Chapter 511: Retreat! (1/2)

Raven didn't even get the chance to say anything before Henry disappeared from his vision, followed by the disappearance of the light screen.

The tool that Raven created just now will only capture the real time image of the other party within a certain distance, once they moved out of the range, it will turn ineffective.

Hearing the orders of Henry and the anxiety of his voice caused Raven to inhale sharply.

Raven wasted no time and immediately sat up, yelling: ”Guys! Wake up! We have to leave as soon as possible. Get your things quickly and board the shuttle! We'll leave as soon as I take this formation down! Move!”

His roars jolted everyone awake. Sensing the solemnness on his voice, the rest didn't say anything and immediately went into action. Even the poor Jason, who literally was just about to lay down, shot up to his feet and started moving much to his dismay.

Thankfully, the team moved relatively quick. By the time Raven was on the last stage of deactivating the formation, all of them were already boarding the shuttle and were just waiting for Raven.

After a few seconds, the formation dimmed down and Raven retrieved the disk. As soon as he arrived at the shuttle, Jason was already controlling it to leave this place.

”What happened? Why the sudden need to retreat?” Franklin asked.

Like him, most of the team members were still pretty shaken about the event earlier. Although they saved themselves from witnessing the Centaur Devil personally, it still managed to instill fear at the depths of their heart. It's not like they didn't agree with the retreat orders, in fact they were secretly relieved that it happened, still they too felt that it's such a shame to abandon the mission without even trying.

”I've contacted Senior Brother and consulted him about the creature we saw earlier.” Raven replied, his tone was a little heavy. ”He didn't tell me much but he directly ordered us to retreat and abandon the mission. I don't know if this is going to be marked as a fail but we have to follow his orders. He said that he's coming to get us but I don't know how long it's going to take him to arrive here.”

Hearing his statements caused the team to feel nervous. Even though they wanted to ask Raven how he managed to contact Henry, now is not the time for that. They have to leave. They're dumb. If their Senior Brother was alarmed by the creature that Raven and Jason saw, that means that the creature was a huge threat.

This place will most likely turn into a battlefield and if they're slow, they'll become casualties. Raven's haste in doing things was fortunate. For now, they could only hope for the best.

”Not good!” Raven's head sharply turned and looked behind them. He then roared, ”Jason! Make a sharp turn to the left! Now!”

Jason had no time to ask questions and instead listened to Raven's words, just as soon as he made the turn, something happened.

*BOOOM!*

An earth-shaking impact caused everyone inside to momentarily lose their balance and fall onto their butts. Large chunks of rocks and sharp shards threatened to fall onto them. Raven wasted to no time and said:

”Stay here and brace for more impact! Jason, stabilize yourself quick and regain control of the shuttle. I'll when I tell you move to a direction, you move! Understand.”

”Leave it to me!” Jason yelled as he immediately got up and grasped the control of the shuttle.

Raven disappeared from their sight, a second later and he could be found standing on top of the shuttle. His face hardened as he glared at the falling debris. Using a single thought, a large golden wheel depicting a thousand arms, manifested behind him. Joining his palms in to a prayer, a large golden hand manifested om top of him, shielding him and shuttle from the debris.

His eyes never stopped as he looked for the source of that gigantic rock that nearly destroyed their shuttle. Squinting slightly, his eyes locked on to the same figure that gave them a good fright earlier.

It was the Centaur Devil.

Raven's eyes narrow dangerously. He didn't know how the in the world this Centaur managed to sense them from that far. Still, he's too far away to launch a counter-attack, therefore he could passively defend himself.

The Centaur Devil was glaring at their moving shuttle as if it was its fated enemy. Groaning, it crouched down, plunged its muscular arms on the ground and lifted an enormous boulder, aiming it to the flying shuttle.

”Oh, you son of a bitch!” Raven spat as he saw the creature wounding up for another attack to throw at them. Compared to the one it sent earlier, the boulder on its hand was several times bigger.

The Centaur cocked back it's arm and swung it using all of its strength, it shot the boulder with such strength that it broke the sound barrier.

”Make a sharp turn right! Now!!” Raven roared at the top of his lungs afraid that Jason might not hear him.
