Death… And Me Chapter 2681 Controlling?

Chapter 2681  Controlling?

Kafan returned to his humanoid form while shaking his head. "I don't know. They truly just appeared out of nowhere. No, not exactly nowhere. I saw that group approaching, and they had noticed our group from the distance. However, they were quite far away, so we would be able to escape without issues. Yet, they seemed to simply teleport, joining the Wonder Beasts we were retreating from and the Wonder Beasts coming from further back."

Kafan looked at the experts absorbing the Chaos Laws and Energy from the Wonder Beasts, growing stronger. Nonetheless, this one a.s.sault alone made them lose almost thirty experts. Before, they had made several attacks and had lost only a little more than ten. It was a big loss since their initial group only had around 400 experts. 10% of them died already.

Gragatou then turned his attention to the twins' group. "I might be wrong here, but the way your group reacted... Did you know it was going to happen?"

The other Semi-Celestials also looked at the twins. They might have been further back, holding the rear, but their Divine Senses and Chaos Cultivations were fully spread. They saw everything that happened in the front. That's why they continued in the rear, holding the back. Otherwise, they would have given up and tried to save as many of their own subordinates as possible before retreating on their own.

Roan shook his head. "We only considered this possibility, although we weren't certain it was possible."

"What do you mean?" Sansara asked.

"You saw the Loporrits, didn't you?" Roan asked, and everyone understood, so he continued. "Since the Loporrits, who lived in this place for so long, could appear and disappear anywhere they wanted, why couldn't the Wonder Beasts? It's just that the Wonder Beasts don't have intelligence, so I truly doubted such a thing would happen. Nonetheless, we had always kept ourselves ready in case such a thing occurred."

"You could have mentioned that before the attacks started." The one who talked was a Semi-Celestial called Xude, a Lightning Spirit. Until a month ago, he was completely unknown to all the other Semi-Celesitials. That's because he was one of the hidden Semi-Celesitals of the Vruve Organization. He came into this Wonderland by staying inside Bracius Pocket Dimensional Realm. Roan nodded. "That was indeed a mistake. I thought the possibility was so remote that I didn't want our experts to divide their attention from the main battles, waiting for something that would never happen."

Kafan intervened. "The important thing is that they were ready and mitigated the outcome. Also, thanks to all of this, we managed to kill a lot of Wonder Beasts outside the tower's range. The Chaos Laws and Energy they have will increase the remaining experts' strength by a lot. We just need to be careful with that now."

Rean then glanced at Roan, knowing it wasn't everything. 'You should have mentioned that other thing to them.'

Roan shook his head, though. 'I don't know if any of them is involved in this. Mentioning it now might have a worse effect.'

Wonder Beasts don't have intelligence. That much everyone seemed to agree with. Yet, the way the Wonder Beasts teleported to make a perfect pincer attack seemed way too good to be true. Not only that, but Roan also felt like the Chaos laws and Energy inside those Wonder Beasts seemed to have gone through an almost imperceptible change for a moment. Only he detected it, thanks to his connection with Lolio.

That's what the twins were worried about. The chance that someone or something was controlling the Wonder Beasts and made them teleport to that place to cause havoc. Their groups wouldn't be wiped out even if the twins' group wasn't there. Nonetheless, the losses wouldn't be merely thirty-something in that event.

Roan then glanced at the Golden Drohares in the distance. The slight difference in the Wonder Beasts he felt was very similar to the weird sensation he felt inside the three Golden Drahares before the attacks started. It was only present in the Wonder Beasts that teleported, though. The ones pursuing them from behind were normal.

Rean also noticed that and looked at the Drohares. 'Is it them?'

'Perhaps,' Roan answered without changing his expression. 'It is too subtle for me to be certain, though.'

Roan then turned his attention to Kafan. At least Kafan could be trusted, so he shared his concerns with him. 'Understood?'

Kafan also didn't show the surprise on his face, but his mind was different. 'Are you certain?'

'No,' Roan shook his head.

Nonetheless, that was enough for Kafan. 'Alright, I will be more careful this time to not give a chance for the same thing to happen.'

Kafan and the others then discussed the next steps while the weaker experts increased their strength with the dead Wonder Beasts. They accounted fot the possibility of more of them teleporting and closing their path of retreat, so they decided to wait longer but be certain that no more than two mobs would be nearby at once when attacking.

They waited a full day in that place, only killing the Wonder Beasts that normally roamed that region. The experts finished absorbing the Chaos Laws and Energy of the dead Wonder Beasts in just a few hours. The rest of the day was used to recover from injuries or replenish their energy with Divine Stones and the like.

Kafan then took the lead as he returned to his Death Spirit form. "I can see that all of you have improved a lot, which is natural. Not only did you get more used to the Wonder Beasts' patterns... or lack of them, but you also got more Chaos Laws and Energy at once than ever before. We should be able to deal much more damage this time but we will take a safer approach. We still have time."

The experts had their concerns, but they were also excited with their gain of strength with Chaos Cultivation. Some of them even used the Chaos Laws for the Laws comprehension as well. No doubt, this attack was extremely beneficial to them, even if they didn't enter the tower in the end.

He then gave the first order. "Now, move 61 kilometers to the east. We will try something different with this next pack."
