Chapter 1012 - 878: Exposed
As they approached the range where the enemy could scout, Longbei transformed into lightning and charged into the mist high above.
He disappeared within the swirling mist.
In contrast, Raphael and the others suddenly stopped in their tracks and, along with the Explorers behind them, began to lay an ambush.
However, they didn’t completely settle into hiding, prepared to adjust the ambush location based on Longbei’s actions.
The colorful gleams flickered among the Explorers.
Dazzling electrical lights flashed out.
"Boom!"
A massive bolt of lightning emerged from the clouds and struck the statue.
The Archbishop reacted quickly, countless tentacles appearing around him, intertwining and folding to form a silver Great Shield.
The shield blocked the lightning.
The Archbishop cursed loudly, "It’s you again, you lightning runt, today I’m going to extract your soul and offer it to my lord."
The blocked lightning transformed into plasma, spreading through the surrounding mist.
It then condensed into a lightning-shaped Longbei, although Longbei only exposed his upper half.
The massive upper body appeared in the swirling mist, like a Thunder God, exerting immense pressure on everyone below.
Lightning surged from his body, intermittently appearing and disappearing within the mist.
"Oh, dear Scarford, don’t be so quick to anger. Why are you setting up the statue today? Shouldn’t such dirty, laborious work be left to others?
Could it be... you haven’t become the manager of this area yet?"
"It seems your faith in the Deep Light is not as devout as Hartford’s, no wonder you’re still running errands like a pawn."
Even as he spoke, he unleashed a lightning storm on the camp below.
Countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, draping the entire camp.
The bishops and followers observing Kane in the camp found themselves caught in the chaos, frantically using various abilities to try to shield themselves.
"Shut your damned mouth."
A thick silver tentacle appeared from the Void, swinging directly toward Longbei.
A hand formed of lightning grasped the tentacle, and a massive Thunder Hammer materialized in mid-air, wielded downward, striking fiercely.
The two immediately battled against each other.
Even in battle, Longbei didn’t forget to taunt his opponent: "Ah, someone’s angry. Not only are they weaker than their brother, but they’re also less intelligent.
And not even as devout to their master as their brother, always being bossed around. Truly pitiful."
As his words fell, countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, with the mist surrounding them filled with roaming electricity.
"The reason the Deep Light chose you as a devotee, wasn’t it because you came as an add-on to your brother?"
These words pierced deeply into Scarford’s heart, instantly shattering his defense.
"You runt, shut your mouth."
Countless tentacles surged from the Void, intertwining and nearly engulfing the surroundings, clashing violently with Longbei’s lightning.
With tentacles wildly swinging and lightning spreading all around, no one dared intervene.
Seeing the enemy’s defense break and their shame turn to anger, Longbei’s massive lightning-formed face showed a wanton smile.
This was a rare opportunity to mock someone during the colorful phase, worth cherishing.
The enemy, forced to retreat, encountered Raphael and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
The enemy had already been affected by Longbei’s initial large-scale attacks, with their bodies already covered in scars.
Some even had their souls numbed.
Faced with the ambush that awaited them, several followers were lost in an instant.
The two sides rapidly engaged in combat.
Powerful Fairy Tale elements appeared on the battlefield, each reaching the three-color stage in strength.
Kane was accompanied by three Explorer Squads, all members who had joined the Guild in the past decade.
Technically speaking, they were all students of Lilu.
Being direct descendants of the Platinum Country, they were among the earliest to reach gold-level strength as Fairy Tale Mages.
Under Lilu’s blessing, each squad could summon a Fairy Tale element reaching the three-color stage.
This was primarily to supplement Longbei’s less than ideal skills during battles of equal level, helping him to hold off enemies of the three-color stage.
Since whether it was Kane, Kreya, or even Meizike, they all had such skills.
Therefore, every hunting operation Longbei led involved three squads of Fairy Tale Mages.
Besides the three powerful Fairy Tale elements.
Raphael transformed into feathers, becoming energy, spiraling through the battlefield, harvesting the enemy’s lives.
Kafka spread a pair of massive, bloody bat wings, and various blood-red energies began to appear across the battlefield, their sinister form seeming even more evil than the enemy.
Occasionally, lightning still struck from above the enemy’s heads.
Longbei knew he couldn’t eliminate the enemy before him, so he kept a wary eye on their battlefield.
Occasionally using lightning to rescue or attack.
No one on the battlefield could withstand Longbei’s lightning, each accurate strike instantly incapacitating an enemy.
Greatly speeding up the enemy’s demise.
Scarford before Longbei finally calmed down.
The first thing he did was check the battle area a short distance away from them.
Things were not looking optimistic on their side.
"The God-Haters have started another hunting activity?"
"Do you really need me to answer something so obvious? Are you thinking of betraying the Deep Light?"
"Your mind seems quite ineffective."
At this point, the enemy already had no desire to communicate with him, loudly speaking something towards the battlefield.
Since it was the enemy’s language, Longbei couldn’t really understand, but he could roughly hear words related to retreat.
"They’re going to retreat, leave a few more behind."
Upon hearing Longbei’s words, Raphael and the others on the battlefield immediately began to hold back the enemies in front of them.
However, more enemies heard the Archbishop’s words and dispersedly fled, rushing into the Mist.
As for when they could walk back, that would depend on their own fortune.
At this point, Scarford stared at Longbei: "Shorty, next time I’ll definitely tear out your tongue."
"You said the same thing last time." Longbei shrugged disdainfully at the Archbishop in front of him.
"Hmph."
Scarford disappeared into the Mist.
Longbei didn’t want to try to stop him; after all, they had fought many times, and each knew the other’s abilities.
Trying to hold back the enemy was just a waste of time.
Don’t even think about taking down the enemy.
Watching the enemy disappear, Longbei opened his massive Thunder Hammer hand, crushing the statue into powder.
Electric light then gathered around Raphael and the others, once again coalescing into Longbei’s form.
"Hurry, clean up the spoils, and let’s continue moving forward. The enemy already knows about our hunting action and is about to shrink their defenses, so seize this opportunity to kill a few more."
Raphael and the others had already anticipated this.
After tidying up the spoils, they led their teams into the Mist.
Longbei and the others quickly prepared to continue forward.
At this moment, Kane, who had just dealt with an enemy team, received a message from Longbei.
"This discovery happened fast, who did Longbei run into." Kane muttered to himself.
If they had merely encountered a regular team, silence would suffice.
Subsequently, the Explorers behind him heard Kane’s voice.
"Speed up the action, be prepared; we are heading directly to the enemy’s camp."
Upon hearing Kane’s words, everyone instantly showed a serious expression, quickening their pace and quickly organizing their belongings to ensure perfection.
Besides Kane, Kreya and the others, including Lilu and the rest, did the same.
They still had a golden period to attack the enemy.
Missing it would make it difficult to inflict significant damage on the enemy, and there’s even a possibility that the enemy might counterattack and trap them, causing considerable losses.
Previously, Scarford, whom Longbei encountered, was now trying to hurry back to their advancing camp.
Since they were outside the Mist, this chaotic space might cause them to get lost within it.
So even if the distance was dozens of kilometers, it might take them a long time to return.
However, for an enemy of Scarford’s caliber, it wouldn’t take as much time.
Moreover, they were accustomed to this area, able to find subtle patterns within it and accurately judge their direction.
No choice, even the enemy isn’t foolish; they also learn.
years of war and both sides have been learning from each other.
Judging by past assumptions, there was roughly three days of golden time.
So some unimportant teams were lazy about wasting time.
Quickly raiding along the way, Kane and the others arrived around the target they had long planned.
The end of their chosen route 4 was the furthest edge among the three advancing camps of the enemy.
This was also their target this time.
In past hunting actions, they had never targeted the enemy’s advancing camp but hunted around it.
It’s not that Kane and the others lacked the strength to launch an attack on the enemy’s advancing camp; it’s just that Kane had never issued such a target.
Now was the right time.
They needed the enemy to suffer enough tragic losses this time, so they would have time to leave and do their own things.
Many times before, they had wanted to raid the enemy’s camp, but Kane had refuted them each time.
Possessing the Divine Gaze and developing it perfectly, Kane always had a premonition it wasn’t time, it wasn’t the opportunity.
Especially for these decisions that weren’t particularly important, Kane preferred listening to his premonitions.
After all, raiding the enemy’s camp didn’t necessarily mean it was of great importance.
But perhaps in the future, it would bring a surprise.
Seeing the approaching target in the distance, Kane immediately raised his left hand.
The Explorers behind him immediately stopped their steps and crouched down fully, the modular cloak on them began to exert its greatest effect.
The versatile energy transformed into white mist flowing through them, merging them completely with the surrounding white mist.
Even if an Explorer passed by, they wouldn’t suspect anything was hidden here, let alone the enemies.
Kane looked at the distant target, his eyes flashing gold.
The gold flash lasted nearly 10 minutes.
"Did the counter-prediction activate?"
Prediction targeting the enemy camp had no effect.
Thinking carefully, it seemed it wasn’t a big issue.
After all, it was the enemy’s important camp, having a counter-prediction spell was a normal situation.
Even their fortress had a counter-prediction, conversely without it Kane would worry if the enemy had some trick.
In the distance, the enemy’s advancing camp was completely in Kane’s view.
