1943: Change of Plan

Change of Plan

"!!!" Walker received a report and informed Rea. "Not good. There are explosions coming from the army. These explosions are said to be coming from humans."1

"Huh? Suicide bombers? Or…" Rea widened her eyes in shock. She didn't finish her words, but the meaning was clear.

In fact, they were most likely the culprits.

Walker nodded with a serious expression. "I am afraid that they are coming from those unique monsters…"

"…" Rea's expression darkened. On the one hand, the battlefield had just found its balance. On the other hand, she didn't have any idea how these unique monsters managed to infiltrate their ranks.

After all, they had put strict surveillance to make sure that no spies were mixed into it. Yet, they actually managed to bypass everything they had prepared.

"This is…" Rea gritted her teeth, glancing back and forth. "What should we do? Should we split our force here? No, if we split them up, there is a chance that the unique monsters will try to attack the couple.

"Then, what should we do? My current condition doesn't allow me to handle these unique monsters by myself." Rea frowned.

She tried to find a solution, but there was no feasible plan at the moment.

It seemed that the Dark King had some spare energy when fighting against the King Class Monsters that he managed to check the situation, including the distress reflected on her face.

The Dark King knew that something was going on. He glanced at his wife and shouted, "I think you should help those humans handle these weird monsters. I'll handle all the Kings here."

"!!!" The Shadow King was confused, but when she glanced at her surroundings, she understood his concern immediately.

The Shadow King obviously didn't like this situation. She wanted to fight these two King Class Monsters, relieving a lot of pressure from her husband.

Although she had some confidence in her husband, four King Class Monsters were still too much.

Unfortunately, it seemed that this was the best option.

She took a deep breath before clasping her hands. Suddenly, the shadow of all things rose into the sky, turning into a giant black wall that isolated all six King Class Monsters inside.

The monsters didn't understand what she was planning to do. But the Dark King had already made his next move.

With a single wave of his hand, the tip of the wall suddenly flew toward the middle, closing the entire area.

Because there was no more sunlight entering the cylinder, the entire battlefield was enveloped by darkness.

"Hmm?"

"Destroy it."

The Humanoid Rock slammed the ground with all his strength, causing the soil and rock to come out. The uneven ground kept spreading until eventually it reached the shadow wall, crushing it into pieces.

And at that time, the light returned and they got their visibility back.

However, the change in brightness was followed by a scream.

"Aaaahhhh!"

The chameleon was holding his right hand, which had been cut by the Dark King.

"!!!" They never expected that the Dark King would use that darkness to almost kill one of them. If not for the fact that the chameleon was also a King Class Monster, he would have died from that attack.

Still, the fact that the Dark King used this ability was a bit concerning. Although the idea and the execution were good, the timing was far from it.

Now that they had seen this ability, they already knew what to expect the moment they did the same thing. So, this ability wouldn't work on them anymore.

Why would the Dark King actually use an ability that he could only use once?

When they asked that question, an answer came into their mind as they all looked around, trying to find one more figure.

Surprisingly, the Shadow King had disappeared.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters were stunned, thinking the Shadow King still had a trick on her sleeve. Seeing how one trick could almost kill one of them, another would surely kill them. So, they regrouped in order to strengthen their defense, not wanting to be ambushed again.

They were trying to find the Shadow King who was nowhere to be seen.

The Dark King smiled as if he was in control. He started using all his abilities, trying to distract them. This way, their fear would be reinforced and the enemies wouldn't have the time to think about the Shadow King.

In the meantime, the Shadow King had been hiding inside someone's shadow. And that shadow was none other than Rea's shadow.

She had escaped from the battlefield and came to ask about the situation.

"So, the enemies have infiltrated that deep. I don't know how they do it, but I think you know more than me."

Rea shook her head. "I'm afraid I don't have any explanation either. In fact, if I have the idea, I can create a countermeasure.

"That's why right now, I'm trying to figure out the situation before making my move. This is the most important battlefield right now because the moment all three of us fall, the enemies will definitely cause long-lasting damage.

"So, I have to be careful in giving commands in this situation." Rea bit her lips, frustrated by the fact that she couldn't handle this problem.

While she was thinking, the Shadow King gave a suggestion. "It's better to follow my way then. I don't like thinking too much, so I'm going to tell you that we'll crush these people by ourselves.

"Tell your trusted person to protect my child and send the entire army back to where they belong. Meanwhile, you and I will handle all these weird monsters. I'm curious as to how they can gain these abilities.

"So, I'm going to fight them while learning about it. I know that you are heavily injured, but you should be able to fight a lot of these monsters, right?"

Rea contemplated for a moment. "With my current strength and remaining Magic Power, killing thirty of them shouldn't be a problem. I'll also assist you in the meantime."

"Good. Let's do it."
