Chapter 408 (1/2)

Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami stared at where Wu Yan was. Soon, she regained her senses and she yelled out loud.

”Don't think you can get away from me!”

She didn't know what happened but she understood that the spirit had disappeared from her sight, she smashed the ground with her light saber.

Even after destroying the ground, she didn't see any hole that would lead her to the disappeared spirit, only a thick slab of steel met her gaze.

”What's going on?”

Origami flinched in surprise.

”Somebody saved the spirit?”

”d.a.m.n!”

She slashed at the iron slab but her attack did nothing on the structural integrity of that object.

She thought slas.h.i.+ng the iron surface multiple times would do the trick but she only managed to make the sound of slas.h.i.+ng resonate in this battlefield and nothing more.

”What's wrong?”

The other AST members came to check on her. That's the least they could do for not being able to contribute to the fight just now. They still couldn't make heads or tails of what had happened here.

Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami calmed down after seeing her comrades' arrival. She's a kuudere so if not going up against spirits, she would usually be calmer than still water. She glanced at the iron slab and she reported back to mission control.

”The target has escaped…”

Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami said no more. Being familiar with her style, the other members didn't pursue the matter any further. They didn't need to, they already knew why she's acting like this.

The other four AST members exchanged looks and they flew into the sky. They raised their cannons and fired at Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami's location, prompting her to evade.

Countless missiles a.s.saulted the steel slab.

Wu Yan hurriedly used magnetized iron sand to levitate himself. He inspected the steel slab above him and he could hear explosions coming from the other side. It's not hard to guess who is behind that noise.

Satisfied with the structural integrity of the steel slab, he sighed in relief knowing that he wouldn't have to deal with AST members down here. He's a bit mad that he got done in by a simple trap like this. However, he welcomed the timing of this trap.

Without this hole here, he would have to knock out Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami, or worse, be knocked out by her. He's not counting on Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami to go easy on him in either case.

Wu Yan isn't kidding around, Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami's own ability augmented by her AST equipment made her a foe even someone in tier 8 can't take lightly.

Wu Yan is very close to tier 8 at level 69 but even if Tob.i.+.c.hi Origami could best him, he's confident that his True Ancestor body will make his worst-case scenario the loss of a few heads or limbs.

He adjusted his angle and he tried to gauge the depth of this hole. Suddenly, he twitched his lips.

The person who did probably had a grudge against him. If he couldn't fly, this deep hole would have made rather fantastic meat paste out of his body if he hit the ground.

Wu Yan sighed before concluding that the person is probably an ally given that they helped him get away from the AST members.

”I guess I could check out what's down there.”

He descended down. The deeper he went down, the more convinced he is that somebody tried to make him fall to his death. He's been flying for more than 10 minutes now and he hadn't hit the ground yet.

Truth be told, he's a bit fed up with the boring scene around him.

After 20 minutes, he finally saw the ground and he's not happy at all.

The reason: A guy who is standing there.

It's a blonde male with brown eyes wearing a suit.

He narrowed his eyes and he examined the information displayed while cross-referencing it to the information he had in his mind.

, Vice-commander of Ratatoskr.
