Chapter 1736 Numbers do not mean anything in front of absolute strength.
Silence fell over the room.
Simba and Riona both stared at Nux the moment the recording ended.
They saw the vision Nivrek shared with Arvin, they saw the abilities the Wraiths used, they saw how helpless even an Army from a Supreme World became in front of those monsters.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It would have been understandable if they had lost if the 10,000 Eternal Level Wraiths had participated, or if the beings who couldn't use their ability because of the environment had lost quickly and those Wraiths had overwhelmed them with numbers, but none of that happened. The Eternal Level Wraiths didn't move throughout the battle, not just that, even the Wraiths, who defeated their counter opponents, simply stood by and didn't attack anyone else, as if waiting for other Wraiths to defeat their respective opponents on their own.
It was as if the thought of them losing didn't even appear in their mind.
Their confidence wasn't unfounded either. Even the cultivators who cultivated Death Energy and were actually at their strongest inside Umbrasol were all overwhelmed by their opponent, and this included elites like Rudrasil.
At first, Rudrasil was holding on just fine. He even took out time to command his subordinates and lead the formations. However, the moment the Wraith facing him actually started attacking without holding back,
Things changed.
Once again, these Wraiths, in the environment, were nigh perfect-perfect damage dealers, perfect tanks, perfect assassins. Whether it was a long-ranged battle or a close-distanced one, it simply didn't matter. These Wraiths overpowered the elites of Supreme Worlds in all aspects.
It was honestly so despairing that even the Supreme World's elites gave in and stopped trying. After all, the result of the battle couldn't be any clearer.
A battle between 5000 Cultivators and 5000 Wraiths.
Result?
5000 Cultivators died.
As for Wraiths... barely a hundred of them died, and that too because they were attacked by a higher-level opponent who decided to take down at least a few Wraiths before he died.
It was pretty much a one-sided massacre.
After the battle ended and the last warrior from the Supreme World fell, the vision shifted back to Arvin's, who was still running away and trying to leave this World.
By now, the Death Energy in Umbrasol had started seeping into his body, and to prevent it from doing much damage, he was forced to use his Life Force to resist it.
As an Eternal, he had an almost endless amount of Life Force. However, the rate at which the Death Energy was devouring his Life Energy was getting faster and faster, to the point where even his endless Life Energy felt short.
Of course, Arvin still didn't give up.
Ile had pretty much reached towards the end. The exit was right in front of him, just that he could feel that other than the Deathstorms, this was the place with the densest Death Energy. Arvin could tell that in order to leave, he needed to burn more than 90% of his Life Force to create a barrier around him. If he did that, he wouldn't survive more than a few hundred years.
Honestly, Arvin wanted to wait, gather his strength, and move once he had somewhat recovered. However, the Eternal Level Wraith still hadn't stopped following him, and from the battle he saw before, it was already clear to him that there was no way he could win against that Wraith, especially in such an environment.
Actually, even if his abilities weren't restricted, Arvin highly doubted he could defeat this being. After all, this being was even stronger than the Progenitors of Umbrasol. He stood no chance.
Running away was the only thing he could do, and that was what he did. Burning his Life Force, he created a small shield around him and jolted into the Dense Death Energy Veil.
In an instant, his shield turned lighter. The rate at which the Death Energy was devouring it was much faster than he expected.
In the end, by the time he left, almost 98% of his Life Force was used up, and even then, the Death Energy had seeped deep into his body, and he couldn't recover.
His days were numbered, and he knew that.
For now, however, Arvin just sighed, then sighed in relief that the Eternal didn't follow him once he left Umbrasol.
"So those existences can only exist inside that place!
This was his conclusion.
He then momentarily closed his eyes and recovered as much as he could before he returned to his world and the recording ended.
"Do you understand why I do not want you to go to that place? That place is full of monsters you have never faced before. Any one of them can probably take you out, and you will be facing 90,000 of them.' Simba spoke with a grave look on his face.
"The numbers were only 15,000 when the video was recorded. How did it increase so much?"
Nux was curious. After all, if even the Supreme World failed, not many would have the gall to go there and sacrifice their lives in vain.
Simba was silent for a moment, then, he answered,
"Once the information was released, many mercenaries who ran after fame tried to complete the mission, but they all failed.
After around a thousand mercenaries died inside, people started hesitating.
They could tell that it was a suicide mission, but then,
One of the biggest. Mercenary Halls came up with another way.
Since they would face around 25,000 Wraiths in there, they decided to send 60,000 Elite
Mercenaries.
With advantage in numbers, they would definitely be able to clear the mission, but..."
"They all died:
Nux spoke.
Just seeing the video was enough for him to predict the result of the battle.
The Mercenaries, even if they were called 'Elites; were in the end, just that, Mercenaries. How could they be compared to Elites of Supreme Level Worlds?
If even Supreme Level World's army was overwhelmed by those Wraiths, how could mercenaries,
even if they had more numbers, compete?
Numbers do not mean anything in front of absolute strength.
