262 Mole (1/2)

---

Raven and his Team flew for more than an hour and they were nearly at their destination.

Anne already confirmed that there would be no Diamond Dust Eclipse, she then joined Mark in watching for their tracks in case some beast decides to follow them.

Ellen flew in front of the group, Paul will make sure to point her in the correct direction so that they won't be lost. Luna closely observed Ellen and whenever she's showing any kind of fatigue, she would immediately supply her with Energy so that she could continue her flight.

Raven had been in deep thought ever since. On contrary to his silence, his mind was bustling with activity. He had been formulating a plan from the start. He wanted to take all accounts in and make sure that he could give out orders that would lead them to the best case scenario.

”I can see them!” Anne exclaimed which gathered the attention of the team. Raven heard her and immediately activated his ocular technique to gaze up ahead.

Raven's vision extended all the way to a kilometer in front of him. He saw several wounded soldiers from their side, they were currently fighting with some folks who are wearing an all black attire with a black veil covering their faces. Just from this attire alone, they could already confirm that these people really came from the Black Curtain Guild.

”We'll take ground from here. Anne you stay up in the air, wait for my signal.”

Raven then tapped the stomach of the Pegasus, causing it to fly down. Ellen then started gliding down with Paul and Mark jumped down as well.

When they reached the ground, they immediately grouped up and waited for Raven's orders. Raven started handing out orders and once they were done, they immediately ran forward in blurring speeds.

Paul ran forward with them but he was slower, it didn't matter too much since once he entered a specific distance away from their troops, he raised his spear and threw it in a graceful arc. He then crouched down and pumped his legs with energy. His whole body then shot forward like a blazing star, going so fast that he went ahead of his team.

During the clash between the Resource Gathering Troops and the Black Curtain minions, a spear suddenly appeared between them. Everyone looked around to see where this spear came from but then they immediately heard a harsh whistle coming from above.

Paul fell down like a meteor towards his spear, the ground beneath him caved in and exploded into shards the flew everywhere. As their vision adjusted, Paul's bulky body was finally seen. He was wearing a ferocious expression on his face. He then picked up his spear and roared towards the enemies with unprecedented ferocity.

As his voice echoed everywhere, it carried different effects to the people around him. To his allies, it carried a feeling of protection in a spiritual level. This roar of his also caused a thick blue barrier to appear around his allies. This barrier would defend against life-threatening attacks for about six times before it shatters. This shows Paul's unceasing training over the years.

His voice caused a severe suppression to the enemies though. They weren't expecting reinforcements to arrive at all, and it seems that the one who came was particularly strong.

”Don't falter!” One of the enemies yelled at his comrades, ”It's just one! We can handle that! We will kill him as well-Urk!”

This person didn't even manage to finish his sentence before his throat exploded into a bloody mess. His comrades felt chill crawl up on their spine. They immediately went on full alert and unconsciously grouped up with their backs against each other.

It was then that someone saw a blue flash charging towards them at extreme speeds. The one who saw it could only let out a gasp to alert his team since the assailant was too fast and didn't allow him to react that much.

He tried intercepting the blue flash but was stunned to see it change the course of it's flight. It missed him but hit the one behind him, and when the blue flash was gone, the head of his comrade slid down from his body.

Of course, this blue flash was none other than Mark, who's speed right now is infinitesimally close to Old Lee's level.
