Dozens of kilometers from the Grand Natural Sciences Academy, a figure stood atop a stretch of sand dunes being extensively converted into wetlands by artificial means.
The figure released a bone-chilling aura of Law Power from within him. A flock of wasteland migratory Magical Beasts flying across the sky let out a few caws, then plummeted to the dunes one after another, crashing down with a series of thuds.
These Magical Beasts seemed to have mutated from a species of migratory geese. A layer of ghostly green phosphorescence, like will-o'-the-wisps, swirled around their bodies. The three to five eyes atop their heads were all different colors, giving them a mysterious, ferocious appearance. They even had two hearts beating simultaneously in their chests, providing them with powerful vitality.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft.
Under the influence of the Shura Law in the air, the hearts of these bizarre Magical Beasts exploded all at once.
Pale red streams of blood energy spilled from their bodies and surged toward the invisible vortex formed by the figure.
The figure gazed into the distance, toward the modern city crowded with towers and buildings.
"As expected of the Grand Natural Sciences Academy. The number of people who can remain conscious under the power of Shura far exceeds that of other academies. It seems this remote, barren frontier really has begun to surpass Middle Earth. Truly remarkable."
In the eyes of Shura Path, the blood and energy of living beings were like dewdrops on leaves at dawn.
These dewdrops were an important source of energy for him.
But by now, his strength had long since reached its peak. Even during the heyday of the commanders who explored the Spacetime Fortress ten thousand years ago, he would have been qualified to serve as a commander in his own right.
