BXBX NOVEL Chapter 426 - Planetary Invasion ( 4 )
The Imperial Prince of the Meredith Empire… He is someone that even most of the citizens of the Empire had never seen.
The members of the Imperial Family had seldom shown their faces to the public. Only when it\'s time of crisis they would normally appear.
Aside from that, there are cases that if they plan to conqueror a planet, they wouldn\'t even participate and will just let their trusted subordinates do it for them.
However, Wallace is now facing one of the members of the Imperial Clan!
Though he\'s unsure which prince was this guy, he recognizes their feature.
The man has white hair and green eyes, a feature of a pure-blooded Imperial descent, unlike Prince Zamphail…
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Wallace suddenly noticed that they\'re walking away!
"Hey! Aren\'t you going to say something?! Why did you even come here?... Wait-Why did you capture me in the first place?!"
He thought that he could get some information from them but unfortunately, they have decided to walk away after observing him for a while!
Wallace was a bit flustered by that. He was already prepared on what to say and made several scenarios in his head.
\'Ugh… Nevermind… Let\'s wait for now and see their plan…\'
Though he might seem bragging, he knows that he could escape here if he really wanted to. The empire might have powerful weapons or technology, but it doesn\'t matter since he has some Mana Spells that defies logic.
"Hey! Are you not going to feed me?!" Wallace asked after waiting for about an hour.
He thought that they must be observing his every action so he decided to call out. Whether they responded or not, it wouldn\'t matter.
He waited for half an hour but nothing happened.
\'Well, this prison room is indeed filled with traps and powerful barriers. So it is probably not that easy to send some food for me…\' Wallace made an excuse for the alien as silently sat on the floor.
Now that he realized that no one if planning to disturb him here, Wallace decided to investigate the whole Imperial Flagship…
Divine Sense…
It is truly a powerful ability and completely different from the Artifact\'s abilities that can be created by the Magic Engineers.
The Divine Sense lives up to its name as it helps him analyze his surroundings and feel the presence of life around him.
\'Hmm… Their barrier managed to block my senses as expected… However, it\'s not enough!\'
Wallace mused as he continued increasing the intensity of his ability.
Soon, his Divine Sense can finally come out of his prison. It\'s a good thing that no one can actually notice what he was doing thanks to their carelessness.
\'Are they thinking that I\'m not aware of how magic works?\' Wallace suddenly had an idea. Since the Empire has fought against the magicians already, they should suspect that Wallace knows a thing or two about magic.
Nevertheless, they had probably put too much trust in their barrier…
\'Let\'s see… Five Imperial Soldiers… Eight... Twelve… Fifteen…\' Wallace counted the nearby enemies. He didn\'t sense any Khrusams which he finds weird at first.
However, as he expands his Divine Sense, he found three Terubs guarding not too far from his room! They are in a triangle position and ready to take him on if he ever managed to break out of his room.
\'Ugh… Since I\'m captured by a single Terub, shouldn\'t they maintain that number? Why would they suddenly increase…\' Wallace thought as he continued scanning the surroundings.
However, he noticed that there are many places or rooms where his Divine Sense couldn\'t penetrate!
Perhaps the energy in that place is too chaotic or they truly have a special device that can block his ability that they are also unaware of.
\'Wait… Is that--?!"
Wallace finally found another Major Race that hasn\'t acted yet since the beginning!
"Yorian Race! They\'ve come here…" The young man couldn\'t help but be surprised. The Yorians are largely an Aquatic Race!
They wouldn\'t normally leave their planet which is covered mostly by water. Even though they have done it a few times through the empire\'s help, it wouldn\'t be such a long journey!
Aside from that, the advancement of their race is largely through the help of the Empire… Perhaps, their race would just be happy living on their planet as large as the Earth\'s Sun if the Empire did not coerce them to conquer a few more planets largely covered by water.
"Anyway… It\'s a good decision for them since this planet\'s sea is still not being explored." Wallace muttered after sensing the intelligent aquatic race.
There\'s quite a number of them but they are not that difficult to deal with. They would just normally rely on guns and other advanced tech weapons to fight on land.
However, they would become dangerous once the fight was brought in water.
There was no way that the magicians or even Grand Sages could win against them if they are in their territory.
Perhaps, only those with Secret Arts or Arcana would be capable of dealing with them.
\'Hmm… It\'s good that there are only Yorians… But… what\'s this?\'
Wallace suddenly noticed a large room like a hangar within the Flagship.
He thought that he would sense some Mech Frames or Destroyers inside… However, he found a huge sleeping creature tied by several huge chains!
There was no way he could mistake this! His divine sense can sense the life of his target! He knows that it\'s still alive!
\'They really brought a space beast here?! Crazy! This would be a disaster… Is this really an invasion?! Or are they planning to destroy this planet?!\'
Wallace doesn\'t need Avalon\'s calculation ability to realize the problem that this could result in. The Imperial Flagship is huge and perhaps, 50 times larger than his Excellence… He wouldn\'t be surprised if there are five or so tentacled Space Beasts inside!
Anyway, it\'s a good thing that they are still not being taken outside.
Perhaps, this creature was also experiencing Mana Suffocation…
If that is the truth, they really have to stop the Empire from collecting those Memory Crystals!
"I can\'t stay here any longer… I need to get out…"
Wallace canceled his Divine Sense and stood up.
He\'s planning to use everything he had to escape here…
However, as soon as he was about to use his Void Phase, he heard a voice in his head. The Celestial Being is looking for him!
