speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his Barrier being active for only a split second, things already started to happen before it even deactivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing that happened was that Lust immediately fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the second thing that happened…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive white laser hit the ground far away from Nick and dug into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trajectory of the laser directly targeted the spot where Lust had just been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nick could even perceive what was happening, the white laser vanished, and a white figure shot into the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was where the Right Arm stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm was constantly busy trying to find Pestilence in the Grand Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trio of Destruction and the Corruptors knew approximately where the Right Arm was, and they knew that he was somewhere in the surrounding 3,000 kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm and the Left Arm were the only Early Shields that Aegis had, and they were also the most powerful besides the Champion of Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, it was important to highlight the actual reason why Nick had changed shape in front of Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that exposing his shape-shifting capabilities to a Corruptor was not as bad as exposing it to Aegis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as the Right Arm knew, the angry Specter was just one of Julian Winter's servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had been prepared beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm had been told to wait near this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian Winter would give him the signal with his Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nick had still been in his disguise as the angry Specter, the Right Arm would become suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did this unknown Specter also have one of their Barriers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, the Barrier's serial number would show that this was Nick's Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly,if Nick had remained in his disguise as the angry Specter, the Right Arm might not have cared about him that much and accidentally killed him together with Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Nick's Barrier was still in the process of deactivating, the Right Arm's shining figure reached the depths of Lust's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sensed the Zephyx left behind by Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that he had hit Lust with his attack, but he hadn't killed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitating, an explosion of light expanded from the Right Arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic cave with a radius of ten kilometers was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even broke the surface, creating an impossibly deep hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magma and molten metals flooded the cave in an instant as the Right Arm immediately turned to his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hit Lust again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm pulled a majestic claymore out of its sheath and charged towards Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the claymore, and a crescent of white light flew forward at lightspeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crescent hit something, and Lust's precise location appeared in the Right Arm's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm continued shooting forward, continually releasing lasers all around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth shook and collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the end of the world had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lust's location was continuously updated in the Right Arm's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he thrust his sword forward, unleashing a focused laser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 30-kilometer-long but thin hole was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Right Arm was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hole didn't only pierce the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also pierced Lust's abdomen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Right Arm saw that, his eyes widened, and a terrifying white light appeared in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body shone in impossibly bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An identical laser to the first one shot out from the Right Arm's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the thin laser had pierced Lust, it already knew that it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll help humanity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what Lust transmitted at that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the gigantic laser arrived just an instant later, swallowing Lust's entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm had killed Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Corruptor had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lust died, the other Corruptors, the Trio of Destruction and Death, immediately noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was very different from the last time a Corruptor had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, they knew where the Knife was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also remembered what happened last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity had been prepared for them, and the only thing they had gotten from their attack was the destruction of a single stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Specters immediately communicated with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a single second after Lust died, Death's terrifying black mist appeared on the horizon of Aegis' headquarters again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Champion of Light, the Left Arm, and the Technician appeared in front of Aegis' headquarters and entered battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Death knew that it couldn't take out Aegis, but that was not its goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just wanted to keep the three Shields busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gave space to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aegis knew that the Trio of Destruction would launch an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the Knife's unknown location, Aegis knew that the Corruptors would not strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knife could kill any Corruptor in an instant, and if the Specters were not careful, they might lose another Corruptor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, attacking with their Adversaries was also risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aegis couldn't be sure how or where the Trio of Destruction would strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could be launching attacks on random strongholds, but they could also focus on a Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should they split their forces to cover more ground or consolidate them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Shields had talked about that earlier and came up with a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the gigantic cave he had made, the Right Arm just held his shining claymore over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile was on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to get to a stronghold to deal with the Specter's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a dying zombie pulling a hearse of corpses appeared at the entrance of the newly created cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green gas came off the corpses and filled the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, an endless army of locusts flew into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm looked up, a victorious smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My journey ends here,\" he said as he saw the locusts rushing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might kill me today, but there will be more to replace me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I killed one of your Corruptors, and that's more than I thought I would be able to achieve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humanity will live on!\" he shouted as his claymore started to shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green gas and the locusts enveloped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic explosion of light destroyed the ground for kilometers before blinding the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\" the Right Arm shouted with all of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossibly powerful earthquakes shook the southern part of the Grand Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crevices, kilometers wide, stretched for hundreds of kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more locusts entered the underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, an entire three seconds later, something else happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie with the hearse fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloud of locusts waiting beside the cave left…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a gigantic red tank appeared at the entrance of the cave, the muzzle of its cannon pointed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crater with a radius of over 20 kilometers was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An instant later, a kilometer-wide stream of magma shot out from the ground and flew into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War was surrounded by the lava, but it didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War waited for just a tiny moment before vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Famine and Pestilence had weakened the Right Arm's Zephyx, and War finished the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment the Right Arm had received Nick's signal, he knew that he wouldn't see the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Shields created the plan, they originally planned to consolidate their forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the Right Arm had stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have over ten Peak Protectors that can become Shields, but we are always lacking in Protectors. A Shield can be easily replaced. Protectors can't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Right Arm laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also,I think Zandur will easily surpass me in power if we just give him the chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shields would protect the strongholds while leaving the Right Arm to fend for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War's blast represented the end of the calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past ten seconds, a Corruptor and a Shield had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not even a single Extractor, besides the Right Arm, died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity had dealt a devastating blow to Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other hand, one of their most noble people was killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm had been the Champion's public face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm had shown himself in many cities, and he had been one of the most recognized people in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Right Arm had stayed in the light, while the Left Arm stayed in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was over, and both sides had lost something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, this was a trade that Aegis was willing to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Trio of Destruction knew that they had lost more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, Lust had been weaker than the Right Arm, but its effect on the world had been significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lust had been ancient, and it knew how to take control of human cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power was shared amongst the Corruptors, and it was the very reason why they were so valuable and dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any new servant would lack the experience to achieve something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the world was calming down, a red-haired Specter with luxurious clothing waltzed through the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Nick had disguised himself again before the Trio of Destruction arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he looked like a regular Specter, the Trio of Destruction wouldn't even pay him any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this calamity, Nick, was not noticed by the Trio of Destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, they didn't know that Nick existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was how it was supposed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The author's patreon.
