Chapter 854 Cataclysm Epoch
“Are you okay?”
While Fallon was lost in his thoughts, Donald slung the sword in his hand over his shoulder. There was not a single scratch on him.
It was as though he had merely squashed a bug instead of having fought an incredibly intense battle.
“H-How did you accomplish that?”
If Fallon were to sustain a blow from a second-form tentacle, he might end up paralyzed.
Yet, not only could Donald withstand the simultaneous attack of so many tentacles, but he also managed to mount a counter-attack.
Donald answered placidly, “Your capabilities are still inadequate now. When you've attained a certain level, you'll realize it isn't difficult to do what I just did.”
“Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Our drones' surveillance footage indicates that Earl's members have retreated.”
Sophus had known that Earl would send men over to break through the border by force this time, but he had not expected them to dispatch a top-notch expert like Florian.
Fortunately, they had sought Donald out to back them up this time. Otherwise, the South Sea Military Region would undoubtedly be on the losing end.
After Earl's members retreated, there was no longer any need for Donald to handle the remaining small fries.
In the helicopter heading back to Pollerton, Sophus said to Donald, “General Holk asked me to convey a message to you, Mr. Campbell.”
“What is it?”
“He said he recently detected abnormal energy reactions in many places within the country. He's worried it might indicate the onset of a tremendous change in the whole of Yorksland or even the entire world. For that reason, he hopes you'll break through to the Unnerved Realm as early as possible. He also wishes you to master Mystic Sun Technique he gave you posthaste.”
According to the rules, Maynard should have retired from the South Sea Military Region ages ago at his advanced age of seventy-eight.
However, the country still retained him as the general of the South Sea Military Region all these years.
Firstly, he was a Manipulator Realm expert. Seventy-eight years old was old to others, but it was the prime of his life.
Secondly, the Holk family had been carrying out a surveillance project known as Cataclysm Epoch for Yorksland secretly all this time.
Due to the Age of Degeneration, a Penta Stella warrior could already rule supreme in a place. Even the country wanted to gather such individuals and establish a unique organization to provide them with uniform training.
However, as high-level warriors grew in number in the past few years, not only had Donald realized that there was something off, but even the country had noticed something amiss.
“Don't tell me the abnormal energy he mentioned refers to Cataclysm Epoch?”
Sophus nodded in affirmation before elaborating solemnly, “The foreign team led by General Holk has already identified eight abnormal energy spots in the country. Luckily, these places aren't in the city. Otherwise, the amount of panic it would bring would be unforeseeable. No one knows the kind of catastrophic changes that might come about if Cataclysm Epoch were to kick off. Thus, General Holk has been making preparations all along, including how the military would take control of the social order at once in the event of it coming to pass.”
Donald had never thought that things had advanced to the point that the military might take over the social order.
It would mean that the onset of Cataclysm Epoch was within a year or two.
The helicopter landed near Donald's mansion.
When Donald returned to the mansion, he had planned to take an Energy Condensation Pill and study Mystic Sun Technique in detail.
Unexpectedly, he was greeted by the sight of three women sitting on the couch in the living room and glaring at him hotly.
“I'm home, Darling.”
Jennifer instinctively stood up to welcome the man home.
However, Hannah tugged at her hard. Only then did she seemingly remember something and plop back down onto the couch.
“Where did you go?” Hannah demanded icily, displeasure written all over her face.
