    Among low-level sorcerers, little was known about the Null World Stone, but it was a highly-strategic asset that the Sorcerers World had in its possession.


    The energy provided by this so-called Null World by the sorcerers had the rare ability to alter thews of Spacetime. As such, with the Null World Stone’s help, the sorcerers were able to transmit information through cosmic distances via the crystal ball. In rare instances, information could even be sent through to different worlds.


    It was at this moment that ck Isotta Stigmata Sorcerer had morphed into a thousand-meter tall ck giant. On his gargantuan palm was a massive pile of floating gemstones. The pile of gemstones was entirelyposed of the aforementioned precious Null World Stones.


    Amidst the intense surge of magic waves, the Null World Stones had each be the center point where Null World Energy was converged.


    The palm that stretched over a hundred meters wide was covered by a pureyer of Null World Energy like a glove. At the Battle Command’s orders from the Void Fortress, the spinning cloud of magic power above the stumpy Sorcerer Tower stopped in its tracks.


    Crack


    After painstaking preparations by the sorcerers and their specialized magical array, the cloud of magic power moved thews of the world once again. With a loud “crack”, a bright light lit up the clear skies as lightning streaks would during a thunderstorm. A magical light beam then prated the cloud ceiling above, revealing the World Node where the First Acraepoid Kingdom was concealed.


    “So it’s located here, ke ke ke ke ke ke ke! This spatial wall they’re using is pretty interesting!”


    It seemed that the enemy had expected that the sorcerers would attempt to open up an entry point into the World Node using the Void Fortress’ magical light beam. Their spatial wall, which was erected in anticipation of such a situation sessfully halted the sorcerers’ sudden attack. Even the power offered by the Null World Stones in ck Isotta’s grasp had been pushed to its limits.


    Unlike any other forms of energy, most of the light rays which collided with the Null World Energy were absorbed, rendering it invisible to the naked eye.


    However, when the Null World Energy was unleashed at such unprecedented levels, the space around it was distorted under extreme pressure so it looked like the mes of a bonfire, just that the bonfire was invisible and shapeless. The surrounding area around that massive ck hand flickered exactly like an optical illusion.


    Boom!


    The giant ck hand pierced into the World Node that the magic light beam was firing at.


    Once again, the low rumbling of thunder echoed through the skies and shook the ground. The hand had torn through the Spatial Wall effortlessly, digging into the auxiliary space from the Infernal Spirit World.


    The thick concentration of Abyssal signal immediately gushed into the hole that ck Isotta’s giant hand had just torn open. The resultant energy ripples from the unexpected intrusion had rmed the inhabitants of the First Acraepoid Kingdom and soon after, a rapid response team had been dispatched over but to no avail as they plunged to their deaths like nothing but flies the moment they rose above the thick white cloudyer.


    “Ke ke ke ke, so this is the old nest of the First Acraepoid King!”


    ck Isottaughed maniacally as he inserted his other hand through the tear into the auxiliary space. Despite the seemingly vicious attacks by the enemy’s chain ofws, he ignored them as he peered through the crack into their sanctuary with his tworge beady eyes.


    For a moment, the me Burrows that carried the Acraepoids’ screams of terror reverberating through came into full view.


    As this was happening, seventy million Abyssal Demons were gathered around ck Isotta on the Infernal Spirit World’s side. Their numbers were so great that theypletely blocked off the Sun’s rays, casting a great, ominous shadow on the ground.


    Under the control of the Abyssal Summoners’ will, these densely-packed Abyssal Demons squeezed into the Aperture. Viewing from the side of the auxiliary world, it seemed as if a dam had burst open as the invading monsters continued pouring in relentlessly.


    After a sizeable portion of Abyssal Demons had made their way through the Void Aperture into the First Acraepoid Kingdom, the seven Abyssal Summoners then made their entrance consecutively, each with arge number of apanying Abyssal Demons guarding them. Finally, the sorcerers had descended upon the interiors of the First Acraepoid Kingdom.


    “Sorcerers! It’s the sorcerers! The God of the Sorcerers has finally made his move!”


    “Defenders! Take up arms and block that crack on the Spatial Wall!”


    The Acraepoids looked up at the dark crack across the sky with fear present in every one of their faces. They yelled out in desperation as they made their final stand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...


    A formation of Acraepoids lifted off the ground. Judging from its size, there were only about ten thousand or more of them.


    At the forefront of the formation were six ten-meter-long Infernal Giant Swords, brimming with so much energy that it caused ripples that spread through the surrounding air. These swords were swung around constantly, ying the Abyssal Demons that encircled them as they charged toward the Void Aperture fearlessly.


    The six noble Acraepoids’ eyes were rtively calm as they led the ten-thousand-strong team of elite Acraepoids toward the opening. This moment was the best shot they would ever have at sealing the Void Aperture.


    Should they let slip this moment and miss out on the chance to plug the hole that had been freshly torn open, the despair-inducing Abyssal Demons would surge into the kingdom’s grounds and by then...


    Then, the Acraepoid race would not stand a chance in such a battle. The near endless stream of Abyssal Demons could kill off the Acraepoids by merely upying every inch of their holy kingdom!


    The Acraepoids had been driven into a corner. This would be their final resting ground, so there were no other options than to fight to the death!


    “Ke ke ke ke ke ke, roar!”


    As the dark crack was further pried open, the gigantic ck Isotta who was floating high up in the sky above the Infernal Spirit World cackled in an evil manner before a ck rippling pattern made its way through the crack, descending upon the auxiliary world.


    The sight of this ripple was an omen of death. It was the mental spell ck Isotta would often cast when faced with an enemy withrge numbers.


    As it swept over the first wave of attacking Acraepoids, their bodies jolted and with the exception of a few Level-2, Level-3 Acraepoids who could withstand the sudden blow, most of the other low-level Acraepoids fell like raindrops onto the ground. Their lifeless bodies fell headfirst, smashing into the ground creating dull thuds which could be heard even from high up in the sky.


    In mere seconds, arge portion of the fearless ten-thousand strong attacking team of elite Acraepoids fell from the sky.


    ck Isotta’s gaze prated these six Acraepoid nobles.


    “Hee hee hee hee hee, sorry to bother you my friends but I will hand over the mission to you guys now. Make sure you wipe these Acraepoidspletely off from this world! I will hold this crack open for an hourss. After that, you’ll have to find a way to break open the Spatial Wall from the inside on your own.”


    “Alright.”


    “Understood.”


    “They definitely did live up to our expectations...”


    Misaha, Grimm and the rest of the seven Abyssal Summoners each responded to the Stigmata Sorcerer’s order with a seemingly calm tone, as if this was just another small task they had to handle. Either that, or these sorcerers were brimming with confidence, that they wouldplete this task wlessly soon.


    It made sense though. Even if one ignored the massive Bright Sorcerer army that was so well prepped for this invasion, or the army of Dark Sorcerers, or the ten-million-strong soul ve army, each of these Abyssal Summoners had more than ten million Abyssal Demons under theirmand. This alone was enough for the Acraepoids to hang their heads in despair.


    In the sky above the First Acraepoid Kingdom.


    The six Acraepoid nobles were making ast-ditch effort to stop this sudden attack. Each of them took out a ck ball of me and raised it high above their heads.


    Making their final summoning of the Infernal Spirit World’sws, from the deep underground chasms below the First Acraepoid Kingdom, six thickw chains shot up into the sky.


    Whoop, whoop...


    The massivew chains wound around the pair of ck hands. As ast resort, the giant hands retracted back into the crack and suddenly, an equally gigantic Sorcerer Book nearing a hundred meters tall fell through the crack.


    Boom!


    The ominous energy ripples spreading from the Sorcerer Book being connected to ck Isotta’s powers, formed into a thick, ck light pir hundreds of meters tall.


    A ck light pir centered around this Sorcerer Book and prated the Void Aperture, driving away the surrounding clouds. The sky now looked like a broken mirror. Even with the intervention of thew chains, it was nowhere near enough to stop the destruction brought on by this ck light pir.


    More and more Abyssal Demons were using the chance this ck light pir provided to continue surging toward the Acraepoid Kingdom. Their numbers were growing everrger by the moment...


    ording to ck Isotta’s estimation, this ck light pir was able to withstand the erosion from the Acraepoids’ repair efforts for about an hourss.


    Even the Acraepoids’ chain ofws were not capable of making so much as a scratch on this ck light pir.


    Everything was going ording to ck Isotta’s n and thus, victory was right before his eyes. This Demon-Hunting expedition would being to a close soon...


    Suddenly, ck Isotta grunted in suspicion.


    In the underground temple of the First Acraepoid Kingdom, many of its worshippers sped their hands in prayer, unleashing the most primitive Ancient Seal he had ever seen!


    A ck light strand rose up from the surface of the Acraepoid Kingdom and flew toward the Sorcerer Book. Its shape vaguely resembled the form of a skinny ck w as it clung onto the Sorcerer Book.


    “Heh heh heh heh...”


    ck Isotta chuckled menacingly. If he had not cracked the secrets to these Ancient Seals, it would have undoubtedly caused him a lot of trouble. But now...


    “Hmm!?”


    Suddenly, the smug, confident look on ck Isotta’s face turned into doubt. An energy wave of the Spacetime Law suddenly swept over him from some unknown corner of the Infernal Spirit World!


    ck Isotta barely had enough time to tuck away the Sorcerer Book before the Void Aperture was mped shut after the Spacetime Law washed over it. The tens of thousands of Abyssal Demons who were still making their way across the aperture as this happened werepressed and squashed into a shower of blood and pulp.


    “How is this possible! Is this the descent of an Eternal Dominator? Wait, no! Could it be...”


    ck Isotta remained floating mid-air as he muttered to himself in disbelief.


    “A new World Aperture has been created in this world at the same time as the invasion?”
