The soldiers of the Gran Army and the Demon King fugitives had only fled temporarily to avoid the devastation of the Starfall Technique.
Unlike the ecological disasters caused by Law Weapons, whose effects could last for decades or even centuries, the energy unleashed by the Starfall Technique had lasted only a short while before gradually fading.
Reilo took the opportunity to board the Sky Fortress.
Roar!
Several Bone Abyss Flying Scorpions that had broken into the fortress came rushing from inside, chasing a group of frail technical scholars. But the doors and windows were too narrow, and the creatures got stuck, roaring in frustration.
Shards of glass littered the ground.
But the few technical scholars who had escaped to the deck platform were not safe yet.
Boom, boom...
Explosions from battles with monsters sounded everywhere.
The monsters that had poured in through the breach made by the Golden Skeleton Giant's hand were rampaging through the Sky Fortress.
Just then, they spotted a mysterious figure who seemed to twist light and darkness. Sensing instinctively that he was a powerful scholar-advisor, they shouted and ran toward him.
Unlike scholars of Evolution's Profound Meaning, who had extensive combat experience and were fond of dissecting and collecting biological specimens, these technicians had come from the assembly lines of Fladick's war factories. They were more like skilled laborers than scholars. Most of them didn't even have the energy-crystal activation devices installed in scholars from Utolan.
"Ah!"
A scholar who had fallen behind let out a piercing scream. A Bone-Winged Night Demon, moving with incredible speed, carried him into the sky. Soon, the monsters nearby tore him to pieces.
The other scholars hurried toward Reilo in terror.
"Please, Master, save me!"
A meek-looking female scholar wearing glasses pleaded through her tears.
"Third-Level Collapsing Bubble Technique."
