The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1059: Attacking the Main Base

A succubus rushed through the hallway inside a pavilion complex. After a moment, she finally entered a hall where she saw Alicia, as usual, lying on her chaise lounge.

Alicia, who saw that her assistant looked rushed and even had slight panic on her face, frowned. She had never seen her assistant show such an expression for as long as they had been in this world.

The moment she saw that expression, she knew that whatever her assistant was about to report would not be good.

"My lady, urgent report! We are under attack!" the succubus said.

Alicia was still frowning. "Speak more clearly. We are under attack all the time, after all."

"They are coming! An interstellar vessel is coming this way, a vessel that came from the direction of the Gardum Kingdom. They are already near this region, and our patrols in space cannot stop them. They have already destroyed some of our patrolling vessels, and there is still no one who can stop them at this time."

Alicia stood up in astonishment.

"What? The patrols cannot stop them?"

"Yes, my lady. There is a powerful cultivator who breached our line of patrols easily. This person has already killed many of our troops. From the last report we received, no one has ever seen this cultivator before," the succubus said.

Alicia's expression turned solemn, and she walked toward the outside.

"Prepare all the troops around the main base," she said.

"I already did that, my lady," the succubus replied.

"Good." Alicia walked outside the palace into the open ground and then flew into the sky.

'Is that Aldrian coming here?' she thought. She had a strong feeling that the unknown figure might be Aldrian. A smirk suddenly appeared on her face.

'Let's see what kind of person you are.'

­-----------------------------------

Aldrian and his vessel approached a region inside the continent located in the northern hemisphere of the world. The Lurkhad Continent is one of the biggest continents and the first continent the devils attacked when they started their invasion of this world.

In the past, there were many powerful forces here before the devils occupied the continent. Now those powers are no more. Among those past forces, a powerful sect occupied the region located in the center of the continent.

The devils used the sect's main territory as their headquarters in this world, and this is where Alicia, the leader of the devils here, stays.

The vessel finally arrived above the target region and began to descend. Aldrian remained on top of the vessel as his gaze looked below calmly. The vessel pierced through the clouds and continued descending for kilometers before he finally saw the land clearly.

The land had already started to be corrupted by the devils' energy, which could be seen as almost no greenery grew across the vast land. The atmosphere also showed a faint reddish color.

In the distance, Aldrian could see a vast city and two fortresses located outside the city. The city was surrounded by walls that looked heavily damaged.

He also sensed countless movements inside the city, inside the fortresses, and in the areas between them. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

'Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?' Aldrian estimated the number of devils. He could sense several powerful auras here, and there was also a unique aura which he instantly recognized.

The aura belonged to succubi, and one of them possessed the strongest aura here. By strongest, it meant that even sensing her aura alone could affect his lust. Although it was a passive ability of the succubus race, the fact that this lone succubus could affect him even from this distance showed how powerful this succubus figure was.

Even though this succubus had yet to enter his vision, he could already guess her identity.

That must be the leader of the devils here. Alicia.

As the vessel got closer to the city, he could see more clearly what the devils were doing, and he could finally see the faces of several powerful figures floating in the city's sky.

Alicia stood with three other succubi and seven figures who were a combination of human and vampire races. All of them were pseudo-immortal stage existences.

Alicia, who was also observing the incoming vessel, finally saw the lone figure standing on top of the massive vessel approaching the city.

The moment Aldrian entered her vision, she was truly astonished. For the first time in a long while, her heart pounded.

In her eyes stood what she considered the most perfect man, at least in appearance, that she had ever met in her life.

Even his gaze itself felt different. His gaze carried its own charm that attracted her and made her imagine how his gaze would change when experiencing the bliss of pleasure.

His handsome face was the most striking feature. His perfect facial features and unblemished skin made her want to stroke it and kiss it. His calm expression radiated confidence and authority, making her want to change it into an expression filled with ecstasy and pleasure.

'Ah, I want to make him mine. He is mine,' Alicia thought crazily. Her expression turned into a crazed smile, and without saying anything, she suddenly unleashed one of her techniques.

From the space around her, sudden distortions appeared, and many black chains with spear-like tips shot out from the distortions toward the vessel. They flew from various directions as if they wanted to attack the vessel from all sides.

Her troops who saw this were stunned as she suddenly attacked without any warning. However, they were already ready for anything and were not bothered, as they already knew their leader's character.

Aldrian, who saw the incoming chains, calmly created a strong spatial barrier surrounding the vessel.

Trang!

The chains struck the barrier as they tried to pierce the vessel, but they did not lose their power. Instead, the chains changed direction, shifting from a piercing movement to a trapping movement. The chains surrounded the barrier and then wrapped tightly around it.

A moment later, the chains pulled the barrier toward Alicia. This undoubtedly caused the entire vessel to be dragged along.

"Cannot control the vessel! We are losing altitude, we are losing altitude!" one of the vessel's operators reported in panic.

The vessel trembled heavily, causing everyone inside to wonder what had happened outside. Prince Martis and Princess Xena had already gathered in the large space inside the vessel with thousands of their troops. They were only waiting for the hatch on the side to open so they could begin their attack against any devils they encountered.

'What happened? The vessel lost its altitude too quickly,' Prince Martis thought.

Outside, Aldrian calmly looked at the chains wrapped around his barrier. His gaze then shifted toward Alicia, who at this moment looked at him with a sensual gaze. From her gaze alone, his lust was once more stirred, and he could sense the great desire coming from her.

Her smile seemed to say, 'What are you going to do? You will be mine.'

However, Aldrian easily pushed away that feeling and instead looked at the other devils beside her. From what he knew from Selis, they were the assistants helping Alicia manage the troops of this world.

The rest of the hundreds of thousands of devils here were the backup forces that would support the devils on the front lines around the world. When support from the central region of Heaven was still arriving in this world, their numbers could easily reach millions.

At this time, to reduce the number of devils and make the Gardum Kingdom's troops fight more easily, there was no better choice than a mass destruction technique. Not as destructive as the falling meteor, but still capable of obliterating a large area.

Alicia, still smiling, wondered what Aldrian would do, confident that he would not use the falling meteor technique she had heard about from reports. That level of destructive power would also sweep him and his vessel away if used here.

Moreover, she possessed a method that could defend her against such a powerful meteor strike. If Aldrian unleashed that technique, which she believed would drain much of his energy, and she successfully defended against it, then he would fall into a vulnerable state.

At that time, no fate awaited him other than becoming her toy.

As she was still waiting for Aldrian's move, she suddenly sensed something from the sky, which made her lift her head. She could not help but notice countless glimmering lights like stars, causing her to narrow her eyes.

'Wait… they are not stars!' A second later, she saw the glimmering lights becoming clearer.

She shouted to all of her troops.

"Raise defensive formations!"

The troops did not waste a single second and immediately obeyed. Each division of the devil troops formed defensive formations, and manifestations of giant shields appeared above every group of thousands of devils.

As the countless lights became clearer, they could finally sense the power sweeping across the vast area. The descending sword will from the sky made the devils below feel goosebumps.

Alicia, who finally sensed the overwhelming sword will, widened her eyes. She remembered a report she had heard in the past regarding Aldrian.

'He has a technique no less powerful than a meteor strike. He can summon an overwhelming rain of swords that is impossible to defend against. The only thing that could describe it is… a rain of death.'

She knew about it, but experiencing it herself was completely different. Even before the technique reached them, she could already sense how powerful it was.

Without hesitation, she crushed a defensive talisman that suddenly appeared in her hand. A moment later—

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

A rain of golden swords descended, giving the devils the experience of an apocalypse.
