Gacha Sovereign
chapter-542

"Charge!"

As soon as the order was made, the spirits, contracted beasts, and the people from Blackwade Clan moved in unison, pursuing the Joyful Union Sect. Because of this situation, only Greg and Kyle left behind to protect the array as they would come back soon.

The sect leader roared to the sky, intending to alarm the entire sect. "All disciples of the Joyful Union Sect. This battle will decide our fate. No matter if you are a Martial Master or Martial Grandmaster or even Martial Emperor, come to this place right now to repel our enemies! If we lose here, there is no more Joyful Union Sect in the future, and there is no way our enemies will be kind enough to let you go. Come to this place right now as we will wrest away our fate."

This loud sound alarmed everyone on the scene, including all the disciples that were going into hiding with the earlier notice. The disciples did not know what to do, but when one person stood up, the rest would follow until all of them finally stood up.

The Martial Master and Grandmaster in this sect was around one hundred fifty thousand people. Despite being cannon fodders, that number alone would threaten the Spirit Nest and Blackwade Clan.

It was proven by how Alex's expression turned serious.

"Haha! We will defeat you in this place! To think you are foolish enough to pursue us!" The sect master laughed, looking down on Alex.

The grand elder raised his hand, signaling the people in charge before shouting. "Activate the array!"

"!!!" Song Yu furrowed her eyebrows and looked around. Song Jia and her grandfather also watched their surroundings to see if Alex told the truth or not.

After waiting for a few seconds, nothing appeared on the battlefield, making the warriors from the Blackwade Clan feel relieved.

Alex released his killing intent. "Traps? Do you think your trap can stop me? I have long disarmed them."

"What!" The sect master and grand elder opened their mouths in surprise. They did not want to believe it, but the fact their traps did not turn on, they had no choice other than to believe it.

"Impossible, how can you know their positions… No, you should be the one who saves that little brat!"

"As I said, nothing can stop me." Alex shrugged.

"Young Master, if you want to attack, let me open it with a huge attack. I am going to level up in a bit." Suddenly, Artur sent a message to his head.

[Artur (Light)

Level: 57/80 (7-Star Martial Emperor Stage)

Exp: 475343/480000]

"Hmm…" Alex checked his status, and it was true. Artur only needed less than four thousand EXPs. Even if he killed Martial Master and Martial Grandmasters, he should be able to level up despite them only giving him one experience point per person.

"Leoz, Jeanne, make way for Arthur and defeat those two leaders as quickly as possible." He commanded.

"I think we are going to attack them after that." Fabio and Vera informed him.

"Yeah. I have the same." Anna also came toward him and nodded.

[Anna (Dark)

Level: 57/80 (7-Star Martial Emperor Stage)

Exp: 470001/480000]

[Fabio (Fire)

Level: 57/80 (7-Star Martial Emperor Stage)

Exp: 468991/480000]

[Vera (Water)

Level: 56/80 (6-Star Martial Emperor Stage)

Exp: 451285/470000]

After checking their status, he gave them a go. "Understood. All of you can just bombard them with your strongest skill before you all level up. No need for my permission."

The spirits nodded.

Alex glanced at Song Yu, signaling her to start.

"Go!" Both of them said at the same time.

"Ooh!"

"Joyful Union Sect, on me!" The sect leader and grand elder decided to lead the disciples to fight back.

Artur cut everyone on his way. Even if he was going to be surrounded after this, he did not care. In fact, he welcomed such a thing as his strongest attack did not really have long reach like the others.

"Spirit Slash!"

He created a giant sword strike to clean up the ground around him a little bit as he descended and placed his hand on the ground.

"By the Spirit God's Blessing, this body shall become my sword, and my sword shall become my body. Let this entire existence cut through all enemies."

A bright white light appeared on the ground, alarming the enemies. Only one thought they could feel from this light. It was something bad. The light enveloped more than five thousand disciples.

Seeing this, the grand elder warned them.

"Get out of the light!"

Unfortunately, they were too late, Artur activated the last phase.

"Grand Cross!" As soon as he used the technique, a circle of swords rose from the ground, piercing many disciples in one go. There were survivors, but most of them were heavily injured.

Song Yu and Song Jia dropped their jaw to the ground as they never saw a powerful technique. On the other hand, their grandfather was surprised because of another thing. He muttered, "This… This is a peak Heaven Tier Martial Art! How… Even a Martial Emperor like him would have a difficulty to activate him. Is he going to suicide? After using this technique, he would absolutely have no Spiritual Energy left."

"!!!" Song Yu looked at her grandfather and said, "We need to save him immediately!"

When her grandfather was about to answer, they suddenly saw Artur coming out of that sword formation with a face full of energy. As if the sword attack did not affect him at all, he laughed. "Haha… This knight has finally become useful for his master."

"What?!" Not only the Blackwade Clan people, but even the grand elder and sect leader were also stupefied. The disciples from both sides were utterly speechless. More than a surprise, they felt dread of this technique. After all, if they got attacked by this technique, they would become those who were pierced from under.

Anna complained a little bit. "Artur, you almost made me lose my opportunity! If I lose the opportunity to pay them back, I will surely remember you."

Artur's excitement suddenly died down before he replied. "I am sorry, Mistress."

"Hmph. Fabio, Vera, let's go." Anna appeared from in front of the enemies, making them suck a cold breath.

After looking at Artur's attack, they could somehow imagine what kind of attack Anna would release. And she even brought two of her friends.

"O' moonlight, hear my prayer. Darkness is eternal. Let this dark butterfly carry you around to feed you with these lives as offerings."

Anna raised her scythe before appearing in the middle of the enemies while stabbing the ground with her scythe. The dark fire that appeared on her scythe slowly went inside the ground and spread around.

"Memory of Death!"

As soon as she used the attack, many black tentacles rose and started pulling the disciples inside. This was Anna's strongest curse. Inside this technique, the people would be tested their will and other things for a long long time even though only a second passed in the real world.

If they could not pass the test, the curse would swallow their memories and existences.

One second later, all the people absorbed by the black hole appeared, but only a few managed to stand up again. The rest of them were living deaths. The system even considered them dead, as they were just empty shells. It was not a matter where they could just get the soul and memory from Anna as their souls and memories were already extinguished inside that darkness.

At the same time,

Fabio and Vera held hands as they walked toward the enemies. It was like a harmonious couple strolling in a park. They were walking while chanting with a pacifying tone.

"By the blessing of Spirit God, permitting marriage between Fire and Ice, we will dance in your palm as a Fire and Ice, opposite but inseparable."

Suddenly, they pulled their swords and stabbed the ground at the same time. From Fabio's sword, a blazing flame appeared and charged at the crowd. The same as his sword, the ice spike continued moving forward alongside the flame before it fused at some point.

The fusion created a shiny glow on the battlefield, revealing a blazing ice flower on the ground. It was a cute and tiny flower that one would protect with their life, but it was a very deadly flower in this case.

"Fire and Ice World!"

The lotus created a huge explosion, engulfing almost ten thousand disciples.

"Boom!"

The aftereffect was very beautiful in Alex's opinion. After the explosion, it created two worlds in the same place. Just like yin and yang, the fire and ice circled around the lotus, creating two worlds. Fire on the right and ice on the left. Although they could not get together, they were inseparable.

And with the collaborations of the three, they managed to level up and quickly retreated to Alex's side.

It already created a huge ruckus for both friendlies and enemies. Even Song Yu's grandfather was broken as he kept saying 'Peak Heaven Tier Art.'

Alex shrugged his shoulder as he wanted Jeanne and Leoz to finish it soon.

Noticing the exp almost filled up, Jeanne nodded to Alex. After fighting so long, she already grasped the extent of this sect master and planned to finish the fight as soon as possible.

Lightning sparked on her swords. She waved both swords and created a cross slash before shooting a yellow lightning Sword Wave.

"Full Body Cross Lightning."

"Dual Joy Slash!"

The sect master did not want to lose as he swung his sword as hard as possible.

The clash between two techniques shocked the entire battlefield, but before he managed to destroy Jeanne's sword wave, she already appeared diagonally to his top, pointing her sword at him.

"Natural Lightning Spear." She shot out a powerful lightning spear, boosting the power of her sword wave.

It pushed the sect master to the ground before he managed to destroy it. Unfortunately, Jeanne already finished her preparation.

"Lightning Spirit Worship o' Spirit God. Use my body as the catalyst, so you may strike my enemy with your lightning. Lightning Dragon!"

Despite having a bright blue sky, the glamour thunder still echoed in the sky, shocking everyone.

From one cloud, a lightning dragon appeared and flew toward the sect master.

"No!" The sect master looked very unwilling as he swung his sword again.

Sadly, it was not enough to destroy the lightning dragon.

As the main target of the lightning dragon, the sect master was engulfed before creating another huge explosion, killing many disciples.

However, despite gaining this much advantage, Alex could not help but frown. He noticed something that no one noticed in this battlefield. They surely killed thousands of people every single time, but most of them Martial Lords or below.

Just like Artur, Anna, and the other attacks, most survivors were Martial Kings and Emperors. In other words, if they could realize it, they might have another surge of morale and the situation would become a difficult battle.

He was convinced like that because he found the sect master was still alive, albeit half-dead.

This was why when he planned the battle, the most important thing in his mind was how to manipulate the entire battle, including emotion and attention.

There were only Anya, Jean, and Leoz that had yet to release their strongest attack. Seeing he got many Gacha Tickets, he was ready to use it, so they could make their strongest attack without fearing about their Spiritual Energy.

…

On the other side,

Song Jia and her grandfather exchanged looks as she asked, "Grandfather, do you know anything about this?"

"How could I know that they have many peak Heaven Tier Arts? I don't even have it myself…"

"..." Song Jia looked around, thinking about Alex's matter where he peeked on her before asking, "Ehm… I… Should I sacrifice myself?"

"According to Song Yu, it would only trigger him. Don't think about it. At the very least, we are his ally because of you, Song Yu, and Putri." Her grandfather sighed.

Song Yu stared blankly, wondering what just happened. This scene shocked her to the core and could not help but mutter to herself. "Does he even need our help?"
