Chapter 1004 Vita's Crisis

"Mhm, I have spent long enough explaining and my energy is waning. Basically, accumulate power and become stronger, but remember to use Caela's eyes very well. They have a smidgen of Origo's authority."

"Right, goodbye!"

With that, the transmission came to an end and the slowly formulating items turned out to be the image of two swords, one white and one black. However, they seemed to lack something as they eventually did not form and dissipated with the wind.

Draco, Eva, and Shuangtian slowly digested all they had heard and realized that they had been done a big favor by Caelo. They were only halfway through their journey, and Caelo had already alerted them to the endgame.

This was because they could take fewer shortcuts and prepare themselves for the 'final battle'.

Draco looked around and folded his arms. "Whatever the case, we are done with this Unique Quest, so let's head back."

The others nodded and entered a livable pocket space Draco created. Eva and Shuangtian though, entered the Morningstar World through a portal, while Draco dropped an exit from the Inner Universe to this spot.

He then entered the Morningstar World as well and then walked through the portal leading to the Anomaly Realm with Eva and Shuangtian. The moment they arrived, they saw that the entire place was empty and Hoover was lying injured on a medical bed.

The Trio's faces changed as Eva quickly healed him and they inquired as to what was going on from the goatman butler.

"My Lords, they are a bunch of assailants wreaking havoc upon Vita Kingdom. We can barely hold out!" Hoover reported with a gloomy expression.

The eyes of the Evil Trio became cold and they exited the Anomaly Realm, then rushed out of the Aether Palace. What greeted them was a giant palm coming down from above…

.............

Approximately 30 minutes ago, Vita Kingdom was entirely peaceful and operating as normal. However, exactly at that moment, everyone in the city heard a loud sound.

"Draco and his rats of Umbra, scram out here for the supremacies!"

The sound was so thunderous that it caused all those below Rank 4 to suffer damage, those at Rank 1 bleeding from all orifices and fainting, those at Rank 2 coughing blood and falling to their knees while those at Rank 3 bled from their ears, and became slightly dizzy.

Those at Rank 4 and above only felt jolted and shocked, wondering what the hell was going on. Soon, they got their answer as the airspace outside of Vita Kingdom was filled with hundreds of figures, all of them radiating a grand aura that suppressed all.

The faces of every NPC and player in the Kingdom changed, as they realized the kingdom was being besieged by the strongest powers in the world below the gods!

Almost all the neutral and hostile Rank 7's not affiliated with any faction, and even those part of every faction, had paid a visit.

Many were not aware of what was going on, but since the announcement that Draco and co killed a World Boss was just literally a few minutes ago, a lot of people were able to put two and two together.

Once they did, their eyes were filled with disdain. The lofty image Rank 7 entities had in their hearts collapsed when they realized that they were in fact, no different from them.

This was the so-called Rank 7 God? Did they even deserve to be called God? They were scared shitless when they finally realized that their pseudo-invincibility was no more.

As for the Rank 7 entities hovering outside the kingdom,l their faces changed slightly when they saw the various mortals looking at them with disdain, having realized their purpose.

Their rushing here was too hasty as it made their motives obvious, but it couldn't be helped. The alarm that they felt was unprecedented, and a sense of crisis - as well as a hint of greed - had clouded their better judgment.

However, the next moment, they did not care about what the mortals thought. 99% of them were about to die in the upcoming demon invasion, so their thoughts would be meaningless and time would wipe away the disgrace.

Realizing this, they became even more emboldened and unscrupulous. However, before they could take a step further, there was a roar in the middle area of Umbra.

The Rank 7 barracks came to life as hundreds of airships rose to the sky, all of them bearing soldiers and weaponry far advanced for this era.

While Draco might not have the necessary Tradeskill to build this, he could easily either commission it or buy the Legendary Tradeskill necessary from multiple avenues, number 1 being Shuro's Shop in his Rank 7 Castle.

Almost 10,000 Rank 5 and 200 Rank 6 troops were on these airships, which formed the army of Vita Kingdom. This was tiny compared to the capacity of the barracks, and was even smaller than armies from towns, much less other kingdoms.

But the elite nature of this army was undeniable as whether it was power, level, or equipment, they were top tier. Draco's Avatar, before leaving, had especially taken time to craft an Epic version of the Dragorugio set for all Rank 5 soldiers, whereas he made a custom legendary armor for the Rank 6 fellows.

The airships themselves were also powerful, all of them being at the Rare Rank.

｢The Military's Bevy – Airship

Durability: 200,000,000/200,000,000

Rank: Rare

Flying Speed: 1 Mach per second

Effect: Double Flying Speed, Energy Ammunition.｣

Even the airships posed a threat to the Rank 7 fellows. If hundreds of those missiles landed on their heads, their trillions of HP would rush down like the stock market during a pandemic.

A few Rank 7's especially those without factions who were either alone, from a single clan, kingdom, empire, or small organization, were slightly cowed.

Only those Rank 7's from the top 300 organizations that visited the Divine auction were not moved. This was primarily due to their strength and also due to their confidence.

In their mind, nothing could kill them but whatever bullshit method Draco used, so as long as they captured him, everything would be alright. As for these tin cans, what did they care?

"I will not ask again, bring Draco out here to great the supremacies, or else!" A Rank 7 folded his arms and shouted with impatience, cruelty, and hatred in his eyes.

Vita Kingdom was deathly silent as the civilians down below had worried looks, while the army was stationed in defensive mode. After all, their commander, Deployed Solider, was not here to give orders.

In the nearby void, Richmond and Nakiu were bickering while watching the proceedings like hawks. Even though they had been alarmed by the news, they didn't directly show up.

Not to mention that he was the only Tilted God here. The others were too bored to come and play like this. They were Goddamn Tittled Gods, basically, Semi-Divine entities.

Whatever could kill those Rank 7's couldn't kill them. In fact, they themselves could easily kill Rank 7 fellows, which was why they had such prestige and deterrent effect.

Nakiu had wanted to rush out and bully some Rank 7 fellows to pass the time, but Richmond held him back, he could help and try to disperse these fellows, but he wanted to see what Draco would do and if he really had the power to kill Rank 7 fellows.

Richmond was willing to bet it was more of a one-time thing, so these guys were bound to be furious and try to harm his apprentice. When Draco was at his wit's end, Richmond would appear at the last second to save him and majestically block all enemies for him.

With Draco behind him, Richmond would half-turn his head and say: "my silly apprentice, you are truly helpless without me eh?"

In that moment, Draco would be filled with endless gratitude and awe, and he would finally call him master instead of shitty old man!

Richmond was giddy just thinking about it!

While Richmond was having delusions of grandeur, the tension had risen to a boiling point. At this moment, Hoover came forth and confidently floated before the various Rank 7 fellows.

"Greetings, supremacies. My name of Hoover, and I am the custodian of the Morningstar clan, of which Lord Draco is the head. I am here to answer your summons as well as any questions you have." Hoover greeted respectfully with a bow.

Before the caustic fellow could speak, a woman from the Mages Association stepped forward and smiled gently.

"Mr Hoover, we would like to have a chat with Lord Draco. Can you inform him of our visit?"

Hoover nodded and bowed. "I believe Lord Draco would love to meet you all. He definitely doesn't dare to slight the supremacies gathered here today."

Hearing this, the various fellows snorted or smirked, feeling smug inside. As long as this brat knew his place, things would work out fine. They didn't even realize that a lot of their anger coming here had dissipated at this moment with a few simple words.

"However, the problem is that Lord Draco is currently within the Unmapped Zones, taking part of a Unique Quest. That is likely why he was forced to take on such a powerful foe." Hoover explained with lament in his voice.

The faces of the Rank 7 fellows here changed greatly. They didn't care about any Unique Quest or why Draco was forced to kill a World Boss. What they cared about was the fact that he was not here, and in the Unmapped Zones, finding him would be impossible!

What if he had some way to know what was going on here and decided to not show up until he increased his power to the limit? Then, his 'sketchy' method of taking down Rank 7's would become solid!

No, they couldn't allow this to happen! The reason they rushed out here and tarnished their reputations was because they knew that Draco was at most, Rank 4 or 5.

At that level, they could still control him if things went south, but if he climbed to Rank 7 while he was away, they would have to wash their necks and wait for his revenge, especially the way they had come here with hostility!

A miscalculation! A serious miscalculation!

It was fine if Draco was not physically in the Kingdom, because he would be somewhere in the Mapped Zones and they could find him, but the Unmapped Zones were not traversable unless one knew what they were looking for.

Now they were riding on the back of the tiger, it was impossible to get off easily!

The faces of all the Rank 7 fellows became dark and they realized that this was a turning point. What they decided to do from here would deice the subsequent play-out of events!

While those smarter Rank 7 fellows tied to the bigger factions were contemplating things carefully, those Rank 7 fellows who were already hostile to Draco due to the conflict from the building of Vita City-State back then did not think so much.

They were already enemies and he would probably hunt them down when he came back. This was their only chance to squeeze him to death and deprive him of his power, so they struck without thinking.

One sent a beam of energy that struck Hoover in the gut, sending him crashing down into Vita Kingdom while spitting endless blood, his life on the brink.

The others fired attacks and blasts at the airships that were on standby, destroying many of them and killing those who were relying on them to stay airborne, while some other hostile Rank 7 fellows destroyed key buildings below, targeting the core section were the lifeblood of Vita Kingdom lay.

In just a second disaster had fallen in Vita Kingdom!
