Chapter 249: A Seemingly Unreliable Team (2/2)
“So two of them are uninjured. And although Neilson is heavily injured, he can still use one or two arcane skills. It will be incredibly difficult…”
Rinloran felt his palms become clammy with sweat.
“I asked because I have sensed another powerful arcane energy fluctuation coming from our northeast. It seems like Konte is about to regroup with Hanson and Neilson,” Rui stated as an incredibly faint arcane energy fluctuation rippled from his body.
“The northeast? That would be where we were hiding earlier.” The face of the tall captain turned even uglier.
“Teacher, how are you still able to use arcane skills?” Ayrin exclaimed in surprise, “Didn’t you just exhaust all of your arcane particles?”
“I condensed enough for that skill just now,” Rui explained.
“Wow! Teacher Rui is so strong!” Ayrin’s face was full of respect, “Even after suffering an injury, you are still able to control your body well enough to condense arcane particles!”
“Dumbass, now is not the time to be giving useless compliments. We need to think of a plan!” Rinloran shouted as he knocked on Ayrin’s head.
“Haha, even the two of you are fighting now! You guys are really just too unreliable!” Stingham broke out into laughter as he ridiculed Ayrin and Rinloran.
“You can still laugh at a time like this?”
The two House Eclipse Moon arcane masters began feeling like Ayrin’s group was completely unreliable.
“Think of a plan? This is…?”
After getting bonked on the head by Rinloran, Ayrin refocused. As he looked at the receding surroundings, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Teacher, it seems like we have once again entered the territory of the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord!”
His voice became excited as he continued, “The Fire Caracal Lord and Poisonous Nighthawk Lord should be about as strong as our pursuers, right? What do you think about attracting them over? Do you think they would be able to deal with Hanson, Neilson, and Konte?”
“This?” Even the decisive Rui fell into a daze as he heard Ayrin’s suggestion.
“Poisonous Nighthawk Lord? There is a Poisonous Nighthawk Lord in this part of the forest?” The expressions of the two House Eclipse Moon arcane masters changed yet again.
“It is a possible plan, but the issue is that we do not know if the two lords we attract over will attack their group of three or our group of six,” Rui replied after taking a deep breath.
“I am for Ayrin’s plan.” A light of decisiveness flashed through Rinloran’s eyes. “Unless one of you has a better idea?”
“Teacher Rui, as well as the two of you, do you have any other plans?” Ayrin asked as his gaze swept across the two House Eclipse Moon arcane masters.
“Do you guys have a way of attracting the two lords?”
A look of excitement emerged on the tall captain’s face as he anticipated the mutual destruction, “Only the scent of their favorite foods or the aura of another powerful lord can cause them to charge right over.”
“Let’s go to where I roasted the Fire Caracal cub and take a look?” Stingham excitedly suggested. “Perhaps the Fire Caracal Lord is still there grieving and reminiscing over its cub.”
“What? Even with your abilities, you guys dared to kill the Fire Caracal Lord’s cub?” The two House Eclipse Moon arcane masters nearly screamed in astonishment.
“Can you remember the way over?” Rui asked as he looked at Rinloran.
“Follow me!” Rinloran succinctly said as he immediately charged into the left side of the undergrowth before them.
……
“We’re here… it’s right here!”
Although everything within the forest seemed exactly the same under the cover of darkness, under Rinloran’s careful guidance, they were able to find their way. Ayrin immediately recognized the large patches land which had been scorched by flames and shattered by arcane energy.
“The Fire Caracal cub that I killed should be right over there,” Stingham gleefully said to the female House Eclipse Moon arcane master as he nodded his head towards a patch of earth which had been burnt particularly dark.
Afterwards, he asked, “Could you tell me your name?”
“I am Christine. The captain is Jano,” the demure girl softly replied after a moment’s hesitation.
Stingham’s eyes lit up as he looked at Christine and said, “Christine? My Holy Dawn Academy team captain is called Chris. Your names are so similar. Perhaps this is also fate. Furthermore, the next captain of Holy Dawn Academy’s team is definitely going to be my most handsome self.”
“You idiot! There’s not a single trace of the Fire Caracal Lord here. Stop trying to boast in front of the girl and hurry up and think of a plan!” Rinloran’s face had already darkened to the limit.
“Great boss Fire Caracal Lord!”
“Great boss Poisonous Nighthawk Lord!”
At this moment, Ayrin took a leaf out of Stingham’s book and called out into the darkness.
“If it’s like this, then those three will arrive before the lords do.”
The expression of the House Eclipse Moon captain Jano had become extremely grim.
After shouting several times into the darkness without any change in their surroundings, Ayrin awkwardly scratched his head as another idea popped into his head, “Perhaps this will work?”
