Chapter 458 - Pluto Infiltration [5]: Leap Of Faith - Divine Path System

A few thousand miles away from Pluto, space shook violently as a huge golden net twisted into various shapes and continued changing directions at breakneck speed.

From time to time, it would shoot out lightning spears, arrows, and even concentrated packs of lightning mana which would eventually explode.

Each of these attacks was stronger than what any peak level 9 could make—they could break down a small asteroid.

If these attacks were focused on earth, a complete city spanning tens of thousands of miles would be destroyed.

And facing these lethal attacks, Bali was slowly slipping into a hard time.

In absolute terms, it was only forty-five seconds. But they already exchanged tens of thousands of attacks.

"Give up! You are gonna be tired out." Rivak grinned and waved his hand. The Abyssals behind him channeled their lightning mana and a lightning phoenix materialized.

"This shit again?" Bali cursed under his breath.

Screeech!

The elemental bird flapped its wings and in the blink of an eye, was a few meters away from him.

Bali teleported away, but the moment he appeared, a lightning arrow was already waiting for him.

"I know this." Bali raised his hand which completely turned into a flame. His arm acted as a shield and clashed with the arrow.

At the same time, he channeled his space power and locked his space sense on an abyssal.

In the formation, that abyssal was the weakest link. He was also in the worst position to be defended. So, he exploded the space around that abyssal.

Boom!

Gaah!

Sounds of space cracking and bones breaking resounded simultaneously.

Bali's body shook fiercely as the momentum behind the arrow fractured his arm and stirred up his aura.

At the same time, the space explosion, despite being suppressed at the last moment, still did a number on the abyssal.

Now, the abyssal forcibly maintained his elementalized form so that the huge cavity in his chest wouldn't kill.

But even he knew that he wouldn't be able to live for long. Even elementalization had its limits.

"Kill him before he can break the formation!" Rivak yelled and the abyssals started raining arrows on him.

Whoosh!

"Haa~ Haa~" Bali teleported deftly and dodged the attacks with minimal cost. While he did, he noticed his elementalized fire arm slowly heal his fractured bone, but he knew this battle would be fought without it.

It's not that he wanted to sacrifice his arm when he could simply make a shield.

If it was any peak level 9 he was facing, that was the best choice.

But here, it'd have been a terrible one. The lighting arrow was too strong that it'd break his shield apart easily.

So, he used his arm—the stronger shield to block the attack.

The only silver lining was that he wasn't going to fight in close combat here.

Screech!

The lightning phoenix shot at him with a dazzling speed and Bali sighed.

"Ah shit, here we go again."

*** *** ***

A few hundred miles away from Bali, space still fluctuated, lightning attacks still flew across space and bombarded everything in their way.

But it was on a lower scale. The level 8s scale.

Kacha!

Shuaa!

A sword broke through the lightning shields at a ridiculous speed and beheaded an abyssal.

At the same time, a lightning spear pierced through Enigma's shoulder, causing her to be thrown off.

Enigma clutched the spear and pulled it out, causing blood to gush out. But her eyes didn't even quiver.

On her black dress, there were six such injuries and on the abyssals side, there were six fewer living.

"Kill!" Enigma's cold voice reverberated like the decree of death as she bravely or perhaps madly marched against dozens and dozens of abyssals.

If this continued…she'd die.

*** *** ***

Boom!

The sky above Pluto seemed to fall down as huge cracks began to appear. It was as if someone painted those dark violet lines in the sky to appear like a broken mirror.

But Varian knew they were the results of Blue Flash-Dorak's battle. And he also knew that he didn't have much time.

So, through ghost ship, he quickly reached the 'facility'.

The grey building's entrance now had a big hole in it, giving him the view of the sleek design inside.

As the ghost ship was about to enter, Boo suddenly yelled. "Master, master! Boo is suppressed!"

"What?" Varian turned to Boo with a solemn and urgent expression.

"There are…special restrictions inside, Boo can't work inside. If Boo enters, it'll be confined." Boo said with a scared expression.

"Since when did abyssals get such treasures?" Varian's brows knit together into a deep brown.

"Master, ghost ship is a precious spaceship of Boo's previous civilization. Abyssals were once able to fight that civilization.

The only reason such treasures weren't used was because Abyssals fell from grace and are incredibly weak compared to their peak." Boo said.

Then looking at Varian's anxious face, it continued. "And these restrictions aren't the strongest ones. But Boo isn't at its strongest either, so it can't be helped.

And these treasures were most likely shifted with the 'thing' without intending. So, Boo doesn't think they'll have more such treasures."

Even though Boo said so, Varian felt his heart race in anxiety. He forcibly calmed himself and narrowed his eyes.

This was totally unexpected.

The original plan was to enter the building and just steal the thing from the ghost ship.

Varian looked at the huge hole again and looked around. The entire area was now in chaos.

The abyssals still haven't sent anyone here, but they were already on the way.

He could enter the building and get the 'thing'. But if the abyssals came before he could escape, it'd be a problem.

It was a real-life risk.

Even now, he could take Boo and escape with everyone else. And perhaps, plan better for the next time.

But Varian knew it was just an excuse.

After this incident, the chances of successfully pulling this off would be close to none.

"Haa~" Varian took a deep breath and snapped his fingers.
