Chapter 413: Target
"Someone has to kill her... that will decrease his ability to recover and also will enrage him," Joanis thought. "After that, he will make enough mistakes... to make sure that he will fall, I will have to sacrifice ten of them at least all at once."
Joanis kept his soldiers away from the first conflict since the Frontline had shields that were highly resistant against magic, and he assumed that it would be enough... Still, Rain's presence would affect his plans.
"Perhaps I should have considered a better plan to get him and Branden on our side and then deal with them later," Joanis thought. "Revan's jealousy made me think that I had to gain his support by doing whatever was necessary."
After arriving at his tent, he recalled some of his soldiers and told him what they should do... despite the insane order, the soldiers didn't even blink. Once the soldiers left, Joanis couldn't help but think about the next step, and his main focus came to be Rain... even though he had confidence in his plan, he also felt like he had to come up with a plan B just in case.
"Sealing his magic didn't work... my watchdog on the island was defeated by him as well, even though magic didn't work against him," Joanis rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I suppose I will have to use someone that is also highly balanced like him... or just wait for the right opportunity."

The soldiers in the human army were starting to get impatient... whenever they tried to get too close, they would be blasted away by an unknown force... There were many reasons for that. The main reason was the fact that their formation was too tight... They wanted to enter the capital through the main path, which was a long stone and diagonal ladder.
Only around fifty people could cross it at the same time... and they wanted to reach the council as fast as possible.
While they didn't want to go all out from the beginning, they wanted to make the enemies think that they will once the opening is shown.
In any case, the other reason was Rain... when the humans began to move again, the martial artists readied themselves and then Rain used Impulse and made the martial artists kick the ground as well... in the next moment, they hit the shields of the enemies with a body slam.
The human soldiers moved cautiously across the uneven terrain, their boots sinking into the soft earth with each step. Little did they know that beneath the surface, a treacherous trap lay in wait. As they advanced, the ground they tread upon began to betray them, yielding to the weight of their armored bodies... or so they thought.
With an ominous rumble, the earth gave way beneath the soldiers, creating yawning chasms that seemed to appear out of nowhere. One by one, they tumbled into these sudden pits, their startled cries filling the air as they plummeted into the darkness below. Read exclusive chapters at m_v-l'-novelhall.net
The once-stable ground now crumbled and shifted, swallowing the soldiers into its depths. It was a harrowing sight as the very earth itself seemed to conspire against them, leaving them to struggle and claw their way out of the unexpected chasms that had materialized beneath their feet.
Before long, the soldiers stopped moving since some fifty-meter-long holes were blocking their path, and with their heavy gear, they couldn't jump those long distances...
Amidst the darkness of the holes, the humans flinched since they couldn't cross it, and they didn't know for how long they were, and as if that wasn't enough, they began to hear the screams of their allies being killed.

"I helped them create those, but I didn't expect that I would still gain experience..." Rain thought.
