Chapter 929 - Thats For Sure (1/2)

Frin had a nasty expression on his face, knowing that his Demon Beast Alliance had lost three of its Divine Demon Beasts already. ”How could this guy be right under our noses all this time without us even knowing? My Demon Beast Alliance is fucked now. Did you see it? In the middle of those demon beasts that tried to stop us, two of them were part of our group. That meant they also fell for the power of the crimson sphere.”

Duran nodded, his expression not any better than Frin as he said in response, ”I saw it. However, you at least know that they're part of your alliance. As for the Zasfins, I haven't found a single member from my group. After all, those spheres will kill anyone who isn't a demon beast straight away. With that, who knows how many of them have already succumbed to death?”

Roan didn't care about any of that, telling them, ”Stop complaining and let's go find the other spheres.”

”What?!” Rean and the others were taken aback by that. ”Didn't you see what just happened? We were almost trapped by a horde of them. We might not be able to escape next time,” Rean complained as he healed Frin and Duran's injuries.

Roan shook his head as he explained in response, ”And that's exactly why we can't stop. For that guy to put up such a strong defense for those spheres, those things obviously mean a lot for him. Most likely, the more spheres we destroy, the weaker he'll become. At the very least, his control over the demon beasts should decrease.”

Roan continued, ”There's one good thing, though. It seems like he can only find our positions when we're close to one of the spheres or a demon beast being controlled by them. We had passed by many low-level demon beasts, which should have been the method how he tracked our movements since we didn't bother hiding when there wasn't anything dangerous.”

With that, Rean soon understood what Roan meant. ”I see...but wouldn't it be too risky?”

Duran was the one to answer that. ”Now that I think about it, there should be a lot of danger. We just need to make sure we hide well with your concealment skill while moving. Without Spiritual Sense or Soul Power Scanning, it should be possible. We can even try to use a hit and run tactic.”

Roan agreed with Duran. ”It's good that you understand. Since our positions won't be found, we can expect less defense. Of course, I'm sure that guy won't keep the crimson spheres alone anymore, so all of them will always have some protection.”

”It isn't much of a problem,” Duran could not help but say in response to Roan's words. ”If he's telling all of the Stage Nine Demon Beasts to protect the spheres, that means his forces would be scattered all around. It'll be a lot easier to flee as soon as we destroy a crimson sphere.”

”Exactly.” Roan agreed with Duran. ”I will also select the spheres at random. So far, we've always headed to the closest one to us. This made it even easier for that guy to track us. This time, I'll select different crimson spheres from random points. Let's keep this up until only around 10 to 20 spheres remain in the end.”

”Why 10 to 20?” Frin could not help but ask.
