Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Chaos Explosives
Sacred Kirin\'s Blessing (S),
enhancing their overall combat prowess fivefold. The surge of power coursed through each of them, even in their shadow forms. They marveled at the skill\'s effectiveness—it was undoubtedly divine.
To be able to amplify combat strength so significantly was no ordinary feat.
In his long Shadow Monarch form, Aengus observed their reactions silently. Without a word, he invoked Space Laws, instantly transporting the entire team across the barrier, seamlessly tearing through the spatial fabric without triggering the barrier\'s defenses.
"Huh? We made it." They whispered with shock and awe.
Though they were reveling in their success, they didn\'t forget the plan.
According to the plan, they activated their individual enhancement and stealth skills, making themselves even more untraceable.
For added security, Aengus activated
Barrier of Chaos (A)
, rendering them invisible on a small scale individually. This was the same skill that had even tricked the Beast Lord with its incredible illusions, so its effectiveness was undeniable.
"Okay, Let\'s move!" Aengus commanded as he advanced, his gaze fixed on the enemy.
Suppressing their curiosity, the team followed him, struggling to match Aengus\'s speed, which was no easy feat.
The Imperial forces had already set up temporary camps across a vast field where large warships could be seen. Millions of soldiers were gathered around thousands of campfires, their expressions vigilant.
Aengus and his team stopped behind an enemy tent, moving like the night\'s chilly breeze, their presence completely untraceable.
Aengus quickly produced several destructive bombs made from World Corrosive Venom and Chaos Elemental Particles. He handed each of them at least ten of these destructive Chaos Venom Orbs. Each one had cost him 500 Origin Mana, making the power within immense.
They held the orbs, feeling a shiver of fear as they sensed the raw, destructive energy contained within. The orbs were dense, vibrating with chaotic energy as though they could explode at any moment.
Even the Northern Duke felt a tinge of fear as he held onto these orbs, their multicolored destructive energy swirling ominously. He could detect Chaotic Elements and Deadly Venom inside. If this hit him somehow, he would get serious injury for sure.
He glanced at Aengus with newfound apprehension, realizing that making enemy of this young man would be a grave mistake for anyone who valued their life.
After distributing the orbs, Aengus spoke calmly, "Now, go and place them in their critical military bases, resource areas, and anywhere the enemy is heavily gathered.
He spoke as though it were a simple task. But it wasn\'t. This mission meant killing hundreds of thousands of humans.
Why was he so calm? Was he not afraid of the wrath of the gods?
Aengus noticed their hesitation and looked at them, feigning obliviousness. "What? Let\'s get moving. You all have 10 minutes before the Shadown Form, Enhancement and Illusion Barrier disappear from your body." he warned seriously.
"Ah, okay, Captain!" they replied, humbling themselves before his command. They knew this was their only path to victory, and the burden of these sins would be shared among themselves.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
They spread out in all directions in their shadow forms, using the darkness to their advantage.
Aengus turned his attention to a group of soldiers sitting around a campfire, making them his first target.
"Ahh, when is this wait going to end? I want to kill somebody!" one soldier grumbled, his bloodthirsty voice echoing near the campfire.
Their shadows danced with the wind as they spoke.
"Just a few more minutes, guys. I heard we\'re launching our attack at midnight!" another soldier announced with a wild grin.
"What if they attack first, Captain?" a soldier asked, fear creeping into his voice.
"Haha… they wouldn\'t dare. Besides, we have Lord Halton\'s protection. He\'s cast surveillance and defensive barriers all over this area. If any of them try to infiltrate, they\'ll be caught immediately," the captain replied with confidence.
"Yes, Lord Halton is mighty. We should be grateful to him," the others sighed in relief.
Aengus slipped into one of the enemy tents, placing a Chaos Orb in a hidden location.
Swoosh!
He took a final glance at the unsuspecting soldiers, silently offering a prayer for their journey after death, before vanishing from that camp.
"Who\'s there?" one soldier muttered, his instincts kicking in as a chill ran down his spine. He glanced around fearfully, his skin prickling with a sense of impending doom.
His fellow soldiers shot him displeased looks, irritated by his sudden outburst. "Did you guys not hear something?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.
They frowned, dismissing his anxiety as nothing more than fart. "No, we didn\'t hear anything. Stop being a killjoy and let us enjoy the moment."
His companions shrugged it off, making a disgusting face.
The unsettled soldier looked around, confusion and dread filling his gaze as the tingling sensation persisted, warning him of something terrible.
But, as fate would have it, his foreboding feelings were of no use; some destinies are inevitable.

Aengus moved stealthily in his shadow form, his target set on the enemy warships. These were no ordinary vessels; over a hundred massive warships loomed above, each equipped with powerful magical cannons.
Their sheer size and firepower could easily determine the outcome of the war if left intact.
Standing at the base of one warship, Aengus tilted his gaze upward, marveling at its scale. The vessel towered at least 500 meters from the ground, its colossal weight likely tens of thousands of tons. It was a marvel of engineering and magic alike—an enormous weapon designed to dominate the skies.
"Whoosh!"
Aengus jumped up, reaching hundreds of meters in height with a single leap.
He felt the chilly wind brushing past him gently, choosing a dark spot to land.
He looked down to find himself on top of one of the cannon\'s heads, smelling the destructiveness of gunpowder and magic.
