Chapter 88 Crucial Eighteen Minutes

Chapter 88 Crucial Eighteen Minutes

Edgar's face looks very serious.

"The lives of those two hyperbeings gave me precious two minutes. Poison Guild finally made a very valuable contribution. I have to sparingly use my aura and mana to last for eighteen minutes. One hit from the ogre could seriously injure me, but that is a risk I have to take. There is a martial art that could be used in this crucial period," thought Edgar, then he put back his sword to his storage space after weighing the risk in his mind.

"If the ogre can't hit me, he will probably force me to surrender using another way. The ogre does not look dumb. He saw me save the hyperbeings. I have to warn them," thought Edgar.

A white magic circle appeared in front of his mouth, then a small white sphere with magic runes came out of the magic circle.

He casts sound blockade, then he starts talking. He dispersed the shield and made a small flame bird. The flame bird covers the small white sphere and flew toward the hyperbeings.

Edgar stopped releasing his aura. He moved his body, and took a palm stance. His eyes turned very focus and emotionless.

HIDDEN ART: MINUTE SUBTLETY

"Hahahaha human, I admire your courage! It seems I have to pummel you to the ground to make you surrender, but I have to remind you, my patience is limited," said Roshack. He does not mind what Edgar did within the sound blockade. He is confident in his strength.

Roshack walks toward Edgar with a grin.

Bang! The ogre suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of Edgar. His huge right hand is aiming at Edgar's neck.

Edgar moved slightly to the right. Only his feet are clad with aura. He holds the right arm of the ogre, rotates his body, and then threw the ogre into the air.

"What?!" The ogre is surprised that the human could react and even counterattack. He is flying in the air toward a light green building.

Bang! The transparent wall of the light building is crushed. The ogre is thrown inside.

"Will he really be fine fighting that ogre alone?" a hyperbeing asked the others as they move further away.

"With our current state, we will only become a burden even after taking the potions that he gave us," said Merryl.

"But he is only a fourth circle. Although he can clad his sword with aura, I felt that his aura is at the first level only. I can't feel the density of aura that I feel from the second level. It's unbelievable that he could manipulate aura to that extent even though he is just at the first level," said a woman.

"I was also shocked when I felt his energy, but we all witnessed his power. He single-handedly killed the Tier 1 orcs. All the arrows have a target. I don't know if 7th or 8th circle could do that, but a 6th circle could not do that," said Merryl.

"Merryl is right. We will be more helpful if we stay away from their fight," said Susan.

"Hmm?" A hyperbeing notices a flame bird flying toward them.

"Look," the hyperbeing pointed his finger to the flame bird.

The hyperbeings stop moving as they stare at the flame bird.

The flame bird reached their area. It stays in the air as it flaps its wings. The voice of Edgar appears.

"Everyone, be careful of the attacks of the ogre. He might use you as his hostages to force me to surrender. Hold on for eighteen minutes."

The flame bird dispersed. nOve(Lb)1n

The faces of everyone turned very serious. They look at each other.

"We must separate and hide in the light green buildings. Let us divide into teams. We must not be captured no matter what!" said Merryl.

The strongest hyperbeings among them lead each team. They will play hide and seek with the ogre, and they will do their best to last for eighteen minutes. They put their trust in Edgar's hands.

"Hahahaha, human, you surprised me," said Roshack as he comes out of the hole.

"You are only at the fourth circle, and that energy on your feet use by warriors is only at the first level, but you look very skilled. You seem young, but you are skilled in magic and martial art. You have great potential as a human. Join us and your family will be spared," said Roshack.

Edgar's eyes are emotionless, but he is happy inside. The more the ogre talks, the more he can save his aura and mana. He might even get confidential information from him.

"What will I get if I join you?" asked Edgar.

Roshack smiled when he heard Edgar.

"Wealth and power! You can even rule a world! I thought power gained on my own was the best way, but an ant quickly surpassed me in strength because of that power," Roshack answered.

"Are you referring to the skill you used on the two humans?" Edgar asked.

The ogre laughed, then he says, "You are smart human. You are right! Now, tell me your decision."

Edgar nods at the ogre.

"Can you tell me first about the force behind the invasion?" asked Edgar.

"Hahahaha, I will tell you that later. Now, turn off the dimensional lock and give me the resources that I need to create another passage," Roshack said with enthusiasm.

"You should tell me first about the force behind you. It's part of mutual trust," said Edgar.

Roshack's face changed when he heard Edgar. His face turned fierce.

"Human! Turn off the dimensional lock and give me the resources! I will tell you what you want to know when the passage is made!" Roshack shouted.

Edgar smiled when he heard the shout of the ogre.

"It seems the play is over," Edgar thought, then he took a palm stance. He is ready to continue the fight.

Roshack's face turned more fierce.

"FUCK YOU HUMAAAN!!! How dare you play me!" Roshack furiously shouted.

He formed an amethyst sword in his right hand, then he moves toward Edgar with huge killing intent.
