Chapter 377

I found it! Catarina exclaimed, well within the distance that made it plausible that she could be talking to Anton. Then again, it could also have been nearly anyone among the forces surrounding Yedo.

When he caught her eye and she began to approach, Anton assumed she probably intended to address him. Congratulations. Where?

On the moon! Catarina gestured to the sky.

That raised further questions, and made Anton think perhaps they were not talking about what he thought. So you found what, exactly? I thought you were looking for a solution to this, Anton glared towards Yedo. Unless you somehow returned there without me knowing? There had been some plans to re-establish the teleportation formations to the moon, but that project was unlikely to have been completed in the middle of the invasion with how much was left.

The answer! See, its all about the flow of the world. We were working on that back in the mountains, it just wasnt quite right. And I just realized what we were missing. Catarina took a deep breath. Can you feel it?

There are a great number of things I can feel, Anton said. Youd have to narrow it down significantly.

The flow. On the moon, Everheart had formations for a lot of things. Right at the end he had tons of them relating to the flow of energy.

You mean with those trials? Or whatever they were Anton shook his head. The questions about ascension?

They were more than just questions. I didnt make it all the way to the end because I was inspecting everything, but I have been working with people who did. There was one set strongly attuned to the flow of ascension energy and we thought we knew what it was for. It was kind of like what was at the Chain Harmony Sect. Anton just waited for her to continue her explanation. Anyway, it barely worked in the Cragtooth mountains because we had the wrong idea. Now we could make it work better how we planned, but its kind of intense, energy-wise. But with what I found I have a solution!

I hope youve discussed this with the other formation masters, Anton said.

They know, she said. Speaking of which, we should get started.

Great. Just one question. Is this one of those things where you dont want to say what it does because it might not work or?

Oh, I forgot. Itll help kick these guys out faster.

She wasnt sure quite what was going on, but Fajra was not happy. She gathered a burst of upper energy to at least destroy something on her way out, but as she thrust it towards the ground it merely rebounded towards her, shoving her further away. Results like that werent something she was willing to test further, and then there was the issue of the others. She was being pulled ahead, and while Fajra would most certainly be fine many would not be able to breathe if they were separated from her. She wasnt responsible for all of the fools who died elsewhere, but she at least had to care for the disciples of the Radiant Beauty Sect.

She stretched out her energy, wrapping it around them. Most of those present were smart enough to go outside to look at what was going on, and though her energy couldnt quite reach them they stretched out towards her and attached themselves. She pulled them closer, and they began to move into the sky.

-----

The shifting of the flow of the world had indeed been happening gradually for a while, but when it finally flipped Anton felt the force of that change. The ascension energy in the area suddenly and violently was forced upwards away from the world, and Anton could tell it wasnt welcome. He could sense whatever connection he had to it was cut off for the moment, as the current turmoil disrupted even his irregular connection to that source of energy.

When he saw people flying up into the air he almost didnt even think to shoot them. But as they pulled away from the defensive formations of Yedo, he started to shoot. Even if they were intentionally expelling these people from the world, he could try to take some of them out. With all of those present surrounded by bubbles of energy from the Ascension cultivators, Anton focused on disrupting the energy as much as possible. Hed done the same with the one who had tried to fly and knocked him out of the air, but unfortunately this time the results werent as good. His attacks battered against superior quantities of energy, and even if he disrupted them momentarily it wasnt enough to pierce attacks through to those inside.

A few moments later Kseniya followed up with the same, having woken up at the feeling of significant changes. There had been no real warning of the timing of this event, and the formation masters were also scrabbling to augment the formation with temporary flags.

The formation masters werent actually working against Anton, but as the mass of people accelerated further into the sky he wished theyd left things so he could take several more shots. He was fortunate, however, to snag a few stragglers. For whatever reason they were not in the air at the same time as the others, and some broke out of the formation before being protected.

The invaders were being thrust away into the sky faster and faster, rising kilometers in a short time. At tens of kilometers they were still something he could target, and Anton found a peculiar phenomenon that the higher his arrows went the better they traveled, up to a point.

Directly fighting against gravity was one difficulty, while another was simply distance from himself. As he flew along with his arrows he felt the air thinning, no longer getting in his way- but additional sources of energy disrupted his attacks- along with the massive flow of ascension energy that was going into the sky.

Then the invaders were out of range, more than a hundred kilometers in the sky and riding the flow of the worlds energy. A few minutes later and he couldnt feel any individuals, then he lost track of individual groups as a similar phenomenon happened slightly slower in other parts of Estary. Then they were gone. No invaders left behind, and Yedo empty.

Well, not truly empty. There were still people in there. Locals. It was hard to tell how many with the defensive formations. That was the next target then, and Antons personal disappointment that the enemy got away would have to be dealt with later.

He began to charge up a shot, and Elder Sarka was eagerly charging forward as well. But the formation masters called for them to stop.

Youll damage the formations! This might be our one chance to study them perfectly intact and dismantle them! Catarina was the most vocal. Plus, its energy that could be used more efficiently for something else.

Sarka snorted, the huge wave of fire she had prepared being shot directly into the sky. Fine. But dont take too long. We have to make sure there arent more in there somewhere. Im going to go check on the other cities just in case.
