Abyss Draconis

Chapter 267: The Unknown Entrance

"Our satellite communications have been canceled. All connections to the area have been shut down!"

"What the fuck!?"

"The drones have been destroyed. All of them!?"

An angered voice thundered from a group seated around a round table, eyes locking onto the huge figure who stood at the head, a device pressed to his ear, which he roared into.

A large hologram had previously taken up the majority of the room, but it was now down, crackling with a myriad of lights as if it had been broken.

"But sir, the trackers placed on the human ships show that they have appeared in the Thunder Waters. That doesn’t make sense! One second, they were on the battlefield, and now it shows they are 1,000 miles away from it. Such speed is beyond the power of their aircraft in such an amount of time."

"It’s like... it’s like they’ve been moved! And so fast too!"

"Tch!"

The man, a burly Titan standing at about 3.5 meters in height, clicked his tongue as he threw the device in his hands against the wall, sending it splattering apart, reduced to nothing but ashes.

"Just when the true fun was about to happen?"

A female voice rang coquettishly in the background, coming from a lady dressed in crimson red robes, her sharp ears and red eyes making it clear at first glance—she was a vampire.

"Well, what to do? We’ve lost connection to the battlefield, and the soldiers have been sent away. Should we be worried about Knulls running amok amongst Grade B right now? It will only take about an hour or so before they reach the nearest settlement... and bring ruin upon it."

A man with long green hair and pointed ears—an elf—called the group’s attention from his seat at the high table.

"Or," he continued, "we might start by thinking about how all of this went south?"

The Titan man took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening. Silence descended in the room before he began.

"According to the reports... the drones have been destroyed. All of them. And just so you know, those drones are some of the most powerful we have. All A-grade, equipped with the best defense technology against threats that might try to tamper with them."

"Well, if none of our warriors are responsible... then just who? What other expert with such power could have interfered?"

"We need someone to go to that battlefield and bring us information on our guest. Now!"

The Titan man slammed his hand on the table, sending cracks across the gem-like surface. Immediately, one of the leaders tapped on her device before saying,

"I’ve sent two of our most powerful spy scouts to the area. It will take them about twenty minutes to get there."

"Hopefully, our unnamed guest will still be there in twenty minutes..."

The Titan man’s voice was low, and the room descended into silence once more, yet a palpable pressure lingered in the air.

This scene... this scenario of pushing the humans to the front lines of battle against the Knulls was what they had been planning for years.

Everything had seemed to go perfectly, and they had ensured thorough preparation to watch this fight and access the Knulls power level.

Only for their plan to come crashing down to embers.

And what was worse?

They had no idea who was responsible for such an interference. Except that he was on the side of the humans.

There was a chance of another war brewing, with such a powerful force not being on their side... and lurking in the shadows.

’This is troublesome. Very troublesome...’

That thought echoed in all of the leaders’ minds as each of them began typing into their communicator devices, sending various orders to their families.

The war with the Knulls had begun.

And now... there was a new presence in the game!
