"So let me get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying that there are a few bosses waiting for us a few kilometers in front and you want to team up with us to defeat these bosses, is that right?"
"Well, not really."
"Oh, then do tell, what did I get wrong? That's what you told us or am I starting to hear things now?"
"You're calling them bosses, I think that that's too much of a stretch for those creatures. at best they would be elite monsters, not bosses."
"Argh!"
"Whatever..."
Arran was currently facing an interrogation.
As it stood, Arran had already joined up with Daphne and Terrence, Renee's two other teammates and like what you would expect, things did not go smoothly for him at all.
Ever since Arran showed up together with Renee, he had not been welcomed into the group at all. At least there was one person who had not welcomed Arran's presence in the group. this person was none other than Terrence.
<There was silence among the group of four people. Except for fighting, nobody spoke for some time and they all just simply kept quiet.Finally, after what felt like an uncomfortable number of years, Terrence finally spoke up."First of all, what do you actually think about this idea, Renee?"Terrence addressed this question to Renee.In response, Renee smiled and answered, "Naturally, I feel that there is no problem in going along with this idea. As Arran had said, it is more convenient this way and would save us a lot of time if we were to join forces together.""I don't see why we cannot cooperate.""Hmm..." Terrence nodded.Then he said, "Since that is what you think then I can also safely assume that Daphne will go along with your thoughts. is that right?"Daphne remained quiet as usual and only nodded to show her response."Hmm..." Terrence nodded once again.Then he let out a very deep sigh before continuing
There was no suspense and Arran was naturally able to team up with Renee and her group. with him joining the team, they focused once more on clearing the undead horde around them and made their way steadily forward.With the help of Arran's various abilities, their progress was much faster than when either of them worked on their own and this result naturally made both parties happy. The only one who could not bring himself to enjoy this outcome was Terrence.Naturally, it was a good thing that the team was making fast progress towards the end of this death-infested land but Terrence was not happy at all. This was because the credit of all this did not lie with him but with Arran instead.Because of Arran's contribution, Terrence's own incapabilities were further highlighted and he was relegated to a background position in the team. With the way things were going, Terrence felt that should his position in the team fall down to a certain level and there came a ti
It took an extra five minutes to clear the rest of the undead creatures around them and during this time, the undead knight did not interfere at all. It simply just sat there on top of its mount and stared straight ahead. Not even the undead creatures under its control made a move and this made the five of them feel a little strange.After they were finished with clearing out the rest of the undead creatures around them and there were no more coming to disturb them, the five of them finally came together to discuss how they would deal with the undead knight.They were a fair distance between the group and the undead knight and the discussion on how to deal with the undead knight had already begun.One by one, different ideas on how to deal with the undead knight were being brought to the table by both Terrence and Renee. Some of them were promising while some of them were quite risky. It was difficult to know what to do about an enemy they did not know anything
Arran and the undead knight faced off against each other.Currently, the two of them were about forty meters away from where Renee and the rest were. Arran felt that they were too close to each other. As it was his job to hold the undead knight back and prevent it from interfering with daphne, he wanted to lure the undead knight away from here.Naturally, there was no problem with that but there was only one issue.For some reason, ever since Arran showed up in front of the undead knight, it had not taken its eyes away from him.With Arran hovering in the air and the undead knight sitting on its mount, the two of them stared at each other unwavering.Arran did not know it was an illusion he was seeing but he felt that the longer the undead knight looked at him, the more intensely the soul flame in its head burned brightly. It was almost as if there was a kind of intense desire burning in the undead knight as it looked at Arran.Seeing the de
Arran was sent flying by the undead knight who was in hot pursuit. The mount of the undead knight was also undead and it opened its rotting carapace and revealed a set of thins cicada wings that were filled with holes.Arran did not understand the physics of it but he was pretty sure that in normal circumstances, wings like that should not be capable of flight. Unfortunately, not everything in the universe could be understood by science so Arran did not even bother to think about it. Instead, with a flap of his wings, Arran retreated, keeping a two-meter distance between himself and the undead knight.At this distance, the undead knight would still be able to hit him with its attacks but it would also give Arran time to react.Just as Arran was retreating and the undead knight was hot in pursuit of him, suddenly, Arran noticed the fireball that was in the distance which Daphne had condensed after so long finally start to move.Daphne chucked the massive f
"Wow!""That's some power you've got there. An explosion of such proportions is enough to defeat anybody at our level. Terrifying..."Terrence sung praises to Daphne.He was truly in awe at her pure destructive might.Normally, an the kind of explosion a fireball of the size that Daphne had conjured was definitely expected to be huge but it would not reach the scale that Daphne's had. The only reason why daphne's fireball had carried so much wield was solely due to the explosion trait that accompanied all of her attacks. this is the reason why all of Daphne's attacks were so powerful.Even Renee had this same explosive trait and it was why they were very suitable for the supreme law of destruction which the two sisters comprehended.This was the reason why the two sisters were considered as the top geniuses in their set right now. It was because the two of them had both awakened to the supreme law of destruction upon first opening their real
Just as Renee had guessed, the undead knight had indeed managed to survive the blast from the explosion of the fireball by using the huge body of its mount to bear the brunt of the explosion. Even if that was the case, it had not been able to escape being damaged to a certain extent.When Arran had thrown the undead knight into the blast zone, it had wanted to let Arran perish along with it. using a secret undead technique, the undead knight had tried to pull Arran into the blast zone but it had not succeeded and Arran had been able to escape using an unknown method.Right now, Arran's situation was unknown to it. As the undead knight had almost resigned itself to facing the explosion of the fireball head-on, that was when its mount had finally managed to reach its side.Seeing an opportunity to survive, the undead knight had unfeelingly sacrificed its undead scarab king and had used its huge body to bear the brunt of the explosion for him. Now that it had manag
The clash of powers from all directions resulted in a loud explosion that threw everyone every which way.From above the sky where the bolt of lightning had originated, a speeding figure dove into the dust cloud that was raised from the resulting blast, and in the next moment, it escaped the dust with a weak and incapacitated Daphne in its grasp.Ahh!What the hell!Roar!There were screams and roars everywhere and as Renee and Terrence were sent flying as a result of the blast, they shielded their eyes while trying to look at what had happened."What was that just now? What had attacked us?" Renee asked aloud to no one in particular.Terrence who had been a distance away from the center of the blast and had only been affected minimally said to Renee."I don't know, but it came from the sky. It looked like something had descended from the sky and had entered into the blast zone after the explosion. It all happened so fast. I co
