Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1265: Remaining Time: 00 days 24 hours 60 minutes 60 seconds↡

Seeing Drakhairs motionlessly drifting in the space, Aether’s foot flared with violet flames. He propelled himself upward and caught Drakhairs before the body could fall any deeper into the void.

”Sigh... man, I thought I freaking lost you,” Aether muttered with a relieved expression.

Due to the absence of air, Drakhairs was completely unconscious, lips pale, chest barely moving. Well, it’s not like he was dead... not yet. But if he had remained longer...

Anyway,

Aether flinched at the sudden resonance in his ears.

His eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he immediately teleported as he carried Drakhairs back to the Pyra Empire.

When he arrived at the location of the Ebon Stone, the sight that greeted him was nothing but devastation.

The colossal skeleton that once towered over the land had already disappeared. In its place remained only a vast crater gouged deep into the surface of the world.

Everything surrounding it had been annihilated—scorched, erased, and shattered beyond recognition. The summit that had once been visited and tested... was crushed into absolute nothingness.

Everything around it was just... one big, obscene, gaping crater.

”M-Majesty?”

Drakhairs flinched awake, his chest heaving violently as air finally filled his starving lungs.

He coughed, wheezed, then realised whose arms were holding him. In shock, he immediately pulled away from Aether.

Aether had been holding him like a princess, and.... a faint blush was crawling across Drakhairs’s cheeks.

He didn’t understand why his heart reacted that way, and the confusion only deepened the red across his face.

He blushed slightly, not sure why...

[+5000 AP]

”...” Aether didn’t care for the notification.

Well, he noticed it, but he deliberately avoided looking at that damned thing.

Anyway, what had happened exactly?

The moment his hand reached the base of the mountain...

”We were teleported, right?” Aether asked.

Drakhairs’s blush vanished instantly. His gaze darkened as he nodded gravely, ”Yes. We were forced to teleport.”

Does that mean that the monster has the ability to teleport others?

If so... then this was fucking serious.

He couldn’t risk others fighting this abomination. If his beloveds were teleported outside the Empires, who knew what fate awaited them? Who knew if he would ever see them again?

Drakhairs looked down, his body trembling at the sight below. The ground was a flattened graveyard... even the crushed creatures in the summit disappeared by the sheer force.

”Your Majesty?” Drakhairs called as he glanced at Aether. The emperor’s gaze was distant, lost in thought, staring into that endless crater as though trying to read something.

Aether took a deep breath and said, ”Take care of the people and... inform the others of the initiation of Project ’X.’”

Drakhairs’s eyes widened. ”You mean... this is it?”

Aether shook his head slowly, ”I am not sure... but just to be careful... get ready. I will hold it off as long as I can.” as though he had already resigned himself to what must come.

Then, without wasting another second, he began informing the other Empires to prepare for immediate evacuation and the initiation of Project ’X.’

Drakhairs bowed his head before disappearing into a flicker of light.

Aether remained, staring at the ground with that same detached expression. The colossal skeleton had already hammered down three of the Ebon Stones, leaving only... two.

Aether immediately teleported to the... Aurora Empire.

But it wasn’t there.

After all—

In Zephyra, Dora hovered in the sky, her long hair whipping violently against the air currents as her eyes locked onto the nightmare below. The colossal skeleton was hammering down upon the Ebon Stone with its humongous mountains clutched in both hands.

BOOOOMMMMMM!!!

The Empire trembled under the impact, the world shaking violently. Dora could only watch blankly as everything within sight was flattened, the overwhelming wave of pressure radiating outward, destroying everything for several kilometres.

The skeleton’s blow nailed the Ebon Stone of Zephyra, reducing everything around it to dust.
