Chapter 2214: Development

"How come we are unable to break this stupid formation?

We are already behind that idiot Christos. Why is this happened? Answer me." He yelled at his team like they are his servants.

"Krimin, this is not a problem exclusive to us. All the formations stopped working. The other teams already compared the sizes and the qualities of the formations. They are speculating that there are levels in these formations.

We might have finished the level 1 formations without any hitch.

For level 2 formations to be solved, we might need to trigger certain conditions. I suggest that you calm down and think straight."

"Think straight? Think straight? Is that what you said to me or did I mishear you?" Krimin closed in on the young man who spoke and held him by his collar. The young man and the rest of the teammates all looked at Krimin with a weird expression.

For some reason Krimin has been acting weirdly ever since the first formation has been broken by Christos' team.

He became extremely irritable and it seems like some hidden rivalry is there behind them.

"Krimin there is no point in making a scene. Even Christos is not able to do anything with his team at this moment."

Another teammate spoke. Krimin didn't respond and walked close to the formation. The others don't know, but he knew what things are at stake right now. He is part of the noble league and was supposed to be the part of a different team.

To be precise, he should have originally being teamed up with Christos.

But now that Christos has already fallen from grace in the noble league, there is a huge void in the upper part of the hierarchy. Along with Christos, several of his original lackeys were also dragged down, so that power void is up for grabbings.

Of course, the higher positions particularly in the second grade are not easily obtained.

Christos was the leader, because he proved himself. So, the seniors and even the elders back at the clans all agreed on one thing. Whoever can prove their superiority against Christos will get the seat.

Even though most of the noble league members in second grade are on that planet, not a lot of them are as good as Krimin when it comes to the formations. So, this is a great chance and possibly even the last chance for him to prove himself against Christos.

But after he came here, Christos who was not given a single member from Noble league actually managed to make a team with commoners. He also won most merits as his team was the one to crack the formation for the first time.

Krimin felt like he is losing his chances every moment Christos and his team beat a formation.

That is why he is so frustrated. To gain most credit, Krimin even separated himself from the rest of the noble league members and made a team with the high level students in the formation department.

However, they still fell short.

Krimin looked at the formation intently and started injecting his energy into it. The others didn't speak or stop him from doing that. They have already done it and there was no effect. So, as long as Krimin doesn't go on another rant and abuse the people that are working for him, they are fine with whatever he does.

However, with every passing second, the energy he is injected is increasing bit by bit along with a fierce facial expression growing grim.

After a few minutes, Krimin's eyes widened. A small tremor escaped the formation. Not just from his own, but from the rest of the formations in other areas as well.

As if on cue, the elders who were focusing on observing the white crystals felt a weird every brushing past them.

All the formations started vibrating and so did the white crystals. The crystal bushes started giving out a faint white glow that matched with the frequence of their vibrations.

Bloody Chariot and the elders had an ominous feeling about it. Because for some reason they could feel that they are the target of the vibrations. It was only confirmed after a few minutes, when they noticed that the glow is actually exclusive to the crystals that are surrounding these elders.

If an elder moved from one spot to the other, the glow is actually transferring as if it had a mind of his own. The glow grew brighter, albeit very slowly and along with it the vibrations also increased.

The formations all locked up even more and they gave out a weird energy emission that made every student almost shit their pants. That energy is definitely spiritual energy and it is definitely elemental, but it had that eerie feeling to it. Like it shouldn't have existed in the first place.

The elders that came to research, immediately dove into action and came to a conclusion. The formations are getting ready to explode.

The energy crystals that were glowing near the elders... they are also doing the same. They are getting charged around them to prepare for an explosion. When the elders are moving the energy is being transferred to the crystals nearby them.

"Sir, there is no other way. For some reason, it seems like the second level formations triggered a destruction mechanism. We still don't understand the extent of damage these crystals can cause. I think we might have to leave this place.

I already tested it out. One of the research crew members left the planet and the crystals around him lost the glue. At the same time, the energy levels in the nearby crystals around his original location increased by a lot.

We can let the students take care of it for now."

The elder explained to Bloody Chariot.

Bloody Chariot begrudgingly had to agree to it. He left Christos in charge and went back. Christos was to use the formation and get back to him.

While things developed like that on that planet, somewhere far away, in the planet that is controlled by Telchines, things are going in an equally extreme and unexpected way.
