Chapter 2096 Shield
“Let’s see how many attacks you can block,” Sleepless Duke shouted . The other Night Ghosts began to cackle, gathering up a force of ghost air .
Han Sen had raised a single shield against an entire army . Sleepless Duke thought he must have a death wish .
When the three defenders had been actively fighting, the Dukes and Marquises were unable to gather up power . There was too much danger that their attacks would hit other Night Ghosts, so they intentionally weakened their attacks .
But now, the three of them had made themselves into an incredibly tempting target . The Night Ghosts gathered up all the power they had, then focused on a single part of the shield . Not even strong creatures could withstand the strength of what was coming .
Sleepless Duke had a plan . She needed to take Han Sen and Lone Bamboo as hostages . If she did that, she’d have an even easier time getting through Sky Palace’s defenses .
Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were important to Sky Palace . They wouldn’t be sacrificed easily .
The roiling mass of ghost air covered the sky now, and it was trying to consume the blue light . It was like the world was about to be consumed .
Boom!
When the ghost air landed, the entire base was annihilated . The construct was practically vaporized .
A thousand Dukes and ten thousand Marquises were attacking simultaneously . The area was brought to ruin, and the power continued down into the ground, creating a substantial crater .
Under a scary power such as that, even a Duke would have been blown to bits .
When the dust settled, Sleepless Duke and the Night Ghosts could only stare . Kahn’s eyes were full of surprise .
A blue translucent shield sat on the ground, appearing unblemished . Han Sen and the other two stood inside, uninjured by the attack . It was hard to believe that such a frightening amount of power could descend upon that simple shield and leave it undamaged .
“Is that all the power the Night Ghosts have?” Han Sen asked casually .
“Let’s see how well you can block this,” Sleepless Duke screamed . The Night Ghosts gathered up another enormous mass of ghost air . They became angry ghosts that descended on the blue shield .
Countless ghost airs slammed repeatedly into the blue shield . Even the nearby mountains were shattered by these attacks .
But the blue shield did not even shudder or shake . Even the ghost airs that could destroy mountains were reduced to a firework-sparkle against it .
Sleepless Duke kept on screaming . Thousands of Night Ghosts kept attacking from all angles, but still, they could not undo the blue shield .
Han Sen floated in the shield, while Lone Bamboo had sat down for a bit of rest . The man was in the middle of healing himself .
Sleepless Duke’s face was white with fury, and she was unable to fathom what sort of treasure Han Sen had brought with him . It could block each and every attack that was thrown at it .
Han Sen’s treasure wouldn’t actually cost him his power, either . If it did, he would have reacted in some way when the Night Ghosts attacked him .
You guys can continue . ” Han Sen looked entirely unconcerned . It was as if nothing was going on . Han Sen stood up and stretched, and then he began walking up into the air . It looked as if he was going to walk off the planet, right into space .
The blue shield around Han Sen was like a godlight . It continued to encase Han Sen, unwavering in the slightest .
“Kill him!” Sleepless Duke’s scream became a roar .
Countless Night Ghosts tried to attack Han Sen, and ghost airs hit the blue shield continuously . Some Night Ghosts used knives, and some used claws or even hammers to attack .
But even so, the attacks were still useless . They couldn’t prevent Han Sen from walking off into space . The attacks against the blue shield were like nothing at all . They couldn’t even make the shielding orb shake .
Sleepless Duke had bared her teeth in a grimace as she tried her hardest to attack the blue shield . Her fingers started to bleed, but even so, she was still unable to bring it down .
She felt scared . Powerless . And most of all, she felt hopeless . She knew what would happen if Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were able to escape; it would be a disaster for the Night Ghosts . But they couldn’t do anything against the blue shield . They were hopeless .
“Sleepless Duke! There is one more thing we can do . ” Kahn’s voice rang through Sleepless Duke’s ears .
“Tell me! How can I kill them?” Sleepless Duke turned to him frantically, looking like she was clutching a lifeline .
Kahn waved his hand, and a spear with a red-pattern appeared in his palm .
Kahn threw it to Sleepless Duke and said, “This is a treasure of a King-class Demon . It is called a Blood Demon Spear . With its power, it should be able to break Han Sen’s shield .
Sleepless Duke frowned . “We don’t have a King class elite to wield it . If I use it, I cannot make use of all of its power . ”
Kahn smiled . “That is what is so amazing about this spear . It does not require its wielder to be King-class . It can use its max power regardless . If this wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t have told you it could break that shield .
“Really?” Sleepless Duke lifted the Blood Demon Spear and felt a savage grin pull at her mouth .
But when Sleepless Duke put her power into the spear, the throw wasn’t that strong . It was far from the effectiveness of a King, and from what she could tell, it was only a little better than Duke level .
“Kahn, are you lying to me?” Sleepless Duke looked at Kahn angrily .
Kahn shook his head . “Sleepless Duke, you are the leader of the Night Ghosts . How can you be so naive? There is no power without effort . The Blood Demon Spear might not require you to be a King to use it, but it has its own terms to adhere to . ”
“What are these conditions?” Sleepless Duke asked quickly .
“Sacrifice blood to the spear . The higher quality the blood and the more you offer, the stronger it becomes . If the^^ enough blood, it is not too difficult to muster a King class attack,” Kahn said .
“Blood? From where?” Sleepless Duke suddenly froze . She knew exactly what he meant . The only blood she could sacrifice was from the Night Ghosts .
“No! No way!” Sleepless Duke gnashed her teeth .
“Do you have a choice right now? And besides, you only have to sacrifice a few of your people to kill them . Do that, and you can save the majority of your people from Sky Palace’s wrath . Otherwise, if Han Sen escapes this planet, death is all that awaits the Night Ghosts . You know how Sky Palace treats traitors,” Kahn said grimly .
Sleepless Duke clutched the Blood Demon Spear . Looking at the blue shield moving further and further away, her face kept cycling through emotions .
