Chương 1006: 1006 Who gave you the permission to stop?

"Irata.. Irata…" Abraki shouted with his hoarse voice. He even shook the man knowing that he was severely injured. However, there was absolutely no response at all. The person he was holding was definitely dead.

"Why…" Abraki stuttered in desperation. His brain couldn't understand what was happening. One second he was alive, and the next second he was dead? How could this be possible?

After seeing so many corpses of his guild members, finding this one person alive was a spark that gave him hope, but now that was nipped in the bud itself.

This was not fair. None of it was fair.

He hugged the man's body and let out a cry of despair. Naturally, in the middle of a war, this attracted a lot of attention.

A couple of members of Crimson Abyss near the vicinity who were actively hunting down the guilds targeting them heard this noise and arrived at the spot.

But before any of them could land an attack on Abraki, Shen Yue's voice chimed in loudly.

"Leave him be. He is not an enemy."

A divine fragrance wafted past Abraki as a seductive and mesmerizing figure appeared in front of him.

"How did he die?" Shen Yue asked.

She saw that the man was only staring back at her listlessly, so she asked again.

"How did he die? I was the one who left him alive. How is he dead?"

Abraki snapped out of his trance after hearing this, but he still did not have an answer for her.

"I… don't know…" He stuttered.

"He was talking to me… just now."

Shen Yue narrowed her eyes. An uneasy feeling arose in her heart. This person should not have died.

"Ok. Get up. Staying like this here is dangerous."

She then disappeared again to hunt down the remaining men, who decided to stab them in the back using this chance.

Coincidentally, she was not the only person who noticed that something was off.

Alex stood stiff as the man she had intended to smack with her shield suddenly dropped dead all on his own.

The same thing happened to the targets Rey had his eyes on.

Old Master Ning was the first one to point out this anomaly as her voice thundered amidst the wilderness.

"Don't let your health drop!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.

After she pointed this out, everyone started noticing the weird phenomenon occurring all around them. The enemies whom they were fighting started suddenly dropping dead when their health became lower.

They did not even have to land the finishing attack. All they had to do was bring down their health, and poof, the person died!

"What the hell is happening?" Alex gritted her teeth. They had come here prepared for the ambush and the backstabbing, but this was a new twist that none of them had expected.

"We need to group back up. Call everyone here. Right now. Healers at the center." She immediately gave the orders.

When the Oracle was involved, she did not dare take anything lightly. In fact, even at the beginning of this expedition, she had this very same doubt.

Was it really prudent to be so confident when that man was pulling strings from the shadows? He knew the future, after all. Wouldn't it be better to stay out of this altogether?

But then again, someone else had only recently reminded her.

"Is possessing the knowledge of the future truly that remarkable? If the future is predetermined, our only course of action is to gain the strength necessary to mold it to our liking!"

Alex smiled at the thought of the man's arrogant words. Only he would be able to say something like that and mean it seriously.

In the end, Liam had left the matter to her to do what she thought was right, and she had made the decision to enter this war despite knowing the risks.

Alex did not make this decision lightly. She had thought about it a lot, and in the end, one main reason pushed her to do it.

Sure, this move would show the world that Crimson Abyss was not a pushover.

But that was not her main reason.

From what Liam had said, Alex could tell that he was going to be here.

He was going to once again stand against a red zone all on his own, and this time, the isons were not the only ones in the area. There were also these bloody bastards!

The ungrateful wretches were dying to bite the hand that fed them. They absolutely had no idea what all Liam had done for them so far. All they knew was some bullshit stories spun by the government guilds.

Alex's blood boiled just at the thought of those buffoons. However, they were not her concern right now. The only person who mattered was Liam!

How would that one person possibly stand against both the isons and the humans at the same time? The isons were impossible enemies, and with these buffoons back-stabbing him, what if, by chance, he was cornered?

That could not happen! The guild needed to support him at all costs!

Especially because the Oracle was involved, she had made this decision. When push comes to shove, this was a move perhaps even that man had not predicted.

She wanted to use that element of surprise to their advantage and maybe, just maybe, be ready to jump in if Liam needed their assistance.

Alex closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Strategizing was one thing, but executing the plan was entirely another thing. There was a cost to pay the moment they decided to join this war, and now it was time to pay the piper.

This war was their ultimate test!

There was only so much the guild could expect from that one person again and again. It was time they stood on their own two legs. Otherwise, they would forever remain just a burden to him.

This challenge, she was going to accept it and come out on top.

"Come on. Come on. Faster. Let's make sure none of us lose health." Alex shouted again.

"Let's move back a few paces. Only stick to the perimeter. Don't enter the red zone."

"Keep your eyes peeled. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, immediately inform the others."

"We will win this time! Let's show those fools what we are made of! We will not go down easily!"

"Don't let anyone's health fall!"

"Watch out for any stray grenades or weapons that might be firing our way! Look alive!"

While Crimson Abyss regrouped and coordinated their efforts, the same scene could be seen everywhere else in other sectors as well.

The troops who were finally advancing steadily, albeit the bumps and obstacles in their path, suddenly found themselves inexplicably thinning down.

Anyone whose health had fallen below a certain threshold was dropping dead out of nowhere. Fear and panic filled the army as no one could even begin to understand this madness.

What was happening? Who was killing them? Was this some sort of new magic unleashed by the bizarre insects?

Already the insects they were up against were extremely overpowered, and now on top of that, this strange incident was enough to push the men into desperation.

The battle almost came to a standstill as no one dared to take another step forward, afraid that they might also inexplicably drop dead.

However, how could things be so easy?

When the troops refused to move and stood transfixed, the two Generals leading the battalion finally made their moves!

The two Level 50 experts snorted coldly and raised their weapons, but this time it was not against the isons. It was against their own men!

"Who gave you the permission to stop? Continue moving forward or else…"
