a firm nod, Alex knew that time was of the essence and there was no room for further questioning. Little Blue, Margareth, and Scarlet understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement, ready to face the critical moment ahead.
