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 assault 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."
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."
