YM778.TV Chapter 395 - Investigation
"Top secret?" Miya repeated after hearing Avalon.
\'Why would their identity be a secret? Ahh… Perhaps they\'re actually criminal? Are they part of the Z-Company?\'
The young girl made an interesting guess. After all, there shouldn\'t be a reason to hide Wallace\'s helper at this point. In fact, they should probably share it to increase the morale of their soldiers.
Nevertheless, she decided to list the possibilities.
\'If not, then it\'s probably one of Kazan\'s Magician… After all, it\'s too extreme to charge alone in that country… He must\'ve contracted some magicians there beforehand. However, since their government is thinking of surrendering to the aliens, Wallace decided to hide their identity to keep them safe…\' Miya started imagining things…
However, she recalled something important.
\'Ahh… They should also be capable of defeating those aliens?! Does it mean that he contracted their Grand Sage or Grand Arcanist?\'
She then doubted her second guess. Since as far as she knows, the strong individuals in Kazan wanted to ally with the enemies.
Then, she recalled how Wallace stayed in the northern continent for a long time!
However, she only shook her head as she felt that it\'s impossible. Anyway, this is not important right now.
"Avalon… Let me know where\'s Miss Chamber. I will help with the investigation."
[ Very well. I confirmed that Wallace permitted you to assist. However, due to the dangers of the task, we have to wait for the two other Sages that we hired to ensure everyone\'s safety. ]
"I see… How about you Avalon?"
[ Don\'t worry, Five Combat Elysiums will be present within the room at all times. ]
"Mhmm… That\'s good to hear." Miya felt more comfortable with the strength of this A.I.
[ They are now at Medical Room 4 - Building 105. Follow me. ]
"Yes!"
Miya replied as she tailed the automaton… She had never expected to participate in this kind of study or experimentation so she felt a bit nervous and worried that she might mess something up.
However, she knows that she has to do something instead of just watching their soldiers and magicians sacrifice their lives to fight for freedom.

A few minutes ago, Wallace managed to put one of the Khrusams unconscious after he used his Echo Blast and Infrasonic Ray against their group.
He initially thought that they will be ineffective against the alien race… However, he discovered that when they have opened their Third Eyes, they would actually be vulnerable to this kind of attack!
As expected, these Aliens aren\'t omnipotent and still have some weaknesses!
Though they appear to be invincible with their third eye, they were actually incapable of defending against a spell that attacks their senses.
However, as he was attempting to deal with another member of their group, they have realized that he discovered their weakness so they canceled the third eye\'s power…
After that, he could no longer affect them with his Mana Spells which is quite frustrating. They have learned when to activate and deactivate their third eye to deal with him…
Of course, he still managed to capture the unconscious Khrusam and decided that it was already enough… He used almost all his strength to get out of the bindings of the Death Energy and create another hole within the spaceship to escape.
"Eh?"
As soon as he got outside of the spaceship, he finally felt the presence of the Celestial Being!
Due to the isolation made by Death Energy, he\'s unable to sense anything outside even with the help of his Divine Sense!
So he was surprised at the presence of the Celestial…
"Sir… What brought you here? Are you finally in the mood to make a move? You have to be careful though, they have a unique ability. I\'m not sure if your power is suited to fight against them."
Wallace said after seeing the Celestial floating in the sky. The latter seems to be observing the spaceships and perhaps, trying to understand the enemy\'s mysterious power.
"Are you talking about them?"
The being talked to his mind while looked at the ground below him.
Wallace looked in the direction he pointed and was surprised to see tens of Khrusams lying on the ground!
\'What happened? I haven\'t been away for a long time… They\'re already defeated?!\'
Wallace was impressed at the Celestial… As expected of the strongest being of this planet. He wasn\'t disappointed at all… If he can just control this Celestial, this war is probably going to be easy…
\'No… We should still be careful. The presence of Sealed Mana Artifact means that Celestials can still be killed if the conditions are met…\' Wallace said to himself as he looked at being in front of him.
"I\'d like to take these Khrusams you\'ve killed."
"Go ahead. They stopped coming out after I killed a few of them. I think they won\'t be living their vessel while I\'m still here."
"Is that so? You showed them how mighty you are. That\'s no wonder. Right, are you unable to attack their spaceship?" Wallace asked seeing that the Celestial is hesitant to move against the aliens if they aren\'t living in the spaceship.
"Mhmm… I can destroy it completely. But this land\'s balance of energy will be disrupted and might become similar to the Northern Continent… You don\'t want that to happen."
The Celestial explained…
\'Amazing!\'
Wallace was surprised not because of the Celestial\'s knowledge about the outcome of his attack, but because he seems to be worried that the State of Kazan would end up like the northern continent!
It means that Wallace had truly influenced this Celestial after being together for a long time!
"That\'s a good call… You\'re right… I don\'t like that to happen."
"Yes. Anyway, approaching the vessel directly is also not a good idea… Their source of energy is too evil that it wants to corrupt anything it touches… If I forced them, they might decide to release this energy everywhere."
"Corruption? I understand… I\'ll be thinking about how to deal with them… Anyway, these alien species would be the key to that. I\'ll just need some time." Wallace replied as he\'s planning to let some experts study the power of the Khrusams.
As long as he finds out more about their secrets, he would be able to create plans that may help everyone in the future.
On the other hand, he decided to avoid direct combat with their Flagship as he\'s still a bit worried about the members of the Terub Legion… He wanted to deal with them one by one.
"Very well, I\'ll be returning to the Sea City."
The Celestial didn\'t wait for him to reply as he immediately dived down to the see.
\'Hmm… I wonder what\'s interesting there…\' Wallace thought as the Celestial Being seem to be quite excited to return.
Or perhaps, it was just his imagination.
Nevertheless, he quickly placed that dead Khrusams and destroyed Corpse Furnace within his Dimensional Storage Space. Now that the Celestial was gone, they might think of sending out their forces again so he has to leave the place.
***
Miya was now in front of the golden aliens…
However, because the sages haven\'t arrived yet, she can only see the dead ones with the Elysiums and Miss Chamber\'s team.
There\'s a total of 13 dead bodies and 5 Corpse Furnace within the room.
"Miya! You\'ve arrived." Miss Chamber greeted the young lady as soon as she entered while being accompanied by an automaton.
There are two other faculty members of Leonhearts Academy that are similarly specializing in the Soul Arts.
"Miss Chamber… I\'m here to help." Miya said politely.
"Yes, Avalon already informed us. We\'re lacking some personnel. However, are you alright with this? We will be investigating these corpses first together with their equipment." Miss Chamber said worriedly. A celebrity idol like her shouldn\'t have any experience concerning this kind of job.
Of course, she\'s right about that and Miya didn\'t actually feel well after seeing the corpses lying on the tables.
"I\'m fine, Miss Chamber. Thank you for worrying. It\'s not like we will be dissecting them, right?"
"Ahh… Of course, we\'re not going to do that. There will be a separate team that will study their biology."
"That\'s better." Miya smiled after hearing Chamber\'s confirmation.
She then looked around the place and noticed the remnants of the Khrusam\'s energy…
"Hmm… It seems that Avalon is right. I can feel familiar energy yet a different aura. Oh, it\'s focusing on their heads, or perhaps, brain…" Miya added after observing.
"As expected of the most talented Soul Art practitioner of this generation… You\'ve only entered this room for a few moments and already noticed it. Haha! It took us more than 5 minutes to feel that."
One of Miss Chamber\'s subordinates praised the young lady\'s perception.
"You\'re right, Miya. However, it is not their brain but their third eye on their forehead. At the moment, Wallace wanted to know how they are operating or perhaps controlling the Death Energy… He wanted us to find a way to stop them or at least disrupt them with their control."
