Chapter 30

Trap

A while later, Avery who had entered a small section and inspected the three tunnels came back.

Because he did not go deep into the tunnel, there was no danger involved in his investigation, but he also had no additional gains.

“Right now, we have already opened all the Supernatural Doors here. We’ve probably already taken what we can. Then…”

Avery’s tone became more cautious. “We need to discuss how we’re going to kill those enemies camping outside and waiting for us.”

Once Avery finished his words, everyone’s gaze shifted towards Gurney subconsciously.

Earlier, the person who suggested that they counterattack was Gurney after all. He had already thought of a plan to retaliate.

“We will do this. First…” Gurney lowered his voice and explained his plan.

…

Howling Canyon.

The fog was still dense with no signs of lifting. In fact, the fog was even thicker now than before.

About fifty meters away from the Spatial Origin Door, in a corner, the blood-eared elves, Ximo and Sheron, were waiting quietly.

At the side, the tier-two supernatural lifeform kermo giant wolf was lying on the ground, resting with its eyes closed.

While waiting, Ximo asked, “Almost a day has passed. Have they already died inside?”

A day’s time was quite long for the exploration of such a small “Spatial Origin Realm”.

“It is very likely,” Sheron nodded lightly and said. “After all, this is the resting place of a top-tier Transcendent Grandmaster. Even though this group of Apprentice Transcendents might have some strength, in the face of real danger, the chance of death is still very high. It is not strange that they would get completely wiped out.

“Let’s wait for another day. If they do not come out tomorrow, we can basically confirm that they are already dead. By then, I will use a sealing spell to hide the entrance. Nobody will find out about this place for the time being.” Sheron had already made the main plans for the future.

Suddenly.

From the dense fog, there was some commotion.

It sounded like footsteps.

Next, there was a loud sound as if a huge thing had fallen to the ground.

This commotion immediately alerted the two of them.

With the Summoner Sheron’s eyes, blood light flowed as he quickly communicated with his contracted lifeform, the tier-two “secret soul specter”.

The secret soul specter had been summoned from deep within another spatial world by Sheron using a special contract ritual, and they had signed a contract with each other.

Secret soul specter was born with the ability to “void walk”.

And this tier-two supernatural spiritual lifeform was the thing that Sheron sent to spy on the group.

After communicating with Sheron, he could perfectly see what the secret soul specter saw.

Before the Spatial Origin Door, on the ground.

A muscular young man was lying down on the ground in a pathetic state. His body was covered in thick sticky blood.

The young man was still struggling. He continued to cough out blood, and his aura was extremely weak. Even in this pathetic state, the young man continued to grab onto the longsword in his hand that seemed to shine with a mystic silver light.

“A mystic silver longsword?! They obtained treasures!” Seeing this, Sheron could not help but feel happy.

But he did not take action immediately. He used the secret soul specter to watch as he continued waiting.

After five to six minutes, other than this severely injured muscular young man whose aura was growing weaker, nobody else came out.

“It seems… the rest have all died inside.”

Sheron let out a deep breath and walked out from the corner. The kermo giant wolf and Ximo followed him.

An Apprentice Knight that was near death could not be of any threat to them.

Mystic silver weapons have very high value. This can be sold for at least 1,500 gold pounds. It would be enough for me to buy some supernatural materials and ascend to tier three. I can even change to a new mage robe. The resting place of this Blood Magic Grandmaster is… really a treasury.

Thinking of this, Sheron started to fantasize about the future in his mind.

After I get all those treasures, I might even be able to reach the level of a high-tier Transcendent…

While Sheron was feeling excited about his bright future, the situation suddenly changed.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Several sharp Fire Arrows shot out of the fog, piercing right through it, and these sharp arrows were all aimed at Sheron.

The Fire Arrows were so fast that by the time Sheron managed to react, the first Fire Arrow had already reached his chest.

Whoosh!

There was a dull sound, and the force of the Fire Arrow exploded around Sheron’s chest.

Boom!

However, a hazy black light spread around Sheron’s chest, forcefully blocking this Fire Arrow that had been launched at him in surprise.

Summoner Sheron actually had such a defensive method.

Next, the second and third Fire Arrows arrived; they were similarly hard to react to and defend against.

Bam!

Bam!

Two level-four Fire Arrows exploded near Sheron’s chest, and flames blazed around him.

Sheron, who had managed to react already, quickly dodged to the side, but the moment he had just moved away slightly, the fourth Fire Arrow arrived before him.

After being attacked by three level-four Fire Arrows, the hazy black light that protected Sheron seemed to have reached its limit. Due to the power of this fourth Fire Arrow, the black light shattered.

Swoosh!

Next, the Fire Arrow directly tore Sheron’s cloak and pierced his chest.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A chain of Fire Arrows was unleashed at him, and they all stabbed into his body.

In just less than a second, Sheron was pierced by more than eight Fire Arrows in his chest.

The flames continued to burn, filling Sheron’s vision.

Instant-casting spells are too fast.

This was his last thought.

Bam!

Sheron fell to the ground.

This sudden change of event was just too fast. Shadower Ximo had reacted the moment she saw the Fire Arrows, but Sheron’s reaction speed was much slower than hers. Thus, he was shot to death by the Fire Arrows.

With more than ten Fire Arrows in one second, he easily shattered Sheron’s “defensive spirit”. This is a powerful Spellcaster.

Seeing that Sheron was killed, sadness and anger filled Ximo’s heart; the intense feeling of revenge made her want to kill the attacker.

However, Ximo’s logic and fear towards the powerful enemy still controlled her body.

I need to escape. Otherwise, I will die.

After making one agile roll, she quickly retreated backwards.

Even though she wanted to escape, the enemy within the fog did not seem to want to let her off.

Bzz bzz bzz…

A large arc of purple lightning formed with dazzling light. The arc lightning spread for five to six meters. It was simply like a huge web made of electricity.

This lightning was too powerful! If she was hit, she would not be able to escape.

“Awoooo—”

There was a pitiful cry.

The Arc Lightning had directly landed on the kermo giant wolf’s body.

Ximo had escaped to the back of the kermo giant wolf.

At this moment, the kermo giant wolf got hit because it was used by her as a shield. It was quite unlucky.

The kermo giant wolf’s master died, and it also got hit by such a powerful spell. After making a pitiful cry, the kermo giant wolf quickly ran away with its tail tucked between its legs.

During this period, Ximo who had concealed her traces vanished into thin air.

The secret soul specter that had lost its contract owner also left.

The battle… had ended in the blink of an eye!
