A fierce battle erupted in the sky and ultimately ended with the departure of the Phoenix, but this outcome was achieved through the combined efforts of the four champions. After Ophelia and Loya joined the battle, two more champions came to their aid, finally defeating the Phoenix monster.
Of course, what caught the most attention was the object being chased by the Phoenix. It became a topic of discussion among people and the news was immediately blocked by the military. The dropped items were also confiscated, but it seemed to be the remains of a massive creature.
There were many speculations from the outside world. Some said it was a special kind of monster, while others believed it to be a valuable treasure. However, what surprised everyone was that the object turned out to be a special formation of metallic objects, with a "human" with horns discovered within it. This information was obtained by Bexia from Ophelia.
The situation seemed to be different from what the outsiders were speculating. After the awakening of this being from another race, the atmosphere in Alliance City's army became tense. The news received was unexpected to everyone, with some accepting it better than others. This being turned out to be a ghost clan member from another world.
From this ghost clan member called Borang, everyone learned that he was being pursued by a powerful Yakhmukhtaar, a creature with the strength of a six-star sovereign. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
However, this was not the most important part. What truly alarmed everyone was the Yakhmukhtaar's ability to rapidly reproduce. It could breed offspring at an astonishing rate and without control.
The appearance of a large number of insectoids required a significant amount of resources. The Yakhmukhtaar consumed anything containing energy to sustain its reproduction. In the other world, insectoids represented destruction, leaving no life in their wake.
This was a crisis! At least for many champions, it was a level of danger above what they knew. However, knowing was one thing, and the continent no longer had any sovereign-level beings. Even in the ancient elf era, sovereigns were a rarity. After all, a sovereign was terrifying, and an aggressive sovereign was even more so, posing a threat far beyond what the champions faced from the demonic tide. Hundreds of regular champions would not be a match for a sovereign. This represented a significant escalation, not on the same level of existence. Otherwise, why hadn't humans surpassed the existence of sovereigns over thousands of years?
But even more shocking than this was the fact that there were two terrifying sovereign-level existences: the Yakhmukhtaar and the sovereign of the world. Fortunately, these two frightening beings were not allies, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Still, this situation was terrifying, especially given humanity's fear of the unknown. This was not a matter that a main city could decide. Therefore, this news was immediately brought to other main cities, spreading rapidly to every major power and even the hands of champion-level beings across all continents. At the same time, a heavy atmosphere began to hang over the heads of top officials.
The fear of a sovereign-level creature's death was the biggest crisis Dark Border had ever faced!
Both the Empire and the Kingdom dispatched people to investigate this matter, but reaching the location proved to be extremely difficult. In the end, only a few champions managed to come close. However, this was still extremely dangerous since they were facing something that surpassed champions, and no one knew exactly how strong it was.
However, the latest news is even more terrifying. Of the three champions who went to investigate, only one champion returned in the end. Although he was not the strongest champion, he was a very powerful champion when it came to speed and stealth. He was specifically chosen for this investigation. However, the loss of two champions is undeniably huge.
The information they obtained is even more frightening because they didn't even see a trace of the Yark mother and the Monster Lord, yet they brought back important news - an enormous swarm of insects. It is as Braun said, a dense and massive swarm of insects, with dozens of champion-level Yark insects among them. One of the three investigating champions was severely injured in just one encounter, and if it weren't for the sacrifice of his two companions, it would have been impossible for the last person to escape.
Under this atmosphere, a large number of swarms have begun to approach Dark Border. The terrifying creatures of the insect race in the sky are too frightening. Anywhere they pass, there are no items other than rocks and stones. They spare nothing, whether it's fierce monsters or weeds on the ground, not even the corpses of their own kind. They leave nothing behind, not even a single bit of food.
This time, many people truly felt fear. Even some powerful champions felt this terrifying feeling. They had already stood at the pinnacle of the continent and hadn't felt such fear in many years. This time, it truly shook everyone.
Just three days after Braun's incident, millions of Yark insects arrived above Alliance City in a formation far more terrifying than the previous monster tide. It feels like the end of the world.
Furthermore, the Yark insects have the advantage of flight. They can easily bypass the defense of the city walls and enter Alliance City directly. This is the most terrifying aspect. Previous defense battles are completely ineffective, even powerful magic cannons are useless. The Yark insects in the sky are beyond their range. Even if they wait for them to land and fight them, it would be like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water because the number is just too massive.
Therefore, it is imperative to prevent the Yark insects from entering the range of Alliance City, otherwise, the defensive line that has existed for countless years will collapse and be lost.
So, more than twenty champions set out to intercept, but the results are somewhat uneven because the swarm also has two or three dozen champion-level Yark insects, so they don't have the numerical advantage.
Fortunately, the "Sun King Crown" - the monarch-level magical item obtained by Bexia from the Dragon God space earlier - is finally being put to use. The destructive power of large-scale magic is now used against a war of quantity.
On that day of the great battle, Bexia did not go and Ophelia was ordered by Bor to stay behind. However, the command of the dragon was taken away, and this time it consumed a large amount of resources and was filled with energy. Ophelia summoned a ten-star champion level super dragon soul to participate in the battle.
The roar constantly echoed from a distance, the first to begin being the terrifying phenomenon resembling a setting sun. Bexia knew that it was the magic inscribed in the Sun Crown. Even from hundreds of thousands of meters away, one could feel the earth's vibration. Thick dust spiraled up into the sky. I'm afraid it can be seen throughout the Godsend Continent...
