601 Operation Begin (1/2)

Alex calculated the number of Array Plates he needed to trap everyone from Black Devil Sect. He could somehow trap a thousand people with a single Rank 7 Barrier, but the problem was how they split their group into five with four five-hundred squadrons and one thousand people in the headquarters.

He needed five barrier arrays to trap one group or three thousand people in total, and he fought with five groups. In other words, he needed to make twenty-five Array Plates for this operation. Of course, he couldn't forget about the Gathering Array to power up this Array Plates so they could stay for at least an hour.

Alex made a total of fifty Array Plates in a single day. It was quite an achievement, only for those with a strong soul like him.

Although it was a bit costly either for the monster blood or Spirit Gems, they needed to speed up this process.

After finishing his last preparation, Alex recalled everyone back to their cards and used his teleportation array.

He stopped not far away from those disciples. He summoned every single spirit. ”It seems they are too scattered at this moment. A group of ten, if I'm not wrong.”

”Yes. They are not too far from each other, though.” Nelson nodded.

Alex narrowed his eyebrows, feeling there was a hidden meaning in Nelson's words. He thought for a moment and opened his eyes wide, saying. ”You want me to be bait?”

”As much as I hate this plan, this is the only way to gather their attention.” Nelson closed his eyes in regret.

”I don't really mind about it as long as it's effective.” Alex shrugged. He thought for a minute before saying, ”I will appear right above them and attack with some sort of flashy attack to garner their attention. Considering their number and positioning… You are going to activate the array, Nelson.”

”Yes. I will activate it at the best time.” Nelson nodded.

”On the other hand, I want all of you to spread around… Anya can support us while Greg protects her. As for the other eight, including Nelson, will spread toward eight directions. I will be the center, so when I start attacking them, you guys can wreak havoc from their back before making your way toward me.” Alex said.

”Understood.” The spirits nodded. Anna looked down for ten seconds and asked Alex, ”How about the True Spirit Body? Are all of us going to use it at the same time?”

”I believe we can destroy four groups before one day passes with their number and positioning. That's why I want Vera, Fabio, and Jeanne to hold until we eradicate the second group. These three will surely last until we wipe them out. As for the other spirits, I will see what I can do with the EXP Cards.” Alex explained.

”Are you worried about your instinct taking over? If you think that way, you can undo your True Spirit Body and attack them normally. There might be a time I will use your Thunder God Cannon. Killing a hundred people with that should be fine, and if I raise your level once, it will be perfect.” Alex nodded with a gentle smile, ensuring Leoz.

”Understood. I will hold as long as possible… Assuming my fighting style, I will be out after killing six thousand people. Still, I will surely kill as many people as possible.” Leoz nodded with a serious expression.

Everyone knew that Leoz would surely do that, especially with his 6-Star Martial Monarch strength.

”Alright. Go to your position.” Alex ordered.

”True Spirit Body!” Seven of them quickly used their True Spirit Body.

”Life Blessing.” Anya tapped the ground twice with her wand as light glowed from her staff and flowed inside their body.

Alex and the others felt the power-up in this skill. For Alex, he could somehow feel that his power had reached the 10-Star Martial Emperor. He took a deep breath before saying, ”Go!”

They had finished their preparation, so they disappeared right after hearing that signal. Alex waited for one minute before he snapped his finger, creating a magic circle beneath his feet.

He blinked his eyes for a split second, and he was already above the sky. Alex looked upon them, and even some of them had noticed him in the sky. They frowned, not knowing Alex's identity. However, they remembered a certain explanation from their elders.

The attacker wore a mask to hide his face, and somehow they could relate it with this person. Alex smiled and took advantage of this 0.1-second confusion to create a huge phoenix and hundreds of firebirds in the sky.

He sent all those firebirds toward the ground, scattering them around to hit as many as possible. On the other hand, the phoenix went to a group of three, blasting them into smithereens.

”Boom Boom Boom!”

”That is the attacker!”

”Attack him, but make sure you don't kill him. We need to extract information from them. A few of you go to the Headquarters to inform them about this.” The person that seemed to be the commander roared.

”Attack!”

Alex smirked as it was according to the plan. He waited for another few seconds, gathering more and more attention. The people, who saw him first, managed to react and jump toward him.

Alex took a glimpse of their faces before raising his right hand and snapping his finger.

They were confused about such an action that didn't do anything. However, the moment they saw a barrier suddenly erected to the sky, trapping all of them in a single space, they realized they had been tricked.

Of course, Alex was just bluffing. The flick actually didn't do anything other than bait. He wanted to make them think it was his doing so they would focus on him.

As for the person in question, Nelson, already disappeared and took his own position.

”Attack him!”

”If we defeat him, the barrier won't last.”
