Chapter 399: Undead Puppeteer (1/2)

“Damn!”

Augusta immediately realized the grave mistake he made.

Those brats seemed rash and inexperienced, but it totally changed during battle.

Furthermore, Stingham’s idiotic behavior also unconsciously affected their judgement and caused them to let down their guards!

Also, Ayrin’s group was really quick!

The shaking of the earth, the entanglement of the huge trees and vines, they all did not seem to affect Ayrin and Rinloran at all.

The dashing speed of the two were obviously a level faster than them.

The ground beneath Moss blasted away and he immediately caught up with Ayrin and Rinloran despite being the last.

As for the strange metal clockwork war avatar, it was extremely bizarre. She did not seem to use much arcane energy, but her agility was even better than Rinloran. Every action was well-practiced to the point of perfection. She always moved in the shortest and most accurate path behind Aryin.

What astonished them even more was that the metal clockwork war avatar was still replacing its hand part even while moving!

Its right hand opened up the cube box it carried on its back. Then, it dismantled its left arm with shocking speed. After that, it took out a suitable left arm and quickly installed it.

“What’s Merlin doing?”

Leaving aside Augusta’s confusion, even Ayrin did not know what Merlin was doing.

“Raging Gale!”

“Thorny Vine!”

The chubby arcane master, Prando, and the skinny arcane master, Diaphano, casted at the same time.

Countless mini-tornadoes swept up countless dry branches and fallen leaves to assault Ayrin’s team. At the same time, countless vines with sharp thorns grew out from the surrounding trees, weaving into many black webs.

“Ah!”

Stingham cried in pain at the other side.

He rushed into the thorny vines head on.

“Idiot!”

Rinloran nimbly dodged the vines in the surrounding, then chanted an incantation quickly, “Forest Goddess: Holy Tree of Protection!”

Countless moonlight broke out from the ground. In a mere instant, they became glowing light trees, also forming a dense forest.

The retreat path of Augusta’s team was also blocked by the light trees.

“Thunder Blaze Wall!”

Ayrin also chanted.

A large wave of thunder blaze swept across, burning all the vines into ash.

In a moment, the trees and grass around the Goat Horn Team disappeared. They became the five black dots amongst the red charcoal and light trees.

“They are actually this powerful...... In that case, even if we retreat with all our power, we may have to leave two or three behind...... Then, we can only fight back with our all.”

Augusta was the first to stop his retreating figure, then spoke to himself.

The remaining four members of the Goat Horn Team, including Ingit, who had a broken arm, all stopped.

Even during such an escape, the distance between them remained around twenty meters.

Ayrin and Rinloran also tensed themselves.

It was their first time facing the elite team from Baratheon head on. And according to the arcane skills they used, a typical elite team from Baratheon had all its members with at least four gates opened. Just like Augusta who attacked first, some could have even opened five gates.

Even if Ayrin’s side had a numerical advantage, the opponent’s casting speed was still a great threat.

“Moss, hit me a few times!” Ayrin immediately called Moss who was behind him.

Using the Treasured Book of Sealing at the start had exhausted the majority of his arcane particles, so he urgently needed to recharge some arcane particles. Otherwise, the only methods he had left were to use the Treasured Book of Sealing to release the domain he had absorbed and the Treasured Book of Time he won from the Abel Academy.

The other normal artifacts would probably not have much of an effect against such an opponent. They would only waste the chance to attack.

“Sure!” Moss immediately dished out punches onto Ayrin’s back.

“It’s just as the rumor said, they are a super strange team. Although they didn’t seem to have received specialized cooperation training, perhaps due to fighting together very often, they have developed a unique way of teamwork.”

At that moment, Augusta did not make a move immediately after stopping. His eyes gleamed as he turned around and looked at the vice-captain, Singo, “Looks like we need to use ‘that’ item of yours.”

“Understood!”

The metal-grey hair Singo also did not seem like to talk much. He nodded and removed the canvas bag he carried.

“What’s this?”

By then, the Eclipse Moon team, Ayrin, Stingham and the rest had surrounded the Goat Horn Team from three directions. However, the instant that silent vice-captain removed the canvas bag, everyone was shocked.

It was actually a scaly dried corpse inside the canvas bag!
