More than 10 apostles stepped out from behind Snow Mountain. They opened their mouths and large volumes of poisonous gas spurted out towards Wheatley.
Wheatley's face changed when she saw the poisonous gases surging towards her. She suddenly faded into thin air as she activated her power of Awareness and attempted to escape through the Awareness Dimension.
However, she was pulled back into the real world in the next moment and landed with a loud thud on the floor. She wailed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wheatley stared at Snow Mountain in disbelief. "You sealed the dimension?"
Snow Mountain smirked. A man behind him remarked coldly, "Did you actually think we would let you escape?"
"Ah!" Wheatley screamed and unleashed her power of Awareness. Numerous huge blue dragons formed in the air and charged towards Snow Mountain and his men.
Awareness Skill - Frost Dragon.
Snow Mountain subconsciously stepped back when he saw the dragons charging towards him. This was a silver level skill of Wheatley's. Its prowess was just below that of the grey and black levels. This skill could directly freeze the enemy's Awareness and even completely freeze the enemy's thoughts, decreasing or even stopping the speed of the enemy's thought process.
However, as Snow Mountain backed off, a silver-haired young man stepped forward. With the wave of a hand, layers of Awareness surged forth and erected a black barrier that blocked off the Frost Dragons.
Wheatley gasped. "The black barrier to the silver skill?"
Bam! The Frost Dragons crashed into the black barrier, shaking it violently. Layers of frost formed on the black barrier of Awareness and froze it completely. However, it shattered in the next moment and disappeared into thin air together with the Frost Dragons.
Seeing how her skill had been blocked, Wheatley was about to strike again when she suddenly felt a surge of dizziness overtaking her senses. She eventually succumbed and fainted.
Snow Mountain was delighted. "The power of Awareness may be omnipotent, but physical frailty remains the biggest weakness of your kind. Lord Black Cloud, I will leave the rest to you."
The silver-haired young man who casted the black barrier just now walked up and conjured several long silver needles in the air.
Fear flashed across Snow Mountain's eyes as he saw the long silver needles formed from the power of Awareness.
This was a black level skill. It was even more powerful than a silver level skill and second only to that of a grey level skill.
Snow Mountain thought to himself, "Awareness Sealing Needles, a black level skill that can completely seal off the target's Awareness. He actually has a black skill that was second only to the grey level. The powers of the Cat Hunters are actually that advanced? I'm afraid they have already controlled one of the Short Fur Sages as their puppet."
One by one, the long needles stabbed Wheatley's body. After 21 needle stabs, Wheatley's eyes flew open as she let out a piercing, agonizing scream.
Black Dune was heartbroken and despondent as he watched the scene unfold before him. "Lord Wheatley!" He glared at Snow Mountain in fury. "Snow Mountain, have you gone mad? The Sacred Hall will never let you go."
Snow Mountain scoffed. "You won't think about that anymore after your Awareness is distorted."
"Shut up!" The silver-haired youth chided and stomped on the back of Wheatley's head, causing her to faint again. He picked her up and slumped her on his shoulder as he said, "We've got Wheatley now. I will bring her back first. You guys stay here to control all the cat slaves of hers."
Right at that moment, sounds of footsteps were heard approaching them. Everyone frowned slightly as they turned to look at the palace corridor from where the sound came from.
Zhao Yao slowly emerged from the pitch-black corridor.
"You didn't ask for permission before taking away my cat…" Zhao Yao stared at the girl in the other party's hands and decided to rephrase his words. "I mean, taking away my little girl. You guys are really brazen."
As he was speaking, Zhao Yao glanced across the heads of the crowd before fixing his gaze on that of the silver-haired young man, Black Cloud.
"So you're Level 29?" Zhao Yao frowned as he unleashed Wheatley's Level 28 abilities through the Cat Prince Costume. "A Level 29 apostle. Is he an apostle from Ya Xing? I can't beat him with the power of Awareness. If we fight, I'll have to first destroy his physical body."
If a supercat or apostle's original physical form was severely damaged or even killed, his Awareness would be severely damaged as well, which could slowly lead to death.
The physical bodies of the Short Fur Tribe's supercats and cat slaves could be said to be their biggest weakness. It was not possible for pure Awareness to live on for a long time independently in the physical world. This was also why Tom and Giggle decided to just traverse through the different dimensions using their power of Awareness. As such, even when they arrived on Earth and assumed the bodies of earthling cats and humans, their original physical bodies were kept safe in their own homes.
Black Dune, who was still immobilized on the floor, became both furious and anxious when he saw Zhao Yao appear. "This guy, why is he still acting cool at this point?! Quick, run and inform the others! Alas, we are situated within an area where the dimension is closed off. There's no chance of escape now."
"Guang Yu?" Snow Mountain was bewildered when he saw Zhao Yao. He frowned in confusion as he asked, "You weren't poisoned?"
Using the abilities of the poison apostles, the whole of Wheatley's palace had been engulfed in thick fumes of paralysis poison. All the cat slaves who borrowed Wheatley's ability were poisoned instantly, rendering them unable to use their abilities.
Black Cloud, who was carrying Wheatley on his shoulder, stared at Zhao Yao with interest as he sensed the power of Awareness emanating from the other party's body. He said, "So you're Guang Yu, the new apostle that Wheatley accepted? You're not bad and you have good qualities. Do you want to join us?"
Zhao Yao also stared back at Black Cloud curiously and asked, "Yeah, I think your qualities are pretty good too. Do you want to work for me? I cover all five social insurances and housing."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
Black Cloud frowned. Though he did not understand what Zhao Yao just said, the snobbery in his words did not escape him.
"You have a death wish," Black Cloud remarked coldly. "You'll become obedient after I brainwash you."
In that instant, a surge of Awareness arose.
Zhao Yao, who came prepared, did not even give Black Cloud a chance to cast his power of Awareness. He activated the power of Time Freeze and appeared right in front of Black Cloud. His palm slammed right through Black Cloud's body as blood started bursting out.
He proceeded to take away Wheatley and entered the dimension portal.
Zhao Yao's conversation with the young man just now was not for nothing. He was buying time to switch his powers and prepare the dimension portal.
This way, he was leaving himself a route to retreat in battle. This, coupled with the revival ability as his ultimate safety net, were the crucial points in Zhao Yao's battle style.
After coming back through the dimension portal, Zhao Yao stopped the Time Freeze and turned to look at Black Cloud, whom he had attacked.
When time resumed its flow, Black Cloud collapsed in a pool of blood after being attacked by Zhao Yao. However, the power of Awareness continued surging out from his body.
Zhao Yao immediately reacted. "This is not his original form? So he only possessed it?"
The physical bodies of the Short Fur Tribe's supercats and cat slaves were their biggest weakness. Once their physical bodies were killed, their awareness would sporadically dissipate and eventually disappear into thin air.
