"My lord …" When Siacis saw Sky Lord again, he could not believe his eyes.
He was dripping wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He looked extremely exhausted, and there were wounds all over his body. Half of his armor was stained with blue blood, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
The Parasitic Eye Demon that followed the grand lord was nowhere to be found. As the most sensitive sentinel, it was only useful when it was beside a grand lord. The current situation could only mean that the Eye Demon had most likely met with misfortune.
If the opponent was from the Sky-sea Realm, such a scene could be understood, but the opponent was clearly those insects — humans.
Hackzord was in no mood to explain. He grabbed his subordinate and dragged him into the Distortion Door.
The next moment, they were back in the Red Mist Zone.
"Lord Sky Lord, the warriors on the island —" Siacis quickly reacted, and his expression changed. Although the sudden explosion in the city had caused the vanguard to suffer heavy losses, at least a portion of them had survived. Their departure was equivalent to abandoning all of them on Archduke Island.
Furthermore, there was a limit to the amount of Red Mist the vanguard could carry, and they would not last more than a few days.
"I can no longer open a new door." Hackzord's words caused the high-ranked psionic warlock to shut his mouth. At any time, the value of a Primal Demon was far inferior to a grand lord. Given the two evils, there was no need to think too much about the choice.
"I will escort you back to Sky City."
"Inform Totolock first. Let the humans use sailboats to bring back the vanguard on the island. Bring as many as you can. As for the Symbiotic Demons, let them hide where they are. " Sky Lord gritted his teeth. "Once the Red Mist covers Archduke Island, the main force will immediately launch an attack on Sedimentation Bay and other places. The two of you will be in charge of the battle!"
"My lord … isn't this a little too hasty?" Siacis asked in surprise. "It won't be too late to attack after you recover from your injuries —"
"This is my order, you don't have to say anything else!"
"Yes, I've overstepped." He hurriedly lowered his head. "As you wish!"
Watching his subordinate leave, Hackzord clenched his remaining hand tightly.
How could he not know that this was a little hasty? However, it was better than letting the humans drag things out. For the first time, the Sky Lord realized that time was not on their side. The speed at which the humans absorbed the inheritance was faster than he had imagined. Within a year, the humans could threaten a senior lord with just a few witches and magicless males. What would happen in a few years?
They could not give the humans any chance to breathe!
The Western Front must be back on track!
Several days later, Hackzord finally returned to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. Currently, this place was filled with dense red mist. Just by staying here, he could feel his spirit improving, and the pain from his palms had lessened significantly.
It went straight to the Red Mist Pond at the bottom of the Birth Tower.
Looking at the motionless Nightmare Lord, the Sky Lord was instantly infuriated. If she had not been immersed in the Realm of Mind, he would not have ended up in such a sorry state.
Everything should not have turned out this way!
If he had focused on relocating his troops, the advancement of the frontline would not have been so slow. If the Nightmare Lord had led the troops to fight, none of the Graycastle soldiers would have been able to escape the Northern Lands! Then, while the humans were panicking, he would launch a frontal attack. At the same time, he would lead the troops from the west to attack the Hermes Plateau. This was the Western Front's strategy!
Although he was angry, when it came to pulling the Nightmare Lord out of the Realm of Mind, Hackzord revealed a look of hesitation.
After all, the Nightmare Lord was an existence that he could only look up to in the past.
In fact … he had once thought that the Nightmare Lord would become the king of his race.
No, no, no … Hackzord shook his head. He was loyal to the king, but this was just an ignorant thought he had when he participated in the promotion ceremony. In terms of level, the Nightmare Lord was essentially no different from him.
At most … he would have a deeper understanding of the Realm of Mind.
He made up his mind.
This might hurt the Nightmare Lord's memory, and it might cause him to go into a rage of Thunder. It might even cut off the clues to the mystery of the human's promotion, but that was not as important as the war on the Western Front.
At most, he would stand on Silent Disaster's side during the Holy See meeting and admit to the promotion theory. As for where the legacy shard came from, he could research it after the victory. As long as he could devour the human's legacy shard, then everything they had now would become a stepping stone for their race!
With this in mind, Hackzord took a deep breath and suddenly pushed the Nightmare Lord.
The magic in his palm would break the connection between the Nightmare Lord and the Realm of Mind, pulling it out of the Origin of Magic —
In theory, that was the case.
However, the Nightmare Lord did not open its eyes. Its body fell to the side like an empty shell in the Red Mist Pond.
Hackzord instantly felt fear choking his throat!
Even when its consciousness was almost destroyed by the uncontrollable magic during the promotion ceremony, or when it was ambushed by the Sky-sea Realm, it had never been so frightened!
He took a step forward and helped the Nightmare Lord up. He tried to capture its consciousness, but all he got was emptiness …
Life did not end, but eternal slumber. This was the characteristic of being lost in the Realm of Mind. And once one sank into the endless red sea, there was no possibility of returning. Even if one could maintain a moment of lucidity, it would sooner or later be eroded by the chaotic consciousness until it became a part of the Realm of Mind.
Sky Lord's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
This meant that they had lost the Nightmare Lord!
How did this happen?
With the Nightmare Lord's ability, as long as it acted cautiously and did not make any mistakes, it should not have been trapped in the Realm of Mind!
What exactly did it encounter during its exploration?
Sky Lord did not dare to think any further. He got up and ran to the top of the tower, even throwing his injuries to the back of his mind.
He had to inform the King of this news immediately.
The situation on the Western Front had changed drastically!

"How's everyone's recovery?"
In the command post at Cage Mountain, Iron Axe looked at Agatha and asked with concern.
"With Nana around, what problem can there be?" The latter put away the Sigil of Listening and shook her head with a smile. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. "According to Vendy, Maggie recovered to the extent of being alive and kicking on the same day, while Lightning only recovered the next day. Both of them have now resumed patrolling the front lines. The only regret is that I did not participate in this ambush. "
"We were taking a risk after all … Besides, in order to carry that giant flintlock, even the seats on the 'Seagull' were completely dismantled, not to mention carrying an extra person." Iron Axe also smiled. "I thought your regret would be not being able to kill that Senior Demon in one fell swoop."
"To be able to defeat a Senior Lord with such a lineup is already an impressive victory." Agatha turned to the Pearl of the Northern Region and placed her hand on her chest. "I underestimated you in the past, and reality has proven that it was indeed a mistake. Other than His Majesty, there are many outstanding people among the Magicless Ones who should not be underestimated."
Edith accepted the bow calmly. As the person who planned the entire ambush, she didn't need to show any modesty at this time.
