Chapter 1641: Diversity
When Feylis advanced her legions toward the core ruins of the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, she had explicitly stated that the Shadowbat Civilization legions could remain in their original positions.
Yet in the end, one Shadowbat Civilization legion still chose to join the Magus Alliance forces under Feylis’ command.
The commander of this Shadowbat legion was Darian Wraith, their civilization’s Rank Five powerhouse.
War was the ultimate test of one’s will. In the conflict against Arid Expanse World, Darian emerged as a rising star among the younger generation of Shadowbat powerhouses.
The older generation of Rank Six Shadowbat powerhouses had suffered grievous injuries during the war. Even if they eventually recovered, few would ever regain their former glory, let alone advance further.
As a result, immense expectations were now placed on Darian Wraith.
The future strength and authority of the Shadowbat Civilization would likely rest in his hands.
That included the civilization’s world-class secret treasure, the Batwing Helmet. Plans were already in motion to grant Darian early exposure to it and allow him to familiarize himself with its functions.
This expedition to the ruins of the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, undertaken alongside Feylis, was also Darian’s own initiative.
As a Rank Five being who had previously interacted with Sein, and as an ambitious and idealistic powerhouse, Darian had begun preparing for the future after witnessing the terrifying strength of the Magus Civilization.
He was unaware that Sein was currently within the ruins. He merely reasoned that if the Magus Civilization placed such importance on this location and was deploying massive combat forces there, then it was destined to become the focal battlefield of the next phase.
The merits earned from fighting a hundred wars within the Shadowbat Civilization’s own star domain might not even compare to those gained from a single decisive battle inside these ruins.
