Chapter 1012 Coalition in the Northern Region
Chapter 1012 Coalition in the Northern Region
Further north in Polaris Realm, there was a city of 5,000 inhabitants on the border of human land and areas unclaimed since The Purification.
Even after years of work and many victories, there were still areas of the continent that had previously belonged to humans or Light Path beast tribes that still needed to be reclaimed.
At posts like this small human town, allied forces from across the continent were stationed, preparing for combat, ready to defend human territories and purge the monsters.
In this particular location, a young-looking red-haired man, around 40 and of Intermediate Archmage cultivation, was in charge of the area when a man with tanned skin and long black hair landed in front of the town.
The guards on duty went on alert, eyeing the Intermediate Archmage who had just arrived from the unclaimed area ahead.
But after a second analysis, the group under the command of the red-haired individual relaxed when they noticed the symbol of the Sentinels of the Order on one of the newcomer's chest.
"I bring news from the north," Casey said as he approached the tent where Rory had been sitting in front of a fire earlier that evening.
Rory opened his eyes and welcomed his old family companion into his tent. "What's up?" Vicente's best friend asked.
"Lauren sent news. The elves have predicted the great battle we will have on our journey to end the war. We are less than a month away from deciding the future of Polaris Realm.
Great prosperity or the end of the continent awaits us after this interval!"
Rory sighed when he heard this, but the time had come for them to settle this war once and for all.
"All right. My group will be ready to fight," Rory said as he stood up and offered Casey a cup of tea.
"Thanks, but I'm going to have to decline. I'm going to Sarah's after here and then I'll stop by three other outposts."
"Oh? All right, then. But before you go, tell me how Lauren's group is doing." Rory insisted.
"Well, I'd say. She's already an Advanced Archmage and from the rumors I've heard, Nina joined her in Majestic Treefrog Grove after reaching the beginning of the 6th stage."
Rory wasn't surprised. Nina had been the most talented on the continent since Vicente had left. Even more so considering the way her magical form worked, it was only natural that she should become an Archmage so young!
"It's a pity we don't have more time. Otherwise, we wouldn't even need to fight. Nina would be enough in combat," he said with a smile on his face, managing to wrench a smile from Casey's lips.
"Certainly." Casey was getting ready to leave when he heard from Rory.
"Oh, right, I've got news from the south. Nova, Lina, and Layla are on the move. Annie has awakened a magical form of the Dark Path, cyan grade."
"Sigh! Times are changing. If we don't die in the next few weeks, we'll soon be elders dealing with the new generation."
The two said goodbye, looking forward to such a fate rather than the imminent end that so many of their companions feared.
Rory looked up at the stars and sighed. 'If I don't die in this war, I'll become an Advanced Archmage. Then I'll prepare to go to the Supreme Continent.
Just wait for me, Vicente. I'll soon be exploring the wonders of the Supreme Continent by your side!'

Meanwhile, Nina was at Bart's and Onyx's side in the territory of the dragons, these two beasts of her brother's who had accompanied her over the last few years.
The two creatures still bore the symbols of Vicente's pentagrams, but these symbols were now gray, given how far away from them Vice was. However, these essences in the bodies of the two 6th stage creatures was enough for the Fuller family to know that he was alive.
Somewhere, Vicente was striving to grow stronger and fulfill his mission to make travel between the continents possible again for those below the 7th stage.
Nina occasionally thought about her brother, but ever since she had hunted her sixth pentagram, she had been more focused on vampires.
She had only recently become an Archmage, but she had quickly obtained a good cyan pentagram, given the wealth of essences in groups of monsters, their mortal enemies at the moment. And now with six essences in her magical foundation, Nina craved the vampire blood to become an Intermediate Archmage or even threaten the Advanced level.
Given the grade of her talent and the fact that she could absorb the powers of others to grow stronger faster, she was confident that she would quickly become a Master Archmage, or even an Archon Archmage, the highest level for a 6th stage being to reach.
However, achieving this would not be easy. With Intermediate Archmage level vampires about to awaken, the battle for the continent's Archmages wouldn't be easy!
There should only be a few Archmages of that level among vampires, but vampires of that level were as strong as Master Archmages in the coalition.
There were only two such individuals in the entire coalition organized around Lauren, and both were from races that had weaknesses against vampires.
But Nina wasn't afraid. While she looked after her brother's beasts as if they were her own, she had her husband at her side, as well as 6th stage robotic armor and Cataclysm Order men. Not only that, in the battle they were waiting for to decide the war, she would fight alongside her older sister!
"Miss Nina, I'm sorry to interrupt," said a Sentinel of the Order as he approached where Killian and Nina were standing with the great crow and the basilisk. "Miss Death has just arrived at the camp. She and the elves are joining our group to march to The Ivory Desert."
Nina immediately stopped what she was doing in that green field, in the middle of that sunny day. A smiling bow formed on her lips before a word escaped her mouth.
"Perfect."
She moved ahead of her husband and the Sentinel of the Order, leading the group to where the tribe's strongest dragons were already welcoming Lauren and the 6th stage elves.
