"Please, help me."
Fangorn's eyes were on Ajax who was standing in the distance, hoping that he would save him.
However, when he saw Ajax didn't have any intentions to move from his place, Fangorn could not help but sigh and thought, 'Why should he help me? It's not like he owes me something.'
'Moreover, I even looked down on him. If I was in his place, I doubt I would have helped in this situation.'
Many thoughts flashed in Fangorn's head as he lost hope and closed his eyes to rest forever.
On the other hand, Draco and the humanoid Wyvern brothers became anxious and wanted to help Fangorn; however, they were already busy with their own opponents.
They wanted to ask Ajax for help; however, they didn't even get a chance to speak as their opponents became more aggressive all of a sudden.
'Swoosh'
[Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm]
Just as Fangorn closed his eyes, Ajax appeared in between him and the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith before using his Palm Cultivation Technique.
'Boom'
A thunder rumbling sound resounded as the Spectral Creature was pushed more than 10 meters away before turning into dust, leaving behind a mid-level Darkfire Crystal.
'Huh? I only used 30 percent of Divine Essence of Nature in using the Palm Technique and it still killed a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith.'
For a moment, Ajax was surprised to see the death of the Spectral Creature and thought, 'Maybe it is weaker than the one I fought earlier or it might have been exhausted or injured by Fangorn.'
After that, Ajax turned his head and looked at Fangorn who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed as though he was relaxing.
"I thought you were never going to ask for my help."
Soon, Fangorn heard Ajax's voice as he opened his eyes to see that the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was nowhere to be seen.
He saw Ajax looking at him with a slight smile on his face, making Fangorn a little embarrassed.
"T-thank you for helping me out."
Fangorn struggled to stand up as he thanked Ajax with an awkward smile and whenever he remembered how he treated Ajax before, he could not help but feel embarrassed.
"There is no need to feel embarrassed asking the help from a fellow squad member."
Even though Ajax was much younger than Fangorn, he was more mature than Fangorn as he said, "You should take some rest and heal your injuries."
"..."
Hearing those words from Ajax made him feel even more awkward; however, he still nodded his head and tossed some healing pills into his mouth before sitting down to heal his injuries.
As for Draco and the humanoid Wyvern brothers, after seeing Ajax killing the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith with a single palm technique, they were shocked.
At the same time, it increased their fighting spirit and soon, they got the fight under their control.
As for Ajax, he didn't rush to help them because they were doing well and could soon finish their fight in a few minutes.
He sat beside Fangorn while playing with two mid-level and two low-level Darkfire Crystals while waiting for the system to complete its analysis regarding the Darkfire Crystals.
"How did you kill the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith so soon?"
After a moment of silence, Fangorn finally could not suppress his curiosity anymore as he asked Ajax about his insta-kill of the Spectral Creature.
'Screech'I think you should take a look at
Before Ajax could say anything, an ominous screech came from the distance that made him hurriedly stand up.
The screech was similar to the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith's screech before it committed suicide.
From that time, Ajax was having a bad premonition in his heart; however, he didn't think much about that because the environment in the world was like that.
Nevertheless, when he heard the ominous screech, Ajax felt that his premonition was not because of the environment but something else.
"What is that?"
Draco and the two other humanoid Wyvern Brothers had almost about to end their fight when they heard the screech from the distance and in the next second, their unconsciousness felt a chill in their body.
It was the same for Fangorn as he hurriedly stood up despite his injuries yet to heal and summoned a few small wyverns.
"Go and check it."
Soon, he sent them in the direction of the scream while speeding up his recovery with some rare medicinal pills while sharing his vision with those scouting wyverns.
'Ding,
Draco and others are affected by the [Evil Spectral Scream]. All their battle prowess will be reduced by 30 percent.
'Ding,
With the reduction of their battle prowess, it's only a matter of time before they die fighting the Darkfire Wraiths. In case the host wants to save them, he should do it now.
'Ding,
As for the host, thanks to his Divine Spirit Consciousness, the skill [Evil Spectral Scream] is not powerful enough to affect the host.
As Ajax was wondering about the bad premonition in his head, he received a series of system notifications, making him frown for a moment.
However, when he saw the last system notification, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face.
"Not good…not good…what should we do now…how?"
Suddenly, Fangorn opened his eyes and anxiously said to Ajax.
Even though Fangorn didn't explain clearly thanks to his anxiousness, Ajax understood that he saw something dangerous.
"Fangorn, calm down for a moment. I will go and help Draco and others. Until then, you should calm down and say clearly about what you have seen."
After shaking Fangorn out of his anxiousness, Ajax looked at Draco who was fighting the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith for a moment.
[Celestial Void Step]
'Swoosh'
With a single step, Ajax had already been behind the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and used the palm technique to insta-kill it.
Ajax didn't stop there as he helped the humanoid Wyvern Brothers before returning to Fangorn.
"There are hundreds…no thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths coming towards us that were led by hundreds of mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths."
