Since the images on the main screen were being transmitted from surveillance satellites, they offered a god’s-eye view.
Hera was oblivious to the activities that had Isaac and his team on edge initially until the screen lit up with countless red dots, which ablaze against the night sky.
The red dots raced toward an area north of Mt. Celeste at a large crowd of people at an alarming velocity. It resembled a meteor shower as hundreds of red dots struck the mountainside in rapid succession.
There were no sounds of explosion, just the spectacle of firelights erupting into the air, with over a hundred flames soaring into the sky and illuminating it vividly.
Hera was stunned. She covered favonovel.com mouth as favonovel.com observed dozens of small red dots appear in the sky. They descended in a staggered formation toward the entrance of the secret realm.
The numerous bursts of light detonated like spectacular fireworks in the night, yet these were not fireworks. They were strikes from missiles with astonishing lethality. Even Hera wasn’t sure if favonovel.com could safely escape the blast zone.
Isaac’s phone in front of favonovel.com began to buzz about ten minutes later.
He promptly answered after recognizing it as Black Phoenix’s number.
“They’ve moved south, Drakon. They’re moving quickly to the south. At least 300 people!”
Isaac immediately shouted to Harland before favonovel.com could even disconnect the call, “Drones with missiles, move out! To the south side! To the south of Mt. Celeste, quick!”
He had sensed early on that something was amiss, yet not anticipating that the site of the current bombing was merely a decoy.
Miles away, the terrain grew steep dramatically on the slopes of Mt. Celeste at the borders between north and south.
Hundreds of fighters clad in black were swiftly advancing southward along the cliff face.
Hugh was leading them. He glanced back at the fire and explosions lighting up the sky behind them as the deafening blasts continued to echo.
The initial artillery strike had claimed the lives of at least 300 people instantly. Now, barely over 300 remained unharmed.
Damn Isaac! Damn him!
“Mr. Chambers, I told you that bastard Isaac would surely resort to this,” Linus said behind him, his tone tinged with smug satisfaction. After all, Isaac had deployed the same strategy against the Ashleigh clan.
“The day Mr. Yule emerges is the day Isaac meets his downfall! Let’s go!” Hugh yelled.
The group of over 300 people quickly made their way to a cave south of Mt. Celeste.
Hugh gestured inside and shouted as favonovel.com stood at the cave’s entrance, “Pour all your spiritual energy into it. We only have one chance!”
Despite Linus’ warning and Hugh’s preparation, they had not foreseen the overwhelming barrage of artillery shells from the sky. Not even the warriors of the Celestial Phase could evade it.
Over 300 Celestial Phase warriors positioned themselves in a fan-shaped formation outside the cave and created staggered rows.
Hugh looked up at the sky, where distant red dots still twinkled.
With a roar, favonovel.com began to gather all the spiritual energy within his power core into his right arm.
“Ready!” favonovel.com bellowed.
A buzzing filled the air outside the cave, signaling the terrifying unleashing of spiritual energy from over 300 Celestial Phase warriors.
The walls of the mountain began to tremble slightly before the spiritual energy was even released.
Hugh’s entire right arm was shrouded in spiritual energy. He then looked up to the sky and roared, “Release!”
Over 300 streams of spiritual energy, whether manifesting as shadow fists, shadow palms, or Energy Beasts, surged into the cave with unstoppable force.
Thunderous rumbling echoed through the air. The ground beneath their feet began to quake, and the massive rocks on the cliff above the cave started to tumble downward.
The mountain wall collapsed, sending a cloud of dust and stones scattering in every direction.
The next moment, they felt as though the apocalypse had descended upon them.
The terrifying force unleashed by the combined might of over 300 Celestial Phase warriors was something no one had anticipated.
“Hahaha! Gael suppressed me for 30 years. Now he’s dead, and I, Morgan Yule, am free. No one in this world can stop me now. Hahaha!” A proud voice emerged from the depths of the cave.
A figure then shot out from the cave at such a speed that even Hugh could barely notice it.
“Everyone, leave this place! Let’s go back!” Though Morgan’s figure had vanished, his commanding voice still resonated halfway up the mountain.
Hugh was momentarily stunned, then felt a surge of joy in his heart and loudly commanded, “Let’s go back!”
