Chapter Summary
And since we have already worked together in teams, we all know how it's going to work. "Alright then, let's scatter," he said before they all turned to leave in different directions while Alphonso went along with Evelyn. " The short man cursed, despite having been warned beforehand and even after locating the trap, one of them was captured even before they could do anything.
Chapter 172 Leader of heretic group!
Sigfor knows?
Chapter 172 "Also, I am just assuming, it's likely that their numbers are around just this much.
Otherwise, the elder would have long been alerted if so many intruders were trying to breach his barrier.
And since we have already worked together in teams, we all know how it's going to work.
" "Hmm.
" Alphonso nodded and glanced at Amber, who also nodded her head in agreement.
"Alright then, let's scatter," he said before they all turned to leave in different directions while Alphonso went along with Evelyn.
____________ "A lock array?
" The woman in dark robes from before remarked, amused, as she examined the broken door before her.
"Humph, do they really think that such cheap tactics could deter us from pursuing them?
" the burly man said arrogantly.
"Childish behavior," commented the man with a short height while he inspected the broken door and searched for any hidden traps but found none.
"I can sense them already.
They are not far from us," said the short man.
"Around six individuals—likely around Rank-1 at best from their auras," the woman said slyly as she licked her lips in excitement.
"With the three of us working together, even sixty Rank-1 exorcists are nothing!
" the burly man declared in a deep voice.
"Follow them.
" The woman took out a compass and began locating where the exorcist with the disaster beast egg was and started following the directions.
"Wait a moment.
" The short man in dark robes suddenly stopped them, halting everyone along.
"What happened?
" The burly man couldn't help but frown, he had never held an appreciation for the short fellow, not only was this man too cowardly but also tended to think about things a bit too much.
He was always on guard and never fought head-on like real men.
He disdained this man.
"There is a strange-looking array ahead of us.
It's been concealed well; I would have almost missed it had it not been for the sloppy setup.
It looks like a trap set up by the exorcists, but due to lack of time, they weren't able to fix it up properly.
" The short man concluded his analysis.
"This…" the woman paused and waved her hand, sending dark espera towards the point where the hidden array was supposed to be.
"It's indeed a trap.
" And sure enough, the dark espera quickly revealed the hidden array that was drawn on the floor.
"Humph!
So what if it's a trap?
In front of brute strength, this is nothing but a childish trick!
" Not wanting to admit that the short man was right this time as well, the burly man walked right to the array.
"What are you doing?
Stop!
" The duo's expression changed when they saw the burly man approach the array without a care.
While they did not doubt his strength, it was simply a foolish thought to just walk right into a trap when they could avoid it or destroy it from afar.
"Shut up!
Be a man like me.
Such tricks are useless against me.
" However, just as the burly man confidently stepped inside the array, ready to break it apart with his brute force, something no one had expected happened.
The instant his feet landed on the array, it buzzed to life and was instantly activated.
The next moment a dense green light started surrounding the man.
"Hmm?
" The burly man glanced around in confusion for a moment before a strong wave of dizziness washed over him.
Bang!
He then instantly collapsed to the ground like a lifeless body.
"Fuck!
This muscle-headed idiot!
Did he die?
" The short man cursed, despite having been warned beforehand and even after locating the trap, one of them was captured even before they could do anything.
What sort of idiotic team was this?
"How did he get into the mission?
" the woman asked in a dark voice.
She couldn't fathom how such a foolish man had managed to get selected for such an important mission.
"I don't know!
" "The green light is blocking my senses.
I can't tell whether this bastard is dead or just unconscious.
This fucker has made the mission more difficult.
" "What do we do now?
" the woman questioned.
"I suggest we destroy the array first," the short man said.
"Hmm.
Indeed.
Even if he's alive right now, when the array is destroyed, he will die.
We can't leave anything behind.
Or…" the woman paused before adding.
"We deal with exorcists inside first, get the egg and then see if he still remains in this state.
And even if by then he is still like this, we kill him," she suggested.
"Such a waste of the sect's resources," the other man snorted in disdain.
While this burly man had very few equals when it came to brute physical force, he was as weak as an ant against poison or spells.
But since the muscle-headed man was braindead due to the excessive amount of muscles in his brain, he did not realize this and would have anyhow died a pitiful death.
Truly an orc-mentality.
The man thought this and shook his head.
"Let's enter.
We have to wrap this up as soon as possible.
They are close yet scattered all around.
" The woman said, her robes flickering in the wind.
"The one with the disaster beast egg is on the right.
I will handle him.
You go and kill the others.
We can't leave behind any witnesses only for the Mystic Purge Clan to track us later on," she said before quickly heading to the east—the direction where Oliver was supposed to be.
"Tch, fucking bitch, always deciding on her own.
" the man snorted and headed west to eliminate all the others.
________________ "Who are you?
" Sigfor asked in a calm, deep voice, the air behind him was trembling under his espera.
Right now, he was facing a man whose face and body were entirely covered in a dark cloak with strange patterns.
"Judging from your unsightly espera and those patterns, I assume you belong to the Unholy Sun Sect?
" The black hooded man slowly took off his hood revealing his facial features to Sigfor.
Sigfor's pupils dilated as he recognized the man and a surge of hatred burst out from his heart.
He didn't even need a moment to recognize the man!
