Death… And Me

Chapter 2682  Catch the Fish

What Kafan was in doubt was how far the Wonder Beasts would go before they turned around and run back to the tower. At first, there wasnʼt really a need to check that since they had the strength to kill the Wonder Beasts at the end of the Chaos Laws and Energy waves that the beasts followed. However, with that teleportation ability that didnʼt seem to use Spatial Laws, things got trickier.

After the experts reached the point Kafan mentioned, he gave the order. ”You will only fight them for twenty seconds. After that, I want you all to retreat. Those with supporting type Domains will stay on the back and far from each other. Use your Domains to help everyone flee. The Wonder Beasts will pursue us, and the other Wonder Beasts in the towerʼs range wonʼt have time to notice anything. Alright, start!”

Rean and Roan were the first ones to jump forward. Their domains werenʼt supporting types and couldnʼt increase anyoneʼs strength, so there was no point in them staying behind. Even Kentucky and Celis Domains were no different. They were Domains used against the enemies, not themselves. Besides, they were too strong to be kept watching.

Everyone quickly pounced at the Wonder Beasts, just like the twinsʼ group. During those twenty seconds, no one held back at they killed more and more Wonder Beasts. The group of Wonder Beasts they were attacking had almost two hundred of them, and in the twenty seconds determined by Kafan, over fifty died. Fifteen were done by the twinsʼ group alone.

”Retreat!” Kafan didnʼt lose focus on the time and issued the order. Immediately, all the experts turned around and began to flee. The experts with supporting domains activated them, which made it even easier to retreat. At the same time, the Semi-Celestials joined the back and helped block the Wonder Beasts just like they did before.

The Wonder Beasts pursued their group as fast as they could, but they posed no threat to the experts running. After a few minutes of full-speed retreat, the Wonder Beasts finally stopped. They instinctively felt their power diminishing and sought the tower once again.

”Great! Everyone, attack!” Kafan didnʼt lose the opportunity and issued the order to attack once again. The Wonder Beasts ignored everything and continued to run back. It was a copy of the events that happened before. Itʼs just that the Realm of Godsʼ experts were in control of it now.

With the Wonder Beasts ignoring the attacks, it became quite easy to get rid of them. In the end, only nineteen Wonder Beasts managed to return to the towerʼs range. The weaker cultivators obviously didnʼt pursue those Wonder Beasts deep into the towerʼs range. There were thousands of Wonder Beasts still there. Instead, they focused on absorbing the very rich concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy left behind by the Wonder Beasts they killed. This time, not a single expert in their groups died.

Kafan and the other Semi-Celesitals nodded, satisfied. If things continued like this, it wouldnʼt take more than a few days to get rid of all the Wonder Beasts around the tower. They would be able to finally enter it. Of course, Kafan wasnʼt feeling relaxed. Roanʼs words were still in his mind, so he kept a close watch of everyone.

Once again, it took several hours for the weaker experts to absorb the Chaos Laws and Energy of the dead Wonder Beasts. They also took their time to recover their strength and attack the next group. And then the next, and the next after that one. Everything was going extremely well for the Realm of Godsʼ experts. Only two members of their group died during several attacks, while they got over two thousand Wonder Beasts killed.

Not only that, even the Space-Time Realm experts were now reaching a level of Chaos Cultivation that wasnʼt too far away from the Semi-Celestials. That only gave everyone even more confidence.

As things happened, Roan kept his eyes on the Golden Drohares. They always helped with the attacks and followed the order perfectly. They showed absolutely no signs of trying to disrupt their companions or other races. If anything, they were contributing quite a lot to the outcome of these battles. ʼCould it be I was wrong?ʼ Roan couldnʼt help but wonder.

Of course, there was also the fact that Kafan was being much more careful this time. He never initiated an attack if he wasnʼt absolutely sure the other groups of Wonder Beasts were far enough for them to have a safe retreat. Even if a sudden teleport of Wonder Beasts happened again, they would be prepared for it, especially now that everyoneʼs overall strength increase so much.

Nonetheless, neither Kafan nor Roan liked this feeling of ʼwhat ifʼ over their heads. Kafan then sent Roan a Divine Sense Message. ʼWhat do you think?ʼ

ʼEver since that pincer attack, I havenʼt seen the Wonder Beasts doing anything that could be considered an intelligent decision,ʼ Roan answered. ʼThere is a chance I was wrong and that situation was truly nothing but a coincidence.ʼ

Kafan new Roan wasnʼt like that. ʼYou donʼt like it.ʼ

ʼI donʼt like it at all!ʼ Roan nodded, not hiding his concerns. ʼMaster...ʼ

ʼI know,ʼ Kafan understood what Roan wanted. ʼTime spread the net to see if we can catch the fish.ʼ

In the end, with Kafanʼs careful management, he truly might have cut all chances of another situation like the first time. To lure the enemy out, he had to give them a chance.

ʼGood!ʼ Roan agreed with Kafan. ʼBesides, the strength of our whole group is increasing nonstop. If there was really someone controlling the Wonder Beasts at that time, they should be quite concerned by now. All they need is a change to cause havoc again.ʼ

Kafan then noticed a few more waves of Chaos Laws and Energy coming out of the tower and spreading in different directions. The weakest one obviously had the least amount of Wonder Beasts following it while absorbing it all. Yet, that weakest wave was still far above what he usually would consider acceptable to attack since there were over four hundred Wonder Beasts still following it. ʼSeems like our chance has arrived too.ʼ

ʼEven better,ʼ Roan wanted to act immediately. ʼWhen the time comes, I need you to do something for me.
