Thankfully, she was not alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssals cross tunneled into the dungeons, destroyed the garrisons deployed at the dungeons and rushed to the meeting place with the Shadow Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Planetary Guards rushed to the scene and held them back long enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abyssals entered the Secret Realm and used their technology to remove Dreamer's tracker…then everything would be futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the twelve dead soldiers and thirteen who were barely alive, including the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Enigma muttered and said. \"Yi, take care of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A petite figure dressed in all black appeared behind her and nodded violently. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly administered the living a 6 star healing potion and took every human, dead or alive, to a far off distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned her attention to the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma was floating in the sky. Her gaze seemed to pierce space itself. She calmly said. \"On position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on five different locations, five people per location, in black clothing were brandishing their weapon against empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included a location under the ocean and a location up in the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them looked extremely serious. Fortunately, there were no speculators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them said after Enigma. \"On position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, their comms buzzed and a hologram covered the space in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a white barrier with several cross marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cute voice sounded from their comms, belonging to a certain ghost. \"Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space was crushed and Gravity spiked as the attacks were unleashed on the Secret Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few silhouettes appeared out of nowhere, blocking their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They too were clad in black. But the difference was they had a logo of a hooded figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of the figure was covered in black, only a blood red, and cruel smile could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petty tricks!\" The man who appeared in front of Enigma scowled. \"We just need to secure one Abyssal and you're done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma felt the pressure of a Level 9 pressure down on her. She didn't back down and stared back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze narrowed as she gauged the five individuals behind the leading man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading man was the lord of the realm. A mid level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men behind him were the vice lords. Two Low level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the twenty behind them were the deacons. Peak Level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enigma, you are still too weak. What can you do other than escape? Do you dare to fight me?\" The Realm Lord shamelessly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure of defeating Enigma in a fair fight…but when the hell did she ever play by the rules?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she could always escape. And no one could stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Aren't you ashamed to challenge a Level 8? This old man Frode will take on you level 9 dogs!\" A huge aura burst out from the distance and a hunched man in black appeared in front of the Realm Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was at mid level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A his huge wings of lightning flapped, the old man looked like an angel sent to punish evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Realm Lord flinched and exclaimed. \"Y-You! Adventurer Frode, Thunder Might, aren't you dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you know?\" Frode asked in equal amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Didn't you just say?' Enigma silently sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever! I'm alive and kicking!\" Frode said after feeling a chill on his back. He could feel her glare at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was technically stronger than her, he didn't want to piss her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join us! We are powerful people. We shouldn't waste our lives for the ordinary!\" Realm Lord invited with a sincere tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frode simply spat in disgust and said. \"I always thought we humans had a sense of shame, but now I know they don't. Wait, you aren't even qualified to be a human. You traitorous bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Realm Lord's eyes chilled. The space around him fluctuated madly and he said with a cruel smirk. \"Are you sure you want to do this? Abyssals are holding off any reinforcement that could come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You would get no help, but on the other hand, we will soon have other powerhouse of the Order arrive through cross tunneling, thanks to the Abyssals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frode's brows knit together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was the plan. Army would surely block off any suspicious interplanetary travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Order members would go to Abyss and from there, cross tunnel to the dungeons on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current situation where manpower was limited, there was little they could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Shadow Order seems to have been preparing for this even before they expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reinforcements could arrive at any moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! How about it? In a minute or two, we'll have our reinforcements. And you will die a cruel death.\" Realm Lord chuckled arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't lie. Reinforcements could be here any minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Enigma manages to break open the Secret Realm, then everything would be futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be completely exposed. With how much the army hated them, even if they were visible, they'd do everything they can to get rid of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these one or two minutes were crucial to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wished for Frode and Enigma to leave. Of course, he was already planning revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Abyssals erased the mark, he'd ask them if they can help find the Shadow Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frode, block them off.\" Enigma curtly said, cutting off his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Leader.\" Frode said and a golden lightning flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh! I'll kill you, old bastard!\" Realm Lord yelled and clenched his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he signaled the two low level 9s to stop Enigma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He channeled his space power and muttered. \"Space Blast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was suddenly compressed and the next moment, it exploded. Like a broken mirror, cracks appeared everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would've killed a level 8. Even a high level 8 would've been seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\" Frode's body was turned into lightning and a huge lightning armor covered his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only survived the impact, but his lightning spears blocked the two low level 9s from reaching Enigma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go! Stop her!\" Realm Lord yelled in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a chance.\" Frode took on the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was filled with broken space, and golden lighting, as well as two weaker fire and water swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guh!\" Frode stumbled back, clutching his chest. There was a huge cut on his chest from the space attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right arm was burnt slightly while his left arm was frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he found it difficult to take on the three of them. And in fact, he might not survive a few more minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, he persisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill me first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level 9s fight was fierce and its impact could be felt even from a hundred miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, another battle was taking place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here too, a single member of Shadow Guardian fought off multiple members of the Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty of them, in fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the result couldn't be more different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's sword came down like a death sickle. Her figure blurred in the air and not even the peak Level 8s could take a second strike from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dropped from the air like fired birds and crashed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma wasted no time and raised her sword to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright white light flashed and the next moment, a blinding sword strike hit one of the cross marks on the hologram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a broken lock, a huge white barrier appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it faded in and out of sight, as if it were an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Realm Lord screamed and his aura rose, pushing away Frode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to rush to Enigma when Frode appeared in front of him in his lightning form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\" With bloodshot eyes, he attacked Frode with all his strength, and the old man was sent flying, coughing out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma was about to launch a second attack when she sensed two Abyssals trying to sneak in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" With a snort, the two low level 8 Abyssals were forced to the ground and their eyes turned dull, before they died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma attacked for the second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to just get one more strike, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Realm Lord appeared in front of her and yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma disappeared and the next moment, the space she was in blasted into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared at a distance, and saw Frode on the ground, taken care of by the petite girl, Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, four level 7 Abyssals entered the Secret Realm which was now almost materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! I won! We won! Enigma, your plans are useless.\" Realm Lord laughed out loud, arrogance and triumph overflowing in his laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma knit her brows and she stopped Frode who was about to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at a certain direction in the sky before turning to Realm Lord. \"No. You lost. They're here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Enigma, Yi and Frode disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same scene was staged across the other four Secret Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every location's Secret Lord and Level 9s were blocked by the Level 9 of Shadow Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Guardian's level 9s all had to pay price of severe injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, unlike Enigma, there were several level 8s in Guardians to take on the Order's Level 8s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Guardian's level 8s were outnumbered. Despite that, they managed to land three out of the five required strikes to break open the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the Abyssals already entered into the Secret Realm and were about to hide it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just like with Enigma, the reinforcements from army arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>",1651,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","98e9cb599db547f48e4e7745d907fa871b9c6e98bd138074c79195302358732a","divine-path-system-chapter-389","divine-path-system-chapter-388",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
