1683: Eliminating Enemies

Eliminating Enemies

Hume immediately gave up on the battle against his opponent and changed his target to Rean and his group. However...0

"Hahaha! I don't know who they are, but they definitely have my thanks!" Suddenly, Hume's Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm enemy laughed out loud. 

'Thunder Crows!'

Several crows made out of lightning appeared everywhere around Hume, charging at him with high amounts of Lightning Element imbued in them. They were already fast due to the element they had. But with Space Power added to them, they became even more terrifying. Without much choice, Hume was forced to stop and defend himself.

'Fire Tornado Barrier!'

Wind and Fire Element gathered before forming a scourging tornado of fire around Hume. 

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

All the Thunder Crows exploded on touch, unable to pass through the tornado.

Hume wasn't happy, though. "You! Can't you see that they'll get the Sense Seed if you stop me?"

His enemy shook his head, saying, "They won't. Look at the four of them. All of them have already recovered all their senses. They can finish this test anytime they want. Those who already got all five senses back can't absorb any more seeds. I wonder. What did you do for them to not finish the test and come after your group? Well, whatever the reason may be, I can definitely say I'm lucky! Hahaha!"

Rean's group obviously didn't stop there. As Hume fought his enemy, Rean used his Light Element to make his group disappear once again before they reappeared in another location to attack the mercenaries. This time, however, the mercenaries were aware of a new hiding enemy, so they were able to defend themselves... or so they tried.

Unfortunately, the battle formation of Rean's group increased their attack strength way too much. Besides, with their other Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm opponent dead, the others had even less of a chance of defending themselves.

'Life Fire, First Form, Flame Emperor Slash!'

'Myriad Water Dragons!'

'Heavens' Calamity!'

'Three Suns' Collision!'

There was no reason to hold back, so all of them used their strongest attacks again. 

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

This time, only two mercenaries died, though. The other two were heavily injured. Nevertheless, Blansin's group was now down to three members. Blansin himself, a mercenary in the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, and Hume, who was fighting in the distance.

Hume understood that the situation had completely changed, so he gave up on this fight. "Blansin, Tiyei, crush your badges!"

Blansin and Tiyei didn't need to hear that twice. They crushed their badges, which immediately activated, sending them out of the Null Senses Realm.

Hume didn't intend to stay there either. He also crushed his badge, making his body disappear in the next second.

Last but not least, of the mercenaries that were heavily injured by Rean's group, two of them were still conscious, so they also crushed their badges even earlier. Blansin's group had ten mercenaries at first, but now it was left with four. Two of them were in no condition to fight anymore either.

Seeing how Blansin's group disappeared, Erla couldn't help but feel rage. She then looked at the unconscious mercenaries who hadn't crushed their badges and immediately ended their lives right there and then. However, that didn't make her feel any better. "Fuck! Four of them still escaped."

Rean patted her shoulder in response. "It's fine. We eliminated most of them. Besides, it doesn't really matter how many we kill. The elders outside can simply contract new ones. But then again, since they sent these mercenaries, that means they were the best ones they could find. The next ones, if they come at all, won't be as tough."

Min agreed with Rean. "He's right. In any case, Blansin did a great job telling us about it beforehand. We purposely aimed our attacks at him as well, injuring his body quite a lot. He can totally pretend he was also a target and come back to tell us about the next group later."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Rean's group's ears. "The four of you, I hope you're not thinking about getting in my way as well." The one who talked was none other than Hume's opponent. With Hume gone, he was naturally free now.

Rean quickly shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, sir. We had a personal vendetta with that group. We already got our seeds and recovered our senses, so we have no use for the seed in this zone. Good luck on your search."

"Wait right there!" However, the man didn't let Rean's group go that easily. "Before you leave, you have to tell me how all of you got enough seeds to recover all of your senses. That's just way too fast!"

Rean smiled in response, replying, "I would love to help you. Unfortunately, the one responsible for our success isn't here at the moment."

The guy snorted in response. "Hmph! In that case, I have no reason to let you go either. I'll make you stay here until I find this guy and get his help to find more seeds for my group."

Rean shook his head once he heard that, telling him, "Sadly, you don't have time for that."

"What?!" The man was taken aback when suddenly, he heard a call for help.

"Graco, why the hell are you taking so long? We're still fighting the other groups for the fucking seed in this zone. Come back and help us, now!"

Graco was obviously the man's name. He looked back and could see that his own group members were having a hard time against the other groups there. In the end, he looked at Rean's group one last time and gritted his teeth. "Count yourselves lucky." Soon after, he charged against one of the enemies who had a similar level of cultivation to his own.

Rean shrugged his shoulders after that. With the battle formation and his own strength, he was pretty confident he was able to fight the guy to a standstill at the very least. "Alright, we're done here. Let's get out."

"What about Roan and the others?" Habac asked.

Rean smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. They're almost done collecting their share of seeds."
