All the attacks were aimed at the ten energy balls in the air.
But out of all of those attacks, Sonic cat stood out. It first ran deeper into the estate to find the central point of all these ten balls.
As it riled its energy up, it looked at the sky and leaped upwards.
A large ripple of energy escaped its body with whistling sounds as it spread like a large circular ring.
It froze after it spread until it covered all of the ten balls and moved upwards along with the cat.
The ring clashed with the ten energy balls before they could even touch the crystal dome. But even with that impact between them, the crystal dome was destroyed just from the sheer aftershock.
The remaining powerhouses used all of their strength to combat the energy balls.
Cray who is sitting in the camp felt his veins popping. His nose started bleeding and his face turned red all at the same time.
His brain felt like it is being pounded by a thousand artisans and their sledgehammers all at the same time. Breathing became harder. The blood circulation of his body is not going on properly.
His brain function is completely occupied by the attack that the rest of the body is not working properly. His brain is not passing commands to the rest of the organs to make them do their work properly.
But he just gritted his teeth and went on to push the attack.
The clash of the ring aided by the attacks of the other powerhouses made the energy balls slowly disperse some of the souls from it.
They moved toward the people in the clan. But the soldiers and elders that are all already beaten down with the light energy until now, brought themselves up as they attacked the stray souls coming at them.
Almost all of the clan is clashing with these attacks and only then did they see some chance of destroying it.
The only problem is the collateral damage that is happening.
The collateral damage of the crystal dome formation that is. The formation started collapsing as the clash continued for a certain amount of time. The operators inside immediately contacted Sam.
“Boss, the formation is not stable anymore. The crystal dome nodes are going down. We cannot hold it up for now.”
“Let it collapse. But don’t disable it until the last minute.”
“Sam decisively answered.
“But what about the defense later? We won’t have any other defensive measure if the crystal dome goes away. The other party powerhouses might just directly attack us.”
“You let me worry about it. Currently, all you have to do is make sure that the crystal dome does the best it can in this precarious situation.”
The crystal dome is operated at full power.
The clan continuously pushed the attacks back.
Cray who is operating the souls from the other side started feeling the burden. The mechanism of the formation within the light chamber is not enough to maintain the attack with just his soul and mental energy anymore.
The burden is becoming too much for him to bear and the fact that he had to use ten attacks all at the same time, is extremely tough in itself.
Cray’s fingers suddenly moved and a crystal bottle came out of the spatial storage. He opened the bottle slowly with shaky hands a small dark orb appeared out of it.
The orb wanted to escape immediately. But with just a wave of his hand, some runes activated and made sure that the orb stayed in his hand.
Cray opened his mouth with the utmost difficulty. As soon as he swallowed that, the veins eased upon his forehead a bit and excessive soul energy surged through his body before entering his head.
Sivan who is sitting in the room was dumbfounded by the sudden change.
But he also noticed that the attacks are going against the city with new vigor.
The sonic cat pushed the attack back as it kicked in the air.
But the new surge of energy made it hard for him to keep his cool anymore.
It opened its mouth in frustration and anger as it coldly looked at the ten attacks.
Energy surged wildly and the powerhouses who are also pushing the attacks back were stunned by this new surge of energy.
The energy ring started changing bit by bit, but the cat seemed to be going through some very highly stressful change.
“Is it really necessary? Did it come to this?”
Sam asked as he looked at the cat. He is reluctant and unwilling to let this go this far. This is way too much of a price and he is sure that Gail will regret it for the rest of their life if Cat went through this step.
“Please do it, Gail. Do it quick. You won’t be able to forgive yourself.”
Sam muttered and all of a sudden. All of the energy balls in the air disappeared. All the powerhouse felt like they woke up from a dream. The energy balls that are supposed to be there were suddenly gone leaving behind a single energy ripple.
It clashed with the dome and destroyed the formation before it also disappeared.
The cat immediately stopped the attack and landed on the ground. It felt relieved and the next second it also felt a bit exhausting. It sat on the ground normally as it looked in the direction of the Mari clan’s camp calmly.
The other powerhouses also landed in disbelief. They didn’t even know what happened. But they are definitely relieved by this sudden progression.
“Are you all okay?”
All of a sudden, Sam’s communication token was alerted and Gail’s voice came in.
Sam came out his surprise and spoke in delight.
“Yes, we are all okay. We are saved by you. Great job.”
“Sorry for the delay.”
“You were right on time.”
Sam said with excitement as he turned to the cat.
“Gail is back. Thank you for your contribution. Thank you so much. You can rest for now.”
He turned around and started running while he contacted the operators.
“All operators of the domes. The crystal dome collapsed. From now on we are going offensive. Get the puppets ready. Activate the energy domes. We will be launching an attack soon. Get ready.”
“Yes, Sir.”
He then contacted Ma again.
“Senior elder Ma, how is the medicine distribution going on?”
“We covered half of the clan. That is good. Please speed it up if you can though. We will be going to offensive now.”
“So, you are finally sick of tackling your own abominations that you call inventions?”
“In a way, yes.”
“Good, let’s see how your inventions in the Gaja clan will fare against the ones that were done before. I am really looking forward to it.”
“I am sure you will be excited by the outcome.”
Sam cut the call and contacted the guards on the wall. He started passing orders. Meanwhile, at the same time.
In the camp of the Mari clan.
Cray was stuck on the spot. His body is not moving and he even stopped breathing. Sivan started panicking as he looked at him. He also looked at the remote formation in front of them and noticed something.
The formation core is not active.
He immediately understood what happened.
Currently, Cray’s soul which is connected to the formation must have taken the backlash of the attack that was supposed to land on the city.
He made some changes in the remote formation and immediately kicked Cray on the side.
Cray flew across the room like a ragdoll. He crashed into the wall and opened his eyes.
“*COUGH* *COUGH*
He coughed up blood and could barely see. His eyes and nose started bleeding and h felt dead tired because of the headache.
He looked at Sivan and didn’t even know what he is doing for now.
But all of a sudden it hit him and tried to sit up.
Sivan walked up to him and helped him sit.
“How are you feeling?”
“I.. I..”
“You are saved by the formation mechanism. You shouldn’t have pushed it too far.”
Sivan said as he gave him something to drink before he looked at the remote formation.
“It seems like your friends have failed. The formation core is destroyed.”
“Of course they did. It is not easy to destroy Gail, but who is that other entity that stopped our the attack. Did you see it?”
“No, I didn’t it is way too bright to be visible. But that person really did save the Gaja clan in a way. We need to be wary now.”
“Of course, we need to be. The massive crystal dome is destroyed though. You can launch your next attack immediately.
I think you will gain some advantage now.”
“Knowing Sam, I highly doubt it. I might have even prompted that guy to attack.
He might just go offensive now.”
“Then you can try and use that cunning brain of yours and try to make it advantageous to you.”
