The spectators, nobles and commoners alike, craned their necks upward, their murmurs and gasps filled the empty battlefield.
“They disappeared… God, they really went inside the War Ground,” someone whispered in a tone of disbelief.
“The Frost family did the impossible!” another shouted in awe.
The screen displayed the breathtaking moment when Kent, his Dragon Lion Bow glowing with godlike radiance, breached the gates of the War Ground. The explosion of red flames seemed to leap out of the screen, and the Frost army’s needle formation surged forward like an unstoppable spear.
Within moments, the entire army vanished into the crimson depths of the War Ground.
“What precision… what power! He made those two big families look like fools!” A merchant exclaimed, clutching his chest.
“Stop blaming them! Who would’ve expected one arrow to obliterate the gate?” a noblewoman replied, fanning herself furiously.
Even as the Stick and Doom families scrambled to catch Kent, their forces tripping over one another in desperation, the aurora screen shifted, revealing Kent’s Frost army deep within the War Ground.
Spectators were surprised by the visuals of war ground of gods. The ground littered with white bones, crimson weeds and blood sucking worms.

“Princess Sony, what the hell are you doing? ” Maxwell, the first prince of the royal family, cried out in anger. In a fit of frustration, he slammed his fist on his armrest, glaring at the screen.
Moments later, he took the glass orb and sent a communication request to Sony Stick.
By the time she accepted the communication, Max’s face was already red with fury.
“Sony! How the hell did you let him inside? Go and kill that bastard Kent! I gave you weapons powerful enough to crush entire armies—why didn’t you use them?”
“How can I use such devastating weapons against the man I want to marry?” Sony shot back in offence.
“For heaven’s sake! That man is more dangerous than you think. You can marry him after breaking his ego. Right now, you need to focus. Deploy the Lion Artillery and the Mana Boulders! If you hesitate any longer, the Frost family will dominate the War Ground, and we’ll lose everything! Then, you can only cry in agony.” Maxwell spoke in a frustrated tone.
There was a pause before Sony spoke again, her voice cold and decisive. “Fine. But don’t expect me to kill him. I also want to see if he’s worthy of my attention.”
The communication ended, and Sony barked orders to her commanders. “Prepare the Lion artillary! Load the Mana Boulders! Double-check the formations. I want every mage ready to strike!”
But the screen above betrayed a different reality. The Frost army was already deep inside the War Ground, moving with unrelenting speed. Kent’s golden throne hovered at the front of the formation.
“Slow down,” Kent commanded, raising a hand. The Frost soldiers immediately complied.
“We’re not here to fight aimlessly. Our goal is the enchanted sphere. Use your senses and search! If you see any enemy, get back in formation. Understand?” Kent shouted as he rose high on his throne.
“Ahhuuu…” Immediately everyone moved strategically.
The enchanted sphere, a legendary artefact with a will of its own, isn’t easy to grab. It was said to appear only after the War Ground’s battles were settled, but Kent had no intention of waiting.
With a flick of his wrist, Kent summoned his Divine Chakr*, a radiant disc that hummed with divine energy.
“Find it,” he murmured.
The Chakra shot into the air, spinning like a comet as it scoured the landscape. Its light danced across the aurora screen, drawing gasps from the spectators.
“What is that? Some sort of divine artefact?” a scholar speculated aloud.
“A tracking spell!” another guessed. “He’s going straight for the enchanted sphere!”
The Chakra’s movements became erratic as it zeroed in on the sphere’s presence. The enchanted sphere, sensing the threat, darted through the battlefield.
To protect itself, the enchanted sphere intentionally moved between the ranks of the Stick and Doom families.
“Look! Over there!” a commander of the Stick family shouted as the sphere zipped past their forces.
“Grab it! Don’t let it escape!” Sony shouted to her capacity.
The Stick and Doom family soldiers, who had been locked in combat moments ago, suddenly abandoned their fights to chase after the glowing sphere.
The battlefield became a frenzy of movement. Soldiers from every faction and 32 nation armies scrambled to follow the sphere, pushing and shoving in their desperation.
Onlookers outside the War Ground erupted into cheers and laughter as they watched the chaotic pursuit.
“Look at them! Like ants chasing a crumb!” a merchant jeered.
“Fools,” a general muttered, shaking his head. “None of them realise golden Chakra is leading the sphere right into Kent’s hands.”
And indeed, that was exactly what happened. The Divine Chakra swirled around the sphere, nudging and herding it like a predator cornering its prey. As the sphere tried to evade, it inadvertently moved closer and closer to Kent.
At last, with a flash of golden light, the sphere was forced into Kent’s grasp. He caught it mid-air, his grip firm and triumphant. The aurora screen captured the moment in vivid detail, and the crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
“He did it! Kent has the enchanted sphere!”
But the celebration was short-lived.
“Stop him!” Sony’s voice rang out like a whip. “Do not let him escape! Ready the Lion Artillery! Load the Mana Boulders!”
The Stick family forces rallied, their massive artillery pieces aiming toward Kent. The Doom family joined in, their mages preparing devastating spells.
All the armies began surrounding Kent. Spectators stood up from their seats in anxiety.
“The Frost family is done! How stupid! Arrogance will only lead Kent to death.” Several nobles whispered in smiles.
The Stick family supporters began mocking others with triumphant smiles. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
