Chapter 1090: Levium (7)
The Chimaeric Demon flew through the city, its wings beating furiously.
The blackguards were everywhere, searching for Erik and his clone. However, none of them noticed him since he too took the shape of a bug, but that didn't mean he couldn't be seen at all.
Being small was helpful, but it didn't make the clone invisible. That was why, since this was a clone of Erik's latest batches, he actually turned invisible.
The problem was that the mana consumption was too much for him, and sooner or later, he would be forced to at least turn his invisibility off.
All around the clone, the city was getting destroyed. Most of the buildings had been reduced to ashes and rubble, but the sight of the battle between Erik and the blackguards was relatively far.
In truth, in the clone's mind, the answer existed. In his opinion, they were not only searching for him, but were even trying to destroy everything in which Erik could hide.
It was pretty useless, in truth, from this point of view at least, but it prevented Erik's allies from trying to sneak their way toward Levium.
But that would not stop the Chimaeric Demons at all, but Levium and his soldiers wouldn't know that.
Smoke billowed from many fires, obscuring the sky and making it hard to breathe. There were also many battle sounds around him, which meant the blackguards weren't actually just targeting his master.
The battle damage around the city didn't seem to be from Erik's fight. There were marks from energy weapons and broken vehicles all over the streets.
The blackguards were not only in the area where Erik was, but were also in the rest of the city, after all. The clone's brothers said they were attacking basically everywhere.
Suddenly, a series of explosions rocked the area. The force of the blasts nearly knocked the Chimaeric Demon out of the air.
The clone had a lead to where his brothers were. He regained his balance and flew towards the source of the commotion.
What was happening was pretty clear.
The point was, how did they find out about them? How did they know Erik was in Sleb Harbour?
But the clone didn't have time to dwell on that. Because as he approached the site of the explosion, he saw a scene of pandemonium.
Its brothers clashed with a squad of blackguards, which hadn't been few.
The air filled with bright flashes and loud noises as the fighters used their powerful brain crystal powers to kill each other.
Fists flew, swords slashed, spears pierced, and hammers crushed. Blood flew and stained the ground red.
The fight was brutal. For sure, the Chimaeric Demons were winning, but contrary to the usual, much to the clone's horror, he saw several of its brethren dead, their bodies broken on the blood-soaked ground.
The fight seemed to have reached a climax. The number of blackguards was less than the number of their corpses, but despite having been clearly defeated, it still looked like they had achieved their goal.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," one of the Chimaeric Demons said. "It's pretty clear
now that they're trying to keep us away from the master."
"Definitely. They must have planned this out pretty well. I wonder how long they've been
preparing for this attack."
"It doesn't matter how long they've been planning," a third clone said. "What matters is that
we need to help our master right now."
The others nodded in agreement. They all knew that time was of the essence. One of the Chimaeric Demons stepped forward and reached for its radio. The others watched curiously.
"What are you doing?" someone asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" The clone said, turning on the radio. "I'm calling for help. We need to let
the others know what's going on."
"Good thinking," another clone said.
Its voice rang out across the airwaves, relaying the dire news to its brothers scattered
throughout the city.
"Attention all units," he said. "This is a Code Red. Our master is currently engaged in high- risk combat against enemy forces. Intel confirms the presence of a high-value target, 'Uncle
Benjamin', leading the opposition."
"Current status: Our master is isolated and outnumbered. Enemy strength is estimated at battalion level, but we can't rule out the chance of it being a brigade. Our primary aim is to provide immediate tactical support and extract our master from the hostile zone." "All available units are to converge on these coordinates immediately. Maintain radio silence during approach. Upon arrival, form into fire teams and await further instructions. Failure is
not an option. Over and out."
The Chimaeric Demons answered the call for help. The Chimaeric Demons were nervous. They wanted to rush to help Erik right away.
But there was a big problem. The attack had spread the Chimaeric Demons all over the city. Some were fighting in one place, while others were far away, doing different things. Besides, they knew that around the coordinates they got provided; the blackguards mounted incredible defenses.
The Chimaeric Demons tried their best to gather. Those who were close to each other formed small groups. These small groups then tried to join with other groups when they could.
"Hey, let's get moving," one of the clones said. "We can't waste more time than we already
did."
"Yeah, you're right. I know where our master is. I'll show you guys the way."
"Great."
The Chimaeric Demons then started preparing.
"Alright, everyone ready?"
"Ready," someone answered.
"Okay, let's do this," the Chimaeric Demon driver said. "We'll turn into small bugs to avoid
being seen. Follow me closely."
With that, the clone changed into a tiny insect and took off into the air. The others quickly did
the same, transforming into a swarm of bugs. They all flew after the driver, heading towards where Erik was fighting.
