Speed Is King
Chapter 375 Damn it old woman!

The Shadow Realm was definitely unlike anything that Elliot could have ever imagined.

Like their own realm, they had stars and planets.

However, unlike their realm, all of them looked ethereal!

“Uh. Why do the stars and planets look that way?” Elliot asked Elise Sands.

“I personally do not know much. I have made forrays into the Shadow Realm, but this is my first real mission here. As far as I knoe, the denizens here are mostly what we call “Spirits” back in our own realm. They look ethereal to us, but only to us.” Elise Sands explained.

“Really? The shadow primal I killed looked plenty real to me.” Elliot remarked.

“Of course. That’s probably an invasion grade warrior of the Shadow Realm. They are already modified so that they were able to make the strongest impact in our realm.

“I see. So that is an invasion grade planet? But that doesn’t look like a military production planet though.” Elliot said as his eyes finally caught sight of a planet that wasn’t ethereal and pointed at it.

“Uh. Good point. Let’s get closer to replace out more.” Elise Sands said softly and led Elliot towards it.

However, before they were able to cover even half the distance, a huge amount of ethereal warriors suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them!

“Ambush!” Elliot yelled. He immediately whipped up a powerful defensive sphere around them, a split second before impressive sounding blasts rocked it from every single direction.

“Uh. Weak ambush.” Elliot couldn’t help but clarify with a laugh as he finally determined the strength of the ambushers.

“Garrison soldiers. We probably triggered some sort of alarm. Don’t let your guard down, and prepare to kill the Primal with your nuclear fusion.” Elise Sands warned.

“Sure. By the way, I have these Rings of Absolute Stealth. Would they work here?” Elliot asked as he ignored the continuous explosions that were ringing out all around him.

“No. In the Shadow Realm, our life energy light up like fireworks in the middle of the night. The Ring would not help us here. We need to proceed without stealth.” Elise Sands shook her head.

“You don’t have any stealth skills that could cover our approach?” Elliot asked in amazement.

“I have stealth skills, but none would work here. The Shadow Rea- wait a minute.” Elise Sanda frowned as she finally remembered that she had mastered an Ascendant Rune.

She carefully but very quickly modified her Spell Framework using the Ascendant Rune’s principles, and then…

Whoosh.

They disappeared.

With their disappearance, the Shadow Realm defenders lost their targets, and they immediately stopped firing.

“Excellent! Truly a wondrous rune.” Elise Sands sighed in pleasure. “Let’s go and check out that planet.”

“Let’s go.” Elliot agreed.

Without the Shadow Realm soldiers blocking their way, the two managed to reach the planet quickly and landed on the highest peak they could replace.

“It’s a life planet. And filled with sentient life forms. However… they are not militarized. Heck, they aren’t even armed. Just what in the world is this…” Elise Sands thought aloud as she surveyed the entire planet with her senses.

Elliot did the same thing, and studied the planet quietly next to her. However, unlike Elise Sands, an uncomfortable feeling had already bloomed in his heart.

Quadrupeds that looked like a horrifying mix of lions, cows and human beings filled the entire planet evenly with primitive villages.

All throughout the planet, a portion of the quadrupeds were moving almost simultaneously towards the north and the south.

“Breeding planet.” Elliot said softly.

Elise Sands’ eyes widened.

And as she traced the quadrupeds north, her eyes widened even more as she noticed an utterly massive purgatory-like area where all of the quadrupeds ended up in.

A strange but massive machine hovering overhead would suck their life force and cause their bodies to shrivel, and the quadrupeds would then fall into the fire pit to get completely incinerated.

It was a pure, life energy breeding planet!

“There won’t be any Primals here.” Elliot said grimly as the reality of the Shadow Realm started to sink in his mind.

“This should be a terraformed low level life energy breeding planet for them.” Elise Sands agreed. “It must be destroyed, but it is not our main target. Let us continue our search.”

Under Elise Sands’ stealth spell, they quickly made their way around the area.

According to Primal Alexander’s data, there was an important military production planet nearby.

It didn’t take them long to finally replace what they were looking for. In fact, it actually wasn’t possible to miss it.

The military production planet was utterly MASSIVE.

By Elliot’s rough estimate, it was at least a thousand times bigger than the sun!

With their sharp eyes and senses, they instantly discovered that millions of spacecraft were being assembled at rapid speed on the planet.

Not only that, a massive facility that looked like they were churning out clones also stood proud and tall, covering at least half the planet.

Elliot frowned and scrutinized that particular facility to do a rough count.

“What the hell…” He could only breathe out in frustration as his mind ended up with an impossibly large number.

“A billion clones a day.” Elise Sands said grimly.

“We need to destroy this planet.” Elliot nodded and started to scan for a suitable Primal to serve as the raw material of his crude but highly effective nuclear explosion.

“Ok, there’s definitely a Primal here. Maybe even a Saint. Just don’t tell me that the damned God of Tricks Blytoros is here.” Elise Sands muttered softly as she continued to behold the planet in awesome wonder.

But Elise Sands must have been a prophet of doom in her previous life because at that moment, a booming laughter could be heard resounding around them!

“HA HA HA! WE HAVE VISITORS FROM OUR NEIGHBOURS ABOVE!!” A voice which sounded impossibly loud rang out with great force!

“I, BLYTOROS THE MAGNIFICENT, BID YOU WELCOME! HA HA HA HA HA!!”

“Damn it old woman! Look at what you’ve done!” Elliot cursed at Elise loudly.
