Chapter 263: I Messed Up
“There is one hidden within a giant mushroom, one hidden behind a giant mushroom, and one hidden atop a tree.”
As Ayrin spoke, he drew on the ground to give Rinloran and Stingham a clear idea of where the three Abel College arcane masters dressed as Evil Dragon Followers were situated.
“There is one within the mushroom?”
Stingham’s mouth formed an ‘o’ as he observed Ayrin’s simple and roughly drawn map and asked, “Ayrin, are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”
“I also thought it was strange,” Ayrin replied as he scratched his head. “It seemed like the fellow entered through an opening, but there are no marks or anything on the outside of the giant mushroom.”
“It should be some kind of concealment skill.” Rinloran looked at Ayrin as he quietly suggested, “My old elf clan had a skill like this which allowed one to hide within trees.”
“Isn’t it perfect for sleep then?” A look of envy filled Stingham’s face.
“You idiot! You are still thinking of running away and finding somewhere to sleep? Has the metal zombie within your body stopped growing larger?” Rinloran replied as he deliberately tried to scare Stingham.
“Oh yeah. I need to get rid of this metal zombie first.” Stingham’s face filled with gratefulness as his eyes became watery and he said, “Thank you for reminding me. It seems like it has truly grown quite a bit.”
Stingham’s response left Rinloran speechless. Thus, Rinloran turned to Ayrin and asked, “Since we are intending to beat up those scoundrels, what is our plan?”
“In a bit, make sure to hold your noses. I will let them experience some stink before anything else,” Ayrin responded with a chuckle.
Black lines erupted across Rinloran and Stingham’s faces as they exasperatedly cried in unison, “You are going to use that skill again?!”
……
“It’s been so long. How come still no one has appeared?”
The eyes of the three seemingly injured and covered in blood Abel Academy arcane masters were filled with suspicion as they looked around their surroundings.
They were Abel Academy’s three most well known celebrity fighters, the captain and “Silent Invocation Master” Lotner, “Sleeptalker” Presley, and “Wild Thunder” Courtland.
“Are you guys still hanging in there? I’m coming!” Stingham’s voice suddenly rang out from nearby.
“They’re here!”
Excitement and treachery flashed through the eyes of these three Abel Academy team members as the looks on their faces became even more strained and weak.
“Skunk Devil Summoning!”
“Skunk Devil Summoning!”
Two invocations successively rang out amidst some nearby trees.
“It stinks!”
“This stench is killer!”
The three unprepared Abel Academy members miserably cried out as an indescribably nasty stench abruptly assailed them. Their faces turned green as they hunched over and started retching.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Stingham and Ayrin emerged before the three retching Abel Academy members from the midst of several nearby trees.
“Why are you guys like this? Where is the enemy?” Ayrin asked in a nasal, but serious voice as he held his nose and observed the three Abel Academy members before him.
“What skill is that? Why is there a sphere of arcane energy floating beside his body?”
“How can he gather and condense so much arcane energy?”
The three Abel Academy members were all very taken aback upon seeing the shadow ball floating beside Ayrin’s body as they sensed the horrifying arcane energy condensed within the shadow ball.
“You must be careful!”
At this moment, Abel Academy team’s captain Lotner began his acting as he anxiously shouted, “The enemy should still be around. They only temporarily backed away when they heard you guys coming. It’s possible that they have hidden themselves around here and are preparing to strike.”
“Act. Keeping acting,” Stingham smirked as he thought to himself that these fellows from Abel Academy were quite funny.
“Aren’t you guys a little too weak?”
Ayrin looked at Lotner and the other two as he continued, “Your limbs are all still intact, yet you guys used the flare pillar and signalled for help just like that? The enemies you met must not have been very strong. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to let off the flare pillar so easily. And they didn’t manage to further injure you after you released the signal… they must be the sloppiest and most ordinary enemies ever.”
“Well said!”
Stingham couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore as he said, “You guys are a little too useless, aren’t you?”
“These two fellows are so arrogant…”
The faces of the three Abel Academy members paled, and then turned green once more from the stench.
“Our opponents were very strong,” Lotner responded. A cold glint subconsciously flashed through his eyes as he continued, “It’s possible that they let us call for help to attract more arcane teams over.”
After a short pause, Lotner strangely looked at Ayrin and asked, “Wait. Why does your team only consist of two people?”
“We were assaulted by several extremely strong Evil Dragon Follower teams. Thus, Teacher Rui and Rinloran have temporarily withdrawn. But since the two of use managed to arrive here on time, our mission should still be considered a success,” Ayrin loudly responded.
“There’s only the two of you?” The tone of Lotner’s voice abruptly changed and became deeper.
“Just the two of us is enough. The Evil Dragon Followers’ Green Snake Team simply weren’t our opponents.” Ayrin arrogantly looked at the three Abel Academy members as he said, “Have you felt the arcane energy within my shadow ball? Even four gate arcane masters cannot defend against it.”
