Chapter 72 - Missed? Ha! (2/2)

Everyone focused their Divine Senses on Hary's body and surprisingly, they noticed that he was still alive! Of course, he was in no condition of causing any problems anymore.

Krune saw that and let out a sigh of relief, but then he remembered that voice that appeared in his mind, now he is absolutely sure, he wasn't hallucinating during the first time he heard it, the tribulation lightning in lingering in his soul really had a sentience of its own!

But now wasn't the time to care about that, Krune sent a message to Shinja and asked her to talk things over, the enemy still had one Core Formation Expert and his group was in no shape to continue battling, understanding what Krune meant, Shinja came forward to deal with the aftermath.

”Your friend there can't fight anymore, but we also don't wish to have a battle to death in this place, if we really do that, although I'm confident of our victory, we would lose a lot of our friends if you decided to throw caution to the wind, we aren't giving you any wisp, the question is if you want to die here or leave with just some injuries, it is up to you.”

Gory heard that and reverted to his human form, as a Demon Insect who preferred to live in the Danger Zone, he cared little about people knowing about his human face or not, he then looked at Hary and sighed, he could be said to be an acquaintance of Hary, they have known each other for over a hundred years, after all, not to mention that Shinja's words weren't wrong, with Hary out of the picture, he had very little hope of achieving anything in this place, he decided that he would first retreat with Hary and then gather more forces to come and take the wisps away, he still haven't given up on those 9th stage wisps that could possibly allow him to breakthrough into the next stage.

”Very well, you lot of the Cout clan, we are leaving.”

Gory took Hary's body and together with the remaining members of the Cout Clan, he left straight away.

How could Shinja and the others not notice what he was planning? But that was fine, they just need a few minutes and everything will be over, Krune looked at everyone and said.

”Alright, we are teleporting all the wisps straight away, I already tested the teleport formations on the way here, so everything is fine.”

Krune then looked at the demon beasts that were bound by the contract to protect the cave and then at Lakin, his disciple noticed what he meant and came forward to talk.

”We are leaving the Katiu Forest for a very long time, maybe even forever, so according to our contract, the wisps that you should protect aren't going to be here anymore, so you are now free to do whatever you want, I believe that with the experiences you had today your cultivations will soar in the future, our relationship is over here.”

Hearing that, the majority of the beasts left straight away, to be free of the blood contract bindings was the best news they heard today, they got a lot to digest from today's battle as well, not to mention that those guys would definitely come back later with even more forces, staying here would be suicide.

Lakin looked as demon beast after demon beast left one after another, but in the end, there were three demon beasts that stayed, Lakin looked puzzled at them.

Krune saw that too but didn't say anything, Lakin was the one who gathered those guys, and whether he decides to take them in or kick them away, it is his problem.

Krune went back to the Spiritual Vein lake, before activating the teleport formation, he took out a few Healing Pills that he had been keeping for situations like this, he looked at the state that Shinja and the others looked like but didn't say anything, between real friends, no words were necessary, he just carved today's events in his heart.

While Yusa and the others were recovering, Lakin appeared inside the Spiritual Vein Lake Room and behind him, one could see those three demon beasts from before.

Krune laughed at that sight.

”Are those your new friends?”

Lakin and those demons seemed a little at loss with that question.

”I guess you could say that.”

There wasn't even a need to mention the Lizard Dragons, they obviously were there as well.

Slowly, Yusa and the others stood up, they didn't have time to waste here, after all, Krune then explained how he set up the formation at the Raskie Danger Zone, there is also a Concealing formation to hide their presence once they get there.

”Alright, we need one person in each formation, Yusa has the Concealing Runestone Formations, one for the Solie Clan Formation and one for the Harta City Formation, the one in the Raskie Danger Zone already has one like I said, Ao will stay in the Solie Clan, Yusa will check the Harta City's, Shinja has the highest cultivation, so she takes care of the Raskie Danger Zone, she can simply scare away any beast that approaches the formation, I will stay behind to send everyone, any question?”

Everyone shook their heads.

”Very well, time is of essence, let's go!”
